I downloaded this and it seems to work, except there is no way to request awards. How do we get the request awards portion to work?

permissions in the usergroups.

Well, it is set so admin can request awards, however I don't see any place to actually request the award. What am I missing?

Awards List: Display Request Award Link
Do you want to show Request Award link in Awards list page

Yes No

This setting in the Award System Settings.

Awards List: Display Request Award Link
Do you want to show Request Award link in Awards list page

Yes No

Is set to yes, yet still don't see where to request them. Sorry, where?

hmm...it listed on awards.php page, of course. First go to yourforum/awards.php and then you will see the request link if you added any awawd(s)

Ok, so apparently we need to manually add a link to that somewhere, because one has not popped-up on its own.

yes, you must manually add awards.php to the navbar or some navigation menu you may have, it does not auto create the link...not yet.

Hi, first sorry my english.
The Mod works fine to me (Firefox and IE8), but if i open my site in Opera the Medals show in row.
How can i change this? In wich Template i have to make changes?

OK i solved the Problem:
in awards_bit
Original:
After:

Change: <br /> after &nbsp;

Is it possible and/or that difficult to code this to show up in the manner I would like to see it? Thank you for anyhelp you are able to lend.

D?

You would need two separate outputs, 1 for the top row, then another for the remainder, not something very easy to do if it can even be done, so far all my attempts to do it have failed.

Also something you have to consider, doing so where you would show that many ribbons in the postbit makes for a very long postbit, 3-4 post would be equivalent to 10+ post as for scrolling down the page. You would be better off making custom code for your site to have it shown that way in there profile instead of the postbit, and we will not do custom code on a per site bases unless you would be willing to pay us.

I've read through all the posts, and noticed a couple of references to db queries. Is this mod considered server intensive or resource hungry? I plugged it into my test site and never noticed anything out of this world. I do have "display awards in postbit" turned off.
Anybody have any experience with this?

Hi, any plans for a vb 4 version?

+1 to that reply ^

Any vb 4 version coming out soon please? Otherwise I cannot upgrade :(

No, this is not server intensive at all, you will not even know it is there.

Hi, any plans for a hooked on phonics? (in other words, learn to read cause this has already been answered).

As above.

Not to sound rude, but it's not hard to go back a couple of pages and look instead of just coming in and posting questions that have already been answered with no intentions of reading.

Agreed....much needed! :) Can't wait.

I have YAAS installed on a test board and I am working on proper compatibility for vB4.

Not sure on the time frame, but I am hoping for a release early next week.

Hope you guys can as well implement the option to have different award categories show up differently such as for example found here at www.edgegamers.org , somehow they made it show up in different boxes in the forums, just check out any of their posts under the avatar.

Sounds awesome, because it's around the time I'm HOPING to be able to go to vB4. =) Thanks for your work!

Good idea, but I can wait for a solid vB4 port first. =)

Has anyone installed this on 4.0 yet, and tried working with all of the evals, etc? If so, and you've had some success, message me a PM please.

Could I upgrade to vb4 now, and install the vb4 version later without losing our current users awards? (understanding that they wouldn't have them until the new vb4 version you're working on is done)

What I would recommend doing, is disabling the YAAS Product itself, then upgrading to vB4.

That way, YAAS is still "installed", that way when the new version releases, it wont try to overwrite your database tables and what not. Then, all yu'll have to do after you install the new release that I'm working on is re-enable the product.

I should also add that the current release of YAAS "will" install on vB4, the main area with the majority of the issues that we'll have to recode is a lot of the display code. The backend and what not still works flawlessly from what my testing as came across.

I have this same issue but only when i sort the awards Ascending (ASC). (When they are sorted by by Issue they show fine but I need to show them Ascendingly).

I have checked the template mod and it shows as follows:

<tr align="center">
<td class="alt1Active" align="$stylevar[left]" id="u$userinfo[userid]">
<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$userinfo[userid]">$userinfo[musername]</a>
<if condition="$show['usertitlecol']"><div class="smallfont">$userinfo[usertitle]</div></if>
<!-- show awards -->
<if condition="$vbulletin->options['cat_yaas_display_memberlist']">
$memberListAwardsPHP
</if>
<!-- /show awards -->
</td>
<if condition="$show['emailcol'] AND exec_switch_bg()"><td class="$bgclass"><if condition="$show['emaillink']"><a href="sendmessage.php?$session[sessionurl]do=mailmember&amp;u=$userinfo[userid]" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/email.gif" alt="email.gif"

etc etc..

Any suggestions??

Thanks in advance :)

On another subject. Is it possible to have the awards show in the "View forum leaders" area?

Are you using MySQL or MySQLi? If I do remember correctly, that PHP worked properly with one, but not the other.

I told you how they did that, IT IS TWO DIFFERENT HACKS....NOT ONE HACK DOING BOTH. One is Awards and one is Achievements.

Not sure if we will be able to get this to do it.

We have also decided to do 2 versions of the Mod, this would be something that would go into the second one with an yes/no tick to it.

