Yet Another Ranks System

[TheLastSuperman]

* CREATE A BACKUP OF YOUR FORUM AND DATABASE BEFORE INSTALLING !

I've had quite a few PM's in regards to this and seeing as how once upon a time I administered a gaming tournament forum it came in handy... we had virtual armies in battlefield games with Generals, LtCol's, Captains, squads of 6 and enjoyed a rank structure along with our awards so we converted the Awards mod into a Ranks mod, many also had a need for it and now we have it for 4.x. This is a complete re-write of the 4.x Yet Another Awards System by CypherSTL and Xanlamin ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=232684 ) with updates including one fix by another community member for the profile tabs (noted in Changelog.txt). I hope everyone enjoys it who finds a use for it :D.

DESCRIPTION:
This is a Medals/Ranks system. Admin can give members ranks, and rank icons will be displayed in member's profile, posts, as well as in a rank list.

Attention:

If you do not properly setup this modification you will see errors such as:

Something unexpected has happened, your rank request cannot be sent at this time. Please contact a site administrator for assistance.

I am getting this error when i recommend or issue rank request?

how to fix it ?

Basically here's the short on this:


Edit your usergroups, for each usergroup set whether they can request and recommend ranks.
Setup the mod options in AdminCP > Ranks System > Rank System Settings.
If your having the requests or recommendations posted as a New Thread OR New Post within a existing thread please ensure that the members usergroup has permission to do so, in other words they can't post a new rank request into a private admin-only forum or a new post in a admin only thread correct? Bingo :p. You can create a new forum and only allow viewing to normal members ;).
If your having users requesting ranks every min or two, adjust your minimum time between posts to be one minute.
Try disabling the Points System, do you still have a issue?


Other issues:


What is the minimum version of MySQL Required?
- The core of the ranks sytem will function on MySQL 4.1. However, in order to use the Points System you must be running at least MySQL 5.0+
I'm seeing output like "-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: ranks_rankusers_bit -->" before it displays members. Why?
In your AdminCP > Settings > Options > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments = OFF
Styling issues? - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2213758&postcount=2
If you have any other issues, post them however I need to know if this was the 2nd, 3rd or 4th request, what was done before the error and if issuing to another user worked afterwords! Thanks!

Up :D.

[Kaspersku]

It's great, I very like but I have some question for you:
It can use for 4.1.x or 4.x.x ?
Are you test it in all verison 4.x.x?

Thanks you much

[Kaspersku]

Oh dear, it can not be installed on vbb 4.1.4
When I installed the 4.1.4 database, then it fails, I try to install on localhost, it was like, you can explain ?

I've only ran this on 4.1.3 and below per the info in the mod description: vB Version: 4.1.3

Edit: Works fine in 4.1.3 and 4.1.4 etc and this was due to MySQL version i.e. Type or Engine as pointed out by Ninjapaul - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2219344&postcount=33

[nacaruncr]

so.... is the same as awards hack, right?
only a few changes.. the words, isn't it?

Bingo, so you can install this and use in conjunction w/ the Awards mod if your running a military or FPS gaming community etc etc same as it's been since we first converted Hachno's mod into the Ranks system pretty much, I simply used Cypher and Xan's code to make it easier on me to update since a few had requested it for 4.x ;).

In fact you could rename the Awards mod into well.. anything and use it like a badge/ribbon/award/rank whatever mod, it is marked as re-usable code after all :cool:.

[nacaruncr]

ohhh... it's awesome men, this is so good ;)

[CharlieDelta]

Thank you, thank you, thank you Superman. We have been running a gaming site for years now and I have been manually giving ranks.
Now I can use this.:D

We surely used this along w/ the Awards mod for a good virtual "army" forum atmosphere... it was fun when everyone played along and followed the ranks in-game not paying attention to actual game rank etc. Gosh you have me thinking back to my weeks as a Captain of a squad then my 2 and a half campaigns as General of the PAC where we dominated the EU division until my retirement! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNI02LZ8F20 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luauhr8Avxg I miss my gaming site days, sadly if I had more time I would still help out at that one community, in a galaxy far, far away now as it seems :p.

[NarutoFTW]

So can I upgrade from this mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=232684 to yours? i've been using that mod and have many awards on it.

[Sayid]

If the answer to NarutoFTW Q is no, then a converter from 3.x or 4.x version of Awards System to yours will be much appreciated. ;)

Hmm I think you have this wrong... this can be used in conjunction w/ that mod if you wish, this way you have a separate need for Awards and Ranks it is so ;). That mod only requires a few updates for example the profile fix listed in the changelog i.e.

