What are you using in your development environment?
PHP 5.2.11, MySQL 5.0.87, Apache 2.0.63. Latest version of vBulletin 4 and YaAS.
What is the minimum version of MySQL Required?
The core of the awards sytem will function on MySQL 4.1. However, in order to use the Points System, or the Automation System, you must be running atleast MySQL 5.0+
I'm seeing output like "-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: awards_awardusers_bit -->" before it displays members. Why?
In your AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> General Settings -> Display Template Names as HTML Comments -> OFF

As far as I know you should be able to. Just remember to do a backup of everything first.

I didn't have a test board setup with 3.8 with YAAS 3.8, and upgraded both. Product IDs are the same as previous versions, so it should work fine.

[Sador]

Nice, glad to see this got upgraded. I'll use this when it's more stable.

[CypherSTL]

Nice, glad to see this got upgraded. I'll use this when it's more stable.
Shouldn't be much longer than a few days. Just trying to figure out two display bugs, and fine-tune the XML Sheet and write up upgrade instructions.

For the most part upgrading should be pretty self-explanatory.

[silverfox_uw]

Brilliant, can not wait for this to be final

[Veer]

Thanks for the vb4 release.

I tested this on a vb4 test board (upgraded from 3.8.2 version to 4.0.0 BETA RELEASE) upgrade is ok, everything looks fine except Postbit: Style and Profile Tab Style.
both needs style improvements.

Can you please describe Point system?

Could you go into a bit more detail on how you think it should look?

With the Point System, I'm working on a text document that will be packaged with the next release that goes over the Point System.

[Bouncer222]

Works great on vbulletin 4.0 latest version live forums! You can see it in action here at www.brotherhoodofgamers.com

Hope that you can sometime implemen to separate different categories in postbit and not show medals together :)

Good job!

[Bouncer222]

Except eh yeah.. it shows up wrong in profile, but you already know that.

And what is the points system about exactly??

I have a problem in my recommend awards page... The text doesn't show up because apperently it's black or something, how do I fix this?

[Inferno Dragon]

Thanks for the vb4 release :) I have upgraded from YAWS v3.8 to v4.0 on my test board and it's working fine, I am only seeing those two issues which have been mentioned already:

1) Members profile page awards list output is messed up.
2) Award Manager in ModCP is notworking.
3) Awards List page needs little formatting (needs space between awards)
4) Postbit "Style 1" is not displaying just like it shows in the admincp preview i-e missing that box border.

I guess these are just minor bugs :) once again thanks a lot for such quick release.

In previous editions a few people were asking to be able to assign a point value to awards. I will most likely expand on this feature in coming releases.

Ahh. Looks like I need to format the text. I did all my testing on the default VB4 template. Look for this to be fixed in tomorrows update.

"Style 1" used the <legend> formatting tab, which doesn't seem to work in VB4. I'll see if I can find a work around for that, or just adding a div border should also work. Look for this to be fixed in tomorrows update.

If the ModCP awards isn't working because of the unexpected ;, this will be fixed in tomorrows update.

Thanks for all the input guys,

[ndut]

waiting for final version :)
thank you

[ProFifaLeagues]

Me too,this was a great mod on 3.8 and cant wait to have it running a1 on 4.0

[kylek]

Will the ability to have awards displayed in the signature area be returning for this version? We use the postbit display and find the signature area is better if members have a lot of awards.

Just upgraded to this version and all looks okay so far.

[Alien]

One of my must haves, I'm extremely grateful you've decided to update this!

I'll probably go ahead and install tomorrow's release!

[elwachiman]

reserved & taged tnks ,waiting for running in vb4

[Trek]

I use this on my 3.8 site and this is one of those mods I considered high priority for going to VB4, nice to see it updated!

Tagged for when I finally upgrade (let's hope tomorrow patch is good. heh)

The signature output of the awards is working, however it's doubling up on the output for some odd reason.

[GrossKopf]

Cool. My members loved this before we upgraded. Can't wait to put it back on!

[CypherSTL]

Fixed So Far:

modCP/Awards now working
Tweaked display output on Awards listings, now a much cleaner look
Black Font for some text has been fixedI'm currently working on the Profile Tabs to get it to display data properly, right now it's displaying on every tab for some reason.

I'll also be tweaking the "Styles" for output into the postbits.

Once I get these all taken care of, I'll release it here for download.

Attached is a screenshot of what the main awards.php output looks like currently.

