Members Choice Voting Hack

I built this hack at the request of one of my members before reading many requests for it on vb.org.
I have not added an auto award sequence as I have Lesane's awars/medals/card hack. However you can use this as a stand alone addition, I have a forum called "Spotlight" where I announce a member, product and service of the month.
This hack also makes use of my Links To Us hack if you have it installed.

The member who nominates another can give reason for nominating the person.
Each nominee will see a red "You have been nominated." on their home page, they then go to the members choice area to add a nomination acceptance speech.
Avatars are also displayed for both nominee and nominator, (Defult included)

As a member is nominated he is added to the nominee list.
For each nominee, members can:
1) See who voted for each.
2) Vote for a nominee if permitted, they can also add a reason for their vote
3) Read the nomination reasons and acceptance speeches etc
4) view their forum stats, this includes: amount of new posts, amount of new threads, amount of member votes, amount of new member refferals and if you have my "Links To Us" hack it will also display the amount of people that have clicked on their website banner. These stats start from the time of nomination.

Nomination and voting rules:
1) You may not vote or nominate yourself.
2) You may not vote for the person that you nominated.
3) You may not vote more than once for the same nominee.
4) Only X nominations will be accepted. (can change from admin)
5) You may nominate more than one member. (can change to one only from admin)
6) You may vote for more than one nominee. (can change to one only from admin)
7) You may only nominate members from their posts.

Awesome hack, and works great, except for one part..

The message that is supposed to be displayed on forumhome when someone is nominated, does not show up for me.

I read through all the posts, but noone else had this problem.

As the directions stated, in root\index.php

I placed:

PHP Code:

// members choice voting announce bit
 
$userstatus = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM memberschoice WHERE nomname='$bbuserinfo[username]'");
    if (empty($userstatus[nomname])) {
  $nomination="No Nomination";
} else if ($userstatus[acceptnom]=='No') {
  $nomination="<b><font color=\"#ffoooo\">You have been nominated</font></b>";
} else {    
  $nomination="Nomination accepted";
  }
  
// members choice announce bit 


After

PHP Code:

// get total posts
$countposts=$DB_site->query_first('SELECT COUNT(*) AS posts FROM post');
$totalposts=number_format($countposts['posts']); 


But it still doesnt show up :\

Any ideas?

Thanks

traffic can u make a small addon please

where anyone who is nominated gets a small gif or anything in their postbit (something which stands out) and once that gif is clicked it takes u straight to the Main page of the voting hack.

Not many people are using it as they dont know its there unless they been nominated so id like to make more traffic for it.

If nominated - get an ICON under avator - if not nominated nothing shows