Fix for Member Profile Tab by sadiq6210 https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/member.php?u=111268 as shown in YAAS - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2189701&postcount=742

Was made before this was released, special thanks to sadiq for helping so many in the Awards mod eh? Round of Applause indeed :cool:. So you see if you spend a few minutes and use Sadiq's fix you can have yours working on 4.1.3 and below, I'm not sure if it works on 4.1.4 as I simply have not tested, if so please post... so far one says no.

If the answer to NarutoFTW Q is no, then a converter from 3.x or 4.x version of Awards System to yours will be much appreciated. ;)

I believe, from our mods being similar in the past that you should only be required to backup the awards mod tables, then import the product and mark it so it can be overwritten etc and you should then be upgraded, if any issues you may need to import some of the award tables you backed up back into the DB to repopulate the info.

[grey_goose]

How configurable is the position of the ranks? I'd like to redo my usergroup/ranks as just awards, but I'm pretty adamant on how I want my postbit to appear :D and would want the awards to be in the same location. Doable with minor postbit editing?

You should try using the custom css option first before editing any templates (this is located within the rank options, enable by selecting custom then either edit the rank css template or post your modified css you fabricated from the default.css file included and paste within additional.css. That way you could adjust it to suit and perhaps avoid unnecessary template editing by using css alone ;).

Edit: Although for us at one point in time... we displayed ranks correction Awards on the userinfo right location and displayed our military rank just below the avatar and designed to compliment it as well - just a idea if your only showcasing one rank otherwise if a display box containing a few you may not desire such changes or that location specifically, it's up to you :D.

[grey_goose]

*facepalm*

Like "{vb:raw post.userranks}" ?

:D

[grey_goose]

I'm getting some 'extra' info:

[grey_goose]

Fixed that by turning off adding template names as HTML comments.

However, requests don't seem to be working:

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

Confirmed, will release a new version fixing requests/recommend asap although more than likely right after Monday (4th). Anyone else feel free to use the current version and simply restrict those two options in your usergroup settings until the new version is out :cool:.

Are there any differences between this mod and the awards mod other than the wording?

[borbole]

Oh dear, it can not be installed on vbb 4.1.4
When I installed the 4.1.4 database, then it fails, I try to install on localhost, it was like, you can explain ?

It looks like the installer did not add the rank table at your database.

I've only ran this on 4.1.3 and below per the info in the mod description: vB Version: 4.1.3

It shouldn't make any difference at all about the versions, mod database install wise I mean.

After taking a quick look at the xml file I noticed a few things that need correction. For example, at the below install code you have forgotten to include the TABLE_PREFIX part which has been included everywhere else. Because if a user is using a custom prefix at his/her database then it won't work. It will work only if no prefix has been used at all.

<installcode><![CDATA[$db->reporterror = 0;
$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE `rank` CHANGE `rank_desc` `rank_desc` TEXT NOT NULL");
$db->query_write("ALTER TABLE `rank_user` CHANGE `issue_reason` `issue_reason` TEXT NOT NULL");
echo "<font size=\"1\">Alter table - 2.1.4</font><br />";
$db->reporterror = 1;]]></installcode>


Also you are using the depricated font size all over the place. It would be better, coding wise to use <span style instead.

Also it would be better to use:

$vbulletin->db->query_write

instead of:

$db->query_write

Other than that, great mod :)

[TheLastSuperman]

Also it would be better to use:

$vbulletin->db->query_write

I noticed the install code this morning along w/ a few other misc changes, I had not noticed the above ^ ;).

[TheLastSuperman]

Are there any differences between this mod and the awards mod other than the wording?

As far as revisions to code and corrections per Borbole's suggestion above and other misc changes and updates... yes, as far as functionality that would be none. So again, no need to use this unless you have a requirement to give out Awards and Ranks and the ranks should be used in a different manner other than "titles" per say as you already have a rank structure i.e. Administrator/Moderator/Member etc etc :cool:.

[TheLastSuperman]

Can I change the text in this to saw "award" instead of "rank?"

If the coding is cleaner and has some fixes I would prefer to use this.

[TheLastSuperman]

Well... it's not just a simple matter of find/replace as some would think there's many variations i.e.

Award = Rank
Awards = Ranks
award = rank
awards = ranks
aw = ra
au = ru
etc
etc
etc

So it might be easier for you to simply rename a few phrases, in that case most of it would show the wording "Award" or whatever you wish it to say... some areas in admincp may still say Ranks etc but a few changes to the phrases in the xml and you should have something working the only con to that is if you have Awards mod installed atm it might conflict and certainly won't upgrade from a previous Award mod version know what I mean? ;).

the profil menu isnt displayed correctly...??? attachment 1

For the first image, it seems you have a fixed width or your browser was at a certain set size due to screen resolution but the point being once you install so many mods that add tabs your going to run out of room and it will drop the others on a new line. I also assume you have "My Ranks" from this modification and "Ranks" from another mod perhaps a DB Tech mod or something to do w/ ranks as well?

