Yet Another Awards System

[CypherSTL]

So who handles the support with this mod in this thread?
I do.

I'm getting close to releasing a new version. ANY bug reports need to get sent to yaas-bugs@kd0igo.com

Please make sure you specify what version of the mod you have, (VB3 or VB4). All emails get added to Redmine for easier bug tracking. Redmine is MUCH easier than trying to read though 60+ pages.

Thank you for your reply, I have emailed you a couple of days ago. But as it is more of a case of lack of information and needed assistance then bugs I'm not sure that the mail is a bug report.

But I wonder does that mean I will get a reply and the help I need through email or will you post it here or will you only make a note about it in you bug log?

Resolved the error by make the tables my self but it seems the installer isnt willing to create the tables on a 4.1.10 install (clean)

i now have this issue:
is Deprecated: Assigning the return value of new by reference is deprecated in C:\xampp\htdocs\vbulletin\awards.php on line 47 (but that is a php issue since i use a higher version on my local host)

[squidsk]

To resolve the deprecation error go to line 47 in awards.php and delete the & from before the equals sign.

CypherSTL, what an absolute star you are - this mod could have so much potential but has been lying at the side of the road for quite some time now.

What we're looking for is an awards system where you can add and remove customised awards and they'll appear below a users signature which we could limit to a set amount and the user could prioritise their awards through their profile. Will the new mod you're releasing have this capability or are you keeping it under your hat until release?

Thanks in advance.

[mIQe]

I still haven't seen anywhere an explanation on how to use the auto reward feature. Does anyone know how to use it?

Already does this.

Global ordering is what is used now, user specific ordering is not possible.

[Cledus James]

Wondering if I can see some support for this mod. I've used this mod since vb3 and it's one of the best things I've ever added to my forums.

Here's my problem. In my users profiles the My Awards tab is not showing up. It's there and clickable but it's invisiable. If you need an example of what I'm talking about go here:

http://www.suicide-kings.net/forums/member.php?1-Cledus

Right next to the My Ranks tab you can see the area for the awards tab is clickable but not visiable.

Also, is there any way to rename that tab to something else besides My Awards?

Any help to fix the problem would be greatly appreciated.

[squidsk]

Follow the instructions at: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2189701#post2189701

[mIQe]

If those above instructions don't work, which they didn't for me.
Then restore the code as it originally was and use this instead.

if ($selected_tab == 'myawards')
{
$template_hook['profile_tabs_last'] .= '<dd class="userprof_module"><a id="myawards-tab" href="'.$vbulletin->input->fetch_relpath().'#myawards" onclick="return tabViewPicker(this);">Awards</a></dd>';
}
else
{
$template_hook['profile_tabs_last'] .= '<dd class="userprof_moduleinactive"><a id="
myawards-tab" href="'.$vbulletin->input->fetch_relpath().'#myawards" onclick="return tabViewPicker(this);">Awards</a></dd>';
}



Go to the Admin Control Panel >> Languages & Phrases >> Search In Phrases
Type in: My Awards
In the Search For Text box and press enter or click the button Find.
Then click the button that says Edit


Now to MY question, about how to get the award automation to work, seems like no one is able to answer. Makes me want to rate this a terrible mod.

[ShadyUS]

Would this work on 4.0.1?

[TombstoneWarrior]

can someone explain a bi better how to install this mod or where to find the directions for installing this mod please.

[mIQe]

I hope this will help

Unzip the archive and then.

Upload everything in the /upload directory to your forum root.

Then Import yet_another_award_system_automation.xml from your admin control panel.

On my forum there is something happening with the awards list on the postbit. I want them in a straight line but there is 2 in one row then 1 under it so it is like this:
(member info)
Award 1, Award 2,
Award 3

Is there any way I can fix that?

[mIQe]

Do you have your vBulletin installation directly under the my public_html folder? You don't have a folder you installed it in to? If not then yes, you should select all files and folders and drag them to your my public_html folder. As you already should have a admincp folder there after installing vBulletin, you should have no problems dragging the files and folders to my public_html folder, as it will move the files in to those folders.

I'm pretty sure the automation is not retroactive so if someone has already been a member of your site for X days they will not get the award just because you activate it. The query likely checks if they've been a member exactly X days and then gives an award.

[Bluefin221]

Yes, although it doesn't function the way you want it to.

Thanks for replying. Are you sure about it not being retroactive?
I surely have to check the registration date for a member not how long the award has been active.

