[colicab-d]

You just got yourself an install bud :)

[Polo]

Nice! Abe1, will install ;)

[Mike11212]

Ohh I like this.

But let me see if I got this right.

Basically people can award someone for their post.

Example someone post a question and someone replies. They can reward the person that replied with an award. If so I will install this and change the gif to accepted answer.

[solboy]

This is great :)
How about an award for Member of the month?

Nice hack thanks

Post Award Hack version 1.0

This hack will allow you award posts. It will give you an option to add or remove the award. It will show a rosette on a post that has been awarded. Also, you can search from a users profile for all his award posts.

Note:Right now, only an admin can see the option to add or remove an award. But, the security in the PHP allows all users who can moderate that forum use the option. So, basically, if a moderator finds out the link, there will be nothing from stopping him from using it, but regular users will get an error. I did this so you only have to edit the templates to get more then just the admin without having to edit the php.

Files to upload: 2 (one php and one gif)
Files to edit: Zero
Templates to add: Zero
Templates to edit: Two mandatory and one optional.
Queries to run: One
Time to install: Less then 5 minutes.

Right now the feature list is small. I?ll try to add any requests you guys have.

Please click ?install? if you use it.

Please post feedback as this is my first big hack.
Kind of an original idea, and I like it. Good job.

hmmm i might have use for this.. :)

This is a great hack, however there are two phrases missing with the install that you may want to put in there. :p

added_award
removed_award

They go under the category front-end redirect messages.

There is no need for phrases right now. I most-probably will implement them in next version.

Example someone post a question and someone replies. They can reward the person that replied with an award. If so I will install this and change the gif to accepted answer.
Only admins see the 'add' or 'remove' award link right now. If a regular member finds out the link, he will get an error and wont be able to use it. If you'd like to let super mods also use the awards or all moderators, I can give you change if you want.

[Mellow]

Any possible way this could be modified for use as a post/voting hack?

If the rose could end up being a counter, if every member had the option to increase (vote) the counter or decrease (un-vote) the counter, this could be used in my forums as I have a weekly caption contest. If each member could vote on a post they like then, by the end of the week you could see who had the highest number of votes for that thread.

This is a great hack but might spawn another one........

[wrongful]

There is no need for phrases right now. I most-probably will implement them in next version.Before I added the phrases in my install, everytime I added an award I would get the "phrase added_award not found" error when it redirected back to the post.

No clue. I don't use any phrases. But I'll look into this.

Also as a side note, somebody keeps on visiting award.php, nobody should even know of this page yet i see the person on it in online.php, who is it, why is he there? and how did he get there? lol :p

No clue. Award.php only has the sql querys for this hack. In next version I'll try to send a person to index.php if someone trys to access it.

[Blackbeard]

just an idea, iam going to add this just might want to make it a bronze, silver and gold award system, might work

[pjdaley]

can you name the award? for example lets say you have a question that needs to be asnwered... who ever asnwers it wins. Can you name the award like, Winner of the Winning Answer Award, or the Winning answer Award... or whatever i want to call it, but then have another award and call it something esle...

[Roms]

Nice hack, THX :)

[snyx]

what about changing the color of the thread title in forumdisplay as well, or maybe a special icon? you don't know its an award thread until you click into it.

[Roms]

Works great Thx. :)

it would be nice of mods could use it.. ;)

In the changes I said to make in the postbits,
Find:$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == '6'Replace with:can_moderate($forum[forumid], '', $bbuserinfo[userid])I didn't test it.

hello i make this with all moderatorgroups but when the click the "Add Award" Button they get ALL a "no permission Site"

You have to explain your problem a little more.

Please make sure you copy what has to go into template 'postbit' was copied correctly.

Interesting item :) I might consider using this if I can find a very good use for it.

whoops *looks embarressed* forgot to run the query :x

[speddy]

this is strange

i have added the hack no problems

i add an award however the image does not show.

yes i have placed it into the images/misc folder as stated

i duuno why it dont show

That was a problem I was having, but I figured mine out. I have a custom skin installed, so I had to add the award image to the customskin/misc folder...it worked flawlessly :)

* turbidblue clicks install!

