Thank you, thank you, thank you Superman. We have been running a gaming site for years now and I have been manually giving ranks.
Now I can use this.:D

We surely used this along w/ the Awards mod for a good virtual "army" forum atmosphere... it was fun when everyone played along and followed the ranks in-game not paying attention to actual game rank etc. Gosh you have me thinking back to my weeks as a Captain of a squad then my 2 and a half campaigns as General of the PAC where we dominated the EU division until my retirement! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNI02LZ8F20 - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=luauhr8Avxg I miss my gaming site days, sadly if I had more time I would still help out at that one community, in a galaxy far, far away now as it seems :p.

So can I upgrade from this mod: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=232684 to yours? i've been using that mod and have many awards on it.

If the answer to NarutoFTW Q is no, then a converter from 3.x or 4.x version of Awards System to yours will be much appreciated. ;)

Hmm I think you have this wrong... this can be used in conjunction w/ that mod if you wish, this way you have a separate need for Awards and Ranks it is so ;). That mod only requires a few updates for example the profile fix listed in the changelog i.e.
Was made before this was released, special thanks to sadiq for helping so many in the Awards mod eh? Round of Applause indeed :cool:. So you see if you spend a few minutes and use Sadiq's fix you can have yours working on 4.1.3 and below, I'm not sure if it works on 4.1.4 as I simply have not tested, if so please post... so far one says no.

I believe, from our mods being similar in the past that you should only be required to backup the awards mod tables, then import the product and mark it so it can be overwritten etc and you should then be upgraded, if any issues you may need to import some of the award tables you backed up back into the DB to repopulate the info.

How configurable is the position of the ranks? I'd like to redo my usergroup/ranks as just awards, but I'm pretty adamant on how I want my postbit to appear :D and would want the awards to be in the same location. Doable with minor postbit editing?

You should try using the custom css option first before editing any templates (this is located within the rank options, enable by selecting custom then either edit the rank css template or post your modified css you fabricated from the default.css file included and paste within additional.css. That way you could adjust it to suit and perhaps avoid unnecessary template editing by using css alone ;).

Edit: Although for us at one point in time... we displayed [S]ranks[/S] correction Awards on the userinfo right location and displayed our military rank just below the avatar and designed to compliment it as well - just a idea if your only showcasing one rank otherwise if a display box containing a few you may not desire such changes or that location specifically, it's up to you :D.

*facepalm*

Like "{vb:raw post.userranks}" ?

:D

I'm getting some 'extra' info:

Fixed that by turning off adding template names as HTML comments.

However, requests don't seem to be working:

There's some error when sending your rank request. Please contact site's administrator for assistant.