Because if it isn't, then this mod stinks even more then their support does.

Pretty sure, because it would make the code and the queries more complex if it was applying awards retroactively. I'm guessing that the automation is run through a cron job which runs every X period of time. If you want it to run retroactively then you're running an extra query for every single user in the database for every single award that is being automatically awarded. The overhead for that would not be something I'd want on my site.

As for complaining about the support, you do realize that whatever support you're getting, and I believe that just means patches and stuff, you aren't paying a cent for, so complaining that you aren't getting enough for free is . . . uncalled for at best.

Well I guess you and I read different things in to the term support. I read it as this: If a product is supported the customers can come with what ever problems they have with the product and get the help they need to fix the problem. It doesn't matter if it is free or not. What matters is that it is supported or not.

This product is supposed to be supported.

If it does mean what you say that it is just patches and such, then an other word then supported should be used. Such as In Active Development or some thing along those lines. Using supported is misleading in that case.

As for the award automation, it does not work, at all. I've tested with a 1 day membership award and it isn't awarded either. If it is some setting I've not done right or not, I have no idea as the documentation on how to use the product is not 100% on how to set it up. Nor have I gotten support here to sort it out.

As for rewarding automated awards retroactively, if it was a button you could click to start a process to check each member's amount of days as a member once, then it wouldn't be a huge amount of queries that runs all the time. Plus those that wouldn't like to use that function could choose not to. But since it's not working at all this is all just wishful thinking.

The difference we have is my expectations for support differ vastly if I'm paying for it as opposed to getting it for free from someone who likely has a full time job and does this for fun in whatever spare time he or she has. At work the servers are on a 4 hour turn around, and I'd be pissed if I didn't get service within that 4 hour window without a damn good reason, but my company pays a premium for that service. Here where I pay nothing for the service my expectations are much lower.

Personally we don't use it on our site, so I'm limited in what I can do since I've never played around with it.

Why have a button, retroactive awards only need to be applied once, and its easy enough to craft an SQL query that will give the award to those that should have it, then there's no extra messy bits lying around your install.

My expectations for support differs as well, just as yours do. How ever waiting weeks for help is not what I call support. If I paid for a product I expect 24 hour support and that they can solve the problems in a day. For a free product like this, I expect that something should have happened in 3 weeks time.

Personally we don't use it on our site, so I'm limited in what I can do since I've never played around with it.

I understand. Well I have tried to follow the very limited instructions and I can say that it does not work. So either I did something from due to bad instructions or the product is faulty.

You say that as if I would have any idea what SQL is. I don't. I'm totally illiterate when it comes to stuff like that. Thus in need of support when it doesn't work.

So far, the forum logo on the awards page is not in the same place as it is on any other forum pages. - I've been told it might be the skin wrapper, but I don't get why that would be different for this page and not the others. It seems to draw all the info from the same place after all.

The awards that should be atomized aren't automated. - I've tried many different settings, I can't get it to hand out awards. I have no idea if it is retroactive or not.

I have a different take on things as I have written a couple of free programs, and while I do offer support, often it isn't timely due to other constraints and patches can be months in the making even if the bugs are small and easy to fix.

I'd guess this is actually a problem with your skin, as you've been told. The easy way to check it is does the default skin look normal or does it have the same issue on the awards page. If it doesn't its a skin issue, if it does its an issue with the plugin, but on my forum I don't see any problems with the default skin.

[Gamelobby]

I installed this and the award page was all messed up. I deleted the mod and now I cannot re-install it. Any Ideas?

vB - 4.1.10

[squidsk]

Yes, there's currently a problem with the uninstaller for the mod not actually removing all tables, so when you try and re-install the mod it fails because the tables its trying to create already exist. The easiest way to fix the issue is to remove the sections of the install code that generate the errors, so if its giving you an error that says table A already exists then go into the install code and remove the entry that adds that table.

[mIQe]

I have a different take on things as I have written a couple of free programs, and while I do offer support, often it isn't timely due to other constraints and patches can be months in the making even if the bugs are small and easy to fix.

Well I've hosted websites with free custom made 3D models mods for games and provided support for that and I would try and be swift about giving it as it then was no longer on my to do list. Not everything I've asked about have been bugs, some have been about how to use the product and that should be fairly fast and easy to answer. Don't you think?

I forget sometimes that not everyone who administers a site necessarily has the technical skills to do the behind the work fixes that are sometimes required.

