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.

PHP Code:

$DB_site->query("CREATE TABLE memberschoiceadmin (
  event smallint(1) unsigned DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL auto_increment,   
  nominees smallint(4) DEFAULT '0',
  nomineesmax smallint(5) DEFAULT '10',
  awardname varchar(255) NOT NULL,
  nominateone smallint(2) DEFAULT '0',
  voteone smallint(2) DEFAULT '0',
  PRIMARY KEY (event)
)"); 


look like status and statusreason is missing from install script

Yep, your right! ok i will update the zip file asap.

if you know how to enter queries manually

ALTER TABLE memberschoiceadmin ADD status smallint(2) AFTER `event`

and then

ALTER TABLE memberschoiceadmin ADD statusreason varchar(225) AFTER `status`

I will edit first post once i get a Chance to update it, again my apponlgies

[DPoole]

Perfect - cheers

[DPoole]

well i not getting no error LOL

even after adding them queries - this happens

When i add title to the Award name in Admin CP and enter no of nominees etc and press submit i get this `Action is succesfully updated!

but when i check it again all boxes are blank so i cant nominate on main board as its not available as it resets to nothing.

[trafix]

Zip file updated

[trafix]

so all is ok now??

could you post of pm me a link to your forum please?

this is a very cool idea, but just not what my members were asking for. they wanted to be able to nominate users based on categories. (ie. best avatar, funniest replies, worst signature, ect..) so im going to wait on this one, see where it goes

[trafix]

you can call the award what ever you want....dosnt have to be member of the month...you can change each month if you want to.

You can nominate the name of the award from your config admin

[DPoole]

I have tested this on Local machine and also on Active web and i get the same prob

as soon as i enter any details into the admin cp for it : example Member of the month the boxes go blank once i press Submit

So cause of this the hack aint activated but besides this the rest went well

will wait to see if anyone else has same prob

I gone over the hack line by line - been at since 5am so im pretty sure i aint missed anything.