Second image, sure let me see what I can whip up, about to release a update here shortly and will include that information.

Third image I'm assuming is another mod conflicting.. what else do you have installed that interacts with your postbit?

[Maischter]

yep i have fixed width... but i dont have a second rank mod.. i send you a pn with my hacks list!

[Paul K]

For all people having problems with installing the mod (SQL Errors), open up the xml file and search and replace:
TYPE=MyISAM
to
ENGINE=MyISAM

This has to do with MySQL compatibility, the newer MySQL versions DO NOT support TYPE= anymore.

@TheLastSuperman: Please include this in a future update :)

Thanks, good mod!

You've set the permissions correctly for Admins and the usergroup the member is in as well correct? Was this your first, second or third request? What's your minimum time between post set as? Is a member requesting a rank when you have it set to create a new thread or post... is that in a admin only forum? If so then make a new area and only allow normal users to view and not make new post this way no permission issues come up when their userid is used to generate the new thread or post ;).

Ensure you have all the usergroup options set correctly and it's setup in admincp how you wish. If your not on MySQL 5+ then don't enable the points system and everything should work fine.

[grey_goose]

I updated to the current version and did this (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2218286&postcount=817), but still have issues with profile pics not displaying ... ?

[faraz_hamza]

I Fixed that isue by Just putting Forum Id. in Admin control panel, in rank setting.
where the recomended and requestes will be posts

How can i Change RANK word to AWARD or MEDAL ????
is it possible.???

[borbole]

How can i Change RANK word to AWARD or MEDAL ????

That can be done by changing the language phrase/s.

Working Perfect!

Finally man... thank you very much, i was waiting for this long time ago.. :o

[j0k4w1ld]

That can be done by changing the language phrase/s.

where is that?

[TheLastSuperman]

where is that?

You can edit the .xml however if your not experienced doing so it will be better to install, now go to the admincp and search in the phrases i.e.

AdminCP > Languages and Phrases > Phrase Manager

Now search for award or in the top right change the # to show from 15 to 1500 and now you can scroll all the phrases on one page, scroll down until you find those titled award this or that and have at it! ;).

Hi my ranks are not showing up in the profile tab (like my awards are). Also, there is a extra tab floating around but I think that is from your awards MOD... guess I need to ask over that about that bit.

[odie3]

also, when I got my PM the https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/

[TheLastSuperman]

Hi my ranks are not showing up in the profile tab (like my awards are). Also, there is a extra tab floating around but I think that is from your awards MOD... guess I need to ask over that about that bit.

Hmm... that could be the Awards mod itself, I fixed the floating tab when I converted it over to the Ranks mod along with sorting some other things etc etc. - Check out the Awards mod thread for a fix, it's there ;).

also, when I got my PM the tag was missing my web address - it only had [img]images/medals/gd/ranks/usmc-o8.gif

Not sure why that is, have you tried entering in the full url for the image location?

[odie3]

Hi TheLastSuperman,

I'll check the other thread for the "Floating Tab" issue. Not sure if that will correct my ranks not showing up on my Profile but here is additional information: I just gave a rank to a user that I have not assigned any awards to. His profile does not have a floating tab but his rank is showing under the "Rank" tab. Where as mine has a floating tap, my "Awards" are showing but not my "Rank". All related to "floating" tab fix you think? Just thought I pass this along just in case!

Yes, my paths are good, if I add http://ghostdogs.net to the path all is good.
http://ghostdogs.net/images/medals/gd/ranks/usmc-o8.gif

From PM (other than added * to break the img tag here)
Major General
[*img]images/medals/gd/ranks/usmc-o8.gif[*/img]

I added a * to the start/end of the tag - could it because it is missing the starting "/" (Slash)?


*Edit Summary:
Ok, I did the profile updates from the Awards MOD Page.
1. Floating Tab corrected in Profile
2. Missing ranks in Profile corrected

New Issue:
Now I have two tabs for "Awards" and for "Ranks"!

Old issue:
PM does not show rank graphic

[TheLastSuperman]

Sounds like something has become mucked up while you've been trying your best to sort the issues initially encountered.... if you just now installed either mod, it might be best to completely uninstall - afterwords you need to install one at a time, testing each this way you sort any issues in the first one installed before installing the second mod and you can then differentiate between the errors from both ;).

Edit: Also no, with BB Codes it starts as and the contents in between i.e.

[EXAMPLE]Code that interacts w/ BB Code to render properly here so it only needs a ending tag i.e. the / to tell it "Hey we started reading this code now stop reading and show the output on screen" more or less.

[odie3]

Hmm, not sure then. I'll send myself another rank to see what happens.

