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.

it's possible...i was thinking the same thing but didn't have time to do it yet....i want to add more contests but don't want to lose the old one.../w version 1 trafix...didn't do that yet... maybe v2.

[trafix]

hmmmmmm......

pgowder
Im glad that everything is working ok for you know.

RE second contest.........let me think about that one

[Jakor Sevel]

Trafix, it looks like a great hack. The only reason I won't install it is because, like someone else said, I like to have a lot of contests. Like....20 categories. It's almost like the Oscars Anywayz. My suggestion is that if/when you make the next version, make it so that you can run many contests at the same time. I'm sure it's possible but it might take a long time. That way people could have as many contests as they want at the same time.

Ok I will look at adding this in the next version .....

I know u are working on VBTraider right now , but any chance you will get back to working on this hack for version 2 ?

[DPoole]

anychance once a member enters his nomination speech it auto gets added to his sig so it shows in that user posts as well as a link to the MOTM hack as a lot of people dont even know its there so this way it would add more traffic to it.

[trafix]

Good idea!

I will look to include it with V2

I must appologise for not getting on with this hack but i am spending every possible moment trying to get VB Trader released. I have spent over 2 weeks on it already and i havent even started on the auction section yet....
