[Forum Lover]

[CypherSTL]

Any changes from the 3.7 version?
The most recent version (v 4.0.2) for vBulletin 3.7.x also works on 3.8.x. It was just posted in this section so that people know it works on 3.8.

You have manually backup your old awards tables in the database and completely remove the old version of the Awards System including ALL file and template edits before you install this version. After it's installed you simply restore your awards tables into your database.

Is there any page included for example "awards.php" where will be showing all awards details?
You can access that page at http://URL TO YOUR FORUMS/awards.php

[Forum Lover]

sweet!! Must gonna put it. Tagged.

[Silencer Groans]

Excellent

I will be translated into Arabic product

[CypherSTL]

Alright. The latest version is uploaded.

The version scheme has changed. Currently, the same code-base works on both vBulletin 3.7 and vBulletin 3.8. However, with not knowing in the future if the same code-base will work 100%, the mods have been split up.

The newest build (3.8.1) has Member List Options, and a Version Information sectionin the AdminCP.

Read the release notes for the template edit for the Members List if you choose to use it.

[Silencer Groans]

I finished the translation into Arabic

Do you mind that the author here in Arabic?

How can I make my presentation instead of the icon award the medal picture?

[myown]

thanks ported for 3.8

[NAZIA]

This product is not compatible with version 3.8.0 Beta 2 of vBulletin. (Compatible starting with 3.8.0)

LOL...
Anyway I have edited the VB value for uploading on my board.

[CypherSTL]

LOL...
Anyway I have edited the VB value for uploading on my board.
Not sure why it's telling you that. The minversion in the XML is 3.7

[samraz972]

it says its not compatible with 3.8

[TheLastSuperman]

Not sure why it's telling you that. The minversion in the XML is 3.7

Just remove that snippet and be done w/ it :D

Just a suggestion lol so ignore if you feel the need ;)

Thank you for upgrade it

[Adam21]

Uncached template in awards_postbit_display_style3

I thought this was already fixed in 3.7??

[CypherSTL]

Uncached template in awards_postbit_display_style3

Oops.

Those templates were just added in the newest release, I forgot to add them to the template cache.

The templates that were added are:
awards_postbit_display_style2
awards_postbit_display_style3

[Adam21]

Oops.

Those templates were just added in the newest release, I forgot to add them to the template cache.

The templates that were added are:

Thanks,i've added them.:up:

[jojo77]

I don't understand what all the award request options are for. Read the description several times and still don't get it. Can someone break it down for me?

Ex.
Award request Forum ID
Create a poll in the new created thread
Award request Thread ID

[jojo77]

Also when I receive a PM for an award, it doesn't show the image but rather the path only.

images/awards/award_stargold.gif

and yes I did check to make sure bbcode and [img] was allowed. award images show fine everywhere else.

[CypherSTL]

Are you using the full URL to the images?

[Sunka]

Could I install this version in vBulletin v3.7.4 PL1??

[letsjoy]

No release for 3.7 direct for 3.8 :)

[CypherSTL]

Could I install this version in vBulletin v3.7.4 PL1??
The 3.7 version is in the vBulletin 3.7 mods section.

[PremierFootball]

I have uploaded all the files correctly but the Awards section is not showing up on the control panel in the AdminCP.

[Submerge]

Bookmarking this.

[Problemsolver]

Sounds cool but I was thinking if people have any suggestions on how to use this in a way that is not kindergarten-style (like "YOU TOO CAN GATHER GOLD COINS ON THE TREASUREHUNT!!!!"), I cant figure one out!

[Xanlamin]

Take a look at my site, you can see a way to use it that is not "kindergarten-style"

[IR15H]

Hello,

Thanks for continuing over this mod from the 2.1.4 version, finally upgraded today without a hitch :). I do however have a request, is it possible for the introduction of pages on the "My Awards" Tab in user profiles, as is implemented on the "Friends" tab? Basically, if you have more than say 10 awards, it breaks them down over pages, rather than causing the user to have scroll down a lot.

[EWGF]

Great mod.

Unfortunately it doesn't work perfectly on my board. When I assign awards, I get a white page with some error about the compression of the admin file. The award is still assigned though, but PM's or e-mails aren't send...

Edit: Nvm, apparently some typo in the translated phrases of YAAS =/

[lostguy]

Supported this one sicne 3.6.X ...Thanks

[valendono]

I have problem with construct_depth_mark if u using memcache, because already called and called 1 more again.

[Neo_Angelo]

you should code some new features for this like triggers, i'd love to see this developed more so that users can set automatically given awards when a certain parameter is met (for example a user reaches X posts, a user has logged on X ammount of times) heres a neat little list (ok i lied its rather big) of some triggers us admins would probably want to see (hey maybe even code a feature that will let us invent our own and share them):

User reaches X posts
User has been a member for X days/months/years
User has logged in X ammount of times
User has viewed a certain page
User has edited a certain field in their profile
User has gained X ammount of rep (+ive and -ive)
User has left a comment on someones profile
User has donated X (or bought subscription)
User has been promoted to new usergroup
User has X ammount of buddies/friends

i can probably think of tonnes more. if these were available i'm sure this mod would go far i'm pretty sure people would pay for features like this added.

[Nadavy]

It would be nice to be able to have awards automatically given out when a user reaches a certain post count / amount of time on the forum.

[Mr Peabody]

what about an award for buying a subscription?

