Yet Another Awards System

[Biker_GA]

GAH! I knew there was something I was supposed to be tracking down.

It's not template based. I suspect it's placed in the postbit via awards.php in /admincp. Unfortunately, my programming skills are such that I'd have to study the file for some time before I figured out where it was called and how to place it within the postbit in the forums.

[rrudeboy]

It'd be a simple moving a bit of the template around.
Either postbit or postbit_legacy

it's not that simple, especially since i can't find the entry in the postbit template ]

[Biker_GA]

I suspect it's placed in the postbit via awards.php. There's a hook in the postbit templates that would allow something like this to be accomplished. The advantage to this is not having outdated templates whenever you upgrade. The downside to this is not being able to easily modify the placement of the award.

[Mahar]

Suggestion

How about giving the ability to mass award people in specific usergroups instead of manually per user....I want to award people who have registered and I'm tired of going through the member list...I just want to hit Registered Usergroup and give it to anyone who doesn't have it.

FIX
You should make it so, if the user already has the award, that a confirmation screen pops up...I wouldn't want to accidentally give an award to the same person twice without fair warning....but for those who do want that, it should be an option to turn off in the settings.

[TomHQ]

I love your mod a lot but I was wondering how I could go about removing the "What is your name?" field as I don't need it because the username is already given.

[Biker_GA]

Template awards_request_form

[TomHQ]

Template awards_request_form

When I do that it says a required field is missing when I go to submit the form again

Where can I edit so that this black box:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/09/7.jpg


Is actually the color of the style / the customized user profile.

[Angry_Sun]

Help? I found out something though, it turns up it's part of: Block Borders in the Customize Profile. Why can't it fit under like primary content, or secondary content. Anything? Help?

[gamerfu]

Try contacting the deveoper at Battle-Lands.com (http://battle-lands.com)

edit: looks like the developer's website is down.

Well, any help?

Emailing the developer trhough their profile might work. :cool:

[klaja26]

When I have the awards system on whenever I try to access a profile I get

Invalid SQL:

SELECT
*
FROM
award_user AS award_user
LEFT JOIN award AS award USING (award_id)
WHERE
award_user.userid = 19
AND award.award_active = "1"
ORDER BY
issue_time desc;

I will click install once I get some help on this

I am not seeing an AWARD category in my Admin CP. Under the VB Options it is there and I set all the settings, but I am not seeing the category AWARD SYSTEM and the Award Manager as shown in the screenshot above.

To edit the showcase area, goto your style manager>your style>Yet Another Awards System Templates>Awards_Showcase

That'll be where you'll find your stuff.

Try uninstalling the product and double checking you have the admin cp stuff installed right in your forum root.

[daedelus]

Does anyone know how (in awards_postbit_display) we can get it to check to see if the user has received the same award more than once, and then to only display it once, instead of having it show up 3 to 4 times?

[realmr]

edited: found the solution

[Markos]

hi ive just installed this looks great thanks for this but i was just wondering is there anyway i can add something so i don't have to go to the admincp to give them the award just like if i click on there name in the postbit and i can give them an award from there ??

iv looked through the posts but didn't see anything unless i missed it

[jcline]

I am using the option to create a thread with award requests in a forum. Anyone know how to put the name of the award that is being requested into the title?
I am not good with PHP is the problem, but I know it involves editing "request_award.php" and the template.

I have gotten it to show the request reason by editing this line:
$posttitle = construct_phrase($vbphrase['award_request_post_title'], "$award_request_recipient_name", "$award_request_reason");
The problem is the award_request_reason variable is already defined, along with the award_id, but I can't seem to figure out how to tell it to use the award_name...
I know it's can't be hard, I just don't have that PHP / vbmod background ;)

[dai-kun]

'awards_postbit_display_style2'
'awards_postbit_display_style3'

still not cached.. I thought this was fixed TWICE?

Edit PLUGIN
YAAS - cache templates

Find:
$globaltemplates = array_merge($globaltemplates, array('awards_bit', 'awards_postbit_display'));

replace with:
$globaltemplates = array_merge($globaltemplates, array('awards_bit', 'awards_postbit_display', 'awards_postbit_display_style2', 'awards_postbit_display_style3'));

Edit awards.php
Find:
'awards_postbit_display'

replace with:
'awards_postbit_display',
'awards_postbit_display_style2',
'awards_postbit_display_style3'


This mod adds a lot of queries. Mod disabled: 31 queries, Mod enabled: 41 queries.
Does it add a query for each post in the threadview, even IF that person had NO awards?

Hi. When I set the display order ASC (or DESC) in award listing instead newer first (default), the function to display awards in member list (Member List: Display Awards) doesn't work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

[Speysider]

Just wanting to know, how do you edit the text so that it reads Emblems, instead of Awards?

[dai-kun]

Go to admincp -> Languages & Phrases -> Search in Phrases

Search for Text: awards

Press find. Edit and replace all "award" with "emblem"

example, for "Awards Showcase", change it to "Emblem Showcase"

[MagicThemeParks]

I'm sorry, I'm new to this mod :)

So, can you display different medals / awards for different topics or actions on the site? Is it full customizable as to the awards and how they are displayed?

[Bouncer222]

I have an issue...