[silverfox_uw]

cool, can not wait

[DigitalDark]

CypherSTL, can you add some spaces between the name and category of medals and delete some "extra" categories?
Look

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/01/101.jpg

The category of both medals is "Videojuegos" but there are more words...
Default, Usuarios, Especiales, ED Awards, Halloween, are other categories but this medals aren't in these categories....

I know that making this mod its a lot of work. I like this. Thanks for your help!

[CypherSTL]

DigitalDark,

The category display listings have been fixed in the version I will be releasing Monday afternoon/evening. I have also added spacing between the awards it displays.

[CypherSTL]

YaAS 4.0.0 BETA 2 is now published for download.

Of course, report any bugs.

See first post for more details.

[philr]

Thanks for realsing the update for V4, this has kinda made my forum complete. Have only installed on test froum at the moment until it is off Beta. One of the best mods around

[absy]

Installed ty, but I get this error:
MySQL Error : Mixing of GROUP columns (MIN(),MAX(),COUNT(),...) with no GROUP columns is illegal if there is no GROUP BY clause

Can anyone help please?

[bart6767]

I get this at the bottom of the page ?

Members who received this award: 1
-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: awards_awardusers_bit --> , Bhoy_Molloy

Is there a fix for this ?

[RK1gaming]

nice jobs getting this ready for VB4 - I will wait for a nice full release but looking good so far on my test forum

[Thunderbird8]

If an admin or a moderator attempts to give an award to a username with an apostrophe in it, the database query will get malformed and fail. This also affects 3.8. On the 3.8 setup I help run, I added an addslashes() around $vbulletin->GPC['awardusername'] line, as I wasn't aware of the escape_string function at the time.

[CypherSTL]

Installed ty, but I get this error:

Is this on a brand new fresh install, or upgrade?

What other mods do you have on your forum? I've never seen anything like "BEGIN TEMPLATE" being outputted anywhere.

Ah, yes. I did have it marked down to fix by adding the escape_string function. I will get it updated.

[absy]

Is this on a brand new fresh install, or upgrade?

Its a fresh install, on a test version of my forum, the error is the same on the default skin and my custom skin

Googled the error, dont know if this helps:
#

If the ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY SQL mode is enabled, an error occurs:

mysql> SET sql_mode = 'ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.00 sec)

mysql> SELECT owner, COUNT(*) FROM pet;
ERROR 1140 (42000): Mixing of GROUP columns (MIN(),MAX(),COUNT()...)
with no GROUP columns is illegal if there is no GROUP BY clause

#

If ONLY_FULL_GROUP_BY is not enabled, the query is processed by treating all rows as a single group, but the value selected for each named column is indeterminate. The server is free to select the value from any row:

[CypherSTL]

Bart, I did notice another error on your site, particularly with the Profile Tab. I left out a conditional statement in the output code for that.

For those who downloaded the BETA2 Zip file before this post, please re-download and import the XML.

Trying to see if I can duplicate it.

--
There is a SUM statement, which adds up the total amount of points. That could be where it is erroring out on. Did you make that setting custom on your database, or what?

[absy]

not that I know, i disabled the points system and it works fine, so I am not worrired since I do not want to use the points, but it may be others might, thank you so much for working on this, itsa great part of our forum

[CypherSTL]

@absy: I've tried it so far with fresh installed on VB 4.0PL1 using the normal mysql extension, and the mysqli extension. I myself cannot duplicate this. Anyone else running into this?

[absy]

As I said, I am quite happy not to have a points system, if you would like to go on my test site and re enable the points and investigate there please do. If its just a quirk with my sql i wouldnt worry its an awesome mod

pm me if you want to go on my forum

[CypherSTL]

I sent you a PM absy with a link to an XML. See if it's fixed in that if you don't mind.

[CypherSTL]

Is anyone else having this problem with the points system being enabled and getting the SQL Error? I have a possible fix that I'm wanting to test before I update the actual .zip package.

I'm unable to duplicate the error on my test machines.

[DigitalDark]

I use beta 2 and I've found a little bug in the private messages. I've seen the changes... very good work in beta 2

Image of the bug:
With moderators and admins ocurrs but with standard users not..

Image disabling the mod:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/01/99.jpg

Another thing is the medal description in profile...

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/01/100.jpg

I think that there is a issue with the css nothing more... Thanks for your help!

PD: I don't have this sql error. I use ucash and I think that everithing is right despite of this details.

[CypherSTL]

Digital. I did catch the Profile Tab bug and a few template's wern't caching. Those have been fixed in the current Beta2 Zip file. Try to redownload it and reimport the XML from that and see what it does.

Also, what postbit location are you using?