Well I managed to uninstall this product so I could try and install it again. So I'm not clueless if I get a reasonably understandable description on how to do something. I just can't whip something up on my own.

I've used a default skin and made a few new skins with the Style Generator and the image is aligned wrong using them too...

Will this mod have a patch or upgrade for 4.1.10 or not? if yes will it take long to see it available?

Wouldnt it just be easier to drop the tables themselves?
Instead of modifying the install code.

[squidsk]

Of course it would, except not everyone knows how to drop a table and it usually easier to edit a file than create an sql query, especially as not all the errors are related to tables not being dropped, there are also fields that are causing issues as well if you look back at the thread.

[KGodel]

It would be great if there was a way to have category-specific postbits. Say, awards from Category X,Y,Z display under profile, but from Category A, B, and C display right of signature.

[bremereric]

I had DTO install the Garage Plus software on my forum. It did wipe the Awards Menu out of the Admincp and the Awards screen that you could get to by clicking the Awards tab at the top of the Forum. I un-installed it and then went into myphpamin and dropped the tables because they remained. I would like to re-install it but I am afraid it would mess up my garage software. Any ideas.

Vbulletin 4.1.10 and newest version of YaaS awards and Automation.

I've seen the question asked a few times and it seems like several members have this difficulty but I couldn't find an answer to the problem yet.

No PM or Email is sent out when an award is given and if you attempt to edit the PM or Email content in the AdminCP you get the error "No Phrases Matched Your Query". If you hover over the links in the AdminCP it looks like the phrase is "award_pm" but I can't locate that phrase in the phrase manager. Am I doing something incorrectly? Fantastic MOD,Thank you for any assistance.

This is virtually the same mod (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=265893), but has a little better support. You might try running that one in stead.

Cypher please check your bug reports mail and add all the reported bugs to redmine. We did a few tests on latest vb4 and there are just a couple of things that need to be fixed, one is the error upon installation that was already reported here and solution is already known too.
The other error is display in user profile which is a little messed up.

We have updated our forum from vb3 to vb4 5 months ago and we're still waiting for a working latest vb4 version so we can port the old database and include the system to our forum.

I hope it's done soon..if not we'll lose 1 year of awards :S

After completing the above the awards plugin works fine, at least as long as you don't use recommend or request awards.

does anyone know why i can't see the Award Menu in the left panel of Admin CP??

To fix the display problem on the user profiles you need to do the following:

Yes, in admincp go the awards settings page and change the maximum number of awards to be displayed.

[Mobo]

My profile pages show at least 26 medals.

There is not a setting that says it controls the diplay on the profile tab... is it the same setting that controls the postbit display? Might need to clarify that in the description.

Just giving this message and Not what it should be?

[Crotan]

Here's a fix that fixes both issues:

1) Disable/delete the YAAS - Profile Tab Plugin that is attached to the member_complete hook (in other words my previous fix for problem 1 is not required anymore). If this isn't done you will get two Awards tabs on profile pages.

2) Make the following edits (all text in blue needs to be added) to the YAAS in Member Profile - Profile plugin that is attached to the member_build_blocks_start hook:


$blocklist['myawards'] = array(
'class' => 'MyAwards',
'title' => $vbphrase['awards'],
'options' => array(
'pagenumber' => $vbulletin->GPC['pagenumber']
),
'hook_location' => 'profile_tabs_last',
'wrap' => false
);


I don't think this is a proper fix. Disabling YAAS - Profile Tab Plugin will remove the working tab.

Your addition to YAAS in Member Profile - Profile just makes the phantom tab that appears in the wrong spot now have the awards text. Really I would like to remove this phantom tab and leave the working one alone.

I fixed the inactive tab and active tab status by adding the missing dd class "<dd class="userprof_moduleinactive">" that YAAS - Profile Tab was missing. So I have mine working on inactive and active status, just want to get rid of the phantom tab.

Anyone know how to do that?

[squidsk]

You didn't follow the first step. Disable the indicated plugin and it will remove the phantom tab. The phantom tab, and that plugin, is a remnant of the old way that vb4 dealt with tabs. This was changed in Vb4.1 but this plugin has not been updated since then.

There's also a third fix, step 1 in post https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2189701&postcount=742, the second and third steps are the same as the ones I'd posted earlier.

You also potentially have other conflicts as you're using a custom style which have other issues that are causing problems. Always test with the vbulletin default style.

Sorry my screen shots weren't reflective of what I was saying.

