Members Choice voting hack - V2 with usergroup permissions · **Released**: 01-10-2005

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

If I am able to get ahold of the author of this hack, and they give me permission - I will port this to 3.6.x

EDIT:
well, seeing as their domain expired; and they turned off email from members here - this may prove somewhat impossible :|

Does that mean you can just take it over since you can't get in touch with them?

Can someone direct me to some better instructions about using Hack Installer and this mod. I can't get past step one in the mod's readme. The install file give a host of errors. I think I uploaded the files to the wrong directory, but how would I know from the instructions?

No... Even if it did, I wouldn't. I wouldn't continue / use someone else's work unless I had their permission.

Still no word from them.

I would love to have this too. It is exactaly what I was searching for.

I am not sure if this is the same guy or not but couldn't hurt to try and contact him:

We ported this over to 3.6.8 and added some features. I just need to check out if there are any unspoken rules we need to follow since some of the original code was used although it hardly resembles the original, better safe than sorry.

You would need to give full credits to original author.

If some of their code was used, then I wouldn't see why you can't release it, but give credit to the original coder..

Mum · #**360** 10-04-2007, 10:59 PM

Oh yay! Can't wait for this!

Ski-Whiz · #**361** 10-11-2007, 12:50 PM

From what I have seen, you can port this over, but give credit to the original coder.

MANY 3.0 hacks/mods were ported to 3.5/3.6, as long as credit is given.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