[DigitalDark]

I'm using traditional postbit like vbulletin.org, and another thing is... this the signature is crazy hehe
I've reimported the product but still show this...
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2010/01/97.jpg

[CypherSTL]

Does it also do it on the Default Style? If you saying it only does it to Moderators and Admins, but not to standard users, sounds like something else is trying to interfere with the code.

[DigitalDark]

The image is too big but you can see the error with default style. Sorry the error happens with all users I thing. Look that :

http://i49.tinypic.com/4loi2a.jpg

Thanks!

[GrossKopf]

Just found a problem. I have moderators able to give awards. I went into the Moderator panel for my forums. When I go to the Mod panel and click on "Give award to user", the page is blank to the right of the mod panel menu.

I'm attaching a screenshot.

[Bouncer222]

There is also a problem with the postbit_legacy. Look at this link here: http://www.brotherhoodofgamers.com/showthread.php?8-last-one-to-post-wins-D

As you can see, when the awards are enabled, the background gray image behind the posts is cut off at the post which the user "Chompster" posted.

go to that link and look for the first post from the top named chompster, as you can see under his post the background gray stylevar (I think you can call it a stylevar i dont know) stops under his post, also reply, quote etc buttons are under his post when they shouldnt be there and his medals dont appear in BOTH his posts on that page.

How do I fix this or is this a bug?

Thanks.

[Bouncer222]

Just an addition to my previous post, the reason it cuts out a square where the medals should be is because the user hasn't received any medals, so if they have no medals it's going to mess up the post like that.

[DigitalDark]

I thing that there is a css issue. Actually I use horizontal posbit and the errors are like yours....
We must wait to another release of this great mod!

[GrossKopf]

Just found a problem. I have moderators able to give awards. I went into the Moderator panel for my forums. When I go to the Mod panel and click on "Give award to user", the page is blank to the right of the mod panel menu.

[GrossKopf]

Ok, got another problem. Awards aren't showing up in the user profile if I click on the award in a forum post:

http://flotgaming.net/forums/member.php?1-GrossKopf&tab=myawards#aw_issue10

Clicking on the Awards tab in the profile works fine:

http://flotgaming.net/forums/member.php?1-GrossKopf&tab=myawards

[DigitalDark]

Ummm a user of my forum reported me this error... But I was solved byself... Try to reactivate the plugin and give the user more medals... Good luck!

[Bouncer222]

Can you also make it so that if an award is not active it shouldn't be displayed in postbit_legacy aka any posts or anywhere on the site at all? Kinda doesn't make sense why would it show on the site if it's inactive, not just the awards page.

Thanks.

[Veer]

Beta 2 style bugs:

If I use Postbit: Style 1 in postbit i get this result:
109741

If I use the same in postbit_legacy, result is:
109742

If I use Postbit: Style 2 I get the buttons like this:
109743

[abualk]

I am waiting the final version.

Thanks

[bigdjam]

thank you

upgrade from 3.8.4 to VB4 succeful

[Inferno Dragon]

"Style 1" used the <legend> formatting tab, which doesn't seem to work in VB4. I'll see if I can find a work around for that, or just adding a div border should also work. Look for this to be fixed in tomorrows update.


I did this in the the awards postbit template and it's working fine now:
<fieldset style="border: 1px solid rgb(15, 16, 19);"><legend>

[CypherSTL]

Just an addition to my previous post, the reason it cuts out a square where the medals should be is because the user hasn't received any medals, so if they have no medals it's going to mess up the post like that.
I'll tweak the conditional on displaying if the user has 0 awards.

Ok, got another problem. Awards aren't showing up in the user profile if I click on the award in a forum post:

http://flotgaming.net/forums/member.php?1-GrossKopf&tab=myawards#aw_issue10

Clicking on the Awards tab in the profile works fine:

http://flotgaming.net/forums/member.php?1-GrossKopf&tab=myawards
Yes, that I do believe is a bug in vB 4.0. A few other users in other forums, and vB.com have posted on that.

Beta 2 style bugs:

If I use Postbit: Style 1 in postbit i get this result:
109741

If I use the same in postbit_legacy, result is:
109742

If I use Postbit: Style 2 I get the buttons like this:
109743
With some of the CSS Style changes in vB4 it does seem that some issues exist. When I wrap only the awards with a border, it tries to wrap the majority of the postbit. I will check to see if I can better isolate this.
---
Again, thank you guys for helping me get this most tested and getting a lot of the bugs worked out in preparation for Gold release.

Sorry about bailing on the forums earlier today, my Internet went down and just came back up not too long ago.

For the users that were getting the SQL Grouping error, what MySQL version are you running? Although, I did fix it I do believe in the updated XML.