Deactivating YAAS - Profile Tab doesn't get rid of the phantom tab that was appearing out of place, it gets rid of the tab that I think was working correctly with the proper dd class fix.

By adding 'hook_location' => 'profile_tabs_last' you move the phantom tab that was once appearing out of place up into the proper tab placement.

It looks to be working

[squidsk]

The "phantom tab" is the correct tab, the other one is the bad tab that doesn't work properly.

[Amaury]

The "phantom tab" is the correct tab, the other one is the bad tab that doesn't work properly.

We're still having this problem ourselves. Our owner even updated it with the fixed version, and now, not only is Awards still tabless, with the tab being at the bottom, but we get syntax errors, which I fixed by disabling YAAS.

[squidsk]

If you'd be willing to grant me access I'd be willing to take a look and try and fix it. I've used the fix I mentioned on three separate vb 4.x installs and its worked all three times so I don't see any reason why it shouldn't work unless there's a conflict with another plugin.

[Amaury]

Thank you, Squid, for fixing it.

[santi00]

Hello everyone, I wanted to ask you if you think you could make a retroactive award. For example, if I create a award of the 100th post inserted at the time of creation but there are already users with 100 posts, you can automatically assign the award ?
I try but there isn't nothing to do...the award not display

[squidsk]

No, the awards are not retroactive, you'll need to do a manual insert query on the database to achieve what you're after. I posted a sample query either in this thread or the one for the vb3.8 version of this mod that you could use.

[marccap]

had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

How to fix please?

What version did you uninstall? If you started with a 4.0.2PL1 version, the only error you should get when uninstalling and reinstalling is related to some missing uninstall code for the award_requests table.

That being said, if you run the following sql commands from admincp it should remove any leftover stuff.


show tables
drop table *award*


The first command will list all your tables, then you'll need to use the second command as many times as needed, by replacing the *award* with the name of an award table that was left around by mistake.

I wish I understood what you say on the previous page. I'm nowhere near that advanced on vbulletin. I am a complete novice here. Couldn't I just uninstall the thing from my plugin manager, and then re-install it through the ftp like I'd done the first time?

[BWG22]

Problem Solved. It was the vbSSO plugin.

Unfortunately not, there's an error in the uninstallation code, actually an omission, that prevents the plugin from uninstalling correctly.

First uninstall YAAS from the product manager.

Then to do what I posted on the previous page, in admincp go to Maintenance->Execute SQL Query

When prompted run the following query:
show tables

This will give you the list of all tables in your db, look for the ones that have awards in their name, there should be between one and three of them, most likely three. In my db the tables are called:

award
award_cat
award_requests

The names might be different in your db, especially if your tables have a prefix. Take note of the names, and then run drop table queries, one per table, to remove the tables.

So if I was removing the three tables from my db I'd run the following three queries:
drop table award
drop table award_cat
drop table award_requests

Then I could reinstall YAAS from scratch.

Problem Solved. It was the vbSSO plugin.

You could also try the solution mentioned here (http://www.dragonbyte-tech.com/f65/yaas-4-0-2-conflict-1092/index2.html#post6252).

Let me know if that works.

[Skermefaten]

Can someone explain to me how to use these features?

I've tried toying around with them but haven't had any luck.

The explanations give are pretty straight forward, what about them are you not understanding?

Well I mean, I put in the forum id and the thread id. Perhaps I'm messing up the latter. It's only a matter of those digits you see on the thread's url, correct?

[Kirkus]

Is anyone running this on vBulletin 4.2?

I've been using YAAS for years and am looking at an upgrade from vB 3.8.7 --> 4.2. But I have to be able to keep all the awards that have been given out over the years or my members will mutiny. ;)

There's a few bugs here and there for this mod, and it hasn't been touched by the original author in ages. Beyond the the existing bugs, you shouldn't have any issues. I'd wait to hear from someone using this with 4.2

Though you may be better off going over to https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=265893&highlight=ranks

[Thunderbird8]

Going to the vB4 version from the vB3 one won't harm existing awards. The only issue that I can see on 4.2 is that the Awards tab disappears from the navbar, but with the Navigation Manager, it is easy enough to re-add it.

Its a bug in the program. If you go to admincp and look at the request/recommendations the request has probably been processed.

Agreed squidsk thats what happened when we used to get the same error

We had that issue when we first installed the mod but it lasted about a week before it dissappeared, probably something to do with the settings in the admin panel.
Below is a link to our settings

P.S. next time you have an issue and would like help dont create a user and spam stuff on our awards page. If you had asked we would have helped. It creates unnecessary work for people.