I have created two different categories for my awards system, one category named Awards the other is named Achievements.

The problem I have is that when you view any user's posts, they show up in ONE box, I would like the awards category to show up in the box (style 1 settings) and the second category achievements to show up only as a number, Example: Achievements: 3
no images for achievements category, and it would show up under the awards box.

anyone know how to do this?
Thanks.

[Nadeemjp]

hey will you be considering to upgrade for vb4? cause i dont wanna loose this mod

There is currently no way to have awards from certain categories show up in different boxes at this time, it is just not a function that has been looked into as this has never been brought up before.

hey will you be considering to upgrade for vb4? cause i dont wanna loose this mod

Yes, but it will take some time as we where not able to get in on the beta to be able to get our hands on it to play around with yet.

[Nadeemjp]

thank you
by the way how long would it take you to upgrade once the gold is out? cause before i upgrade to vb4, i need to know all the add-ons are available too.

[Xanlamin]

hard to say at this time, but as soon as gold is released this mod will be one of the first we work on.

[dai-kun]

Is it possible to optimize it so it doesn't run 1 query for each post in showthread, even if member doesn't have an award?

[Xanlamin]

we will be working on that, but it was necessary at the time cause every time a new post was made in a thread it would keep adding the awards to the postbit for some reason.

[gamerfu]

Glad to see you are back again Xanlamin. :cool:

Your website is down (gaming one), and many of us got worried about our favorite developer. :o

[Xanlamin]

Work has been hell and I had to let the gaming site go, it was not doing anything anyways.

[Bouncer222]

so could you please update the mod to make it show like here? http://edgegamers.org/forums/showpost.php?p=1140455&postcount=1

[CypherSTL]

Hey guys.

Just to give everyone a heads up. With work and everything I've had pretty much no time to check these boards and what not.

But, I have been working here and their on an updated version of the mod. It still needs some work, and isn't quite ready for release. Some bugs are fixed, specifically the amount of queries from the database.

I'm still here, I'm not dead.

[MagicThemeParks]

Any info on what the 'updated' version will include? Any surprises? :)

[gamerfu]

I believe they stated Board Moderators will be able to give awards based on permissions in AdminCP. ;)

[Xanlamin]

Any info on what the 'updated' version will include? Any surprises? :)

To start with:

1. DB Queries have been fixed thanks to a contributor (credit will be given when release is published).

2. Ability to have multiple pages (No longer one long page for all the awards).

3. Planning for vB4 series porting

4. Memberlist reintergration

There will be some other cleanups with the code for the vB3.8 series.

Is there anything anyone would like to see done with this Mod? We will take a look at them 1 by 1 and see how they can be done and if there are some easy ones we should be able to get them out in the next release. But for now please post what you would like to see or any current issues you are having that have not been listed above. I know there have been some post of issues but it is easier to read them from this point forward instead of looking back over 20 pages.

So start your list of wants and issues from here.

Thanks

Xanlamin

[dknelson]

I love this mod as do my members. I've been looking for a mod that will recognize the members that are in the service or who have previously served. I've seen a couple that require template edits and etc. but I think that this one would do the job just fine. I just need some military seals to add those rewards. Does anybody know of any small military seal icons that would work with this mod to serve that purpose?

Thanks in advance for any help.

[Xanlamin]

Here ya go. Both normal image size and icon size for the awards system.

[dknelson]

I sincerely appreciate it but the file will not open. I get a message that says it is not a valid archive and to try to download it again. Tried a couple of times but still getting the same message.

[Xanlamin]

hmmm...wierd, may be something with the zip, I tried rar at first but the site don't allow rar uploads. Will see what I can do.

[dknelson]

Thanks...I'll be watching for it.

[Drocr]

What part of the code do I have to delete to completely remove the "Icon" section. Since my Icon and Image are the same its redundant.

[Bouncer222]

Here is something I would LOVE to integrate... Image is supplied below..

I have two categories, Awards and Achivements, both contain different medals. When they show up in posbit_legacy in the posts in threads, they all show up together, both categories, I would like them to show up like this EXACTLY...

This image is from www.edgegamers.org

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/11/20.png

I don't know how they did it , but if this is already possible, please let me know how. Otherwise, please implement this in the Admin CP.

Much thanks.

[Xanlamin]

From the looks it is two different aspects, 1 utilizing the awards system and the other being a link to the awards they are giving in a different manner, it does not look like the two are part of the same hack, this is also apparent since you can hover over the images in each and pull up a drop viewer.

[Drocr]

[Bouncer222]

ok so what hack are they using or how are they doing this? kinda new to vb so some help would be appreciated, thanks.

btw can u please implement all they got for their awards?
thanks.

[Xanlamin]

@Drocr: Not sure at this time, when we start digging into the code we will take a look at this.

@Bouncer222: I am unsure of what they are using to accomplish it. It will be something we will look into duplicating.

[Xanlamin]

Have now a copy of vB 4.0.0 Beta 3 suite version, will be installing on our test site so we can tear it apart and see what it all looks like for a coding stand point.

Xanlamin, is there any update for vb4 version?

