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.

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

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!

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

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.

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?

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).

Sorry, I'm no help on this one.

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

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/v...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.