[kylek]

Is there by any chance any known conflicts with other mods? No matter what I try I can get nothing to show medal display in the postbit area. Using default style and the postbit template has not been altered. Medals show fine in the profile display.

Are they all added via hooks or is there anyway to be able to manually place them?

[CypherSTL]

Disable all other mods except for YaAS and see what happens.

And yes, all areas that the awards can display in the postbit are displayed using template hooks.

[CypherSTL]

I get this at the bottom of the page ?

Members who received this award: 1
-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: awards_awardusers_bit --> , Bhoy_Molloy

http://www.randalstowncsc.net/awards.php

Is there a fix for this ?
In your AdminCP.
AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> General Settings -> Add Template Name in HTML Comments

Set to Off.

[kylek]

Disable all other mods except for YaAS and see what happens.


Bingo. Found the mod that conflicts with this - Add Ignore User To Postbit Dropdown.

When that one is enabled it blocks the awards from appearing in all locations of the postbit.

[argothiusz]

Can you make an auto award function so it's award member who has joined for certain date or reached certain post count?

Thanks

[CypherSTL]

Can you make an auto award function so it's award member who has joined for certain date or reached certain post count?

Thanks
That would require coding a cron script. That currently isn't on my list to complete right now.

You could code on yourself that would do that. Eventually, it will most likely make its way into future versions. However, currently I'm more focused on bug fixes in our beta release.

[CypherSTL]

YaAS BETA 3 Released

Check first post for the change log. I do believe I have everyones bugs fixed that have been reported so far.

If you've edited your Awards CSS Template, be sure to copy all the data from the "Default CSS Data.txt" over your existing template.

[CypherSTL]

Please do not request additional features at this time. I'm working as hard I can right now to simply get all the bugs out of the awards system on vBulletin 4.0.

After the mod is considered stable, and ready for production use, I will work on additional features as necessary. Thank you for your understanding.

Yes, exactly. First we need a stable vb4 version.

Thank you CypherSTL for your hard work, I'm updating BETA 3 and will let you know my feedback shortly.

[DigitalDark]

All the bugs that I've reported has been solved! Thanks man! I will report if I found any more...
Another thing that would be great is to allow a group of members to give medals. Thanks.

Edit: The mod cp in not working again, the same parse error
I solved it adding the awards.php of the Beta2 I don't know if this is correct...

Yeah. I just reuploaded the BETA3 Zip with the correct ModCP Awards file. For some reason I keep getting that mixed up with one of my others.

Sorry about that.

[Bouncer222]

What's the default css data.txt for?

[Bouncer222]

so far so good, updated.

Question: I want to have all of my forum members' avatars show on top of their medals and rank image, where do I move what code in posbit_legacy?

[DigitalDark]

I've found a little bug. In postbit, when I click to a medal it links to me to the Award Profile Tab but is empty. When I click directly to the Awards Tab then the medals appear. Thanks!

[Veer]

Again, as I've pointed out before. This is a bug with vBulletin, and should be fixed in the next release of vBulletin.

I'm currently installing vB 4.0.1 on my development board to check compatibility, and check the profile tab bug.

[CypherSTL]

I installed vB 4.0.1 on my test board and it seems to have killed all custom profile tabs completely, even profile tabs from other mods.

[bart6767]

everything works fine only for this page .

http://www.randalstowncsc.net/awards.php

[COL NIL SATIS]

This was my fave ever mod on 3.8.4...!! absolute class..will get this tomorrow for sure!! thanks for this guys

[CypherSTL]

everything works fine only for this page .

It's been stated in this thread how to get rid of the template comments.

[DigitalDark]

I installed vB 4.0.1 on my test board and it seems to have killed all custom profile tabs completely, even profile tabs from other mods.

What? The tabs have dissappear?Are we in danger?

[bart6767]

It's been stated in this thread how to get rid of the template comments.

Thanks found it .

keep up the good work .

[CypherSTL]

What? The tabs have dissappear?Are we in danger?
I'm hoping it's just a bug with vB 4.0.1. According to debug mode on my test board, it's still caching all of the templates required to display the Tab, and the information within the tab.

[CypherSTL]

It seems that vB 4.0.1 now has Tab Ordering. So, once I get the tabs going again, I'll update it.

[DigitalDark]

Umm the Awards Tab has dissappeared right... But in the last version the tabs appeared. Maybe some change in the template. I'm very new in vBulletin ,but you can try a diferential search in the template in order to find what is changed respect the previous version. Sorry if I am saying stupid things...