[jcline]

How can I get it to put the award name being requested into the subject line of the award request? I was able to get the award_id into it, but for some reason can't convert that to the award_name...
I have multiple people that give out awards depending on the award, and the subjects are all "Award Request for username" which just lets them know who the award is for, not the award in question. That means everyone has to check every request instead of just dealing with the awards they manage. :(


Also for version 4 (or even 3.8 ;) ) it would be great if you could just approve or deny the award request from the thread (if you have permission to give out awards, maybe have it tied to usergroups) instead of having to go in and manage awards every time which requires copy and pastes etc.

This version installs flawless on vB 3.8.0 thru 3.8.4 PL1, if you are having issues you may need to look at your install of vB itself.

There is no navbar install, you will have to manually add one.

you can ignore the maintenance error it has no bearing on performance or function.

How to marquee the awards images (not icons) in the awards showcase in postbit ?

[Xanlamin]

Thats not something we have looked into

[Bouncer222]

Can you PLEASE develop this feature if it's not already out there... to have the showcase of awards in two separate categories in the forums like you can view on these forums: www.edgegamers.org?

[Xanlamin]

Like stated in an earlier post, that is not a single hack that does that. We can look into it and see if it may be possible, but I doubt it is as it would need to be 2 installs of the same mod and you can not do that without renaming things. You would be better off with 2 separate mods, or it would of already been done cause there are several site that do that.

[Bouncer222]

ok so I would have to rename some stuff and install a duplicate of this mod, what is it that needs to be modified or renamed in the package?

Great mod. Our members really love it.

What do I need to change to add the award name to the post title?

$posttitle = construct_phrase($vbphrase['award_request_post_title'], "$award_request_recipient_name");

I've tried the below code, and it's not doing the trick for me.

$posttitle = construct_phrase($vbphrase['award_request_post_title'], "$award_name");

Hi there, Xanlamin! :)

After having a look at the beta, any update on whether you would be updating this lovely mod for version 4? :)

[choccyclaire]

How can you make it so the thread isn't moderated on a forum that members don't have permission to post in? I know this can be done because the automatic threads work fine on the staff ap mod.

Currently any user requesting more than one award at a time appears like this in the thread's forum;

Award Request for Constara!
Award Request for Constara!
Award Request for Constara!
Award Request for COnstara!

Would be nice if the threads created also included the name of the award for obvious reasons.
Let me know if you don't have any idea how to accomplish this, and I'll resume trying to on my own.

Thanks.

[deathdlr]

I have attached examples. Example 1 is how it looks currently on the site. I have another site that runs something completly different (Example 2). I would like to have example 1 look like example 2.

I dont want the spaces in between each medal (example 1)

I would like it to default under the avatar like it is in (example 2)

I would also like it to default to rows of three or four medals per row like it is in (example 2)

Someone mentioned early in the thread about giving multiple of the same awards to an individual. When I give multiples of the same it just adds to the medal count. If you see in (example 2) there are silver or gold oak clusters (like real military medals) that get added for subsequent duplicate medals. Is this possible?

Thanks for any and all help...

D²

[Bouncer222]

second example is in postbit_legacy you have to chant it from postbit to postbit_legacy.

[deathdlr]

Thanks for the info Bouncer. I went in and looked at those templates but for the life of me I cant see what needs to be changed. Any help would be grately appreciated.

[Xanlamin]

You don't change the templates, you change in vBulletin Options > Style & Language Settings > Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template and change from postbit to postbit_legacy

[Trek]

Yes we will, but it will take some time, work and the holidays are hell right now.

This is good news! This is one of the mods that I consider at the top of the list that I need when I move to VB4. Thanks for all of your work on this!

[deathdlr]

Thank you that worked well. I still have a couple of issues that can?t be terribly hard to alter I just am not sure where to start.

You can see (example 1) shows how it looks currently after I changed the setting on the admin panel. You can see this looks awful. Since the style has a fixed width the awards shrink the visible window space of the post.

(Example 2) is how I would like it to look.

I have three categories for awards. Military, Site and Game. I have the display order set as follows; (military 1), (site 2), (game 3). I would like to see the awards set up similar in order of precedence.

As you can see in (example 1) there is a definite space between the ribbons. How do I go about taking that space out. I am trying to go for the look as a military rack similar to this
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/12/73.jpg

Is there any way to tie multiple of the same medals into a cluster similar to the posted image?


Thank you for any help you are able to lend.
D?

[Trek]

I'd like to make it so the tooltip for the postbit and member pages for an award use the "issue reason" and not the name of the award.

The reason is, we have trophies that we want to reuse the images for and use the issue reason to display what they were awarded for.

I know I can just duplicate the image in the awards section and I might do that, but I think displaying the issue reason there would be cooler. ;)

[deathdlr]

When I try to request a medal i am getting this message

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.


I cant see where my privelages options are messed up. Both reg members and admin get this error.

Thanks
D?

[Xanlamin]

Permissions set in the usergroups?

[deathdlr]

hmmmm.... i have found the only usergroup that is exempt is the unregistered usergroup. so adding. is the mod assigned to default to usergroup 1?

[Xanlamin]

I believe all groups are default not allowed.

[Brakkish]

Any answer on this?
Currently any user requesting more than one award at a time appears like this in the thread's forum;

Award Request for Constara!
Award Request for Constara!
Award Request for Constara!
Award Request for Constara!