Oh, after doing the full bits to sort out the "floating tab" in YAAS I still have two tabs for YARS -so I think that fix from that MOD is effecting this one in some way. Because now I am getting my ranks now but getting two tabs (once again only on this MOD not in Awards).


EDIT:
perhaps I misunderstood how that was supposed to work. that's clickable link, when I click it takes me to my rank, which is this: http://ghostdogs.net/ranks.php?do=viewrank&rank_id=38

Ahh do you use any DB Tech mods, anything other mod using the word "Rank" because this mod uses the "My Ranks" wording not "Ranks" so it could possibly be conflicting w/ another mod or vice-versa ;).

Edit: In the xml file the YARS - Profile Tab plugin is disabled, ensure while you were making those edits to your Yet Another Awards System mod due to the double-tabs, that you did not accidentally turn that back on etc.

[odie3]

You nailed it, YARS "YARS - Profile Tab" got enabled. Now I have one tab each both are showing their graphics properly.

The only question is if the Rank Graphic is suppose to show in the PM Message or just be a hyperlink that takes you to the rank.

[Badhabitz]

TheLastSuperman,
Thanks so much for transferring this over, it has been of great use to my community. We had over 200 usergroups with more on the way so we could display different ranks in each of the games we support.

My question is this,we currently use a roster and I could put in this code here {vb:raw userinfo.rank} And it would show up the usergroup ranks images. What code can I put in to display the image ranks from this plugin and possibly even the awards images from the original plugin as well. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

[Delazar]

Hi,

is there a possibility that the medals have to import the users in YAAS to YARS?

[Mobo]

A couple of questions:

1. Is it possible for the system to give out medals based on length of site membership automatically? I'd like to give all my members anniversary medals, but there are too many to check this daily and manually award them.

2. What are the points used for? I assume that as a member is awarded a rank/medal/award, that they get the points associated with those awards. But what do they use those points for?

Thanks!

[MalluParadise]

It's working perfectly in 4.1.6

[odie3]

I have "Unregistered" users requesting Ranks - is there a way to keep Unregistered from doing this?

You can via phpmyadmin however at this time there is no built-in option or "easy button" for that matter :(.

Yes however it will need to be added in at some point in the future ;).

Points, so you can have Ranks and those have points... making it a real Rank system per say... I would imaging a Lt.Col rank would have more points than a Private First Class rank follow? :cool:.

It's working perfectly in 4.1.6

Awesome :D

I have "Unregistered" users requesting Ranks - is there a way to keep Unregistered from doing this?

Usergroup manager, now in the usergroups permissions scroll to the bottom and look for the option, set request to No :cool:.

[SN1PERCITY]

will you be converting this to 4.1.6

[TheLastSuperman]

will you be converting this to 4.1.6

Go up... four posts i.e. post #56 ^

[Capt C Ray]

Ahoy TheLastSuperman,

In reading your description of this add-on, it looks close to what I am looking for, but not quite. The current medal system I have on our site allows our members to nominate other members and add comments as to why they are nominating said member. The admins then approve or dis-approve the medal.
We also have a tab that when clicked on shows al the medals we offer plus who has been awarded them.
Can this add-on be modified to do these same functions?
You may view the medals by visiting our web site http://www.disneypotco.com/phpBB3/index.php and clicking on the medals button.

In the Ranks mod you can:
- Members can recommend Ranks to other members w/ description, then admin approves or pushes through manually after review.
- You can create a new navbar tab to show the Ranks Page, same functionality you want pretty much.

So all-in-all it's actually closer to what you wanted then you realized if I read your request correctly ;).

Do you know how this will function in version 4.1.6?

Best advice I can give to anyone looking to install a mod is, if it's supported and/or has multiple pages of posts it's best advised to skim all the pages and see if any posts about issues or working with certain versions has been stated by the author or other members. Sometimes there are solutions to problems posted as well, for example the profile tab fix in the Yet Another Awards System is not listed in the mod files or mod description yet it exist and you can browse to find it and fix the issue yourself ;). In this case we see that it will work on 4.1.6 and should work on 4.1.7 as well :cool:.

*The reason for the error is simple, as you can see by the second part of your error this "function" was called again because it's defined twice - in short the guys who originally made the Awards mod (which this is a conversion of that) simply copy/pasted the function to suite the mod not taking into affect they should not. I've wrapped it in a simple conditional to check for the function first. Update will be in the next release, in the meantime please edit ranks.php accordingly if you encounter this issue as CharlieDelta has :cool:.

**Also, if your reading this and have the "Yet Another Awards System (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=232684)" installed you should do this same exact edit in awards.php

[CharlieDelta]

Thank you Superman!! That did the trick!!