[trulylowcarb]

Just wanted to say thanks! I had the original? version of this installed for v2.x and am happy to add it back in now for 3.8. Great new options for placement but I was also hoping for some automation as suggested above.
NOTE: There's a misspelling in the phrases, says recieved instead of received... anyone as anal as me might want to fix that one.

[Nadeemjp]

I am still having the same problem as was in 3.7.3, 3.7.4 and also exist in 3.8.0 versions of vbulletin. i have the latest version installed.

everything seems to work fine except that when i allow the award listings to appear in the member list, it gives error. which i have posted already on number of occassions.

please do something about this error. by the way do other people face this error too?

[Nadeemjp]

i also second the addition of automation suggested above. currently it is all manual and troublesome for us to go through member stuff again and again

[trulylowcarb]

everything seems to work fine except that when i allow the award listings to appear in the member list, it gives error...by the way do other people face this error too?
I had that error way back when, as I recall 'hacknho' was the listed mod author then, and I was only able to fix it with his(her?) help. This time, I get no error showing in the members list, but I also do not get a listing of awards showing there.

My biggest request in the automation dept. involves member anniversary dates. I have members who have been around for 8+ years now, and I wish there was a way to indicate that, with an award that changes on their anniversary date. I do have a nice little system using Ranks that adds a star in the postbit for every 1000 posts, but some of the long-term members are pretty quiet. I wish I could reward longevity some way....

[trulylowcarb]

Oops. I really came here to say that sorting does not appear to work for me, as I understand it.
I wanted to only show one award in the postbit, since I have rather larger icons in use, and after I awarded bunches of people for various things, decided I wanted a defferent one to actually show. So I changed the sort order, assuming that would change the display, but no go... even the display orer in the admincp stayed the same.

[Biker_GA]

We use this to nominate folks for outstanding posts on our site. What I'd like to see is the ability to nominate a post (I put the link to awards.php in the pull down menu in postbit_legacy) and have it snag the URL of the post as part of the message that's sent with the nomination. Doable?

[scottny]

finally got this working. thanks it is a great mod.

[TheArve]

Thanks for this,, really appreciate ur time taken,

[Jaxel]

Can I give the SAME award to a user multiple times? Meaning... I want to give out awards on my forums based on tournament results. There have been several hundred tournaments already, and I dont want to make an award for each tournament. I just want to have a general 1st, 2nd and 3rd place trophy... that I can award multiple times... Is this possible?

[Subah]

Great mod , but it is still in beta stage right ??

[Neo_Angelo]

a suggestion for future versions, if a user is awarded the same award more than once it'll show the image with (x2) or whatever the number of times that award has been issued to them for,

also maybe a grouping awards feature that catagorizes awards so members can have an awards showcase that has the options to filter out awards by catagory, for example:

Cometition awards
Forums achievements
Arcade Awards

which admins can add and remove catagorys and mass move awards into catagories to fit their style.

[Trek]

Installed, all works, except that there isn't an entry in the user profile.

I checked and the default theme as well as the custom theme are not showing that tab. Any suggestions?

[KenDude]

I just stumbled across this mod and wanted to ask the following - I'm using "Yet Another Award System 3.5 version 2.1.2" and it is running fine on 3.7.3, but I am about to upgrade to VB 3.8.

What do I need to do with this mod to upgrade the version I am currently using or is that not possible with this version?

[Sleaklight]

I have this same question as we run weekly awards, gold, silver, bronze awards and would like to know as well if we can give the award multiple times over to the same user?
Thanks!

[Nadeemjp]

when i give the award to some users, the following error occurs:


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


this is in addition to the error occuring when i enable the award list to be displayed in the member list.

these two errors have been haunting me like forever.
mod developers, please do something about it:(
i have been having this error since 3.7.3 and now i am on 3.8 and still i get this error:(

i dont wanna get rid of this incredible modification:(

please help

[muslimmomscafe]

Hello,

Where can i find award images and icons??
thanks

[Neo_Angelo]

I have this same question as we run weekly awards, gold, silver, bronze awards and would like to know as well if we can give the award multiple times over to the same user?
Thanks!

To upgrade all you do is re-upload this new version and overwrite the old version and it should be fine, the only differenc between the versions are this one add a few features.

so upgrading from older versions is possible.

[KenDude]

Is this modification even supported? THe developer has not been online since December so I am wondering which is the right upgrade for what I have?

[kavehch]

YaAS 3.8.2 Arabic

[jimbles]

Lol, I wanted vbulletin for a few reasons! This award plugin was one of them :P Love it

[crhardison]

love it! this is one of the few must-have mods that we used on grownupgamers.com. Great way to give custom awards for users who win leages or game nights or whatever... PURE GENIOUS! kudos to the authors!

[TandyServices]

I need some help i have no idea how to install this, could someone please give me a step by step instruction on how to install this please.

Download the zipfile of the mod. Upload all that is in the upload folder to the right ftp folders, as the are called. Everything in the "Images" folder goes to your images folder and so on. Then the three files that aren't in a specific folder go to your root.
Edit the templates as descibed in the "Member List Template Edit" text file. Then upload the xml. (Admin Cp --> Plugins and products - Manage products and at the bottom add/import product). That's it.

[stickskills]

I would love to re-install this if we could get point values associated with the mod.

[jmurrayhead]

We give monthly awards (member of the month-type awards). Something useful would be an option to set an expiration date on award requests. Meaning, after a certain date, users wouldn't be allowed to request an award. It should be on per-award basis.

