[VB3 RC3] Member of the day

Tested in 3.0.1

This hack lets you "elect" a member of the day (member of any period of
time actually, but defaults to member of the day).

The member of the day is someone randomly picked from all the users in
your forum that have certain amount of posts the day before, that have
visited the forum and that have at least 50 posts and 10 reputation. You
can also change that values.

By default it appers in top of the forumhome. It is a nice way for members
of the forum to get to know each other.

Info for hackers:
You may modify, improve, upgrade, redistribute this hack, include it
in another hack or yours or translate it provided you do it free of
charge and you distribute it in www.vbulletin.org at least, there is no
need to pm me asking for permission

Hi I've installed as the TXT says but instead of put $memberoftheday on the forum template I put it on the CMPS template... (the unique diference) but when I try to run the scheduled task it says this...

Warning: main(): open_basedir restriction in effect. File(/includes/cron/memberoftheday.php) is not within the allowed path(s): (/home/motos/:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php:/tmp) in /home/motos/public_html/foro/admincp/cronadmin.php on line 56

Warning: main(/includes/cron/memberoftheday.php): failed to open stream: Operation not permitted in /home/motos/public_html/foro/admincp/cronadmin.php on line 56

Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required '/includes/cron/memberoftheday.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/motos/public_html/foro/admincp/cronadmin.php on line 56

so I open the cronadmin.php to see if there's a mistake and I don't see anything wrong...

if any one knows how to repair this disaster... I would be very congratulated

thx alot

aRG, I' so stupid, I forgotten the dot before /includes/cron/memberoftheday.php.

well I've just made it run but now appears ! as a member of the day.

When I executed the task it said this

log_cron_action("Member of the day elected: $memberOfTheDay[username]", $nextitem); ?>?>

and now I coudn't run the task again because it says
Couldn't elect a member of the day, not enough members

I've configurated the file for, anybody could be member of the day (for proposes only) but as I said before apears ! instead of the name of one of the forum...

is that correct???

thx

Has anyone installed on 3.0.3?

If I want to make this a MEMBER OF MONTH. Does the box show up every day or just that one day where it picks a member? I just want it to be there for that one day.

Also I dont use the reputation system if I set the permissions to 0 for that than that will be off right?

[Pixelgrounds]

i would love a member of the month hack, has anyone done one ?

[StuKeR]

pixelgrounds just select Month by Month and the hack will select the user of the month .

But I don't get to make the hack running :'(. always put the ! exclamation mark instead of the user :'(

Suker... there's probably noone matching the description. Maybe you should change nr of posts etc requier. The same thing happened to me when I changed the reputation value by mistake.

hi, there's no mistake with the requier, cause I'f the template runs on the forumhome it works well. I try to modify the $memberoftheday for the new $adv_portal_memberoftheday on the index.php but I don't get to make it run...

there's someone as an angel who wants to help me :ermm: :ermm: ?