[CharlieDelta]

My ranks are not showing up in the profile tab. I see that you mentioned in an earlier post that there is most likely a fix for it over at the awards mod. I have searched through there and all the fixes that I have found you already implemented. I must be missing something?????
I do not have two tabs or a ghost tab just no content.
I see Odie3 got his working, hmmmm......

i have had the same problem so this is what i did:
Since i use the ranks for my clan members only and they can only have 1 rank at a time; i disabled the following in the Plugin Manger:

YARS in Member Profile - Cache Templates
YARS in Member Profile - Init
YARS in Member Profile - Profile

I also replaced $vbphrase[rank_description] the text "Description" with "Rank Duties"
And sme rank settings: userinfo_left and style 3 so that it just uses the icon. Disabled the image in the display. So no need to upload an image - just an icon.

This will disable the tab in your profiles but keep the postbit intact. Just make sure your postbit i set to at least 1 and it is active.

Thanks for the input Viper.:up: This may come in handy in the future.
I was able to get everything working as it should. I think there must have been some code missing in the awards mod. I re-edited the templates and plugins as described on the thread by another user and that seemed to do the trick.

More than likely it's due to your PHP version i.e. 5.3.x for now simply edit ranks.php and find:

$bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

Replace with:

$bbcode_parser = new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

Save & re-upload the file, error should be gone, it's the =& that's causing all the fuss :p.

Make subscriptions for points. and allow it to change thier usergroup to allow for awards. its limited on what it can do but could be a start.

Since in our current forum we do not use ranks, I would like to be able to change the tab to say "MEDALS" instead of "RANKS". And the are a couple other places where "rank" is used that I would like to change to "medals".

How would I go about doing this. Am new at working with vBulletin, so I have a lot to learn when it comes to working in the code and where to look for things.

Thanks

why don't you uninstall this mod and install this one (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=232684). It might be what you are looking for.

[Sym]

Let's say I want to change the bit on the navbar to say "Badges" instead of "ranks". Can that be done, and if so, how?

[Mobo]

Yes, it can be done. You will need to search in Phrases via the ACP for "Ranks" and replace it with whatever you would like. It might take you a few tries to find the phrase that controls the menu tab, but it is easy to figure out.

[Sym]

Hmm, I tried doing that, but the words "ranks" just vanished instead.

Also, just a suggestion: We should be a able to set an expiration time on ranks.

[Mobo]

sorry, missed that you replied to this thread. Do you still need help with this?

[Mobo]

@ TheLastSuperman

If your still updating this mod, would you consider adding a feature that would post a new thread in forum X when someone received a rank/award? One pretty much just like the thread that is start when someone requests/recommend a rank. I would you this to draw attention to all the members that one of them got a rank/award. I think it would help engage more people on the site to do activities that earned them ranks/awards by seeing their fellow members getting them publicly.

[Mobo]

Something else that would be very helpful would be to put the "Grant" portion of the request in the PM or post that is sent to the admin. Would keep us from having to log into the ACP just to approve a Rank.

[Sym]

Yeah, still having the same issue. I can't seem to figure it out.

[Mobo]

Sym, do a phrase search on "ranks" and it should be one of the Global settings that show up. When you click on edit, you need to add the new name you want in the box at the bottom (highlighted in red in my image below).

I am actually using the Awards version of this mod, so everywhere in my image that it says "awards", just know you should see "ranks".

Hope this helps some more and Happy Holidays!

[Bluefin221]

Out of interest, can you give the same award to a member say 30 times and it will say plus 30 awards?

For example I run a tournament which is the same tournament and instead of constant new awards I'd like to use the same one, but if someone wins the tournament twice can I issue them that same award again? again?

[Mobo]

If you issue them the same award, the award will be displayed for each time you assign it to someone. If you are just wanting to have the "Tourny A" award displayed once for each user, but want it to some how indicate that that person has played in Tourny A ten times, you would have to edit the issue reason for that person. Then it would only show up on their Awards tab (on their profile page).

What I have done on my site (http://www.wingsofwar.org/forums/showthread.php?8058-Buffing-a-few-2-seaters&p=115255#post115255) is to have most of my awards (we call them medals) done up in sets of four:

Base Medal

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


Bronze Medal

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/02/20.png


Silver Medal

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/02/21.png


Gold Medal

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/02/22.png


I can then just replace the medal with the next highest version of it. So, for your Tourny award, you could set the Base award at 1 tournament, Bronze at 5 tournaments, and so on depending on how high you need to go.

Hope this helps some.

[Bluefin221]

Well, I will be issuing caps as its for a FIFA forum www.fpcforums.com I'm actually looking to edit the display in postbit so it displays the exact same way as ranks do, I haven't had time though, were 3 weeks old and its a busy site already.