Would be nice if the threads created also included the name of the award for obvious reasons.
Let me know if you don't have any idea how to accomplish this, and I'll resume trying to on my own.

Thanks.

Great mod. Our members really love it.

What do I need to change to add the award name to the post title?

$posttitle = construct_phrase($vbphrase['award_request_post_title'], "$award_request_recipient_name");

I've tried the below code, and it's not doing the trick for me.

$posttitle = construct_phrase($vbphrase['award_request_post_title'], "$award_name");


I've resorted to quoting myself. Mainly to show how many times I've posted and you fail to "support", while completely ignoring my inquiries. (note these posts including this one have been made weeks apart. more than reasonable imo) I've been cordial, and polite. However my patience are thinning.

And the authors wallet isn't getting any fatter from supporting this mod for free. While I DO understand your frustration as I've had support issues with mods in the past myself, you have to remember that you're getting this for free and you are owed nothing.

[Xanlamin]

I am sorry Brakkish I did not answer you right away. We do not have the answers right when everyone wants them, when someone would like to have something done first we have to see if it is even possible, this means we go look at the code and try it and test it, then if it is possible we tell you how to do it or release another update. We have not done the recode on this yet so the code is still sloppy from the original author.

[Bouncer222]

BIG feature request:

Could you make an option to disable ability to give users multiple numbers of the same medal? Such that when you try to give the user the medal, it will reply with the name that already has what medal upon submitting the medal to user.

I'm pretty sure this is not hard?

[Little Fancy]

I downloaded this and it seems to work, except there is no way to request awards. How do we get the request awards portion to work?

[Xanlamin]

permissions in the usergroups.

[Little Fancy]

Well, it is set so admin can request awards, however I don't see any place to actually request the award. What am I missing?

[Xanlamin]

Awards List: Display Request Award Link
Do you want to show Request Award link in Awards list page

Yes No

This setting in the Award System Settings.

[Little Fancy]

Awards List: Display Request Award Link
Do you want to show Request Award link in Awards list page

Yes No

Is set to yes, yet still don't see where to request them. Sorry, where?

[snowlion]

Awards List: Display Request Award Link
Do you want to show Request Award link in Awards list page

Yes No


Is set to yes, yet still don't see where to request them. Sorry, where?

hmm...it listed on awards.php page, of course. First go to yourforum/awards.php and then you will see the request link if you added any awawd(s)

[Little Fancy]

Ok, so apparently we need to manually add a link to that somewhere, because one has not popped-up on its own.

[Xanlamin]

yes, you must manually add awards.php to the navbar or some navigation menu you may have, it does not auto create the link...not yet.

[Razfaz]

Hi, first sorry my english.
The Mod works fine to me (Firefox and IE8), but if i open my site in Opera the Medals show in row.
How can i change this? In wich Template i have to make changes?

[Razfaz]

OK i solved the Problem:
in awards_bit
Original:
<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$award[userid]&tab=myawards#aw_issue$award[issue_id]"><img src="$award[award_icon_url]" alt="$award[award_name]" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;

After:

<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$award[userid]&tab=myawards#aw_issue$award[issue_id]"><img src="$award[award_icon_url]" alt="$award[award_name]" border="0" /></a>&nbsp;<br />

Change: <br /> after &nbsp;

[deathdlr]

Is it possible and/or that difficult to code this to show up in the manner I would like to see it? Thank you for anyhelp you are able to lend.

D?

Thank you that worked well. I still have a couple of issues that can?t be terribly hard to alter I just am not sure where to start.

You can see (example 1) shows how it looks currently after I changed the setting on the admin panel. You can see this looks awful. Since the style has a fixed width the awards shrink the visible window space of the post.

(Example 2) is how I would like it to look.

I have three categories for awards. Military, Site and Game. I have the display order set as follows; (military 1), (site 2), (game 3). I would like to see the awards set up similar in order of precedence.

As you can see in (example 1) there is a definite space between the ribbons. How do I go about taking that space out. I am trying to go for the look as a military rack similar to this
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/12/73.jpg

Is there any way to tie multiple of the same medals into a cluster similar to the posted image?


Thank you for any help you are able to lend.
D?

[Xanlamin]

You would need two separate outputs, 1 for the top row, then another for the remainder, not something very easy to do if it can even be done, so far all my attempts to do it have failed.

Also something you have to consider, doing so where you would show that many ribbons in the postbit makes for a very long postbit, 3-4 post would be equivalent to 10+ post as for scrolling down the page. You would be better off making custom code for your site to have it shown that way in there profile instead of the postbit, and we will not do custom code on a per site bases unless you would be willing to pay us.

[Trip]

I've read through all the posts, and noticed a couple of references to db queries. Is this mod considered server intensive or resource hungry? I plugged it into my test site and never noticed anything out of this world. I do have "display awards in postbit" turned off.
Anybody have any experience with this?

[swiftor]

Hi, any plans for a vb 4 version?

No, this is not server intensive at all, you will not even know it is there.

As above.

Not to sound rude, but it's not hard to go back a couple of pages and look instead of just coming in and posting questions that have already been answered with no intentions of reading.