[TTG]

Useful .. all members will now be wanting an award :)

Clicked install

[ambrosious]

In the changes I said to make in the postbits,

So, that would let my, say "Supporters" group give awards, if I wanted... I just change the magic "7" to the appropriate number...

Is that right?

Yes. That's it.

[Lionel]

It would be nice to be able to run a query to select all awarded posts and display them on a page as "Editor's Pick". Does anyone know how to run such a query?

[bonnmac]

i installed it and on half of my skink the img dose not show up the other half they do what could be the problem??

[theArchitect]

There is no need for phrases right now. I most-probably will implement them in next version.
Is it possible to add the facility to search for awarded posts. I know that one can view the awarded posts from within a users profile, but if someone logs on to the forum, could they search for all awarded posts rather than for latest posts etc?

[Lionel]

surely someone can help me with that simple add-on. I started but it is pulling only the latest award. I'd like to be able to display a list of the awards, as per image.

[Abe1]

I would like that same thing also. I am working on it. I think I have it all figured out already. Were do you think I should make a link for such an action?

[Abe1]

[theArchitect]

If you mean what I think you mean, I would just create a link under search just below Advanced Search. Admins can then move the vB option to somewhere else on their navbar if they don?t like it there.

[Abe1]

Version 1.1 Released. Get it in the first post.

[Lionel]

If you mean what I think you mean, I would just create a link under search just below Advanced Search. Admins can then move the vB option to somewhere else on their navbar if they don?t like it there.

this is nice... Can you make it

A-pull showpost.php instead to display that individual post?

B-Make it display the post title if any instead of the thread thread title.

I will definitely use yours, but look at what I managed to come up with (can't explain how)

edit... never mind... it does... thanks.

[Lionel]

I love it... If I wanted to customize that search template, I should copy the search template into a new template searchawards and alter that one right?

Then I would change the line

eval(print_standard_redirect('search'));

tio reflect the new template. Correct?

[Lionel]

I'll be happy just to customize that line as per image

[Abe1]

I'll be happy just to customize that line as per image
I noticed that also. I didn't look much into it. I'm going to look into it what I have time. I'd love to get the award pic there.

[teksigns]

I would like to be able to leave a award note with each one that i give
and have it appear under the award in the post .....

is this Possible ?

[Lionel]

wonder if that could be done with preg_replace?

*theArchitect clicks install*.

Great hack. It will really help our less regular users to make the most of their forum viewing time.

[theArchitect]

Is there anything that should stop one from giving other user groups the power to give awards. I tried to alter the conditionals but must either being doing something wrong or am missing something. Here is the recoded if statement I am using:
<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=='5' OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=='6' OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=='7'">
<if condition="$post[award]=='0'">&nbsp;
<a href="award.php?$session[sessionurl]do=award&postid=$post[postid]">Add Award</a>
<else />&nbsp;<a href="award.php?$session[sessionurl]do=award_remove&postid=$post[postid]">Remove Award</a>
</if>
</if>

<else />&nbsp;<a href="award.php?$session[sessionurl]do=award_remove&postid=$post[postid]">Remove Award</a>
</if>
</if>
In the php I stop anyone who isn't a moderator of that forum form giving an award.

[Lionel]

In postbit this is how I handled it:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=='6'">
<if condition="$post[award]=='0'">&nbsp;
<a href="award.php?$session[sessionurl]do=award&postid=$post[postid]">Select for Editor's Pick</a>
<else />&nbsp;<a href="award.php?$session[sessionurl]do=award_remove&postid=$post[postid]">Remove Editor's Pick</a>
</if>
</if>

just like you, but for one group and that works

try putting $condition= in front of the other groups

[Lionel]

wonder if that could be done with preg_replace?

in search.php

find:

$displayUsers = implode(" $vbphrase[or] ", $display['users']);

under it put:

$award="mytest"; //or whatever just to create the condition

then in search_results template, after:

<phrase 1="$searchtime">$vbphrase[search_took_x_seconds]</phrase>
</span>

put in

<if condition="$award"><img src="images/misc/rosette.gif"> <else />

and before the close of the </td>

you close the condition

</if>

you can put whatever you want next to image

[Lionel]

looks much better if you place the conditional as a <tr>......</else> right at the start of the table

[Abe1]

Thanks Lionel. Will do as soon as I have time.

