I do.

I'm getting close to releasing a new version. ANY bug reports need to get sent to yaas-bugs@kd0igo.com

Please make sure you specify what version of the mod you have, (VB3 or VB4). All emails get added to Redmine for easier bug tracking. Redmine is MUCH easier than trying to read though 60+ pages.

Thank you for your reply, I have emailed you a couple of days ago. But as it is more of a case of lack of information and needed assistance then bugs I'm not sure that the mail is a bug report.

But I wonder does that mean I will get a reply and the help I need through email or will you post it here or will you only make a note about it in you bug log?

Waiting for the update to install :)

Getting a database error

Resolved the error by make the tables my self but it seems the installer isnt willing to create the tables on a 4.1.10 install (clean)

i now have this issue:
(but that is a php issue since i use a higher version on my local host)

To resolve the deprecation error go to line 47 in awards.php and delete the & from before the equals sign.

CypherSTL, what an absolute star you are - this mod could have so much potential but has been lying at the side of the road for quite some time now.

What we're looking for is an awards system where you can add and remove customised awards and they'll appear below a users signature which we could limit to a set amount and the user could prioritise their awards through their profile. Will the new mod you're releasing have this capability or are you keeping it under your hat until release?

Thanks in advance.

I still haven't seen anywhere an explanation on how to use the auto reward feature. Does anyone know how to use it?

Already does this.

Already does this.

Global ordering is what is used now, user specific ordering is not possible.

Wondering if I can see some support for this mod. I've used this mod since vb3 and it's one of the best things I've ever added to my forums.

Here's my problem. In my users profiles the My Awards tab is not showing up. It's there and clickable but it's invisiable. If you need an example of what I'm talking about go here:

http://www.suicide-kings.net/forums/member.php?1-Cledus

Right next to the My Ranks tab you can see the area for the awards tab is clickable but not visiable.

Also, is there any way to rename that tab to something else besides My Awards?

Any help to fix the problem would be greatly appreciated.

Follow the instructions at: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...01#post2189701

If those above instructions don't work, which they didn't for me.
Then restore the code as it originally was and use this instead.



Go to the Admin Control Panel >> Languages & Phrases >> Search In Phrases
Type in: My Awards
In the Search For Text box and press enter or click the button Find.
Then click the button that says Edit


Now to MY question, about how to get the award automation to work, seems like no one is able to answer. Makes me want to rate this a terrible mod.

Would this work on 4.0.1?

can someone explain a bi better how to install this mod or where to find the directions for installing this mod please.

I hope this will help

Unzip the archive and then.

Upload everything in the /upload directory to your forum root.

Then Import yet_another_award_system_automation.xml from your admin control panel.

so highlight all the file in the whole folder of upload to my public_html in my ftp? i dont need to upload the files inside the folder like admincp to admincp? just double checking???

On my forum there is something happening with the awards list on the postbit. I want them in a straight line but there is 2 in one row then 1 under it so it is like this:
(member info)
Award 1, Award 2,
Award 3

Is there any way I can fix that?

Do you have your vBulletin installation directly under the my public_html folder? You don't have a folder you installed it in to? If not then yes, you should select all files and folders and drag them to your my public_html folder. As you already should have a admincp folder there after installing vBulletin, you should have no problems dragging the files and folders to my public_html folder, as it will move the files in to those folders.

Thank you and yes my vb files are in the PUBLIC_HTML my host installed the vb files and thats the way they did it. I didnt know how to install the files now i do though since i made a test site. Thanks for confirming what i though about wherre to put the files. Your the best!!!

Is there anyway to give awards based on the usergroup or subscription (preferred)?

Why does this not work?

All of them have the setting: Enable Automation Task? YES
Also the Awards Systems Setting have: Automation: Enable Automation System set to YES
Members have been members for longer then 30 days.

This Mod is supposed to be supported. Then give me support and not some email address that doesn't include support.

Will this work with the latest version of VB?

I'm pretty sure the automation is not retroactive so if someone has already been a member of your site for X days they will not get the award just because you activate it. The query likely checks if they've been a member exactly X days and then gives an award.

Yes, although it doesn't function the way you want it to.

Thanks for replying. Are you sure about it not being retroactive?
I surely have to check the registration date for a member not how long the award has been active.

Because if it isn't, then this mod stinks even more then their support does.

Pretty sure, because it would make the code and the queries more complex if it was applying awards retroactively. I'm guessing that the automation is run through a cron job which runs every X period of time. If you want it to run retroactively then you're running an extra query for every single user in the database for every single award that is being automatically awarded. The overhead for that would not be something I'd want on my site.