[fpd42]

This is good news! This is one of the mods that I consider at the top of the list that I need when I move to VB4. Thanks for all of your work on this!




Agreed....much needed! :) Can't wait.

[CypherSTL]

I have YAAS installed on a test board and I am working on proper compatibility for vB4.

Not sure on the time frame, but I am hoping for a release early next week.

[Bouncer222]

Hope you guys can as well implement the option to have different award categories show up differently such as for example found here at www.edgegamers.org , somehow they made it show up in different boxes in the forums, just check out any of their posts under the avatar.

Good idea, but I can wait for a solid vB4 port first. =)

[CypherSTL]

Has anyone installed this on 4.0 yet, and tried working with all of the evals, etc? If so, and you've had some success, message me a PM please.

[swiftor]

Could I upgrade to vb4 now, and install the vb4 version later without losing our current users awards? (understanding that they wouldn't have them until the new vb4 version you're working on is done)

[CypherSTL]

What I would recommend doing, is disabling the YAAS Product itself, then upgrading to vB4.

That way, YAAS is still "installed", that way when the new version releases, it wont try to overwrite your database tables and what not. Then, all yu'll have to do after you install the new release that I'm working on is re-enable the product.

I should also add that the current release of YAAS "will" install on vB4, the main area with the majority of the issues that we'll have to recode is a lot of the display code. The backend and what not still works flawlessly from what my testing as came across.

You've made an error in one of your template edits. Triple check your modification and make sure you've put the edit exactly where the instructions tell you to place it. Also ensure you've typed the change exactly the way it's written in the instructions.

I have this same issue but only when i sort the awards Ascending (ASC). (When they are sorted by by Issue they show fine but I need to show them Ascendingly).

I have checked the template mod and it shows as follows:

<tr align="center">
<td class="alt1Active" align="$stylevar[left]" id="u$userinfo[userid]">
<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$userinfo[userid]">$userinfo[musername]</a>
<if condition="$show['usertitlecol']"><div class="smallfont">$userinfo[usertitle]</div></if>
<!-- show awards -->
<if condition="$vbulletin->options['cat_yaas_display_memberlist']">
$memberListAwardsPHP
</if>
<!-- /show awards -->
</td>
<if condition="$show['emailcol'] AND exec_switch_bg()"><td class="$bgclass"><if condition="$show['emaillink']"><a href="sendmessage.php?$session[sessionurl]do=mailmember&amp;u=$userinfo[userid]" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/email.gif" alt="email.gif"

etc etc..

Any suggestions??

Thanks in advance :)

Are you using MySQL or MySQLi? If I do remember correctly, that PHP worked properly with one, but not the other.

[Xanlamin]

I told you how they did that, IT IS TWO DIFFERENT HACKS....NOT ONE HACK DOING BOTH. One is Awards and one is Achievements.

Not sure if we will be able to get this to do it.

On another subject. Is it possible to have the awards show in the "View forum leaders" area?

We have also decided to do 2 versions of the Mod, this would be something that would go into the second one with an yes/no tick to it.

We are starting to get some request in that would require the Mod to be coded on a per forum bases, as we really do not want to get into that what we will do is 2 version into one. A free version and a Pro version, the free version will contain everything you now see + a couple of extra features. A Pro version that will contain more custom features from request, it will be more extensive but features can be turned on/off, and the point values will be functional in the Pro version.

[CypherSTL]

So far it seems that I won't get this done and ready to be released for 4.0 this week.

If anyone is familiar with this mod, the templates, and has experience with vB4 and would want to help me out with a few of my issues, please send me a PM or get a hold of me on AIM "CypherSTL".

Both will be worked on.

During the development of YAAS for 4.0, I will also be adding everything I add into 4.0 into 3.8.

[Emperor_Mel]

Are you using MySQL or MySQLi? If I do remember correctly, that PHP worked properly with one, but not the other.

Using: MySQL version 5.0.81-community

Is it possible to fix it?

[RK1gaming]

Thanks guys for the updates on the Dev to VB4.0 - I stopped by Battlelands but seemed like a ghost town ...

I understand the huge change this will take so take your time and get a stable product out .. any ideas on the cost yet for the pro version ..

[Skydiver10]

VB version: 3.8.4 PL2
MySQL version: 5.0

Hi there, I have installed this mod.
Install went fine, accept when I tried it out by giving myself an award, it gave me the award.... but in the process I got this:
Warning: mysql_insert_id() [function.mysql-insert-id]: A link to the server could not be established in [path]/admincp/award.php on line 581

The award showed up on my posts and it showed on the profile. Do I need to modify something on line 581 in the award.php file?
Or am I missing something? I can edit it..but to what?

I double checked everything and re-uploaded all files and xml file, just to make sure I did not forget something.

Another thing that is wrong is when I edited the "memberlist_resultsbit" template to show the awards, when I went to look at the members list there was a crapload of server error problems on each members line.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, maybe I'm missing a step? I also looked over the last 15 pages on this thread and only saw a few with this problem but they had a different message.

Any ideas?....thank you in advance...by the way this an awesome mod. :up:

The Battle-Lands site was a multi online gaming community that was just not going anywhere so we shut it down, if you wish to view this mod in action you can stop by http://www.75thclan.com where I am an Admin at and active clan member. On that site we have the "under sig" display of the awards instead of within the postbit, and a link to the main awards can be found in the game information module on the home page.