[Mahar]

Okay...I've installed it and everything...I've uploaded everything and I'm not seeing anything to edit or add awards...I went into the Setting in vBulletin Options and I tried to edit the PM and Subject for whenever a user gets an award and it says the phrases could not be found.

[hobbybox]

Can I get some help - I made a backup of my awards tables using the Backup feature in AdminCP - how do I retore the tables now that I upgraded from 3.5 to 3.8?

[DobieGillis?]

Great Mod...works like a charm!

[DobieGillis?]

anyone have any nice award icons they's like to share?

[unicorn2433]

Are there any other awards besides the blue?

[aztecboi2003]

anyone have any nice award icons they's like to share?
I had 3 more but it said they had the wrong file extension :(

[DobieGillis?]

I had 3 more but it said they had the wrong file extension :(

thank you!

[unicorn2433]

nevermind.

[unicorn2433]

Oh and should there be an awards link in the navbar?

[oBEAVISo]

I would just like to give a very big thankyou to DobieGillis for the Kindness and Help he has given me today.It is very much appreciated indeed.

Thankyou Very Much.


I seem to have an issue though and am wondering if someone could help me out please.The Awards are not showing in a persons Postbit.

I came across this by sheer fluke.On one part of our forums when posting there is a drop down option when creating a new post.In this drop down there are 4 options - Postbit article,Postbit Legacy,Postbit Flipped and Postbit Normal.Apart from Postbit Normal and Legacy the awards will display once a post is made.However the postbit seems to revert back to what appears to me to be vbulletin default layout.We want to switch this option off and only have the posts appear as they do under image Postbit Normal with the awards showcase No.1

Postbit normal
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/03/120.jpg
Postbit flipped
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/03/121.jpg

could anyone please advise me on how to go about getting this toi display under postbit normal

Thank you in advance.

[unicorn2433]

Question I was wondering if it is possible to have this mod installed and working two times on my forum.
I already have it installed to hand out awards which is cool. Love this mod.
But I wanted to use it for another purpose too. For another set of awards that are seperate from the first set and will show up seperately in post bit.
So I can have lets say awards Showcase1 and then an awards showcase 2 in seperate spots in postbit and profile.

[donwon]

This is awesome and I would love to use it, but the images, and other files will not upload into my ftp file transfer. Any ideas on why this is?

[MarkFoster]

Problem When I view the profile tabs of awards then everything is fine accept for "Description" there's nothing there at all, it's completely black, I've uninstalled reinstalled upgraded form all the other version and its still there, sounds like template error to me.
Please help!

[Biker_GA]

Oh and should there be an awards link in the navbar?

The program doesn't put any links into the toolbar or elsewhere. What I did is linked to the awards.php page via the postbit_legacy template.

[Biker_GA]

This is awesome and I would love to use it, but the images, and other files will not upload into my ftp file transfer. Any ideas on why this is?

More info please. There aren't very many images with this. I had to dig the originals out of an old backup and then upload.

He's right. I have had this on my "To Try To Fix" list for a while now.
Here are screenshots to illustrate the problem.
Has anyone fixed this already? If so, can you please save us some time and post the proper code for the profile tab?
(If I can figure it out myself, I will come back and post the solution. Now that I know it is not just me having the problem, I will move this to the top of my To Try list.....)

[Mahar]

At least you guys can get it to work....it doesn't even work for me.

Ours works just fine. I didn't add it to the members.php page, but it shows just fine in postbit as well as the user's profile.

I suspect it's an edit error if you're having issues in getting it to display properly. Double, then triple check your installation and template edits. I suspect it's an error within one of your template edits.

Also.. When you gave the award to the individual, did you fill out the "issue reason" on the form?

[hoopsta]

works just fine in 3.8

Most likely an edit error, this mod works great - I'm helping out a friend and we just installed one of mine and this mod - it is working flawlessly on 3.8 and is more updated than my ranks mod so a great addition IMO especially w/ the different display styles in postbit etc.

Make sure you have awards setup and all the files uploaded correctly and like Biker_GA said above check your template edits for accuracy and none of you should be having any problems. I'm currently working on a site but when I get some free time I'll whip up a video... a few of those on the way already.

Just take your time and don't get frustrated so easily ;)

[Sayid]

The problem with this mod is number of queries . It is better to reduce it using datastore or something like this

[trulylowcarb]

When you gave the award to the individual, did you fill out the "issue reason" on the form?
Yes, both issue reason and description show on awards.php. Guess it's not out of the question we both made the same mistake. Could be a conflicting mod, too. Or in my case, something left over from the very old version I thought I'd wiped out when I went to 3.5. Howell. Try try again! :)

[Biker_GA]

I had some remnants of an old modification hanging around the forums long after I thought I'd removed it. Ended up blowing off the entire vBulletin installation and reloaded from scratch instead of going through each template and removing the offending code.

[trulylowcarb]

Well darn. I thought I had my problem figured out when I found this reference to hacknho in the xml file for awards showcase, but it actually came from the current package I downloaded, so I am partially stumped, still.

</template>



{blush} I do see now that I previously edited my userward_bits template to remove the description entirely, since it persisted in showing up directly under the issue reason in the profile instead of off to the right in the next row, after my initial installation. I had forgotten all about doing it, truthfully, until I went looking today. Guess I didn't want to take the time to figure it out properly at the time. So I don't have the same issue as KenFoster after all.
In my best Gilda Radner voice...... "Never mind!" LOL

[Biker_GA]

Don't ya just hate it when CRS kicks in? :D

[expeditionman]

Uploaded files to proper directories, installed the XML file, but I do not see the awards manager.:confused:

[Biker_GA]

You'll need to add a link somewhere on your site to get to awards.php. I put mine in postbit_legacy so users could nominate posts.

