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

ok doesnt work.
With regard to the last week winners postbit,. Does not state they have won a TOTW award Plus last weeks poll, now resides also in last weeks thread. Mate cmon, this is a great mod, and i have nominated for MOTW... but somethings wrong. 2 of our nominated posts for last week are showing that they won the nomination contest ! How can that be? Both have "Has not won any TOTW yet" |

Working like a charm
Please don't forget about the possibility to change the thread link in the poll to open in the same window. Another sugestion... It would be great to have also the option to choose only the forum on wich the Mod must be enable. In my case, and maybe in other users case, i'm running the contest in only one forum. It would be easy to choose only the forum id where i would like to run the mod instead of giving all the id's of the forums where i don't want to run it. Just an idea because this Mod it's superb Great job |

Maybe i'm not explaining as i should... sorry for my english Bro
We have this option: Individual Forums On Which This Mod Must Be Disabled But when you want to run the Mod in only 1 individual forum you have to give a big list of individual forums on which the mod must be disable. Maybe an option where we could choose only the "individual forum on wich the mod must be enable" could be useful in this situation. Something like (the 2 options in the settings): Individual Forums On Which This Mod Must Be Disabled Specify the list of forum(s) ID(s), | separated (e.g.: 1|2|3) | Enter the value '0' to have this option disabled. Individual Forums On Which This Mod Must Be Enabled Specify the list of forum(s) ID(s), | separated (e.g.: 1|2|3) I'm doing my best to explain my idea Best regards from Portugal |

This is a great mod despite the few hiccups. Thanks J98680B2423E!
Quick question. Is there a way to reset the awards and nominations back to zero? |

We have changed the cron php file, and reuploaded. Have also for secondary measure re run the cron.. Still changes Nothing. Still populates week28 thread with week 29 poll. Still does not post in winners postbit that they have won totw. Still has for some reason given 2 users the same WIN status for one week, even tho poll results totally different. I am marking this uninstalled, until, ppl that have run this for more than one week experience the same issues, and perhaps these items which are crucial to this kind of mod are addressed and fixed. Keep up the good work. |