[CypherSTL]

I've reverted all of the templates in my Default Style, so they're in sync with vB 4.0.1. I believe this has something do with the "Tab Ordering" that was added into 4.0.1. Still trying to find out how to actually enter in the data for the tab ordering to see if it displays at that point.

[CypherSTL]

Alright, well, I need to heat out to work, so I'll work on this some more when I get back.

All I can say, if you guys haven't updated to vB 4 yet, don't, it's a piece of junk IMO.

YaAS RC1 Released.

* Fixed - Award Tab Display for vBulletin 4.0.1.

Very nice addon. MEGA THX

hmm so what is the benefit of point system? I mean what does it calculate ? it depends on what ?

I like to see an auto award feature depends on posts number , reputation or points for example, and happy to see it upgraded

[GreigM]

Great mod, our members loved it on 3.8 and will do again on vb4, I have set the awards to show on the userinfo left, is there a manual way to place the awards below the instant messaging icons?

[absy]

This is a great mod, should be in the vb4 as default, thanks agian for all your hard work

I'm starting to agree...I pre-bought 2 o the suite versions and I have no plans on upgrading my other forums till I have to or till I can go with a different product. So many bugs and things screwing up it's pathetic.

[DigitalDark]

Oh! Another thing I forgotten... It would be possible to show only one image per medal?
Ex: I create a MEDAL "A". I give the Medal "A" 3 times to the same user. In postbit appears A A A. It would be possible to show A (3)?

Yeah auto is a lot better I have to agree with him, especially on huge boards, here are some good features...

a) Auto for reaching a specific post count or maybe a couple of post counts with different medals.

b) User has been a member for X Years/Days/Months and gets a certain award and a new award for each increase of years.

c)Usergroup change/promotion-get award

And there could be more even great options.

If you guys want all the auto awards being issued for whatever reasons, my recommendation is that you start reading up on scheduled tasks and writing cron scripts. Their is simply way too many different combination of reasons why awards should be issued, to code something like this that would cover everyones bases.
----
I am willing to add a few "Automation Options"; but I cannot do special requests for everyones needs. My suggestion at that point, I will automate a few of the award scenarios, and for more "advanced" options I would recommend looking at the cron scripts for the 3 I will make and see if you can figure out from that. I will try to help, but I don't have all too much time to work on cron scripts for people. I hope everyone can understand that.

The only thing I can think of, it wouldn't be done within the next week mind you, but pick like 3 "most common" award scenarios and try to automate those. Those 3 would most likely be
Post Counts
Usergroups
Membership LengthI will see what I can do on working with those 3. Just remember, it wont be anytime soon for those to be implemented. Give me a week or two atleast.

Check your vBulletin Database in the awards table, and see if you have an "award_allowrecommend", and "award_pointvalue" column.

Not sure why it didn't create them during the update. I can't duplicate this at all with upgrading, etc.

But yes, you should just be able to create the columns manually inside the database and all should be fine. Just make sure you look at the InstallCode in the XML for "3.8.3", so you can make sure you have the proper names and types.

Question for everyone.

For the automatic issuing of awards, for instance, based on post counts.
Say you have two awards and the criteria for each is 10, and 20.
Once the user reaches 10, that user will get the award for 10 posts. Now, when user gets 20 posts, and gets the award for 20 posts, should the award for 10 posts be removed, or stay?

For ease of coding, they'll be left with both awards. That alright?

Yes. I think that if the user comes to a big poster... he will get a lot of medals. I prefer the second option, remove medal after getting a new medal.
Thanks! I like this mod a lot!!!!

[CypherSTL]

The "Automation" aspect will have the option to Enable/Disable.

So far, I have the AdminCP Forms built, and cron script wrote for post counts. I still need to go back and have it remove the older award based on criteria. That part I think will be a bit tricky to code.

If you're already using vBulletin 4.0.1, then you need to update YaAS to the RC-1 Release. Profile tabs are working in that release. The minimum vBulletin version that YaAS will now function on is 4.0.1.

When vB Released 4.0.1 yesterday, a change they did broke the profile tabs in previous releases of YaAS4.

Yes that is fine, maybe make a future option to remove the old award.

Post count award is great... what's also greatly needed is these...

-Specific award for specific usergroup promotion
-Specific award for a certain lenght member

Our site really needs those :) Especially when we are massively promoting new users.

I'm about 70% done with the "Automation System", so that is being worked on. It should be in the RC2 release of the Awards System.

The next update I see after RC2 will most likely be Gold release, as I think this upgrade is running pretty stable on vB 4.0.1.