[expeditionman]

What I mean is I don't have the Awards System as shown in the above screenshots..........

Yes and no, busy at the moment but I'll see what I can come up with by Sat, should be simple but the author has updated his code quite a bit.

I used to have this installed, but will wait for it to come out of Beta before I re-install it.

Hi,
"CHANGES/MODIFICATION:
- Tables to add: 3 (award, award_user, award_cat)
- Files to add: 4 (/awards.php, /award_request.php, /admincp/award.php, /admincp/award_cat.php)"

Where and how shall I do that? I'm still novice in this field, please help me

[slapjack2fast]

Works GREAT for me , Thanks very much

[expeditionman]

Finally got it to work. Its a nice feature but wonder how to do away with the box and text in the users post bit and just have the award image

[Biker_GA]

Hi,

Upload the files then add the plugin. You'll also need to create a menu item for awards.php.

[Brakkish]

We've been using this system for a little over 2 weeks now, and our users love it.. to one exception. It's seems the award show under a users avatar in the postbit in no particular order.

Is there a way you (developer) could add the functionality so medals are displayed in the postpit alphabetically? Or better yet, match the category display order?

[realmum]

Anyone know how I can change the content of the PMs sent out when an award is given to a user?

Can't seem to find anything :)

Thanks

[Biker_GA]

Phrase manager. Select Email Body Text and look for the award_pm phrase.

[CypherSTL]

Hey guys.

Sorry I haven't been in this thread in what seems like forever. Had a lot of personal things I have been tending to.

Dont worry, this product hasn't been forgotten. I am working on another update for this product.

If you're using the latest release, YaAS 3.8.2:

Award System -> Award System Settings -> Sorting: Awards Listings

[CypherSTL]

Finally got it to work. Its a nice feature but wonder how to do away with the box and text in the users post bit and just have the award image
In the Award System Settings there are options for display styles in the postbit.

The next thing I will be working on it adding point attributes to the awards since I see a lot of people are requesting it.

As for the monthly awards, if anyone wants to help me figure out how to code that to where they're automatically given, feel free to PM me.

[uprentiss]

[CypherSTL]

can you explain how to upload this p[lease?

I keep getting this error when trying to access the /awards.php page

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare construct_depth_mark() (previously declared in /home/teenvadmin/teenvelocity.com/forum/awards.php:98) in /home/teenvadmin/teenvelocity.com/forum/includes/adminfunctions.php on line 1825

[Biker_GA]

Boo-boo #1. You do not upload the product via Download/Upload products. You import the xml file using the link at the bottom of the Manage Products Page.

[Biker_GA]

Have you uninstalled the mod, reinstalled and triple checked your installation?

[Ascension]

Installed. tyvm

[zefyx]

When I enable Award Showcase in Member's List, it never shows & under Username: I see this

Warning: mysql_fetch_array(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in [path]/awards_memberlist.php on line 14

Any ideas?

[JohnChapman]

We use this to nominate folks for outstanding posts on our site. What I'd like to see is the ability to nominate a post (I put the link to awards.php in the pull down menu in postbit_legacy) and have it snag the URL of the post as part of the message that's sent with the nomination. Doable?

I was actually searching for a way to allow forum members to nominate other users and saw your post; have you figured out a way to do that?

[Biker_GA]

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.

[Biker_GA]

I was actually searching for a way to allow forum members to nominate other users and saw your post; have you figured out a way to do that?

Yeah.. I tell my users to just include the link to the post in their nomination. LOL

It would be great if this could be modified to include that option as part of the nomination process. Adding the link to the drop down in postbit is easy. However, my expertise in figuring out how to have it snag the URL is pretty, ummmm, low? **chuckle**

[Karnal Sinn]

I'm having a slight issue with this mod. I'm not sure when it happened as there were no errors or anything, but when someone tries to access the awards request page, it comes up as a blank page. Everything was working fine before

[Biker_GA]

Have you double checked the permissions for that user group?

[Karnal Sinn]

Yep. As stated it was working fine, then out of the blue the award.php page just comes up blank. I'm not sure when it started doing that, as it has been weeks since someone last requested an award.

[Biker_GA]

Have you made any changes from the time the mod was working and now? Perhaps a change you made affected this mod? I would uninstall, then reinstall the mod and see if that fixes your issue.

[jellykelly]

How do the users request the awards? Forgive me for the silly question. I can't seem to find it. I found how to set it up, but where do you get the link to give them. I've seen it on other sites. I just can't seem to get it set. Thank you.

[uprentiss]

i still cant get it to even show up in admin cp

[Biker_GA]

Did you install it properly? Please detail the steps you took to install the product.

[supersy]

Thanx > I'll test it very soon

any way looks very good job

[Brakkish]

Is there a way to widen the description column? If you tell me where to find the code, I'll change it.

As you can see here: http://www.hammerfistclan.com/forum/awards.php it would look much better if the column was widened.

Thanks.

[HolyKiller]

any info how it works on vBull v.3.8.2 ?

Thanks

[Biker_GA]

Works just fine.