Anyway, there are guys who will play many times for their country some 40 times etc and I want to just issue them with the same medal 40 times as a cap if that makes sense.

[Cledus James]

The Awards mod you have installed is causing this issue, click on My Ranks... now notice how a new tab titled "Awards" is also shown yet before it was not?

Now view my profile here: http://www.innovationbyinstinct.com/members/michael.html

*I'm disabling the mod shortly so hurry up and confirm what I'm saying by clicking ;).

As you can see there is no issue, in fact I ensured before releasing this to include Sadiq's fix listed in the Awards mod thread into the Ranks mod therefor the issue cannot and is not caused by the Yet Another Ranks Mod :cool:.

[Mobo]

No, he is saying that the issue is in the YAAS coding, not his. You will need to apply the fix for that to the YAAS coding. I would suggest that you disable the YARS product, fix the YAAS product and then re-enable YARS.

You could also confirm that it is YAAS by disabling it and seeing if your My Ranks tab works correctly then.

[Bluefin221]

Ok, I need to be able to issue the same award multiple times, basically as many as I want for the same rank and have it only display once on the postbit, I don't want to have to edit the reason as that still only means one rank, as I award caps for representing your country then people can represent their country many times, but I cannot currently issuing them a rank each time as that means they could potentially have 40 ranks all on the postbit. Also we play tournaments and teams could potentially win a tournament twice so again I would like to issue them with the same rank and it only display once.

Is this possible and if so how do I make it so?

[Bisha]

How to move the Rank Menu down from Admin Panel?

[Mobo]

Michael, if you ever look at expanding this mod, one thing that I think might be very useful is an "Upgrade Rank/Award Level" feature.

On my site, almost all of my medals have four levels, Base, Bronze, Silver and Gold

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/08/120.pnghttps://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/02/20.pnghttps://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/02/21.pnghttps://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/02/22.png

The ability to easily upgrade a user from one level to the next would be every handy. As it is now, you have to remove the current medal and issue the new one separately.

[elwizard]

Nice one this! Let me try it. Perfect for me. Thanks a lot.

[dog-tag]

Can this mod give out ranks on auto pilot or does admin need to give out each rank?

[Mobo]

I don't think this mod does auto awards, but the Yet Another Awards System has an automated function. It's a bit limited and there are no directions for setting it up really... or documentation on it. It may or may not do what you want it too.

Thanks In Advance !

They are pretty much the same and can be used interchangeably as well as can be used together. YARS is a little better supported and has one of the bugs fixed in the base code that YAAS does not. Both can use any type of icon or pic. YAAS does have an "automation" future, but it is not documented, supported or overly useful in it's functions.

I currently use YAAS, but if I was just starting out, I'd use YARS.

[Patriots1049]

Is there a way to change the number of awards in the showcase in user profile???

[KGodel]

Just switched over from YAAS and am glad I did. Are there plans to also port the automation?

Also, if this is actively being improved maybe, some great features might be the ability to chose where to display awards separate for each category, so maybe you have different types of awards (medals, trophies, etc) that you want to appear different places in posts or on the profile. Also, maybe the ability to have active awards that don't display on the awards page. Anyhow thanks, and marked as installed!

[DannyV]

How can I give permissions to certain users to add medals/categories, without giving them full access in vbulleting ?

[Mobo]

I've not tried it, but you might have to setup a new usergroup and give them Admin rights, then adjust the permission they have as Admin.

[ElfenLied1337]

Considering switching over from YAAS because this mod seems to be better supported. However, I have been using YAAS for some time now and have already given out a lot of awards--is there any way to import them from YAAS to YARS?

[Mukashi]

Hmmm. Just had a bit of an error in the installation of the mod which looks a bit unusual. Was complaining about class_core.php for some reason. I didn't catch exactly what it said, it flashed by too quick, but I know we do have a modified class_core.php thanks to Paul M's proxy IP mod. Anything to be concerned about there?

I don't think there is. There might be a way to do it if you export the database table "award_user" and then re-import it into the corresponding YARS table (not sure what that one is since I don't have it installed).

It didn't take me long to move everything over from YAAS. I'm hoping the developer of YARS will implement some new features or something cool. :P

[Bluefin221]

I'm having issues with the postbit, the system is functioning normally but not the way I want. I will try to explain what it is I'm after properly.

If you look at the postbit of the user in this post: http://www.fpcforums.com/forums/f6/vesuvius-see-you-guys-fifa-13-3-a-872/#post10149

You will see he has a few medals already, however where my problem occurs is that he has two caps for his country currently issued these display on the postbit each time, so he has the same medal twice, my issue with this is this member currently had 8 caps as he has played for his country 8 times, this will continue to grow, he could potentially play 3 matches per month home and away which is 6 caps per month, add this over a year and this member could have 72 medals, obviously I do not want 72 medals showing on the postbit as that would be ridiculous, so how do I show the same medal only once?

