Topic (incl. Blog) of the Week/Fortnight/Month Nomination v1.636
Developer Last Online: Oct 2011
On my board (USS Enterprise, NCC-1701-D), we get many comments daily or weekly on many different topics and there are so many topics in the community that to be honest, we had a tough time remembering the topic being reviewed to offer a timely comment or response. Obviously, we needed a weekly/monthly topic nomination system with which we could get our community to commit to one topic as a group and then comment on it during the course of the week/month.
Cruising vB.org at warp speed, I failed to find a nomination system readily available. Hence, I quickly wrote this mod (on my way to the bridge). Acknowledgement: This release would not have been quickly possible without the existence of most hacks released at vB.org, especially the "Thank You" hack by Abe1, which provided this mod basis structure. Our thanks and all the merit goes to Abe1. A nice set of button and awards images have also been kindly provided by PrinceEdward to whom we also extend our thanks. Many constructive feedbacks have been given by those members at the vB.org community who downloaded the first releases of this Mod, the implementation of which has led to an improved version of the Mod. We extend our thanks to those members. What this mod does It adds a "Topic Of The Week/Month" nomination system to your community. What is Topic Of The Week/Month? Topic of the Week/Month is a contest that select posts on which your community can commit to as a group and then comment/discuss on them during the course of the selected week/month. Any listed topic (post, thread) is eligible for the Topic of the Week/Month selection. What determines a Topic Of The Week/Month? Topic Of The Week/Month is based on a simple nomination system. Throughout the selected forums, members with adequate permissions can nominate their favorite topic by clicking on the award nomination button below the post. The five topics with the most votes during the course of the week/month are automatically displayed on a nomination thread including a poll feature. At the end of the week/month, the first three topics with the most votes are the award winners of the contest. Features:
Installation instructions Version 1.63
Enjoy Update in version 1.01 Nominated posts titles hot linked in the poll to actual thread/post of the forum Update in version 1.1
Update in version 1.2
Update in version 1.21
Update in version 1.22
Update in version 1.3
Update in version 1.35
Update 14/07/2008 in cron file I noticed that some code instructions fail to work properly depending on the PhP version been used. If you are running the v 1.35 and TOTW on a weekly basis and if for some reason, your cron file failed to work and create a new nomination thread on Sunday 13, July 2008, please use the attachment "updated-cron-14-07-2008.zip". The instructions are given in there. Update in version 1.40
Update in version 1.50
Update in version 1.51
If you are running v 1.50 with weekly cycle time and noticed that a new nomination thread has been created but the display title is still that of the previous thread (week 30), then this is for you. Do not delete the newly created nomination thread (with title week 30). On Monday 21st July, 2008, after 00:10AM, proceed as follow:
Topic of the Week-Month Nomination v1.51 Updated Prod and Cron
Topic of the Week-Month Nomination v1.51 Updated function
Update in version 1.60
Update in version 1.61
Update in version 1.62
Update in version 1.621
Update in version 1.63
Update in version 1.635
Update in version 1.636
Feedback are welcome and implementation of constructive suggestions will likely be carried out during weekends only, as I am kept busy with other matters during working days. Also, feel free to add improvements in those files and post them. To other coders: feel free to add improvements to the Mod (files) and post them. I will directly use your updated files for the next version of the mod. Supporters / CoAuthors Show Your Support

Hey there..
Is anyone else getting a "Parse error when you run the task from Scheduled Task Manager: /cron/nominate_topic_cron.php on line 391 This is a fresh install and also I get an MySQL error when I try to update the posts icon. Database error in vBulletin 3.7.2: Invalid SQL: SELECT postid, threadid FROM post WHERE visible = '1' AND nominated_topic_amount > 0 AND nominate_topic_award = '0'; MySQL Error : Unknown column 'nominated_topic_amount' in 'where clause' Error Number : 1054 Thanks, Dave |

My apologies for the late reply in supporting you Guys/Gals. My Internet land connection went off last Saturday and I was in the dark ages until now. I have managed to get back online via a satelite connection.
Update in version 1.61
Quote:
Ensure that the column is_blog has been created in the table nominate_topic when you imported the product. If it has not been created, you will have to do it manually either via phpmyadmin or via ACP -> Maintenance -> Execute SQL Query. Here are the instructions (same as specified in the product file): Code:
ALTER TABLE `TABLE_PREFIX_nominate_topic` ADD `is_blog` TINYINT( 1 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ALTER TABLE `TABLE_PREFIX_blog` ADD `nominate_topic_amount` INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ALTER TABLE `TABLE_PREFIX_blog` ADD `nominate_topic_award` INT( 10 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ALTER TABLE `TABLE_PREFIX_blog` ADD `nominate_topic_award_rank` TINYINT( 1 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL ALTER TABLE `magician_nominate_topic` ADD `is_blog` TINYINT( 1 ) UNSIGNED DEFAULT '0' NOT NULL etc... I don?t understand why vbulletin is not executing those instructions directly via the product file on some servers. Quote:
nominate_topic_amount instead of nominated_topic_amount Get v1.61 Phrases on "nominate_topic_awardwinner_pm" moved from "Email Body Text" to GLOBAL phrase type in v1.61. This fix this "Could not find phrase" issue. |

1- Option to have award winners or nominated posts icons displayed on posts, so that nominated posts can be easily identified when listing posts.
Is it possible to show automatically when you select the topic nomination and show in the same post icons place like http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/image...ad_hot_new.gif 2- Is it possible to add page in admincp show all topics nominat and you can be delete the nomination does not deserve. 3- If there is the option allows you to add the nomination topic manually will be good not by cron file. I hope that you understand what I mean |