[Cindyl10]

I've installed this and just love it, but I am having some problems which I'm sure is probably because I'm such a newbie at all of this. I would appreciate any basic (very basic) help anyone could give me.

1. I don't understand how my members can request an award, either for themselves or others. I've searched everywhere on my board and cannot find a a link or button or anything that would give them this ability. From what I've seen, the only way they can even know it exits is if they happen to see an award given to someone else in their postbit. But even if they do, there's still no way for them to request one for themselves or anyone else.

I have made a forum for Award requests and put the forum ID into the awards system settings; so there is a forum available, but how do the members post to it? (It's in the admin section of my board so only the staff can see it just as the forums for post reports and infractions are.

2. Perhaps I misunderstood, but isn't there supposed to be another page or module that you can add to your home page that shows all the members that have awards or something like that? That's what I thought this meant:

Front page
- Display awards list in with: Award Name, Description, Icon, Image, and Members who get each award.

I was actually searching for a way to allow forum members to nominate other users and saw your post; have you figured out a way to do that?

This is what I'd like to know as well!

Yeah.. I tell my users to just include the link to the post in their nomination. LOL

It would be great if this could be modified to include that option as part of the nomination process. Adding the link to the drop down in postbit is easy. However, my expertise in figuring out how to have it snag the URL is pretty, ummmm, low? **chuckle**

I know I must be missing something because I don't understand what link you mean that they should include in their nomination, nor do I understand how a member can nominate themselves or someone else....

If someone could tell me where in the world to find this "link", I too would like to add it to the drop down menu...but first I need to know where the link is or is supposed to be to start with lol

Please, could someone help me? Remember, I'm VERY new at this and need really basic one step at a time directions lol

[Elenna]

Cindy - I'll see if I can help. :)

1) If I'm understanding correctly, you made a new forum for the awards requests, and you have the permissions set so that it is for your admin team. I believe that any posts that go in there from people requesting awards will be moderated - meaning that they will need to be approved (by a moderator of that form, or a SuperAdmin) before they are visible to other admin members.

2) Go to www.YourSite.com/awards.php (change the YourSite.com to your web site)

That page should let you view who has received an award, and (if enabled) it should have a "Request" link for each award.

[Cindyl10]

Yes and no, none of my regular members can see into that forum, only the staff can. The posts therefore don't need to be moderated since we're the only ones that can see them.

The point is though that none of my members have a link or button or anything anywhere to click on that would cause a thread to be posted in that awards request forum....

I went to:

http://www.fresh-hope.com/awards.php

like you said though and I'll I get is a 404 error:

Not Found

The requested URL /awards.php was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Thank you for trying to help though as I had no idea there was supposed to be a page there... If it helps, my home page is:

http://www.fresh-hope.com/

and the page to my board is here:

http://www.fresh-hope.com/forums/index.php

Could I have perhaps missed a step in the settings or install?

Edited to add: I found the page! I just had to add forums to the address! Thanks!!!!

http://www.fresh-hope.com/forums/awards.php

[Elenna]

Glad you found the file! :) Sorry, I should have checked to see if you had your forums installed in a different place than your normal home page.

As far as the admin forum thing, I'm not sure that you have a choice. From what I've seen with other add-ons, if something forces a post to be made in a forum that they usually wouldn't be able to post in (like this would do), it automatically is put in "moderated" status. If that's okay with you, then I don't think you need to set anything else up, but you (or a moderator of that forum) would need to check and approve those posts/threads. If you find that annoying, you could more or make that "requesting" forum under a section that your members usually have permission to post in.

Do you know where to go to add in that Awards link, so your members can use it?

[Biker_GA]

What you do is add a link to your postbit or postbit legacy pull down menu. Add a link that points to the awards.php file.

If you're using it as a "Post of the Month" nomination, your users will have to include the URL of the post they're attempting to nominate.

Here's the code I use:

<!-----Post of the Month----->
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="awards.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[award]</phrase></a></td></tr>
<!-----End Post of the Month----->

Thanks Elenna! No, I don't know where to go to add it, I'm very new at this and just feeling my way around basically, usually scared to death I'm going to break something lol Could you explain where I need to go to do this? I really appreciate your help!

<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="awards.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[award]</phrase></a></td></tr>
<!-----End Post of the Month----->

I don't have a post of the month, at least not yet, but have several different general awards. I would like to find a way for a member to click on a link to request an award for someone that would show me which of that members posts they were referring to, if you know what I mean. Probably very similar to your post of the month award. So could I still use that code only changing the words to say "request award" or something like that? thank you for your help!

[Biker_GA]

When you create the phrase, you can name it anything you want. The code I provided above just pulls the text from the phrase for the link. :)

Unfortunately, you'll have to provide instructions to your users to include the URL of the post they wish to nominate on your site. Other than that, including the link in the postbit works very well.

[Cindyl10]

oh ok, so if I use that code you gave me, just changing it to say something like "Request Award" then when people click on that persons username on one of their posts, it will generate a new thread requestiing an award for that person? And the person posting it can simply include the url to the post they think should get the award?

I'm sorry for repeating things like this, but I need to make sure I really do understand what you're saying. I've learned the hard way that often what I think someone is saying isn't the case at all lol

Also, could you please tell me how/where I go to insert that code you gave me? Again I apologize for needing so much direction here... I really do appreciate your help!

