Week / Month Topic Nominations
Acknowledgments:
This release would not have been possible without the existence of the former ?Topic Nominations? by J98680B2423E (Data) and "Post Thank You" by Abe1, which provided the mod?s core structure. A nice set of button and awards images have also been provided by princeedward. You can view screenshots at the original mod's thread:VB 3.7 Topic Nominations
What is Topic Of The Week/Fortnight/Month?
It adds a "Topic Of The Week/Month" nomination system for your community.
Topic of the Week/Month is a contest that select posts on which your community can nominate as the best and then discuss them during the course of the selected week/fortnight /month. Any listed topic (post, thread) is eligible for the Topic of the Week/Fortnight /Month selection. This mod should also work in VB 3.7.x, but it has only been tested in VB 3.8.
Features of New 2.0 Version:
50+ bugs fixed & 30+ phrases changed for clarification.
Fixed ajax functionality for adding & removing nominations.
16 settings to determine which users can nominate and which posts can be nominated.
Documented this mod?s limitations & changelog in the 2nd post.
Fixed Hall of Fame to to correctly display most awarded members and topic winners from the past 3 contests (3 awards per contest).
Added new setting, max # of nominations user can receive, to prevent a poll being dominated by a single user.
Added new function to recount # of current nominations received and past awards.
Added new function to manually finalize the current contest, close the old poll thread, and create a new poll thread.
An option to enable blog nominations is available and should work (coded by Data), but is not supported (I do not have VB Blog).
You must have 3 VB default hooks in the postbit template: see troubleshooting below for details. If you ask for help with a problem, you must state in your post if you have reverted ALL nomination templates and read the troubleshooting tips in the 2nd post. If you haven?t, do so otherwise you will be ignored & can debug it yourself.
Installation instructions:
Upload the content of the "upload" folder into your forum root directory
Import the "product_nominate_topic.xml" product via your ACP:
ACP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Product -> Add/Import Product (Allow overwrite for updating)
For upgrades only, REVERT ALL nominate_topic templates in ACP -> ?Find Updated Templates? or top FYI section of Control Panel. This mod will work only if ALL templates are reverted since major changes were done to them. Reapply custom phrasing to changed phrases as needed.
Adjust & save the mod settings to your preference in ACP -> VB Options. It is strongly recommended that you use the default, preset options.
Specify the Forum ID that will receive nomination threads and the Forum ID's for which posts can be nominated. Also specify the User ID of the nomination thread owner.
For new installs only, start a new nomination poll at:
ACP side menu -> Nominate Topic -> Special Actions -> Create New Poll Thread
Read the 2nd post for Troubleshooting Tips & Mod Limitations and the 3rd post for specific features of this mod.

but when i refresh the page it goes away but the image stays without the user who nominated the post.i have to refresh the page again in order to remove that,then after refreshing the page it comes back.any idea to resolve this,thanks
Hi, i?m using legacy and the nominate-button appears, but when i click the nominate-button there?s only a blank page.
Btw: great mod, mark as installed and nominated:up:
It's good, works on postbit_legacy, but when selecting a nomination forum, it says none has been selected when I nominate a post, also, the maintainence tools redirect to admincp/ when I use a custom admincp dir.
Did you do number 5 on install setup?
5. For new installs only, start a new nomination poll at:
ACP side menu -> Nominate Topic -> Special Actions -> Create New Poll Thread

Thanks for your support & nomination! Let me know if psychobike's tip solved your problem.
This mod should work with the 2 other mods you mentioned. Although they have similar code framework, but actual codes are different. You can easily fix your overlapping image by moving $template_hook[postbit_userinfo_left] to your desired location in the postbit or postbit_legacy templates.
Please use VB uploader to upload images - you need to click "post reply" or "go advanced" instead of using the quick reply. It's easier & safer to view, thanks
