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

Basically this defeats the object of nominating that person. You are nominating the person so you can vote for them, aren't you?

I agree, it should be the other way round. If you nominate a person, that would also be an implicit vote on that same person. You can't vote on anybody else anymore, since you already automatic voted.

Just my view on this.

What exactly does this hack do ?

[trafix]

Members Choice voting hack .... you can set up polling booths for any reason you want eg member of the month.....

your forum members nominate ppl they think deserves to win the award ....
once all the nomination positions have been filled then the voting starts ....
all forum members can vote on the niminees and of course the person with the highest votes win

I dont know what I could have done wrong...

But in my admincp, I only see a section for the Member Choice and when I expand the menu, I have a blank field that I can click on and actually get to set up member choices.. But all the text is missing it seems.. Much like what the members see

To clarify...

When I 'add'

I get the first field.. Unknown what it is for because there is no text next to it to say...

A yes or no toggle.. again, unknown what for.. No txt next to it

The third line DOES say end date.. So that one is there and gives me drop downs for a date...

Any ideas?