[Skydiver10]

Hi there Xanlamin, was wondering if there is still support on this mod or does my issue have no conclusion...just wondering if I should keep waiting for an answer....or if I just got stepped over and ignored....just wondering...thank you....happy new year!!

[Xanlamin]

Sorry for any delay in response Skydiver10, the coming new year has left us with preparations for the new, and had left us busy. We are unable to reproduce this error for yourself and others with similar issues, and if I think about it that is why we removed the member list aspect. If you go to the web site above you can see that we are able to have this mod installed with no issues and we still do not use the memberlist aspect.

Since some are having this issue we will look into it more so since it seems that some do wish to use it. Even though this mod is more geared towards a "roster" type of memberslist display.

Fear not, this mod is being worked on, we are going to do what we can to keep it compatiable with both 3.8 and 4.0.

[Skydiver10]

Hi Xanlamin, thank you so much for your response, and thank you for your help on not being able to reproduce this error. This will help others when searching this thread.

I really like this mod and I like the awards.php that shows the list of awards, a have started to compile some simple awards, when you get a chance take a look. I'm also trying to figure out the rest of the settings that offer thread and forum ID's for posts. Is there a manual or information guide to this or is this something I have to experiment with and figure out on my own?

Yes, by checking out: http://www.75thclan.com/forums/awards.php you can see how powerful and effective this mod is! I really like this! :up: What a list!

The new year will bring many challenges, and the whole 4.0 thing has opened many cans of worms, I do not plan on updated to 4.0 for many many reasons, so good luck!

I have spent hours searching this thread and other related version threads for this error and could not find a fix. I spent an additional few more hours on the web searching for database error information under different scenarios than mine, but I have found something that works on line 581 in the award.php file, I would like to know your experienced opinion with database errors.

On line 581 of award.php:
$issue_id = mysql_insert_id();

Replaced with this:
$issue_id = $db->insert_id;

This eliminates the error that shows for 5 seconds after giving a member an award in the adminCP awards.

~ With your expert opinion and experience with data-basing, is this OK?

~ When you talk about member list, are you referring to the memberlist_resultsbit; awards that show up on the community member list? I have not been able to figure these errors out since there are 3 database errors that show up in a row on every single member line. I can live without the awards not showing up on this list, since all of the awards that are won... show up on the awards.php list!

Look forward to your responses, special the database error above...happy new year, and thanks again.

[Virtualshiner]

On a website that uses this, www.vmkmagic.com , they have it so if you post in a certain thread, it will automatically give you an award. I have checked and checked in my settings, but i do not see an option for this. How is it possible?

I will have to take a look around the code and see if I can duplicate the errors, and/or duplicate your code change and see if it affects anything else in the system.

Most likely they have a custom script, cron, or plugin that does this. That isn't part an option in the awards system, nor will the demand be there enough for it to work on coding that.

If you want the code, I would suggest you get a hold of that site administrator/developer and see what you can work out with them.

[HolyKiller]

I do believe I have figured out the how to convert everything over to the new template system for vB4.

It is still a work in progress, and I'm just trying to do everything slowly so I don't miss anything and have to go back and do it again.

[Emperor_Mel]

Not gonna upgrade to VB4 until your all done.. :)

[CypherSTL]

I have my next release v3.8.3 running on one of my clan websites for some testing. Once I get all the tweaks done with that, it will be released here.

Some new features:
Point System.
Award Request/Recommend forms are now separate to avoid confusion.
Separate Award Request/Recommend permissions.
Few bug fixes.There is a known issue with using MySQLi over MySQL that I am trying to get worked out first before I release it. However, everything still functions 100%.

Not gonna upgrade to VB4 until your all done.. :)I have started working on getting everything moved over the 4.0 the other evening, still have quite a bit left to do. A lot more will get done once 4.0.1 is released.

[Veer]

That's really good news :)

Good luck CypherSTL, waiting for the release.

[CypherSTL]

Good news for everyone who is waiting for this mod to be ported over to vBulletin 4.

Everything is functioning 100% from what I can tell. I'm in the process now of removing the old styling code so it fits in more with the look and feel of 4.0.

vB 4.0.1 is scheduled for release on Monday, so I'll try my best to have the vB4 release of this mod ready for you guys to test :)

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare construct_depth_mark() in /home/cobaltli/public_html/forums/includes/adminfunctions.php on line 1823


Also tried "Give Award to User" in MODCP and got this


Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ';' in /home/cobaltli/public_html/forums/modcp/award.php on line 245

[Xanlamin]

You must have an issue with another mod that is affecting this, on our test board and on another board that is highly modified we are having no issues.

I suggest you start to disable your mods one by one until this error goes away to help you find the problem mod.

[racingsolution]

Looks like the culprit is the DTO Garage mod.

[racingsolution]

Well by deleting the function function construct_depth_mark from awards.php it fixes the problem.

[Xanlamin]

Does doing so also affect any functions from the awards working properly?

Everything seems to be running just fine.. I also had to fix a few bugs in the ModCp/award.php file .. there were a few ")" missing from a couple $db->escape_string lines .. no biggie though..

