Are you sure the template changes were made to your current template?

Thanks Abe, installed on 3.5.1 just fine. even working with another awards hack (for users not threads). I can award and remove with no problems so far.

maybe some nice features to add/consider would be ability to define award categories, upload post award images, maybe a forum which all awarded posts get copied to or a page that just list them all (besides the search function). if you add more award categories maybe a page like that could be sorted to show awards by their category.

also maybe an option to award a thread. this could add an award thread icon to the thread list/view page which would also be a nice distinction.

@For You, here's an award user hack that is very well done and integrated into the admincp:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?p=834641

a combination of these hacks would be very nice.

I've been having some users complain of random subscriptions to threads around the site. Post Award and the Advanced Warning System are the only two hacks I have (as I sit here and think about it) that play with showthread.php, which is the file Steve at vb.org suggested would be the area of concern.

Can anyone think of any reason Post Awards, under any circumstances, might be causing such a problem in limited cases? Just trying to narrow down my field of search, and hopefully remedy the problem.

Nope. Cant think of a way.

Thanks a lot abe, your hacks are everytime an improvement for my forum.

I have a moderator that was looking to give out an award for special and/or unique posts made by members. I wanted to give him something that ONLY he could use and not another moderator.

With the use of this hack, plus the creation of a moderator usergroup for him, which will look like the other moderator usergroups, he now will have his special stamp of approval for the forum.

Thanks a bunch!

helo Abe1

Its a very usefull hack..it help a lot to decide the best poster or the best thread author in a month...
we are on vb3.5.3
does it support vb3.5.3 ?

umm can u add an xtra option..like on cmps to show the top 5(or whatever) award receiver with links on top award received post or get the info from acp?

it will be nice..plz have a thought on it

Thnx

It should work on vb3.5.3. i hope to fully update in the coming days. I just finished working on a different hack called Moderator Stats.

Hope it works.. :D.. I 'll eagerly wait for ur full update.. & I wanna say as like Zia.. Is it possible to make a module which 'll show the stat in vba cmps?

Should be possible.

Helo Abe1

Thankx for ur nice co-operation..

we are waiting for this update version...

It would be really a grate edition to our board.. :D

Version 2.1 (2/8/06):

• GOLD Release of this hack for vBulletin version 3.5
• Added user and usergroup permissions via the acp options
• Rewrote the template edits

You should re-do all template edits if you are upgrading.

Thank U Sir....Thanku Very Much...

Is thera any cmps block to show

Who Got how many Award : klikable link to show in which/which thread [maybe lots of sql query]...any other way instead of lots sql query?



Thnx

There is no count by users for how many awards they got.

frankly i trying figure out a system for Best Poster of the month some ting like that
system...

in previous version...one post can get only one award.ANy way tht a post can get multiple award?
and a block Latest 5/10 award received post (ignoring user)....
what about it?

Thnx

Sorry, I dont think I'm going to be adding more features to this hack. I recommend my Post Thank You Hack for such a thing.

oh okay.....
just dont wanted to make the installed hacks list longer....

Many thnx

Nice Hack. Installed & working fine.

I have two suggestions:

1) I want the Post's Icon/Thread's Icon to show a mini Awarc Icon automatically, if a Post is given Award.

It would be easy to find the Awarded Threads from the Thread Display mode.

2) Add a short description velow the Award picture, i.e. "Best post of April 2006".

Can somebody suggest me how todo it?

There's going to be a simple solution to this, but after clicking "add award", all I get is the word "award".

the relevant pointer to the images/misc directory is

<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/rosette.gif" alt="award">

The rosette.gif is in my images/misc directory.

Suggestions, anyone?
Thanks in advance.

Abe1,

Adding post award counter would be great.

Says if someone receive howmany post awards ...

Also, same problem with Post Thanks Hack, the search take too much time (with 1,060,392 posts)

search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=findallawards

Search took 166.78 seconds; generated 2 minute(s) ago.

I'm going to see if I can do anything about that.

Thank you for offering this hack. It looks great!

I was wondering though if there is a setting that will allow folks to NOT be able to reward their own posts. It appears they can and this may pose a problem with greedy folks. If it doesn't have this setting is there any chance of adding it? Thanks!

Only admins or mods can add awards. I dont think your mods would do this.

Yes, I do not think they would, but I was thinking of having the registered members be able to use this as well. Perhaps supporting members of the site. If I did that, then maybe there would be ribbon abuse. LOL! Just wondering if there were any plans to prevent self awards. Thanks for the reply and the hack. :)

I'll see what I can do for next version.

well, then you can create a group of member who can give awards, and change the permission, so that if groupid = xxx, the person can give award.

cool

Will be there a next version? Thanks.

Does this work with 3.6.x ??

It should

After updating to 3.6.4 everything is working fine except this error message if I click on /search.php?do=findallawards:

even i'm facing the same problem:surprised:

wat do i do?
I badly want this feature...but hav to solve this warning...
pls guide me...

I dont support 3.6.x yet for this hack.

Any chance some one could tell me if the search all awards was solved for 3.6.X? I've got members that really loved this hack and would like to use it again since I've upgraded to 3.6.7PL

It does work on my forum.

Anyone Running on 3.6.8 ?

Running on 3.6.8 Thanks Installed

Intalled (again hehe)... Works great on 3.7 Beta 3 (*Blush* I gotta update hehe)