We are starting to get some request in that would require the Mod to be coded on a per forum bases, as we really do not want to get into that what we will do is 2 version into one. A free version and a Pro version, the free version will contain everything you now see + a couple of extra features. A Pro version that will contain more custom features from request, it will be more extensive but features can be turned on/off, and the point values will be functional in the Pro version.

So far it seems that I won't get this done and ready to be released for 4.0 this week.

If anyone is familiar with this mod, the templates, and has experience with vB4 and would want to help me out with a few of my issues, please send me a PM or get a hold of me on AIM "CypherSTL".

Is developing this modification with the vb3.8+ series still on crosshairs or are you gents developing/improving YAAS strickly for 4.xx?

Both will be worked on.

During the development of YAAS for 4.0, I will also be adding everything I add into 4.0 into 3.8.

Using: MySQL version 5.0.81-community

Is it possible to fix it?

Thanks guys for the updates on the Dev to VB4.0 - I stopped by Battlelands but seemed like a ghost town ...

I understand the huge change this will take so take your time and get a stable product out .. any ideas on the cost yet for the pro version ..

VB version: 3.8.4 PL2
MySQL version: 5.0

Hi there, I have installed this mod.
Install went fine, accept when I tried it out by giving myself an award, it gave me the award.... but in the process I got this:
The award showed up on my posts and it showed on the profile. Do I need to modify something on line 581 in the award.php file?
Or am I missing something? I can edit it..but to what?

I double checked everything and re-uploaded all files and xml file, just to make sure I did not forget something.

Another thing that is wrong is when I edited the "memberlist_resultsbit" template to show the awards, when I went to look at the members list there was a crapload of server error problems on each members line.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, maybe I'm missing a step? I also looked over the last 15 pages on this thread and only saw a few with this problem but they had a different message.

Any ideas?....thank you in advance...by the way this an awesome mod. :up:

The Battle-Lands site was a multi online gaming community that was just not going anywhere so we shut it down, if you wish to view this mod in action you can stop by http://www.75thclan.com where I am an Admin at and active clan member. On that site we have the "under sig" display of the awards instead of within the postbit, and a link to the main awards can be found in the game information module on the home page.

Hi there Xanlamin, was wondering if there is still support on this mod or does my issue have no conclusion...just wondering if I should keep waiting for an answer....or if I just got stepped over and ignored....just wondering...thank you....happy new year!!

Sorry for any delay in response Skydiver10, the coming new year has left us with preparations for the new, and had left us busy. We are unable to reproduce this error for yourself and others with similar issues, and if I think about it that is why we removed the member list aspect. If you go to the web site above you can see that we are able to have this mod installed with no issues and we still do not use the memberlist aspect.

Since some are having this issue we will look into it more so since it seems that some do wish to use it. Even though this mod is more geared towards a "roster" type of memberslist display.

Fear not, this mod is being worked on, we are going to do what we can to keep it compatiable with both 3.8 and 4.0.

Hi Xanlamin, thank you so much for your response, and thank you for your help on not being able to reproduce this error. This will help others when searching this thread.

I really like this mod and I like the awards.php that shows the list of awards, a have started to compile some simple awards, when you get a chance take a look. I'm also trying to figure out the rest of the settings that offer thread and forum ID's for posts. Is there a manual or information guide to this or is this something I have to experiment with and figure out on my own?

Yes, by checking out: http://www.75thclan.com/forums/awards.php you can see how powerful and effective this mod is! I really like this! :up: What a list!

The new year will bring many challenges, and the whole 4.0 thing has opened many cans of worms, I do not plan on updated to 4.0 for many many reasons, so good luck!

I have spent hours searching this thread and other related version threads for this error and could not find a fix. I spent an additional few more hours on the web searching for database error information under different scenarios than mine, but I have found something that works on line 581 in the award.php file, I would like to know your experienced opinion with database errors.

On line 581 of award.php:
Replaced with this:
This eliminates the error that shows for 5 seconds after giving a member an award in the adminCP awards.

~ With your expert opinion and experience with data-basing, is this OK?

~ When you talk about member list, are you referring to the memberlist_resultsbit; awards that show up on the community member list? I have not been able to figure these errors out since there are 3 database errors that show up in a row on every single member line. I can live without the awards not showing up on this list, since all of the awards that are won... show up on the awards.php list!

Look forward to your responses, special the database error above...happy new year, and thanks again.

On a website that uses this, www.vmkmagic.com , they have it so if you post in a certain thread, it will automatically give you an award. I have checked and checked in my settings, but i do not see an option for this. How is it possible?

I will have to take a look around the code and see if I can duplicate the errors, and/or duplicate your code change and see if it affects anything else in the system.

Most likely they have a custom script, cron, or plugin that does this. That isn't part an option in the awards system, nor will the demand be there enough for it to work on coding that.

If you want the code, I would suggest you get a hold of that site administrator/developer and see what you can work out with them.

Nice mod, like it on 3.8. Hope version for vB4 come soon :)
