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

Nothing wrong with it, but a lot of peeps like to do things manualy "just in case" something could affect their heavily modded board.

Hmm manually ..... its not my idea of fun sitting there adding heaps of templates and phrases one at a time

vB trader manually .... i dont think so .... over 70 templates and like over 400 new phrases ...... manual is not going to happen .. lol

In the text file you mention installing vB Jukebox...

This is confusing. I have installed the hack, but have no idea how to use it. Where can I add voting booths? And why does the install text have info about vB Jukebox in it?

Seems like very cool! and fun Definately finds the small, very deep hiding politician even in me!

I think I found a small bug creating a db error when clickin at the "Leader Board" link. In mc_pollbooth.php around line 333

PHP Code:

$topresult = $DB_site->query("
SELECT * FROM mc_nominee 
WHERE boothid = $boothid 
ORDER BY votes 
DESC 


needs a TABLE_PREFIX, like in my case: scll as the tableprefix

PHP Code:

$topresult = $DB_site->query("
SELECT * FROM scllmc_nominee 
WHERE boothid = $boothid 
ORDER BY votes 
DESC 


Further, I think it would be nice if bbcode and smilies were present available for the speeches.

Cheers,

This might be dependent on my server mail options. When nominating my test member the test member receives a notification email with the message:
Could not find phrase 'mc_nomination_email'.