[Biker_GA]

In your postbit or postbit_legacy template find:

<if condition="$show['search']">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=finduser&amp;u=$post[userid]" rel="nofollow"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[find_more_posts_by_x]</phrase></a></td></tr>
</if>

After that insert:

<!-----Post of the Month----->
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="awards.php?$session[sessionurl]">$vbphrase[award]</phrase></a></td></tr>
<!-----End Post of the Month----->

In Phrase Manager, create a new phrase called award. Associate the plugin with the award and insert the text you wish to appear when the phrase is called (such as "Request Award").

That's all there is to it. Just make sure your users know to insert the URL of the post they want to reference when submitting the award request. :)

[Elenna]

If you only use one language, it might be simpler for you to avoid making a new Phrase, and just enter in the text you want it to say.

Using Biker_GA's code (Hi from MO!), here are the steps to do that (this is assuming that you do not have the Template Modification System installed). When/if you upgrade you will NEED to re-do these steps, since upgrading usually removes changes like this (hence the very popular Template Modification System).

1) In your AdminCP, click the + next to the Styles and Templates, and then click Style Manager. For the Style you are using (if you use more than one, you'll need to do this for each style), click the drop-down and choose Edit Templates.

2) You will see a long list of templates and template categories. Scroll down to "Postbit Templates" and double click on that line (there are two possible Postbit options).

3) You are using the normal Postbit (name on top of the post), rather than the Legacy one (postbit_legacy, which displays the name on the left side). So double-click on "postbit".

4) You will see a large block of code. Take care when editing. ;) I recommend immediately choosing the "Save in Template History" option and giving a name. That way, if you mess something up, you can revert back! Anyway, in that box, do a search for:

<if condition="$show['search']">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=finduser&amp;u=$post[userid]" rel="nofollow"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[find_more_posts_by_x]</phrase></a></td></tr>
</if>There is that nifty "find" box at the bottom, or you can use your browser's normal search function. You might want to search for "find_more_posts_by_x" for ease of typing!

When you find that code, make a few new lines under it, and add this code there:

<!-----Request Award----->
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="awards.php?$session[sessionurl]">Request Award for $post[username]</phrase></a></td></tr>
<!-----Request Award----->Just to make sure, the code should now look like:
<if condition="$show['search']">
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=finduser&amp;u=$post[userid]" rel="nofollow"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[find_more_posts_by_x]</phrase></a></td></tr>
</if>


<!-----Request Award----->
<tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="awards.php?$session[sessionurl]">Request Award for $post[username]</phrase></a></td></tr>
<!-----Request Award----->
Click Save and go check out a post (you might need to refresh in your browser - F5).

If you only use one language, it might be simpler for you to avoid making a new Phrase, and just enter in the text you want it to say.

Using Biker_GA's code (Hi from MO!), here are the steps to do that (this is assuming that you do not have the Template Modification System installed).

Thank you Elenna! Yes, I only use one language!

[Biker_GA]

Thank you so much! May I ask yet one more question? How to I "associate the plugin with the award?"

When creating a new phrase, one of your options (from a pull down menu) will be which plugin to associate the phrase with.

[Cindyl10]

:o oh ok, lol, thanks so much!

[Brakkish]

Is there a way to widen the description column? If you tell me where to find the code, I'll change it.

As you can see here: http://www.hammerfistclan.com/forum/awards.php it would look much better if the column was widened.

Thanks.

I think this got overlooked.

[Elenna]

There is a "Yet Another Awards System" category in the Template editor. I think the Showcase one might be the one you're looking for?

[sbsforum.us]

Installed and using!

This is a great mod, the only thing that I wish was included was some sort of triggering!

Thanks again.

[Elenna]

SBS, do you mean some sort of auto-award, like if someone has been registered for 6 months, they automatically get an award?

[RobbieZ]

How do you remove an award from a member ?

[Biker_GA]

Go to AdminCP -> Award System -> Award Manager

(All on left side of screen)

You'll see the option to delete awards there.

[Brakkish]

My third attempt at getting some support. What exactly do I need to do to get your attention? It's a simple question. Is there way to widen the Name/Description column.

If so, please point me to the file that contains the code I need to change.
If not, and there is no way, please ffs let me know. Waiting a month for an answer including a reminder post, is not what I'd call any sort of support.

As you can see here in this awards display, it would look much better if descriptions were not word wrapped after a few words. The column needs to be wider. Have a look: http://www.hammerfistclan.com/forum/awards.php

[RobbieZ]

Go to AdminCP -> Award System -> Award Manager

(All on left side of screen)

You'll see the option to delete awards there.

Thats how to delete the award not remove it from a member

As it states in the mod

+ Remove awards from members

[Biker_GA]

Where the actual award is listed WITH the member name, there is an option to delete. **banging head on desk**

But when i press delete i get this screen.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2009/05/38.png

This deletes the actual categroy!

[Biker_GA]

Select "Give Award to User". At bottom of the screen you will see a list of those who have received the award, along with the option to remove.

[RobbieZ]

Thank you good sir :D

[PirateTinman]

Is there any way to get this mod to be displayed to the left of the Join Date and Post, in the user information field?
----------------------------------------------------------------------- like right above threre ^
I would make the page look allot slimer instead of having it under all the information.
I am sure it is possible, but I have no idea on how to move it to that location, I guess I would need to replace some code, if anyone knows how to do this I would be very greatfull.

Thanks!

[Biker_GA]

Just move the code in your postbit template to the location where you want the award to appear.

[PirateTinman]

Thanks for the response, but I did not get allot closer, would you mind tell me what file I need to edit, one of the YAAS postbits or one of the one for my forum style, havent done allot of modifying, and what code am I supposed to move?