I was fixing various bugs for YaAS so I decided to bundle it up into a new version. This is not official, but as the plugin says re-usable code I can release it for the benefit of the community. These changes should be compatible with all VB 4 versions with one caveat it does not support the new navigation manager from VB 4.2.

The mostly complete list of fixes/changes is:
4.0.3 RELEASE: (06/13/2012)
* Fixed - Various install/uninstall code issues
* Fixed - User profile tab graphical issues
* Fixed - Recommend/request award showing an error message, in certain circumstances, when there's no error
* Fixed - Various links not using properly escaped & (i.e. should be &amp; instead of &)
* Fixed - Code that generated invalid xhtml
* Fixed - Compatibility with other mods (e.g. vbsso)
* Fixed - Setting determining which side of the memberprofile the awards tab should appear on not working
* Ported - Fix from 3.8.4 for admincp for usernames with ' to modcp
* Changed - Style of the awards tab on the user's profile page to better match with the standard tabs
* Changed - Style for award icons and images so they are both vertically and horizontally centered in their row (awards.php & user profile)
* Updated - Version in version phrase


If I messed up anything or there's a bug I didn't catch please let me know and I'll see about fixing it.

EDIT: Re-added the upload with correct XML.

[speedracer68]

Thanks for working on this.

How safe would it be to try this? If for some reason does not work as well as the version I have can I revert without losing anything?

Also, has anyone found a way to auto approve awards? I use them for people to show off what events they have participated in and it would be great if it would run without me having to approve each one.

[Thunderbird8]

What plugins were changed? I've implemented a customization on my board that allows members to determine how their awards are sorted, and I'd prefer to avoid having to reimplement that if possible.

You can fix the issue with the 4.2 navbar by changing $template_hook['navtab_middle'] to $template_hook['navtab_end'] in YAAS - Add Tab to Navbar. The former was deleted in 4.2, but the latter remains, and will work with 4.2 and previous versions.

[squidsk]

EDIT: I've re-uploaded the new version of YaAS. I've also added two more changes to the list of things that were altered which I'd forgot to include when I first posted.

[squidsk]

Thanks for working on this.

It would be pretty safe to try, but reverting would be a bit of a pain, as there's no easy way to revert to a previous version of a plugin. You might be able to just reload the old xml file and have it overwrite the changes from this plugin, but you'd likely need to take a back of the three awards tables, uninstall the 4.0.3 version, reinstall the 4.0.2PL1 version and then restore the backups to your db. The changes I've made do not alter the db in any way so there's no loss of anything if you upgrade.

Also, has anyone found a way to auto approve awards? I use them for people to show off what events they have participated in and it would be great if it would run without me having to approve each one.

I don't think so, but this would allow for easy abuse as then a member could give themselves any award even if they didn't actually meet whatever requirements you have for granting the award.

What plugins were changed? I've implemented a customization on my board that allows members to determine how their awards are sorted, and I'd prefer to avoid having to reimplement that if possible.

One plugin was changed, the YAAS in Member Profile - Profile plugin, and one plugin was removed, the YAAS - Profile Tab plugin. Both these changes were to fix the tab display issue on the member profile pages. I don't think any other plugins were changed. Various templates were also changed, but the merge utility should be able to merge all the changes. There were also some changes made to the php pages.

You can fix the issue with the 4.2 navbar by changing $template_hook['navtab_middle'] to $template_hook['navtab_end'] in YAAS - Add Tab to Navbar. The former was deleted in 4.2, but the latter remains, and will work with 4.2 and previous versions.

Thanks, I'll look into that once I upgrade to 4.2. Not being on 4.2 was the main reason I didn't make sure it was compatible with the navigation menu changes.

[UK CHI3F]

So much going on at present with this mod but my site is re-launching in less than 2 weeks and id really like to solve the background issue on the awards page.
All other mods are fine.

Any advice as to where to look or what code might be wrong would be greatly appreciated.
our site is www.xboxplayers.com

[squidsk]

How are you setting the background image? In other words what did you change and where to get the background image onto your site?

[UK CHI3F]

Hi squidsk

It is additional css in the additional css posted like below
{
background: url(images/f1bkg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
-webkit-background-size: cover; /*for webKit*/
-moz-background-size: cover; /*Mozilla*/
-o-background-size: cover; /*opera*/
background-size: cover; /*generic*/
}

nabbed the code off another site , hoping its not the problem as we love our fixed background

[squidsk]

I'd guess that the awards page isn't loading that additional css for some reason. I'll look into it.