As for complaining about the support, you do realize that whatever support you're getting, and I believe that just means patches and stuff, you aren't paying a cent for, so complaining that you aren't getting enough for free is . . . uncalled for at best.

Well I guess you and I read different things in to the term support. I read it as this: If a product is supported the customers can come with what ever problems they have with the product and get the help they need to fix the problem. It doesn't matter if it is free or not. What matters is that it is supported or not.

This product is supposed to be supported.

If it does mean what you say that it is just patches and such, then an other word then supported should be used. Such as In Active Development or some thing along those lines. Using supported is misleading in that case.

As for the award automation, it does not work, at all. I've tested with a 1 day membership award and it isn't awarded either. If it is some setting I've not done right or not, I have no idea as the documentation on how to use the product is not 100% on how to set it up. Nor have I gotten support here to sort it out.

As for rewarding automated awards retroactively, if it was a button you could click to start a process to check each member's amount of days as a member once, then it wouldn't be a huge amount of queries that runs all the time. Plus those that wouldn't like to use that function could choose not to. But since it's not working at all this is all just wishful thinking.

The difference we have is my expectations for support differ vastly if I'm paying for it as opposed to getting it for free from someone who likely has a full time job and does this for fun in whatever spare time he or she has. At work the servers are on a 4 hour turn around, and I'd be pissed if I didn't get service within that 4 hour window without a damn good reason, but my company pays a premium for that service. Here where I pay nothing for the service my expectations are much lower.

Personally we don't use it on our site, so I'm limited in what I can do since I've never played around with it.

Why have a button, retroactive awards only need to be applied once, and its easy enough to craft an SQL query that will give the award to those that should have it, then there's no extra messy bits lying around your install.

My expectations for support differs as well, just as yours do. How ever waiting weeks for help is not what I call support. If I paid for a product I expect 24 hour support and that they can solve the problems in a day. For a free product like this, I expect that something should have happened in 3 weeks time.

I understand. Well I have tried to follow the very limited instructions and I can say that it does not work. So either I did something from due to bad instructions or the product is faulty.

You say that as if I would have any idea what SQL is. I don't. I'm totally illiterate when it comes to stuff like that. Thus in need of support when it doesn't work.

So far, the forum logo on the awards page is not in the same place as it is on any other forum pages. - I've been told it might be the skin wrapper, but I don't get why that would be different for this page and not the others. It seems to draw all the info from the same place after all.

The awards that should be atomized aren't automated. - I've tried many different settings, I can't get it to hand out awards. I have no idea if it is retroactive or not.

I have a different take on things as I have written a couple of free programs, and while I do offer support, often it isn't timely due to other constraints and patches can be months in the making even if the bugs are small and easy to fix.

I forget sometimes that not everyone who administers a site necessarily has the technical skills to do the behind the work fixes that are sometimes required.

I'd guess this is actually a problem with your skin, as you've been told. The easy way to check it is does the default skin look normal or does it have the same issue on the awards page. If it doesn't its a skin issue, if it does its an issue with the plugin, but on my forum I don't see any problems with the default skin.

I installed this and the award page was all messed up. I deleted the mod and now I cannot re-install it. Any Ideas?

vB - 4.1.10

Yes, there's currently a problem with the uninstaller for the mod not actually removing all tables, so when you try and re-install the mod it fails because the tables its trying to create already exist. The easiest way to fix the issue is to remove the sections of the install code that generate the errors, so if its giving you an error that says table A already exists then go into the install code and remove the entry that adds that table.

Well I've hosted websites with free custom made 3D models mods for games and provided support for that and I would try and be swift about giving it as it then was no longer on my to do list. Not everything I've asked about have been bugs, some have been about how to use the product and that should be fairly fast and easy to answer. Don't you think?

Well I managed to uninstall this product so I could try and install it again. So I'm not clueless if I get a reasonably understandable description on how to do something. I just can't whip something up on my own.

I've used a default skin and made a few new skins with the Style Generator and the image is aligned wrong using them too...

Hello,

Will this mod have a patch or upgrade for 4.1.10 or not? if yes will it take long to see it available?

Best Regards
Sarab

Wouldnt it just be easier to drop the tables themselves?
Instead of modifying the install code.

Of course it would, except not everyone knows how to drop a table and it usually easier to edit a file than create an sql query, especially as not all the errors are related to tables not being dropped, there are also fields that are causing issues as well if you look back at the thread.

It would be great if there was a way to have category-specific postbits. Say, awards from Category X,Y,Z display under profile, but from Category A, B, and C display right of signature.