I want individual medals to show once but I can issue it as many times as I want and it updates his medals total, I have tried a few times to edit the code but have wrecked it each time, can anyone possibly help me as currently I cannot issue users the awards with the way its currently working. I would really appreciate any help anyone can give.

[Mobo]

You would have to custom code something like that as this product will not support it as is. I'm not sure, but I think that would require an extensive re-write of the code.

How many times can a player get the same cap?

Also, have you tried just limiting the number of medals shown on the post bit and letting the rest of them display only in the user's profile tab? That way you could control how many show on the postbit and still have the total count reflect the greater number (also in the postbit as you have it now).

I think an if condition could just be added to the ranks_postbit_display just not sure how I should do it, I tried a couple of variations and ruined the display.

I also did limit the awards that how however I have an extensive list of awards if you have a look: http://www.fpcforums.com/forums/ranks.php

The problem is if I limit it to one medal then that is not great as members want to see there award, but if I limit it to two then some users only have caps and that would display twice so that is also an issue. I need to do something though as I have currently 18 countries listed that will play with players needing caps, at 11 players each time currently thats 198 members not issued with awards because of this current problem I have. And since some have played 4/5 games you can imagine how many awards are to be issued.

[Mobo]

Besides doing the custom coding, I think you may be stuck with just displaying the top X rated medals on the post bit and letting rest stay on the profile tab.

Another thought that might work for you and be easier to code. Have you thought about using YARS to show your highest ranked medals in the postbit, and then use a modified YAAS to display your Cap medals in the signature area? The Sig area has more room, so could display more Cap medals. I think you might be able to modify that with the hook location (but I've not checked it out, just thinking out loud really).

[Mobo]

I just took a quick look, and you can put them in the Sig area with a setting in YAAS, so no code modification needed for that.

[Bluefin221]

I just took a quick look, and you can put them in the Sig area with a setting in YAAS, so no code modification needed for that.

I don't want hundreds of medals in my sig area either, I want to be able to issue the same medal as many times as I like but it only shows once.

[Mobo]

Sounds like you are set on modifying this code or writing your own then. If you don't have the coding skills, check out vWorker.com (http://www.vworker.com/). I've hired coders off of there several times with good results.

I've actually worked with this one coder on several vB4 projects and have always been happy with this work:

Separating the ranks by category within the postbit, is it possible?

How to this?
Exemple image:

[Mobo]

I'm not sure if you can do that with just this Mod, but I think if you used both YARS and YAAS, they would be separated by default... again, I think. You would use one of the Mods to handel your Badges and the other to handle the Medals.

Yes, same error occurs.

[Mobo]

Humm, not sure what it is. Do you get any errors when you recommend a rank for someone? The next step would be to disable all of your other mods and turn them back on one at a time checking to see if the issue is there or not. That will narrow it down to either being caused by a conflict with another mod or not.

[EasyEazy]

I had this issue. the way around it was in this setting:

Submission: Rank Submissions PM Username

Enter your forum username. Not sure if it will work for anyone else though.

Thank you very much man. That worked. One more question though, is there a way to get rid of the rank requests after I 'grant' them. After I grant the award, I have to manually delete the request.

Yes they are separated by default... everything "awards" or "award" or "a" or "au" was replaced in all the coding so there should be no conflicts HOWEVER some tend to become confused and see some of the issues with the Awards mod (not sure if they have updated it yet) for example the messed up profile tab and assume it's this mod conflicting yet it's not ;). So your more than welcome to run both however if you have any issues with the Awards mod please post for support in that thread :cool:.

Is there a way to centre the ranks as the display out of line unless they are all done by same graphic person, which is not possible at times. Would appreciate any help, searched the thread but cannot find anything related.

[MarceloS]

Looks like a good alternative to YAAS.

(1) Does this one have automated ranks? Like "when user gets to 100 posts, give rank x"

(2) Is it possible to choose a custom position to display the ranks on postbit?

Thanks.

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.

You need to view the file "Default CSS Data.txt" within the .zip, make sure you have the correct layout chosen then add the matching css to your additional.css file and adjust to suite.

Style 1 is supposed to have the legend, are you saying it's not within your default style when using style 1 option or are you running a custom style where something might be conflicting? I'm assuming it was not showing becuase there was no ranks.css file present, adding to additional.css file should sort this though.

Well at first it would read as if it was not connecting and/or you have incorrect config.php info however seeing as the forum works and this works minus the error I'm unsure unless you're on PHP 5.5 already but 5.5.0 released in June your post was from March and I know your host was not running a 5.5 release candidate so I'm unsure. It has been a while since I've had time to reply here so if your still running this and the issue is present let me know.

mysql_insert_id() is deprecated (http://php.net/manual/en/function.mysql-insert-id.php) in php 5.5.0+ that is why it came to mind but again post date makes me think it was something else at the time.

how can i align styel 1 to center?

