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

I dont understand the manual install........... https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=76050

The thread you point to has install for vb_jukebox not the members choice hack. I dont want to use HIS so how do you install it manually?

Thanks in advance

I really like this hack. I too want to know how to prevent Moderators from being nominated. I see Admins can be excluded but what about Mods?

[esology]

if ($vboptions[mc_can_nom_admin] == "0")
{

if ($member[usergroupid] == "6")
{
eval(print_standard_error('mc_nominate_admin'));
}

}

In the mc_nominate.php file I see this line of code. Can I just add usergroup 7 to the 3rd line like this

if ($member[usergroupid] == "6,7")

to also exclude the Moderators.

This is a great hack.

I saw the question asked a few times before the last release, however nothing was ever done about it: this hack could be greatly improved if there were a spot to fill in the date that voting would begin, rather than trying to fill in "X" amount of nominees. That way, for instance: nominations could start at say, the beginning of the month, candidates could make their speeches, and voting wouldn't begin until a specified date towards the end of the month (and this wouldn't matter how many candidates there were... voting would be allowed once the specified date arrived)

I never know how many nominees I am going to have, so right off the bat users are able to start voting because of the settings I have chosen. Then, a better candidate comes along later in the month...

Is Trafix NOT supporting this anymore? He hasn't been on vb.org since June 6th! WTF. Anyhow, I wanna the ability to PM instead of the emailing...

ok i need help, this hack was not working for me so i fully uninstalled it, but when on my WOL page it still says people are looking at 'unknown location' mc_nominate.php

why?

[Hades-1]

$10 to anyone who installs this hack for me

[Hades-1]

its pretty much my database that doesnt work, how i can i manuall install all the databases?

[SaltedSlug]

Nice hack. How might I make it so that only one usergroup can be nominated? For the others it would say "sorry, this user is not eligible for this poll" or something, if you tried to nominate them.