[HolyKiller]

Fine mod, but i get one Warning if i giving avard to some user.

I did state which template to edit. Postbit

Find the snippet of code that places the award into the template, and move it to the location where you want it to appear in the template.

You've made an error somewhere during the installation. Triple check your installation and edits.

[fourat]

hi
when i put Userid for Congratulation PM ... the PM sent to user but the sender is number of the id not the name !!
when i put the id no. 1 its name is "fourat" the pm's sender name shown in the private messeges is "1" .. not "fourat"
when members try to replay this messege the forum say:
The following errors occurred with your submission
The following users were not found: 1

how i fix this problem ?

[muslimmomscafe]

Hello,

I gave a user an award, and it says on the "Users that already received award" her username but it wont show in her postbit. Why is that? I have given awards to other members and theirs did show on the postbit.

thanks

The problem is in the mod source. The author "hardcoded" usage of (now deprecated, but that's not the point) mysql_insert_id(). But vB can use both mysql and mysqli API. And when you switch vB to new mysqli API, the problem appears:

mysql_insert_id() is called without parameters, so it's supposed to take last opened mysql connection (opened from "old" mysql api)
but there is no mysql connection, all connetions were opened by mysqli api
"no worries!", says php, "we make new connections", so it tooks db credentials from php.ini and tries to make new connection
but credentials in php.ini are usually empty, therefore the connection fails and mysql_insert_id() fails with it


Solution? I don't want to be rude, but hardcoding 1 api when vB is capable of running of 2 different APIs isn't the cleanest way. The cleanest way would be to use vB's build-in class and call some *insert_id() wrapped (if exists) or to dig the mysql(i) link object from vB's classes and use it directly in consideration of selected mysql API in vB conf. Or perhaps something better :) There are always many solutions to those kinds of problems.

But it's nice mod, anyway :)

You create the award. Perhaps you mean medals? If so, I posted a zip file elsewhere in this thread that contains extras. Or you can make your own.

When a member request an award they get this error

There's some error when sending your award request. Please contact site's administrator for assistant.

I've had this installed for awhile now. If I was just to install everything over again (overwrite) would I lose all the awards i've giving out to ppl?

And yes I have the settings set to yes in their user groups

[abhimation]

It doesnt show the settings tab in the left side of my AdminCP... :(

[abhimation]

Nevamind... i imported the xml again and it works fine now.

Thnx for the Mod...

Please give the error message and what page you were on when it gave you the message (or what link you clicked on ).

[KrisCarter05]

Okay... I've been looking for over an hour now... I MUST be missing it.

I can't find the "Award System" to make up the awards.

I'm not even sure where the "AdminCP" is... I'm in my control panel... but the only place I see anything with Award System is under vBulletin Options.

What am I missing??

Thanks for your help in advance!!!

[tjhanes]

download the zip...
unzip..
upload the contents of the "upload" folder to your forum, it will place the appropriate files in the correct places..
now from the Admin Control Panel > Plugins & Products > Manage Products > Add/Import Product and browse to the product-yet_another_award_system-3.8.2.xml file..

If you're seeing vBulletin Options, you're in AdminCP. ;)

awards.php is the file that allows you to request an award. You should also see a catergory called "Awards System" on the left side of the screen in AdminCP. This allows you to create awards that can be requested.

[pengrus]

I've rated this mod as EXCELLENT.

May I make a suggestion?
Currently, if you award the same medal to the same user multiple times, it will display the medal images multiple times. Is it possible to make it to display the medal only once, and under that medal, you can state awarded x number of times, and list the award reason each time...

Something like this on the thread display file and the user profile page:
http://www.photozo.com/forum/showpost.php?p=112570&postcount=7

[ColorsDeluxe]

I have a question about this mod.
Could this mod award a medal automatically, when a user is registered on the board, for 1 year?

[Trek]

I have a question about this mod.

I just installed this, pretty nice. Could use an update, but runs fine.

However, it doesn't do what you're asking. I'm sure it could be made to do that though.

[Trek]

This was posted a while ago, but others (I did), might have the same question.

You have to do a search for the phrase you want to edit. The links in the control panel don't work. So open the Phrases and languages section, put in some matching text and search. It'll return what you want to change, then click edit.

[pmflav1]

Just like to say firstly, this is a great script, and something we will definaely use.
Though i am having an issues with our awards page.
If someone can point me in the right direction to fix this.
Using latest version of VB and Awards 3.8.2

[mabersoft]

Hay great mod. i am thinking of using it. but what does "Re-usable Code" mean?

Does it mean:
1. I can change the name of the mod and then make it my own. I.E. "118 Awards System"
2. I don't have to put credits/links to you "The Maker/Developer".

Can some one explain it to me please?

1. No. and 2. No.

You can not take this modification and claim it's yours when it isn't. To even think you could do so is just plain wrong.

What you CAN do is use snippets of the code to develop your own modification.

[mabersoft]

are. i see. so what "statement" = "You can edit this mod & redistribute as you own" but you must add a link or something saying "Source from ==="

or is there not one for this.

[Angry_Sun]

I installed the award mod. It's pretty awesome! Only problems I am having are 2 things:

1- Why is it showing 2 of each award in my posts? Take a look: Link (http://nintendoland.com/forum/showpost.php?p=34163&postcount=2)

2- Can I remove the "My Awards" from the profile area? Or at least move it to the end?

