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.

There were some missing \ in the code. I had the same problem. Try this code:

PHP Code:

// members choice voting announce bit 

$userstatus = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM memberschoice WHERE nomname='$bbuserinfo[username]'"); 
    if (empty($userstatus[nomname])) { 
  $nomination="<smallfont><a href=\"memberschoice.php?s=[sessionhash]\">You have not been nominated for any awards at this time.</a></smallfont>"; 
} else if ($userstatus[acceptnom]=='No') { 
  $nomination="<smallfont><b><a href=\"memberschoice.php?s=[sessionhash]\">You have been nominated for an award!</a></b></smallfont>"; 
} else {     
  $nomination="<smallfont><a href=\"memberschoice.php?s=[sessionhash]\">Your nomination has been accepted!</A></smallfont>"; 
  } 
   
// members choice announce bit

If anyone's interested, I've modified this way-cool hack to nominate/vote on pictures, etc. in PhotoPost. It shows thumbnails and let's you vote from within the gallery instead of the board. We just started it today, but I'm sure my members will love it. You can preview it here.

Thanks for the great hack!

Well, I am testing this hack on the Forums I Admin, but when i try to access the main index.php, all I get is a white screen. I've edited all the files to the 't', even went to my backups and edited those to see if it would work, but still nothing. But, when I remove the code that is to be placed in the index.php file, the main page works fine, except for the display of the Nominations and such because of the missing code. Is there any way to help resolve this problem? Thanks in advance!

Well, I guess I'll just leave the code out on the Forum Home template. No big deal, just one of the features that won't be used. Other than that, a great hack, and I am going to run it by the head Admin to see if we can install it. Thanks!

say you wanna use this for like a TOP VIDEO GAME or TOP VIDEO hack, you can do this by just having them nomiate a video or game and then they vote on it once 10 have been nominated, and i guess you would take out the acceptance speach part

am i correct?