[DarkArmada]

Only issue so far is when an award recommendation is submitted, the user is taken to the standard error screen, but the recommendation is still PM'd to the admin user's PM inbox (my PM inbox).

Using vB 3.8.1 (going to upgrade shortly to see if that's causing it)

Awesome mod, could you make it possible that some awards are automatically given upon meeting some value such as having registered 2 years ago or having 1000 posts or being promoted to moderator and so? It would be very useful for medium-big forums like mine (15.000 members,800k Posts) so that the mod team doesnt have to give them manually. Bye!

Stupid question, but what do the points actually do? I'm running vbExperience which manages my point system - is there a plugin available to add the points to vbE?

You can assign a point value to the awards, once the user reaches a certain point structure they will receive the corresponding award.

From looking at the database error, it would seem that it isn't using the new query.

Have you re-imported the XML?

It should be using this query:

SELECT a.*, au.*, SUM(award_pointvalue) AS TotalPoints
FROM ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'award a, ' . TABLE_PREFIX . 'award_user au
WHERE (au.userid = '.$this->profile->userinfo['userid'].') AND (a.award_id=au.award_id) AND (a.award_active = "1")
GROUP BY au.userid

Have you tried to re-import the XML to overwrite to see if this solves this error, so far I have been unable to reproduce this problem.

yes i have tried to reimport the Mod. Does not fix the problem. Sorry for my bad english :D

Did that, the products list tells me that I am on YaAS v3.8.3, the latest version, but it just keeps coming up with a blank space.

I have tried to re-import, but I still have a blank option in the vBulletin options dropdown. Also, it will not upgrade the version number to 3.8.3.1, keeps saying I have 3.8.3 even though I imported the latest version.

[DarkArmada]

Only issue so far is when an award recommendation is submitted, the user is taken to the standard error screen, but the recommendation is still PM'd to the admin user's PM inbox (my PM inbox).

Using vB 3.8.1 (going to upgrade shortly to see if that's causing it)

I've upgraded now to the latest 3.8.4 vb version and this error is still happening. Members recommend an award, I receive the PM with the recommendation yet the member is still redirected to the STANDARD_ERROR page (address bar still shows recommend_award.php).

Any thoughts on this? Thanks

[Xanlamin]

Does the users usergroup have permissions to "recommend" awards?

[smartkidbk5]

Great mod, and i know you said you would be updating to vB4 eventually, but any idea on approximately when that will be completed?

Thank you.

This has already been done if you would have read more.

Hi,

I would go like to go back to the last stable Version.
I would not have the blank line, and "_" in postbit. Also the actuall Version makes Problems with the Database.

[Xanlamin]

Please download the latest release, this one fixes a lot of the issues you have been having. Sorry for such late response, but some of them took some time to track down as it was very hard for us to duplicate them.

[Speysider]

Your vBOptions bug is still not fixed. I upgraded to the latest version and I still have a blank option.

[Saviour]

Problems with your latest release...

I'm running 3.8.4 PL2...and I have run across the following issues:
1. Using a custom style and the Action column does not display
2. The Recommend Award link does not display
3. The collapse feature does not work at all on the awards.php page. You click to collapse a section and the option to collapse disappears, but the award is till there.

I have checked all permissions for those Usergroups I want to use the request/recommend feature.

Ami I missing something...or is this release still a little buggy?

[Xanlamin]

in the settings do you have the options enabled, not just the usergroups?

Will look into the collapse, but that is something we have not touched.

This is working 100% with no errors nor bugs on our test and live site. vBulletin version 3.8.4 PL2 running YAAS 3.8.4

[Saviour]

Yes...the options are enabled...

Every option for the Awards List is set to "Yes".

If you go to my Awards page and click the collapse button (orange arrow)...you'll see what I mean.

I uploaded and overwrote all files from the new release...and imported the product overwriting the existing one.

It has me swingin'...if it has you swingin', too...then it looks like I'm going to have to remove this. It'd be a shame, though...

What about the Default Style? Are any of your YaAS templates manually edited?

[DarkArmada]

Yes they do

[Xanlamin]

When you upgraded, did you re-upload the new files from the new download before importing the xml?

<font color="DarkGreen">dear Xanlamin:

First thanks so mush for this charming and great Mod really i like it ,

and if you please can you make this awards system not appear at the first post number one post ? at the postbit and also postbit_legacy ...

and the awards system started to appear at the second post number two post ??

[Xanlamin]

I am sorry, but that will not be implemented. There is just not enough demand for it. If you would like it that way then feel free to make the appropriate changes on your site.

[YAHOME]

Okay thanks for the reply

Alright, guys, I'm going to get a bit rude here.

Learn how to read!!!! Stop posting THIS DONT WORK ON 4.0! DUH! OF COURSE IT WONT WORK! QUIT ASKING IF A 4.0 RELEASE IS OUT! AGIAN! READ!

Go back a few pages, and read. For 4.0 releases of this mod, look in the 4.0 Mods.

From here on out, any questions regarding things that have already been answered, especially in the last 5-6 pages, I am going to ignore.

You can get as a rude as you'd like but I have read the last few pages. My understanding is that it was now working with 4.0, is there somewhere else I should go to download a newer version?

