I also noticed something looking at a few of the templates for this...most of them still look like they're using the vB3 syntax, instead of the vB4 syntax. While this does work, is it really a good idea?

Ok let me see if I can explain what is happening here.

I have two issues not big but kind of weird.

If you add the full link (absolute url) to the "Award Image URL" field when adding a new award instead of just the short (relative url) "images/medals/1_month.jpg" version of the url when going to the Award Manager page the awards do not show up in the Award column.

<snip>

The awards how ever do show up in the Awards page on my forums. If I do use the absolute url the award will show up in the Award Manager page in my backend but when a new thread is posted I get this where I only see the bb code instead of the award.

<snip>

When I right click to view the image in the Award Manager I get a 403 page not found but the link looks like this

Is there a way to allow absolute urls so that the Award shows up in the Award Manager?

Yes they display in the Awards page in the forums but not in my backend. If I use absolute they wont display in my backend but of course show up because the bb code does handle absolute.

But if you use the relative urls then what is the point of creating a thread that does not show the image but instead just the bb code in it?

Do I make sensek, lol...

Thanks for answering back squidsk.

I used to run the 3.8 version but had it disabled as I upgraded to 4.xxx. I installed this version but it looks like I need to edit the award.php file as it doesn't show my site's custom navbar.

Please visit and compare to the rest of the site. I have contacted my site builder but I am hoping someone can help me figure it out on my own as he takes awhile to respond.

You've likely upgraded to 4.2, which uses a different navigation system. You'll need to manually add the awards tab using the navigation manager in admincp.