[Biker_GA]

If you're showing two awards in the postbit, check the postbit template and make sure the edit was done exactly as shown.

No need to show awards in the profile area at all. Only place I show 'em on my site is in the postbit.

[Angry_Sun]

Well could you tell me how to move the profile "Awards" tab to the very end?

[Biker_GA]

It's all in the placement within the template. Find where the code for the last tab ends, then place the awards code after that.

[Angry_Sun]

I just want to know which template...

[trotskid]

Hi. It´s possible hide or remove the "Recipient username" box in the award request form?

When "Recipient username" box is blank doesn´t allow you to complete the form.

PS: very useful addon. Thanks.

[Angry_Sun]

Can I get some support here? I like this mod, but if I can't get 2 little questions asked, I will be forced to uninstall it.

1. Which template can I edit to set the "My Awards" profile tab so it's not the first one, maybe like the 3rd or 4th.

2. Where are the permissions to request awards? Right now only admins can do it. And when I [an admin] go to do it, I fill out the forum, and it says error, please contact an admin.

So, at least help me answer #1, please.

[Biker_GA]

1. memberinfo_block_myawards (It wasn't THAT difficult to find.)
2. Have you checked your permissions via Usergroups?

[Biker_GA]

Hi. It?s possible hide or remove the "Recipient username" box in the award request form?

[flasher33]

Hi there
thanx for this grate hack.
I was wondering if it is possible to add the award manually in the post bit ??
I have a postbit_legacy layout like this:
1st post is horizontal and the rest are vertical and it shows like this

http://www.hailzone.net/upload/uploads/images/hail-a81351a76f.jpg (http://www.hailzone.net/upload/uploads/images/hail-a81351a76f.jpg)

as you see it made a large gap if put manually it will show only in the in the postbit reply area.

[Deege]

All is fine except one thing, when I go to awards.php

I get a blank page with this:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare construct_depth_mark() (previously declared in MYURL/board/awards.php:98) in MYURL/board/includes/adminfunctions.php on line 1832

anyone know how to fix this :S

[rrudeboy]

my forum was hacked... and i can't for the life of me remember where i made a change so the shield is next to the username.

tks.

[Biker_GA]

postibt or postbit_legacy?

postbit_legacy is what i am using..

[Biker_GA]

That's where you make the change then.

i understand that :} but so far i can not locate it....

What? The template?

AdminCP -> Styles and Templates -> Style Manager

Edit the template for each style that you use.

i know where the template is :}

Hello,

I have a problem regarding this plugin. When I have a large amount of awards, all of them are shown in one page, which takes time to download the page. Is there any option to let some amount of awards in one page and the other in the next pages ?

The page I mean is this:
http://localhost/vb/awards.php


Thanks ..

[emerchan]

Hi there, I installed it as I should (that means uploaded and installed the script and uploaded the upload-folder...)

But no "Award manager" in my admin list, why's that?
I use VB 3.8.2, maybe some other mod is in the way? Any know mods that ++++s with this?

Thanks for any answer : )

[rrudeboy]

well... i've looked hig & low, and at one point before the hack i found it but so far i can not find it in postbit_legacy, postbit and/or postbit _first (last one adds a top 10 poster list to the main forum index)

[rrudeboy]

how can i not find the award reference in any of the postbit's... this is wild.

[Biker_GA]

I'll dig around. I found the template where the phrase is defined/called, but you're correct, it's not in the postbit template. I suspect it's a .php file and it's called to be placed at the hook at the end of the postbit template.

[rrudeboy]

i'm baffled (especially since i got it working a while back :(

[Jah-Hools]

Can this be applied to just one forum?

[rrudeboy]

I'll dig around. I found the template where the phrase is defined/called, but you're correct, it's not in the postbit template. I suspect it's a .php file and it's called to be placed at the hook at the end of the postbit template.

did you find anything out ?

[Mahar]

Is there anyway to make awards auto issued once a members usergroup is changed to Mod, S Mod, Admin or by reaching a certain amount of posts, having been joined for set amount of years etc.

After a while manually adding these awards is tiresome

Style manager -> <Your Style> -> Edit Templates -> Click on the "<< >>" for expand all groups > Edit awards_category

Add width for first column and edit width for second column for example like this:

For the expand first column FIND:
<td class="thead" nowrap="nowrap">$vbphrase[award_name] / $vbphrase[award_description]</td>

and add WIDTH value (or just replace row with this one):
<td class="thead" nowrap="nowrap" width="20%">$vbphrase[award_name] / $vbphrase[award_description]</td>


and for width correction FIND:
<td class="thead" width="100%">$vbphrase[users_with_awards]</td>

and just edit the value to the "100% minus [your first column width]", like this:
<td class="thead" width="80%">$vbphrase[users_with_awards]</td>
(100-20=80 :D )

OR you can use fixed values, it works tooo :p

[genesisdnb]

First of all I'd like to say this is a GREAT product! Now I know there is a way to make the awards automated using Cron Jobs and Scheduled Tasks but I haven't got a clue, does anyone have any idea? more importantly if anyone can do this for me I don't mind paying them!

[vfktunes]

This has probably been asked, but is there a way to give an award to user id #'s 1-100?

Or to a certain usergroup?

[Biker_GA]

I've been getting the same error but only since I installed "Pedro!'s Post Report Manager 0.92".

It's obviously a conflict with the other add on. You'll have to decide which one to keep.
