Topic (incl. Blog) of the Week/Fortnight/Month Nomination v1.636
Developer Last Online: Oct 2011
On my board (USS Enterprise, NCC-1701-D), we get many comments daily or weekly on many different topics and there are so many topics in the community that to be honest, we had a tough time remembering the topic being reviewed to offer a timely comment or response. Obviously, we needed a weekly/monthly topic nomination system with which we could get our community to commit to one topic as a group and then comment on it during the course of the week/month.
Cruising vB.org at warp speed, I failed to find a nomination system readily available. Hence, I quickly wrote this mod (on my way to the bridge). Acknowledgement: This release would not have been quickly possible without the existence of most hacks released at vB.org, especially the "Thank You" hack by Abe1, which provided this mod basis structure. Our thanks and all the merit goes to Abe1. A nice set of button and awards images have also been kindly provided by PrinceEdward to whom we also extend our thanks. Many constructive feedbacks have been given by those members at the vB.org community who downloaded the first releases of this Mod, the implementation of which has led to an improved version of the Mod. We extend our thanks to those members. What this mod does It adds a "Topic Of The Week/Month" nomination system to your community. What is Topic Of The Week/Month? Topic of the Week/Month is a contest that select posts on which your community can commit to as a group and then comment/discuss on them during the course of the selected week/month. Any listed topic (post, thread) is eligible for the Topic of the Week/Month selection. What determines a Topic Of The Week/Month? Topic Of The Week/Month is based on a simple nomination system. Throughout the selected forums, members with adequate permissions can nominate their favorite topic by clicking on the award nomination button below the post. The five topics with the most votes during the course of the week/month are automatically displayed on a nomination thread including a poll feature. At the end of the week/month, the first three topics with the most votes are the award winners of the contest. Features:
Installation instructions Version 1.63
Enjoy Update in version 1.01 Nominated posts titles hot linked in the poll to actual thread/post of the forum Update in version 1.1
Update in version 1.2
Update in version 1.21
Update in version 1.22
Update in version 1.3
Update in version 1.35
Update 14/07/2008 in cron file I noticed that some code instructions fail to work properly depending on the PhP version been used. If you are running the v 1.35 and TOTW on a weekly basis and if for some reason, your cron file failed to work and create a new nomination thread on Sunday 13, July 2008, please use the attachment "updated-cron-14-07-2008.zip". The instructions are given in there. Update in version 1.40
Update in version 1.50
Update in version 1.51
If you are running v 1.50 with weekly cycle time and noticed that a new nomination thread has been created but the display title is still that of the previous thread (week 30), then this is for you. Do not delete the newly created nomination thread (with title week 30). On Monday 21st July, 2008, after 00:10AM, proceed as follow:
Topic of the Week-Month Nomination v1.51 Updated Prod and Cron
Topic of the Week-Month Nomination v1.51 Updated function
Update in version 1.60
Update in version 1.61
Update in version 1.62
Update in version 1.621
Update in version 1.63
Update in version 1.635
Update in version 1.636
Feedback are welcome and implementation of constructive suggestions will likely be carried out during weekends only, as I am kept busy with other matters during working days. Also, feel free to add improvements in those files and post them. To other coders: feel free to add improvements to the Mod (files) and post them. I will directly use your updated files for the next version of the mod. Supporters / CoAuthors Show Your Support

J98680B2423E,
First of all let me say thank you for creating such a nice modification! IMHO, hard work by others is often used by others, but seldom acknowledged .... So THANK YOU!! Secondly, I noticed that in the postbit legacy your mod is placing its info after the $template_hook[postbit_userinfo_right_after_posts]. Is there a way to break that up for people who want to customize the layout of the information? Regards, |

An excellent modification,..thanks !!
Question?.... What is a variable that may be used in an if conditional to test whether the current poll is current or not. I wish to use this variable elsewhere in my vb forum to show a snippet regarding the current poll if it is open, and the current nomination poll. Currently, the only variable I know of is in the vb script and technically the poll is viewed as closed as the only voting mechanism available is the nomination button. Know what I mean? |

Is it possible, to have an archive page, of:
Most Voted for thread ( on weekly/monthly basis ) Who has voted the most Most awards won Etc etc? Would this be complicated to implement. Reason being apart from acknowledge our members, I also want to shame those who do not use this brilliant nomination system. Ozzy |

To prevent users from voting directly on the "Nomination Thread" page, but via the actual post(s) throughout the forum(s), I display the poll as closed. At the end of the "Cycle Time", the "Nomination Thread" is automatically closed, hence definite closure of the Poll. Quote:
For an empty poll, I left the "poll choice" hard code to display the text: "...Awaiting nominees..." For polls with more than a maximun "poll choice" post display of 5, I left the 6th poll choice hard coded to display the text: "Remanining nominations cummulated..." In the next version, maximum "poll choice" will be made variable (i.e. defined in the CAP) Quote:
Excellent :up:, will release an updated soon. Still need few hours in the holodeck. Quote:
