I've been asked for the updated files for vB v3.6.7/CMPS v3.0 so here they are. I've however not full error tested them but seems to work great for me (sorry, only made the changes to the CMPS only files).

I've only made a couple minor changes to Zachariah fantastic work so definitely can't take any credit for this fantastic mod.

Changes:

• Added: TABLE_PREFIX to XML file.
• Stripped: Module shell from the adv_portal_honorable template.
  (set "Use Module Wrapper Template" to YES)
• Replaced: $vbphrase[member] with "Member" in the adv_portal_honorable template.
• Added: "Registered: (date joined)" field to the adv_portal_honorable template.
• Added: Dateformat to honorable_member.php.

That's it, just download the attached files and follow Zachariah's updated install_smps_only.txt instructions and your all set.

Thanks again to Zachariah for this great mod!

Cheers!

Thanks for the help Ingmar . I'll take a look before next update.

Thanks, for Ingmar and Zachariah.

I tried install.

This messages from scheduled task run.

Honorable Member
Couldn't elect a member of the day, not enough members

My site has 10 members.
Because my site is just testing site.
Do I need minimum members?

And this messages from index page.

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.7:

Invalid SQL:
SELECT dateline, userid FROM quadnine_customavatar WHERE userid =;

MySQL Error : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1
Error Number : 1064

What am I wrong?

Thanks.

Admincp => vBulletin Options => Honorable Member
Change setting

You need to set the requirements to be chosen very low.
Then re run the Scheduled Task for the "Honorable Member" hack to choose a user.

When a user is selected you problem will go away.
On the new version I am working on there will have a default random user chosen on install

Thanks, for Ingmar and Zachariah.

Works perfectly!!
Awesome mod.

Thanks again Ingmar.

Did I suggest this before? If not, my users have asked if there could be a list showing the past 'honorable members' that were chosen. They are sometimes curious about if they were honorable memebr but missed it because they were offline for some reason.

nice, my members love this mod, thanks for updating it for 3.6.7

Why does it cycle through members every time it tries to elect a new one? This means that it selects lots of members, for only 1 minute each, which means they then can't be selected again in the number of days you have put in the settings. This is why it keeps saying there aren't any members, because it has already selected them. The only way i can see to get round this is to set the number of days before users can be chosen again to 0, but then will it cycle through members until there are none left or does it only cycle for a certain length of time?

I'm another person waiting for a 3.6.8 version.

I think it cycles through the members, but unless they were actually selected as the member of the day, it doesn't keep them out of the next day's running.
Are you having trouble with it not finding enough choices to pick a member of the day from?
