You can use the plugin interface (CDP, Custom Data Provider, ZIP\extras\CDP Custom Data Provider) to create and read such a field.

I'm not sure about this limit number field. Please describe more.

Well, basically, I'm trying to get functionality so that one (or maybe two) users get a certain award each month. So this field ('number of users who can have this award') would be set to either 1 or 2.

I'm trying to get something which is like "first place" and "second place" in a competition. Perhaps there's a better way to do this.

Thank you very much, Phalynx! It worked!

Best mod ever...

Merry x-mas all!

There is already such a field, called position in Query, GOLD/SILVER/BRONZE.

Yes, merry X-Mas for all!

Installed. Excellent Mod

does this plugin work with user groups?
We currently are using 3.8x
I have a long list of user groups set so that each time a member wins any of the photo contests for the first time, i.e. POTW,POTM,POTQ either 1st place or 2d place, I tag them for being a member of that group so that the winner ribbon appears in their profile.
see example of this user. The ribbon colors match the larger ribbons that go under their winning photos within Photopost.

We are currently in the process of upgrading to vB 4,1 on our test site and I have noticed that the ribbons no longer show up in the user profiles.
I need a way to display all those ribbons in the profiles.
Right now this is the only way for me to keep track of all the past and current winners.
The website has been in existence since 2003, but we purchased it the end of 2009.
Since I created all the new user groups, ribbons myself, I spent months going going through all the winners each week and tagging their profiles.
So this is the reason I need it to work with my already created usergroups linked to the rankings with the ribbons.
Thanks for your help

Please explain more. vBExperience does not touch your usergroups, as long as you are not using promotions based on points. Even then only the primary group is changed.

Your site requires an account to view userprofiles.

sorry, I forgot about the profiles not showing to non registered users.

I created the rankings that work along with the user groups.
Here is a screen shot of how it would look under vB 3.8x

I also created a profile field category called Contest Wins with sub cats of POTW, POTM, POTQ & POTY.
Each time a member wins I add one more to the count of the wins they have already won.
I was hoping to eventually use that data to create automated updated reports of a contest leader board so members can view it.

You can see how the profile is setup here.

Thanks for the screenshot. I still see no connection to vBExperience, beside the automatic promotion to another usergroup based on points.

Question: I have only installed this recently.

How do I disable the display of Downloads award from the public experience awards page?

It displays to visitors, yet I do not have Downloads II installed.

It even has a member awarded this award, even though no downloads have ever occured or existed.