Of course, if ya'll like this mod, be sure to nominate for MOTM :P

Alright, I enabled that option on my test board to view it. I will try to get that fixed in the RC2 release.

For now, you can set your display location to "userinfo_right_after_post" and it will still show inside the postbit, but a bit higher.

Thanks for the report.

Alright. I have just finished writing the Award Automation for Postcount-Based awards, and seems to be functioning correctly during my testing. This will be in the RC2 release in a few days.

I still need to code the automation script for issuing awards based on usergroup membership, and length/days of being a forum member.

Also, just a reminder. For those of you using the Points system, and the future Automation System will need to run atleast MySQL 5.0+ due to some of the query functions.

The Award Image I do believe is alright aligned to the top, I'll do the same with the icon.

The "Description" is offsetted a few px due to the CSS I do believe. This seems to be CSS within vBulletin itself because every thing I've tried, I couldn't move it.

The next release, I'll add an option for enabling/disabling the border in the Profile Tab Showcase.

-Give Awards Based Off Usergroups

Alright, everyone.

RC2 will be available for upload later tonight/tomorrow morning. Have a few more bits of code to clean up with automation. Currently, Postcount and Usergroup automation are possible, I haven't started on length of membership yet as I'm still trying to figure out how I want to go about coding that.

I'm also working on putting together an Automation Guide to help some of the members that want to take advantage of the feature. Automation will also require MySQL 5+.

RC2 also includes a few bug fixes, and some more fixing of Icon/Image spacing on the Awards page.

After RC2, my main focus will be towards back-porting some of the bug fixes and features into the 3.8 branch, then start back up on the 4.0 branch.

Hello guys, first off please be running version 4.0.1 of vBulletin and YaAS-4.0.0-RC1, and it is preferred that you also be running at least version mySQL 5.0 if you want to use the points system. This combination fixes a lot of the problems you are having. It has been said several times. If you are running older versions of the awards system on the newer version of vBulletin then you will have problems, if you are running an older version of vBulletin you will have problems. It is a must that you upgrade both vBulletin AND the awards.

Also if you link to your site....PLEASE have guest allowed to view where you say you are having the issues, we will not register on your site in order to help you, and post screenshots as well to help identify the issue.

I'd like to see it so that I (the admin) can set an award NOT to show up in the awards list in awards.php. Basically so it only shows up on postbits and memberlist if someone has the award.

I have awards setup that I use to create new awards later. This way they are already there and I don't have to look them up. Some use the same icons, etc.

The reason for this is, I wanted to make it so that when someone mouse overed the award, instead of (or in addition to) showing the award name, I wanted to display the issue reason.

So some awards have the same icons, but the issue reasons are different.

One more thing, if a category doesn't have any awards in it, don't display it. I have some categories premade that I'm awaiting icons on. Would be nice if we could set entire categories not to display actually.

EDIT:
Found something else. I'm using the default postbit style (1) and it's not showing the border as usual.

Thanks for the mod though, it's awesome work.

Might be able to setup something in the next release with the option to display catagoriesor not. Could use those type of catagories to put your "hidden" awards in, but still displays in postbits, profile, etc.

From what I can tell, and done through testing, that has been fixed. If you've edited your awards_css.css template since the last update last week, redownload it, and update to that release, as well as look at the "Defualt CSS Data.txt" for the fieldset CSS code.

[CypherSTL]

I am still working on the RC2 release. Had some work pop up last minute on another IT project, so I've been having to put most of my time towards that.

I see that you have the "Awards" page be added to the nav bar. I havn't installed the mod yet but I would like to know if there is an option for that tab to not be placed there before I install the mod... my nav bar is rather full as is and I would rather add the link elsewhere

EDIT: NM i see the option in one of the posted pictures of the admin CP

I just installed this yesterday and haven't done any editing to it at all. As I said, I did upgrade from a vb3.8 though. I'll dig around and see if I can figure out what's going on. My postbit isn't looking very good anyway so I think it's time to dig into that and while doing that I'll see if I can figure this issue out.

[Xanlamin]

If you had a vB3.8.4 board and had the YAAS mod installed then upgraded to vB4 you will need to check your templates. you will need to uninstall the 3.8.4 version of this mod and may need to revert to the default vB4 templates and install the 4.0.0 RC1 version of this mod overwriting ALL files

I did this actually, all of the templates are new vb4.01 templates.

What I did NOT do is uninstall the mod as I didn't want to lose all of the assigned awards though.

[Trek]

My users are reporting some issues with the display of the awards in the postbit.