[UK CHI3F]

Have you set the setting for Store CSS Stylesheets as Files? set to yes? If not you can try to edit the headerinclude template and near the end add additonal.css to the list of css files included.

[Glockie]

Hi,
firstly thanks for this great mod!

I am however, having some issues running it on 4.2.0
I don't have the 'Awards Tab' showing on the board only in the users profile page
And It's not showing anywhere the link to recommend an award

So, in short the recommend the award link (navbar) doesn't exist...

I hope someone can help here..
I look forward to hearing from you

Thanks

** EDIT Ignore the vbphrase issue, I've found it.. cheers!
I've also typed ****.example/award ( guess ) which works but the page is terribly messed up, so I'm assuming it's a CSS fault somewhere.. I can manually add the link on the nav, so that's not a problem. Thanks again

[Thunderbird8]

You can add it to the NavBar manually via the Navigation Manager (awards.php is the path). Or if you feel safe doing so, you can make the plugin edit that I mentioned a few posts earlier.

[FTG LIQUID CL]

I cant access the request and recommened awards.It tells me this..

Admin, 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

Any ideas.

Looking at the xml for automation it looks like you didn't install the automation plugin properly, or there was an error with the installation. The reason I say this is the first thing that should be done by the install script is to add that column to the award_user table. You could try changing line 22 so that ADD award_cgroup instead says ADD COLUMN award_cgroup. If the automation plugin is showing up in your product list I'd uninstall it and re-install it. You'll also need to manually delete the award_automation table if you're doing a re-install since the table is not removed during an uninstall.

if you're on 4.2.0 you'll have the manually add the tabs using the Navigation Manager. This mod, like many others hasn't been updated for the navtab changes.

I have several years of awards in my live site's database, which is vBulletin 3.8.7. I'm currently testing an upgrade to 4.2.1 on a dev site. Unfortunately, I uninstalled my old version of YAAS after the upgrade, which dropped my awards tables.

Can I simply export them from my 3.8.7 db and import them into my 4.2.1 database? Or am I asking for trouble?

::

If I don't uninstall my old YAAS and it's corresponding awards tables during my upgrade to 4.2.1, but simply install this newer version over it after the upgrade, will all of my awards still be there. I mean, are the database tables different between the older version of YAAS and this newer version?

[Kirkus]

The answers appear to be yes and yes. ;)

Sorry for mucking up the thread.

[Kybyrian]

How do you remove an award already given to a user? There is no option for it. A user was accidentally given an incorrect award and there is no way to remove it.

[Thunderbird8]

The Give Award to User selection allows removal of awards as well.

it's better to create new thread for your plugins

It isn't a new plugin, is bug fixes for this plugin. I also couldn't release that as my own plugin even if I wanted to since it isn't mine.

[CAG CheechDogg]

Ok let me see if I can explain what is happening here.

I have two issues not big but kind of weird.

If you add the full link (absolute url) to the "Award Image URL" field when adding a new award instead of just the short (relative url) "images/medals/1_month.jpg" version of the url when going to the Award Manager page the awards do not show up in the Award column.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/07/30.jpg

The awards how ever do show up in the Awards page on my forums. If I do use the absolute url the award will show up in the Award Manager page in my backend but when a new thread is posted I get this where I only see the bb code instead of the award.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/07/31.jpg

When I right click to view the image in the Award Manager I get a 403 page not found but the link looks like this

https://www.cagclan.com/community/https://www.cagclan.com/community/images/medals/1month.png

Is there a way to allow absolute urls so that the Award shows up in the Award Manager?

[Thunderbird8]

Seems like some parts assume relative URLs (like ACP/MCP) where the forum path would have to be included (since a relative URL in those areas wouldn't work well), while the Request Award output assumes it is absolute.

I also noticed something looking at a few of the templates for this...most of them still look like they're using the vB3 syntax, instead of the vB4 syntax. While this does work, is it really a good idea?

It is working fine for me besides these 2 little issues. No other problems , I was looking through the awards.php to see if I could fix this but I see nothing so far.

The awards how ever do show up in the Awards page on my forums. If I do use the absolute url the award will show up in the Award Manager page in my backend but when a new thread is posted I get this where I only see the bb code instead of the award.

