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

It's not the original queries.php, but for giggles I re-uploaded it to try again.

Same thing again

I dunno, maybe I should just give up on this one

I am sorry, but you are getting the error again that we fixed in post #293, so it seems you are trying without that fix.

This worked, dont know why I missed it last time.

Anyway, it works now. http://www.tech-unity.com/forums/mc_pollbooth.php

Thank you for the assistance and dealing with me MarcoH

No problem, glad you got it fixed.

What is the code i should put in my postbit to make people able to nominate other members from within their posts.

Thanks in advance.

Hello PEEPS,

Question, how can I keep my moderators or super mods from being nominated? :tired:

Thanks in advance

trafix, all your scripts (Hack Installer System) will not run on VBulletin 3.0.7.

When I try to run the hack_installer.php file, the warning is always:

Warning: chdir(): No such file or directory (errno 2) in /home/guitars/public_html/forum/install/his_files/hack_install_b3.php on line 30

Warning: main(./global.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/guitars/public_html/forum/install/his_files/hack_install_b3.php on line 31

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required './global.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/guitars/public_html/forum/install/his_files/hack_install_b3.php on line 31

You will probably not only have problems with hacks by trafix then, but with all HIS hacks. Did you rename your admincp directory by any chance? If yes, have a look at the ./install/his_files/hack_config_default.php

[mayzan]

Oh.. how stupid I was ok, I will try it now..... thanks Marco!!

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Once you have renamed that config file, and edited it, you can just leave it there. If you later install another HIS hack, it will not overwrite the renamed config file, so you only need to make this edit once.
