Medals/Awards System

[Darren Evans]

I've looked before posting this and didn't find anything close to what I would like to implement. So, here goes...

I would like to have a system to award multiple awards (be it ribbons, medals, etc...) to my users that would be displayed as small graphic files under their username and avatar.

Ideally, this would only be done as an administrative tool, but I think moderators or privys could be granted to give awards.

This is beyond my programming capabilities, and if done, I think this would be a popular hack. :)

[Lesane]

You could use this hack:

and instead of using contributor u can put your own code in the template thats gonna be displayed under the username/avatar of the users.

[Darren Evans]

Yeah, I've been referred to that hack before, but it only gives one award.

Basically, what I want is to have more than one award awarded to a user. In the Admin area, I want to be able to select check boxes to display the awards that the user has earned:

Example:

Mark has earned the following awards:

[ ] Award 1 [ ] Award 2 [ ] Award 3 [ ] Award 4

The the database calls up the award IDs and displays the small award pictures under the avatar.

In this forum i seen someone said they were going to be making this dont know what happened.

What about making a user group and in that usertitle the img code for the image just a thought ;)

[Darren Evans]

Hmmmmm..... I thought this would be a popular hack idea. :(

[Steve Machol]

Actually I think it's a great idea! Kinda like handing out 'Merit Badges'. I'd definitely like to see something like this.

[black]

I think its a great idea also..

I Have an award forum on my site i will love this.

[Lesane]

I will give it a try :)

the admin section is already finished.

I added a new table called award with the tables name & url. Thats for the award name and graphic url.

U can add new awards in the admin and edit them and remove them, thats already done.

Now i gonna focus on the user page.

Any suggestions and comments are welcome :)

Lesane,

Thanks for taking this on! Looks great so far. :)

[Darren Evans]

Suggestion/Request:

My particular site will be using small ribbon pics as the displayed awards. These awards are also in order of precedence, therefore, I suggest that a unique ID be entered in the award's table for the final display output.

As far as the output display in the member name column, I would like them show 3 or 4 in row, rows being broken and returned.

Example:

Username
Avatar
[medal1] [medal2] [medal3]
[medal4] [medal5] [medal6]
[medal7] [medal8] [medal9]

This is sweet

[slideboxer]

I'm excitedly looking forward to this hack. Thank you.

[Lesane]

The hack is almost done :)

@Darren Evans, an unique id will be used and a template will be used for the awards/medals with 2 variables $award[name] and $award[url] so you are free to display them whatever you want them to be displayed :up:

[Darren Evans]

Lesane.... you rock! :D

[RoC-RTCWCentral]

I just wanted to put my two cents in and say I can hardly wait for this. Great job Lesane!!

[Darren Evans]

Here is what I am hoping that this hack will acheive.

Lesane, how is progress going? :)

[Lesane]

Yes, thats possible.

About the progress, i'm fighting with those checkboxes :) I hope its done within these days. I cant hardly wait for the hack 2 ..hehe

[Darren Evans]

Thanks for the update. :)

[Lesane]

I'm almost done with the hack. I gonna start with the instructions/documentation now.

I attached a screenshot of the users page(where you can edit the users profile), as you can see is Lesane Award selected and that award will be displayed in the postbit. I also added an option to Enable awards for an user or not.

[slideboxer]

Sweet, I'm counting the minutes, Lesane. Thanks alot.

[Lesane]

Aight its done, it works perfect on my board. I hope its gonna work perfect aswell by the rest ;)

U can expect the hack soon in the Beta Hack's Forum :up:

[Lesane]

After testing the hack succesfully on 2 boards i decided to put the hack in the Full Releases forum :up: :)

[Darren Evans]

Thanks again Lesane! :)

Again, how do I go about lining them up 3 abreast in order by precedence? See my pic in above post.

[Lesane]

U could do that by using only <img src="$awardsp[url]" alt="$awardsp[name]"> in the awards template. Then it will display all the awards near eachother without the name, however the way u want it u need to add $post[hasaward] between <td> </td> in the postbit.

Example to put in the postbit instead of $post[hasaward]:

<td width="100" valign="middle" nowrap>$post[hasaward]</td>

U probably must change the width...

[Darren Evans]

Lesane, I haven't tried the suggestion yet, but won't that just line up the medals horizontally instead of vertically... all in a line?

I need it to do that, but break after the third award.


[award] [award] [award] <br>
[award] [award] [award] <br>
[award] [award] [award] <br>

[Lesane]

I thought it could be done by templates, if all the awards have the same sizes then u can do it what i above said with <td> but thats the hard way.

The easy way:

Open admin/functions.php

Find:

// awards/medals/cards hack by lesane

if ($post[award]=="1")
{
$result=$DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM useraward WHERE userid='$post[userid]' AND awardsid=aw ");
while ($awardsp=$DB_site->fetch_array($result))
{
eval("\$post[hasaward] .= \"".gettemplate("awards")."\";");

}
}

// awards/medals/cards hack by lesane

And change it to:

// awards/medals/cards hack by lesane

if ($post[award]=="1")
{
$result=$DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM useraward WHERE userid='$post[userid]' AND awardsid=aw ");
$count=0;
while ($awardsp=$DB_site->fetch_array($result))
{
if ($count%3=="2") {
$rule="<br>";
} else {
$rule="";
}
eval("\$post[hasaward] .= \"".gettemplate("awards")."\";");
$count++;
}
}

// awards/medals/cards hack by lesane

Open the template: awards

Replace all code with this code:

<img src="$awardsp[url]" alt="$awardsp[name]">$rule

That should work :cool:

[Darren Evans]

Lesane,

That works perfect. :D I just need to fix it now so there is a small space between the medals:

http://www.bombs-away.net/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=5095

[Lesane]

Glad its working :D

To put a space between every award u can use &nbsp;

Like this in the awards template:

<img src="$awardsp[url]" alt="$awardsp[name]">&nbsp;$rule

I cannot locate a headinsert template in my new vBulletin 2.2.4 software to modify for the Awards hack. Essentially, I can create the Award and it's graphic in the admincp, and can see the new section when I attempt to ADD a New User from the admincp, but I can't every add one to an existing user. Most everything else with the installation of the hack went well. What am I missing (besides finding the headinsert template) that controls the adding a an Award to a user? I also don't see the option as a Mod even though I installed all the mod options in the 1.2 version. Help
