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

TeamViewer is actually a good one-stop solution for providing remote assistance, amongst other uses. I am using it to assist most of those who had issues with this mod. "Google" the Internet for the word "TeamViewer". |

Another niggle spotted..... If the thread title has quotes in it as per the attached when the nomination poll or threads are created / updated you get the quot characters coming through like ""The Best Pocket PC Freeware" Site ". See attached.

1. Update the following phrases either directly from the product file or from vbulletin nominate_topic_has_not_won_TOTWFM_yet nominate_topic_nominated_awards_TOTWFM 2. Open the following file "upload/nominate_topic.php" Search for: Code:
<img src=\"" . $avatarurl . "\" height=\"150\" alt=\"" . $user_username . " ". $vbphrase[xs_avatar] . "\" border=\"0\" /> width=\"nn\" just before the "alt". Here, nn will be a specification of your width. |

It seems a phrase is missing.
The PM title for winning TOTW says: "Could not find phrase 'This is an automatic message to inform you that your post on [post={1}]{2}[/post] is amongst the winners of this cycle time topic nomination contest.'." |

Hi TsirhCitna,
Ensure that you have the latest cron file (v 1.51) uploaded. In that file, data are read directly from vbulletin database, as reported here, avoiding the "phrase missing" and "vbulletin options" missing issues. The transition between week 31 to week 32 when smoothly: previous thread closed properly and new thread created with new poll id. :up: |