It seems as though the display of the awards is different depending on browser version. A user has uploaded screenshots of IE7, FF 3.5 and Chrome and the awards are all positioned differently. Some are out into the post text itself, to the left, right, etc.

As soon as I figure out how to get the screenshots out of the new system to show you.. I will. heh But if you test yourself for this, I think you'll see the same thing. Not sure if it matters, but I am using postbit style 1 for legacy postbit.

[Xanlamin]

We will look into resolving this, sometimes it's as simple as getting the spacing right. Most of our testing is on the newest version of FF as it is the most used browser, and I know with IE and vBulletin there are some spacing issues, this is not a problem with the mod so to say but with div tags and how the browsers read them.

arg...my bad, I did not mean to say uninstall, I meant to say disable.

[RedTrinity]

I've just installed this on my 4.0 forum, and imported the award tables from 3.8 over.

However the awards are now all assigned to the wrong users? I'm not sure why this is :confused:

Example:

Member distribution for a particular award on old 3.8 forum... Jordiesmum, RedTrinity, Boo, firefly, tad, Sandra, skyebaby_3, Sunny4eva, Bec

Distribution for the exact same award to members on new 4.0 forum, after importing tables... RedTrinity, LukesMummy, firefly, Ronansmum, mummy2boys, bnzsmum, lilmky, jennie1985, Unikwa

:confused::confused::confused:

Would appreciate some advice on how to fix this. I've still got our 3.8 database running, so I can re-back up tables if need be.

Cheers,

Nikki.

[Xanlamin]

first make sure your running vB 4.0.1 and you should have disabled the mod for 3.8.4 and upgraded your vB 3.8.4 forum to 4.0.1 then installed the mod 4.0.0 RC1

[RedTrinity]

first make sure your running vB 4.0.1 and you should have disabled the mod for 3.8.4 and upgraded your vB 3.8.4 forum to 4.0.1 then installed the mod 4.0.0 RC1

I bought VB4.1 as a separate license to my 3.8 forum, as I plan to still make use of the older software as it currently is but for a different purpose (ie. have 2 forums running).

This is why I did not upgrade.

The version of this mod as its currently installed is the latest version (4.0.0-RC1)

[uprentiss]

is there a way i can center this????????

[Bouncer222]

is there a way i can center this????????

I need that too.. I believe he's referring to the awards in the posbit_legacy

When some of my members have a little amount of awards such as 1 award, it's shifted to the left, I need it to be centered.

I asked this a couple pages back, with still no response to date.

[Xanlamin]

Change to the Custom CSS display style and edit the awards_css.css template. As stated elsewhere in this thread.

Please read before you start asking the same questions that have already been answered before.

But your using tables that have not been upgraded. And don't you mean your bought vB4.0 not 4.1 cause as far as I know vB4.1 is not out yet.

[RedTrinity]

But your using tables that have not been upgraded. And don't you mean your bought vB4.0 not 4.1 cause as far as I know vB4.1 is not out yet.

I used Impex to import the necessary tables (users/groups/threads/topics etc) from our old forum to our new one. So only those are the ones which are still 3.8, the rest are the ones that came with the new software.

And sorry, I meant 4.0.1 not 4.1 :)

[Xanlamin]

your users do not have the same ID #'s has they had on the other board, so when it is looking to see who (userid) has an award it pulls the userid's it has and displays the names of those userid's on the new site.

[RedTrinity]

Hmmm... strange. I wonder why the ID's changed :confused:

Ok I just had a look and you're right, and I've just worked out why... it looks like when the users were imported to the new forum (4.0.1) it only imported active accounts (not the deleted ones) and renumbered them all over again.

Wonder if there is a way to get it to recount the members in the 3.8 database... I might have to enquire about that on the official forums.

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction Xanlamin :)

[Trek]

Good luck with that. =) ImpEx isn't supposed to be used to upgrade between vB versions. Don't ask me why they don't do that, I wanted to do the same thing to get a clean VB install by retain my VB data. But that's the reply you'll get there.

You really only have two options.

1) Redo your upgrade and don't use ImpEx to copy your database.

2) Delete all awards and reassign them. (The better option really)

You can't change the userIDs now and if you tried, there would be so many things screwed up you'd never get things working correctly.

[Xanlamin]

Impex is for when you have different forum software and going to vB, not upgrades of the same forum software. Your best bet is to go back 100% to you old forums, disable the awards mod in 3.8, then upgrade your forums to 4.0.1. Then install this version of the awards (4.0.0 RC1). But with the userid's the way they are now....you can not change them, you will do more damage and will have to scrap the whole site. Like Trek said, remove all the awards from the users and reassign them, if you have both sites up at the same time it should be pretty easy to give all the awards back to who gets them just by looking.