<snip>

When I right click to view the image in the Award Manager I get a 403 page not found but the link looks like this

https://www.cagclan.com/community/https://www.cagclan.com/community/images/medals/1month.png

Is there a way to allow absolute urls so that the Award shows up in the Award Manager?

I don't see anything in the code that would cause absolute urls to fail. The default medals use absolute url and they display without a problem. As for relative urls not working, its because the [img] tag does not handle relative urls.

[CAG CheechDogg]

Yes they display in the Awards page in the forums but not in my backend. If I use absolute they wont display in my backend but of course show up because the bb code does handle absolute.

But if you use the relative urls then what is the point of creating a thread that does not show the image but instead just the bb code in it?

Do I make sensek, lol...

Thanks for answering back squidsk.

[CAG CheechDogg]

This has to do more with the creation of the award submissions thread than anything else.

I used to run the 3.8 version but had it disabled as I upgraded to 4.xxx. I installed this version but it looks like I need to edit the award.php file as it doesn't show my site's custom navbar.

Please visit and compare to the rest of the site. I have contacted my site builder but I am hoping someone can help me figure it out on my own as he takes awhile to respond.

Because most sites have html disabled in posts, as they should. This means that a post added to the post table can't have html tags or it won't display, so bbcode must be used.

You've likely upgraded to 4.2, which uses a different navigation system. You'll need to manually add the awards tab using the navigation manager in admincp.

The problem isn't adding an awards link to my navbar. I have manually added it already. The problem is on the actual awards.php page IE http://www.thepublicenemy.net/awards.php

My main navbar is screwed up. I'm trying to figure out how to get it like the rest of my site.

[squidsk]

Is it messed up with the default style? I'm asking because that custom style has a tonne of xhtml validation errors, any of which might cause odd behaviour with the appearance of a page.

A couple of things, there's an unofficial patch to YAAS that you do not appear to be using. You can grab it from here (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=2340916#post2340916).

Also you're menu is missing the </li> that corresponds to TPE - Center 2.

I'm not sure that will fix everything, but it will at least start you in the right direction.

Figured it out, its actually what I thought was a vbulletin bug that I mentioned a few pages ago but isn't. If you edit the template AWARDS and just before</head> add {vb:raw headinclude_bottom}. This should fix the issue.

Because most sites have html disabled in posts, as they should. This means that a post added to the post table can't have html tags or it won't display, so bbcode must be used.

Something similar needs to be done for the awards_recommend_form template and awards_request_form

EDIT: I should say everyone of his award templates that are their own page

Specifically in templates
awards_recommend_form
awards_request_form
awards_viewaward

where
$headinclude

</head>

should be
$headinclude
$headinclude_bottom

[squidsk]

No, because the post was created with the assumption that html would not work, so bbcode was used instead. The problem is that the https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/ bbcode does not handle relative links. A fix to the bbcode, no likely to be done, or a fix to the code to generate that post which prepends the site url to relative urls needs to be done. I can likely do the second, but wouldn't count on jelsoft doing the first. They may even have reasons for not doing it, which if I were to guess it would be because it is too difficult to determine what a valid relative url looks like.

[squidsk]

It was vFcoders - Advanced Report System (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=285206).. Which I've disabled.. all seems to be working OK.. not sure why they are interfering with e/o
One of two reasons. First is that you didn't update the awards.php when you updated to the 4.0.3 version I posted. The easy way to check for this is to open awards.php and look at the top it should say 4.0.3 in the version. You can also go to line 99, where the construct_depth_mark function is declared, and ensure the function is wrapped in a if(!function_exists('construct_depth_mark)) conditional statement. The second possible reason is that one of the plugins from vFcoders - Advanced Report System has bad php and is causing that if statement I mention above to not fire properly, which would also cause the error.

If the problem is the first then just re-upload the file, if the problem is the second report it to vFcoders and let them deal with the bad code, or you can enable the plugin and disable the hooks one at a time until you find the one causing the problem and see if you can figure it out.

My bet is the second, especially as the problem resolves itself when you aren't logged in.

I've gotten great use out of the YAAS mod and the YARS mod has been very helpful as well. As such, I'd like to share the 320+ medals I've had my artist design for me with the community. A lot of them are "medal sets", meaning a medal has multiple level or ranks. I use this level system extensively on my site, so there are a lot of those.

I've included the base image of each medal and its icon. They are both PNG images with transparent backgrounds.