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2013/08/2.jpg

}

Hmm apparenty there is an issue with the css from ranks_css.css running properly I just confirmed that so look for a fix on the next version.

To sort the issue your having simply paste this in additional.css template:

/* Rank System CSS Start */
/* Style 1 */
.ranks_fieldset {
padding-left: 4px;
border: 1px solid rgb(15, 16, 19);
color:#FF0000 !important;
}
.ranks_fieldset a {
color:#FF0000 !important;
}
.ranks_fieldset a:hover {
color:#FF4400 !important;
}

*However you don't need to add all of those i.e.
- ranks_fieldset simply changes normal fonts within to red (#FF0000) for example the colons and the counts : 1
- ranks_fieldset a changes the links to whatever colors you want. ranks_fieldset a:hover compliments the previous making the hover effect show a new color now as well.

Try re-downloading the modification then uploading the files again. In the rank settings do you have the points system enabled, if so and it's not in awards then disable it the same.

Only thing that comes to mind now is... if you're running php 5.3 this could be related to deprecated values, I have not updated this recently as they did with the Awards system it's one version behind in a sense.

yes, this could be the problem, we run on PHP Version 5.3.3-7+squeeze17

If I add the last box to one of the YARS templates I can do this much, but there is still a huge space that isn't acceptable. I wish that I knew how to put the images in the postbit legacy template anywhere I wanted.

There has to be a way to fix this. Any help is greatly appreciated. I've approached this one problem in so many ways now, but none of them completely work. :(

Is there any way to have the awards showed up in their different categories and not all together? I have medals and ribbons and would like both categories to appear.

Please help me with this below:

Warning: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated in ..../admincp/rank_version_info.php on line 49

Warning: Function ereg_replace() is deprecated in ..../admincp/rank_version_info.php on line 51

I'm also getting this message when requesting and recommending ranks:

Something unexpected has happened, your rank request cannot be sent at this time. Please contact a site administrator for assistance.


I have already made sure the permissions in my usergroups were good. The request and recommendation do go through and we can grant their request via admincp. Everything is working fine BUT users always get that message when requesting or recommending which results in them requesting it multiple times because of that error. Little do they know that their initial request did go through! I've gone through everything mentioned HERE (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=2220077&postcount=825) as well.

Any help please?

What is your vBulletin version? What is your mysql version (if you have the points system part of YARS enabled this matters otherwise disable it).

If you're running 4.2.2 have you tried adding in the code to not show errors? http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum/vbulletin-announcements/vbulletin-announcements_aa/4000121-vbulletin-4-2-2-full-has-been-released?p=4000466#post4000466

This mod has not been updated like YAAS has, you can install and run YAAS instead of YARS and name it what you want by simply changing some phrase unless of course you want to run both.

I am running mySQL: 5.1.73 and yes I do have VB 4.2.2

I have disabled the points system as well as added in the code given on the link you provided.

It still showing up with that message :(

First I want to say what a nice product this is that helps us show appreciation to many well-deserving members on our forum. :cool:

We run vB 4.2.2 PL2, with PHP 5.4.35 and MySQL 5.1.73-cll.

We hold end of the year voting for our awards in roughly 17 categories. I would like for our users to be able to retain their past awards in their profiles, but only have the awards from the most recent voting year be displayed in their postbits.

I have found a way to do this using a CSS attribute selector to hide any awards with "2013" in their title attributes, and then a short script in the postbit_legacy template to then hide any resulting empty "Awards" elements (as it may be possible that someone who won awards last year may not win any this year).

This is inefficient though, and I was just wondering if there is a way to do this by modifying the options for this product in the AdminCP. I did not see any way to do it this way, and so I am prepared with the "bandaid" I described above until I can find a better and permanent way to accomplish my goal.

If not, then I suppose my only option would be to hack the plugin(s). :D

System working correctly but keep getting the below 2 errors when issuing awards.

Any idea on how to address them?


Warning: mysql_insert_id() [function.mysql-insert-id]: Access denied for user 'nobody'@'localhost' (using password: NO) in [path]/admincp/rank.php on line 594

Warning: mysql_insert_id() [function.mysql-insert-id]: A link to the server could not be established in [path]/admincp/rank.php on line 594

Hey everyone, having the same issue but no fix was ever provided. I am working on a site running vb 3.8.8 Patch Level 1 running Yet Another Award System v2.1.4 with php 5.5.30, mysql 5.6.28.

Any help resolving this error would be awesome!

It is, that must be a typo.