Yeah I'll just have to do that I think. Its a little too late to go back to using the old forum now, as I've dismantled a lot of it already lol. Plus all users are now all settled over on the new one - which I've already spent a lot of time building and modifying.

Ahh well, live and learn I suppose :p

Thanks again for your support with this, guys :up:

[RedTrinity]

BTW: I have a few feature suggestions, Mass Award Giving

-Enter a numerical sequence of IDs at once EX. 3,6,7 (Users with the IDs 3,6, and 7 would receive that award.)
-Enter a numerical range of IDs at once EX. 1-1000 (All users with IDs between and including 1 and 1000 would receive that award)
-Give Awards Based Off Usergroups

I third this idea!!! Would really come in handy right about now when I am having to re-issue awards to an entire community.

Though I'd like usernames as an option, as well as ID's :)

[wolfyman]

can I integrate this into a paid subscription service?

When the user is current on paid subscriptions, they have the award... and when they no longer are paying, the reward will disappear?

[CypherSTL]

When I get the RC2 build finished, you can use it to automate issuing awards to a Usergroup that you assign them via Paid Subscriptions.

[wolfyman]

I'll mark it as installed then, so I get notified. Thanks!

[wolfyman]

how about issuing an award automatically when a member enters a new usergroup?

I'd love to see an approved member get a notification like:

Congrats, you have been accepted into XXXXX Group! You will now see the XXXXX award under your avatar and you can access XXXXX forum now, too!

[Xanlamin]

Yes you will be able to. Like when they do a donation and they are automaticaly put into the Donors usergroup for instance, they will get the award assigned to that usergroup, and if they leave that group the award will disappear.

[wolfyman]

I'm assuming it will work with recurring payments, then... when do you expect it to be released?

Thanks for your work!

[Xanlamin]

yes recurring payments will keep the user in the group therefore keeping the award.

And should be out by the end of the week.

[sumampouw]

Thank you for this add on...

[Bouncer222]

Great! can't wait for the donors to work with this!

Is there an option to show 'some' awards in posts or not ? For example, I gave an award for someone and showed it in posts for one month. After that, I wouldn't it to be shown in posts but I want it to be shown in the user profile 'In awards tab' .

[cloferba]

i want to insert a button to link to user?s awards....

i mean a direct link, (actually this mod uses "awards.php-userid-etc" (for example)

im using this mod https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=228507 and it only works with links without variables like userid..
i would like to insert button "My Awards" without needing specification of userid (so...link is available to any user..not only one user).

tell me if you dont understand what im saying xD...im not english speaker, so is a bit difficult to me explain well...but i can do it better :)

[Sayid]

wow can't wait for the next release of this awesome mod.
I will nominated this for the year if I can not month only :d

On the same line of thought, I have awards that I want to ALWAYS show in the postbit, and at a specific position. For instance, I have leaders for various groups that after a while retire. I'd like to honor them and their work with an award that shows this, but if they do something that gets them other awards, it'll fall off the postbit. I could raise the number of icons, but... it'll be too much if they get too many awards (which is possible).

Anyway, someone else I'd like to see if you guys can add it in. =)

You've got a lot to learn, apparently. :)

Open the "Upload folder" and upload the files to your site via ftp...

images go to images, etc.

To import the xml file, go to your vbulletin admincp > add products > browse, find the file > import.

Don't worry, it gets easier. :)

[GONUMBER6]

Thank you! I did figure out what I did wrong. I did not add the main product .xml file into my root directory. I only uploaded the contents of the upload folder. :rolleyes:

[Reichadler]

I am just about to upgrade my forums form 3.8.4PL2 to v4.0.1 I am running YAAS 3.8.

I have downloaded the latest version.

I am unable to find a recomended install/upgrade process.

I am hoping not to have to reissue the awards to my members; but have them migrate over with the upgrades.

As best I can glean, I disable YAAS 3.8, upgrade the forums to 4.0.1, & then install YAAS 4. Is this correct?

[RollaJedi]

I've heard that there will be awards automatically issued to people based on criteria met, which is basically your site looking for specific integers, like post count.

So, does will this mean we could possibly do our own criteria based awards that would automatically be issued based on an integer inside the a users profile or actions on other various mods?

Specifically speaking, I'm thinking of the arcade mod. Whereas if a user were to gain a high score, which would be an integer entered into the database that the award program could point to, that user would automatically get an award?
Something like this would unlock so many possibilities for this mod. It would be awesome if you might have something like this planned. Please LMK.
Thank you!