A sample:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/08/120.png https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/08/121.png

Please only use these only on your vBulliten sites. The zip file for these is to large to attach here, so you can download it here (wingsofwar.org/Temp/Medals.zip).

Hope this helps some of you out.

[Dave234]

Unfortunately not, there's an error in the uninstallation code, actually an omission, that prevents the plugin from uninstalling correctly.

First uninstall YAAS from the product manager.

Then to do what I posted on the previous page, in admincp go to Maintenance->Execute SQL Query

When prompted run the following query:
show tables

This will give you the list of all tables in your db, look for the ones that have awards in their name, there should be between one and three of them, most likely three. In my db the tables are called:

award
award_cat
award_requests

The names might be different in your db, especially if your tables have a prefix. Take note of the names, and then run drop table queries, one per table, to remove the tables.

So if I was removing the three tables from my db I'd run the following three queries:
drop table award
drop table award_cat
drop table award_requests

Then I could reinstall YAAS from scratch.

I have removed the above three tables from my database, but I also see another couple:

award_automation
award_user

Do these need to be removed as well?

[squidsk]

I have removed the above three tables from my database, but I also see another couple:

award_automation
award_user

Do these need to be removed as well?

Those are from the awards automation plugin which is an additional, separate, plugin that works on top of YaAS, I'd uninstall that plugin and remove those tables as well, then you'll have uninstalled all parts of YaAS.

If you look in my sig you'll see a link to a new, unofficial, version of YaAS that I released that fixes many of the bugs in the current official release. I'd recommend using that if you're going to try and re-install. It fixes the uninstall issues among other things. A complete list of fixes/changes is at the post in the link.

I'm having a slight problem. Everything is working fine apart from member cannot recommend a member.

Any ideas on what to do ?

I get the following:

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.

[squidsk]

Make sure the member is part of a group which has the recommend ability turned on. Its a usergroup setting.

[wat3v3r]

According to a hacking forum v4.0.2 has an exploit and can lead to an SQL injection to your site ?

Will send squidsk a pm with the details... hope he can fix this asap.

That's just for YaAS 4.0.4 The automation R2 package is an addon, and isn't required as far as I'm aware.

Given I didn't change any of the layouts my guess would be that you have stuff in additional.css that changes the padding/margins since the mod was updated to include additional.css template modifications.

You won't directly. 4 of the templates, those with a head html section, now have {vb:raw headinclude_bottom} in them, that will include the content in the additional.css template.

I will correct what I said earlier though. There are no layout changes if you had previously applied my unofficial, since I wasn't in charge of the mod at the time, 4.0.3 upgrade. None of those changes should have the effect you're describing though. To see the changes you can click on the link in my sig as it still points to the old changes or just take a look at the change log file in the mod.

I will correct what I said earlier though. There are no layout changes if you had previously applied my unofficial, since I wasn't in charge of the mod at the time, 4.0.3 upgrade. None of those changes should have the effect you're describing though. To see the changes you can click on the link in my sig as it still points to the old changes or just take a look at the change log file in the mod..

Would it be possible for you to take a look into this for me if I send you the details?

Backup MySQL database
Turn Off vbulletin
Turn off plugin system
Upload the contents of upload to your forum directory
import xml
Turn back on everything
Enjoy!



Thanks for the instructions! However, I don?t want to make a completely new installation, I need to update the existing MOD without loosing data of the persons who already have awards and without loosing graphic files and definitions of existing awards.

Is there a different approach for updating the existing MOD ?

Thanks in advance

1) upload all files
2) import the product

thats it, you don't need to follow any other instructions

it works but I do not see the post of the medals, and even the button to the requests, tried to uninstall and re-install but nothing.
any advice?

vb 4.2.0 patch level2

If you're talking about the nav button, you'll need to add it manually for vb 4.2 since it uses the new navigation manager which the mod does not yet support.

I presently have 4.0.2.1 version.
What is involved in updating to this new 4.0.4 version ?
(I don't see this info in any of the readme or instructions)

Thanks

Same as installing it fresh, upload all the files in the upload directory, import the xml making sure to check the override checkbox.

I did so, but the button for the recommendation medals has not been created, the same for the thread that should contain the medals.
but with the old version everything was ok.
gives me an error. loading php, but I have not had time to read.
for the rest no problem

Spoke to squidsk about this but wondering if anyone has ever been able to get a medal to show only 1 time on the postbit, so you could issue the same medal numerous times and have it show up once on the postbit instead of how many times you issued it.

Would really appreciate any help with this as its doing my head in.
