You couldn't ask him in a PM?

1. 200 x 200
2. Status Online Postbit Text
3. Yet Another Awards System

As Amaury stated, I would've been more than happy to answer you via PM. It doesn't really matter though, I suppose.

And Amaury was right on all accounts.

The avatar was 200x200 in size.
Simple template edits for the Online status.
We use YAAS for our awards.

Ok I must be a little thick :


I can't see a "name" column ?

The other thing I can't understand is why you would want to duplicate a "badge" that is already there, I noticed in the thread I landed on in your forum that hardly any of your members are actually using this feature.

Surely if someone wants a "custom badge" they can use their avatar to display it, isn't that what it is ?

The name column is in the User Profile Field Manager, third one from the left

It looks like Ozzy already got to your first question.

As for your second one, avatars are used to display most commonly images that are perfectly square or sometimes rectangular. The point of this modification is for users to be able to add a custom badge, which is smaller than an avatar by far, and even a custom link. Could you make a profile field to just display a link, yes, but it's not as fun.

Hardly any of the users use it because they aren't as active as I'd like. Most just pop in for sip of tea and then leave.

And I'd also like to say that, no an avatar is not a badge. An avatar is an avatar. A badge is a badge.

This is simply a fun modification for whomever would like to use it. If you think it's pointless or redundant then simply don't use it. I'm not forcing anyone's hand here. I discovered a neat little feature and decided to share it out of the kindness of my heart.

My daughter might have fun with this. Thanks for sharing.

This looks awesome! Thank you for sharing. I'm not quite ready for my forum to have a full blown achievements system yet, so this sounds like it will work. I'll install and let you know how it works out.

Can you tell me if and how to add an option where I can set it so only certain usergroups can use this?

I to would like to know....but in the field marked "field editable by user" that currently has the options "yes, no, at registration" then add the option "by Admin/Mod" would be great. Perhaps the all powerful OZZ....can do it.

Your not in Kansas anymore.......
