Members Choice voting hack - V2 with usergroup permissions

I have eventually got around to porting and releasing this hack on vborg for vb 3.0.5

1 file edit
3 template edit
3 new db table

This hack uses and includes a copy of the [HIS] Hack Installer System (Build 3)
released by Link14716 and can be found here --> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=71542


This is similar to the earlier version however i have mane some changes including the ability to run more that one polling booth at a time

The member who nominates another can give reason for nominating the person.
and then the nominee can add an acceptance speech.
Avatars are also displayed for both nominee and nominator.

A Tutorial for manual install can be found here https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=76050

UPDATE V1.1

missing phrases added
changed wrong phrase call in template
fixed db quirie to add the table prefix


UPDATE V1.2

Changed phrasegroup id due to conflict with another hack

Update V2
1. Booth auto close.
2. Add option for nominate to be able to vote for the person they nominated
3. Add option to deny admin from nomination.
4. Added usergroup permissions for
-- Who can vote
-- Who can nominate
-- who can remove nominees
-- who can see votes.
5) fixed some phrases
If you are upgrading please be sure to remove the "1" folder before starting the install of v2

The 'see who's voted ' link on each poll just showed up for some booths now, but it wasnt before. Some are now missing the 'vote for' link, and some have the 'vote for' link and the 'see whos voted' link.

I may delete all the polls and readd them, and it may be fixed.. I am not sure..

very odd problems

Strangest part is these things started changing just recently without me changing anything. And the poll close date is the end of Feb

[trafix]

these links are dependant on the settings in the vb options .... eg if the options are set for no voting until all nominations are filled ... then the vote link will not be there until all the nominations are filled ... and likewise they will disapear when the polling booth closes

How to fix the Admincp Link

in index.php edit

construct_nav_group("$vbphrase[mc_members_choice]", '<hr />');

change to

construct_nav_group("Member's Choice", '<hr />');

There seems to be a few phrase issues?

[trafix]

i have passed these issues onto the coder if the HIS, you can post your concerns there

It would be nice to have either an "opt-out" option in the UCP, or settings in the ACP to make certain usergroups ineligible from being nominated. As soon as I put it up I was nominated (as admin) and nobody else wanted to do any other nominations
