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

trafix, what about those errors when I try to install. Should I not worry about them? And where do I look to see why the leaderboard is not coming up?

Let me know if you want me to test anything on my board, I have a few days before I leave for Asia.

Which part of settings can I change the nominee numbers ???
I was wondering about that also...

I seem to have the same problem of booths not closing automatically. One question: If set up like the voting only starts when all candidates have been placed, can reduce the amount of candidates included during the nomination period to get thew voting going if all too many slots for nominees are open?

i have the weirdest thing with HIS. it's happened everytime i've tried loading something with HIS, but this time, i can't get around it.

when i go to xxx/install/hack_install.php? and it asks for the login information. i login and it routes me back to the login screen. it's endless. i tried overwriting your HIS install files directly with Links, but that didn't work.

any ideas?

So what can we do in order to close the booth ?

2 problems

1. Booth does not auto close
2. I tried to vote for a member for member of the month and was told I could not vote for someone I nominatted but I nominated that member last month not this month.

ok, tnx for the report ... noted to fix

My best guess would be a cookie problem, try clearing them.
