Members Choice voting hack - V2 with usergroup permissions
 

I have eventually got around to porting and releasing this hack on vborg for vb 3.0.5 :)

1 file edit
3 template edit
3 new db table

This hack uses and includes a copy of the [HIS] Hack Installer System (Build 3)
released by Link14716 and can be found here --> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=71542


This is similar to the earlier version however i have mane some changes including the ability to run more that one polling booth at a time :)

The member who nominates another can give reason for nominating the person.
and then the nominee can add an acceptance speech.
Avatars are also displayed for both nominee and nominator.

A Tutorial for manual install can be found here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=76050

UPDATE V1.1

missing phrases added
changed wrong phrase call in template
fixed db quirie to add the table prefix


UPDATE V1.2

Changed phrasegroup id due to conflict with another hack

Update V2
1. Booth auto close.
2. Add option for nominate to be able to vote for the person they nominated
3. Add option to deny admin from nomination.
4. Added usergroup permissions for
-- Who can vote
-- Who can nominate
-- who can remove nominees
-- who can see votes.
5) fixed some phrases
If you are upgrading please be sure to remove the "1" folder before starting the install of v2

This is one very interesting hack. I might use this one.

Trafix can you provide a 'non HIS' install file for this? Tnx in advance.

Interesting. Does this work for 303?

=M=

yah id like a non his Version as well.

Yeah I just want to install it without this other hack. Looks like a perfect "Player of the Month" hack for my site though. Please hook us up with the proper procedures for hacking without HIS.

I think we've used this HIS system a few times before however, even though I prefer text files. i'm going to try it to see what happens.

ooh. i've been waiting for something like this for an organization. 1) a non-HIS installer instructions would be awesome!! if possible. 2) is there a way in the next generation to set the member choice via usergroups?

for example, i have a directors board that nominates and votes on the best members of the month. we don't have the members vote, so if you could restrict or allow only certain usergroups, that'd be great!

Yep, i will look at usergroups for you

I can ... but to do it manually will take a lot of time as there are a lot of phrases and templates

Yep it should work on 3.0.3 ... i actually coded it for 3.0.0 and i didnt have to change any code for 3.0.5

Can i ask the problem with the HIS?

The way i see it the HIS is stable and dosnt require and file or template edits, all it needs is one new db table that is added the first time that you run the script .... is it realy that big of a deal?

Great idea for a hack!! Sorting through nominations and votes is such a pain in the ass.
Nothing wrong with it, but a lot of peeps like to do things manualy "just in case" something could affect their heavily modded board.