Maybe there should be something on the top information area that tells people to visit that area for 4.0.

[Xanlamin]

You miss-understood wrong about 3.8 version working on vB4.0 forums, nowhere does it mention in here that it will work. You will find the 4.0 version IN THE 4.0 MODS SECTION, there is a link to it a few pages back.

And this version has nothing to do with vB4.0 so there is no reason for use to put something in the top, in the search box type in YAAS 4 and search in the 4.0 mods...you will find it. The problem is some people are either 1. Not Reading at all 2. Only Reading 1-2 pages backwards. or 3. Don't know how to use the search function.

And even if you would have read 1 page back, post number 451 it gives the link to the 4.0 version.

[deathdlr]

how do you distinguish the different awards when it puts it in the postbit ? also $post[showuserawards] where is that located ? the db ?

Thanks
D²

[Xanlamin]

In the plugin manager go to the awards set. You will find it in postbit_display_start.

But if you mess with it it will mess up the mod.

If your wanting different display locations thats not where it would be, you will need to do that in the settings options or code your own, but do not mess with the postbit_display_start code.

[gamerfu]

The new YAAS 3.8.4 adds an underscore as spacing to each award in postbit.

i cant see any medal images. all are uploaded like it suppose to be but when i give award to some member then there are no medal icon only blank, problem arent with only this style it wont apper even in vb default style. . Look pic at attachment.

Thanks in advance.

[Xanlamin]

reinstall, make sure your paths are correct for the images.

[hardgeneration]

reinstall, make sure your paths are correct for the images.

and what will be the right path? i have uploaded pic to root/images but still nothing

[Xanlamin]

The path will be the actual web address like: http://www.75thclan.com/resources/Ribbons/Attendance.png

What format are you useing for your images? .png or .jpg? If your useing .png try changeing them to .png, lately I have had a few people on our site say they could not see some images and when we changed them to .jpg all was good.

[gamerfu]

Any ideas about my underscore delima?

will be able to look into that tomm, this week has been hell with work.

Check your postbit template, in ours there are no underscores so they should not be appearing.

Yes, I uploaded all the new files before installing the product

Did you allow overwrite?

I am not sure what I am looking for. :) None of my text are highlighted, they are all showing greyed out as if there was no changes made to the core postbit templates. :confused:

The mod itself will edit your postbit and postbitleg templates

Question Whats The Total Points for how does that work thanks.

The points just assign a point value to the award, and in the users profile for the awards it will output a total points for all the awards the user has that has points assigned to them. It is not for anything special just something to make it more appealing.

[smartkidbk5]

Great addon with the points thing. I just downloaded the update. Any way to view a list of all users sorted by most points? Thanks.

[Xanlamin]

Not at this time.

hi.
thanks for this plugin.

the problem white this is for send requast awrad.when user send the request error was show : cannot find this user : 1. 1

help me plz.

[dknelson]

This is a great mod and we use it a lot. The only problem I have ever had with it is that if a username contains a symbol...example: John's Bride....the apostrophe causes an error. I've never said anything about it because the simple workaround is to use the member's number instead of the username but just decided to mention it.

[Xanlamin]

try upgrading to the latest release (3.8.4), this has been addressed already.

[dknelson]

Thanks....I thought I was running the latest version. I've GOT to start paying better attention. :)

[dknelson]

Well...for me...the problem is now worse. It may have solved the problem with the apostrophe, I haven't tried it yet. But I just tried to issue an award to a member with the & symbol in his name and it says "User Not Found". It's worse now though because if I try to use the member ID number, I now get this error:

Content Encoding Error

The page you are trying to view cannot be shown because it uses an invalid or unsupported form of compression.

* Please contact the website owners to inform them of this problem.

It seems to work OK with a regular username but still having a problem with at least SOME symbols.

UPDATE: It seems that in spite of the above error, it did actually issue the award when I used the member ID number.

i install first one new version 3.8.4 and my vbulletin version is 3.8.4 patch level 2. but this error was wrong.

help please.

[forum4]

This works really nice, and I love that we can place it in the signature. Saves loads of room.

How can i place the awards in a custom place?

[rockintoon]

Can someone help me with any kind of css code or edit that can space the awards from the text, when i use the box it overlaps into the text. any help would be apreciated!

[Xanlamin]

you have an issue with your postbit code, and it is most likely one of your other mods that is causing your issue.

[Hell Bomb]

Any chance of making this look like your vb4.0 version. I like that one much better, with the separate page for the awards it looks truly amazing.

[chikkoo]

Hello,

I am trying to create a new Award and I got a error message saying "Unknown column 'award_allowrecommend' in field list". This also comes while editing existing awards.

I have disabled the point system in my Forum. If I enable it, I also get an error message saying Unknown column 'award_pointvalue' in 'field list'.

I have recently upgraded my forum to 3.8.4 therefore upgraded the YaAS to 3.8.4.

I went to phpMyadmin and noticed these 2 fields (award_pointvalue & award_allowrecommend) are not there in Award table. How can I manually add these 2 fields. Somebody please guide me.

This is a very great award system, I really like it, but in your description you said something of award automation.
Could you explain more on how this is done? My board is running on v3.8.5 and I would appreciate award automation.

Thanks!