[yinyang]

In the changes I said to make in the postbits,
Find:$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == '6'Replace with:$bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == '6' OR $bbuserinfo['usergroupid'] == '7'

i wanted to let only admins, mods and supermods give awards so i did this:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=='6' OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=='7' OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=='5'">

but it won't let them add awards. says "user has no permission" page when they click on add award.

they can see the "add award", they just can't perform the function because they don't have permission.

suggestions?

[Lionel]

try it with OR condition= instead of OR $bbuser...

The forums they moderate.

[Lionel]

To replace the navbits, that displays 'Search Results', in search.php I added the bold between:

// add to the navbits
$navbits[''] = $vbphrase['search_results'];
if ($award !=""){
$navbits[''] = 'Editor\'s Pick';
}
$templatename = 'search_results';


Replace Editor's Pick with whatever you want


in search.php

find:

$displayUsers = implode(" $vbphrase[or] ", $display['users']);

under it put:

$award="mytest"; //or whatever just to create the condition

then in search_results template, after:

<phrase 1="$searchtime">$vbphrase[search_took_x_seconds]</phrase>
</span>

put in

<if condition="$award"><img src="images/misc/rosette.gif"> <else />

and before the close of the </td>

you close the condition

</if>

you can put whatever you want next to image

I have the same Problem as yinyang! I tried all Examples here but no one works. Moderators can the the "ADD AWARD" Button, but they have no Permission to add one!

I am having a problem with my moderators. They can't add awards. As I understand they only should have permission to add awards in forums to which they are assigned, but at the moment they can't even do that.

I should note that they are not only assigned to a forum but have Moderator as their Primary user group. Do secondary user groups affect this? Because all of them have secondary groups.

Also, is it possible to change the award permissions so that staff can award outside their allotted forums?

I'm sure it is. I'll see what I can do.



any idea when you might do this ?

[mhobelsb]

Is it possible to "bind" the award to the user and not to a post?

If a user got´s an award, the award picture is always shown. Not only on the awarded post. If i klick on the award picture i searches for all the awarded posts the user gots. But if he recieved one award the picture will always be there (till someone removes all of his awards of course)

would be great.

thank you for that great hack

Works perfectly. Already clicked install.

My only note is that vbAdvanced CMPS users (or others with front end 'portals' that are in a lower directory) will need to make a simple change to the navbar template edit, just adding '$vboptions[bburl]/' before the search link so that the link is valid from any part of the site.

Really great though, this is exactly what they were after. Now I just need to finish up the other 900 things they want. ;)

--edit--

Just had a thought. How hard would it be to add something to this that could act as a CMPS (or general purpose) module that could display awarded posts on the front page (in part with a link probably) as a featured post sort of deal? I'm explaining that poorly, but it would be great to be able to show, say, single posts selected randomly from those awarded with this hack in the past X days (where X is definable somewhere) on the front page.

Just to clarify, the search for awarded posts simply lists out ALL the awarded posts ?

Or can a search ( like normal vb search ) actually be done and only shows results which have the 'awarded post' status ?

Or can a search ( like normal vb search ) actually be done and only shows results which have the 'awarded post' status ?
Right now, will only search all awarded posts. Maybe in the future I'll some more feature. Right now now I'm working on my other hack called 'Post Thank You Hack' (it's in the beta section).

Excellent idea. I'll be installing this over the weekend. :D

This hack is VB 3.05 compatiable.

Great job Abe1! Very original. This is the kind of hack that other coders are probably kicking themselves in the butt and saying "now why didn't I think of that?" :) Your hacks are always well thought out and planned, and you always go the extra mile to include the small details (which make a big differance). You're a very good coder! Thank you for all of your hard work. We really appreciate it :)

The install went fine for me, but i get an vb error when I try to add an award that say "cannot find phrase added_award" This phrase doesn't exist in phrase manager...did I miss adding some phrases?

Fixed...I added the phrase manually and all is good (I still think I missed something)...anyway...nice hack, Thanks!

I would. It doesn't look like they did a very good job of making that style. They are responcible for correcting it :)
