It's possible to automatically give a award to the members of a special usergroup?

Ok, I have a strange issue. I can see the awards when I do a post, but when I come back to the post later, the awards are not there. Has anyone else seen this?

I don't have the problem on the MemberInfo.

It looks like the $post[showuserawards] and $post[userawards] are not set after I do an edit or refresh a thread. Did I miss something?

Been using this with no problem, working great, but thought I would give you a suggestion for a future version.

When a user requests an award, how about a link in the PM that can take the admin to a page with the award details filled in, with the reason and the username (obviously we would have to have the power to edit these as some people can't put the right info in the right boxes).

It would just save me a lot of time when I receive 10 award requests in one night for different reasons and have to manually find each one, edit each one, give award and do again another 9 times...

Or another suggestion.

If one user selects several awards, take us to a page that only lists their requests, with their username filled in for each type and we can just edit the reason and tick a box to say ok, click submit once. done

Anyone else had this issue?

Hello everyone,

I'm quite new to vBulletin and desire to add this to our site but am concerned after seeing the difficulties some folks have had. First off, most of the screen shots I've seen display the medals in a side banner but our forums do not have one, it is configured like this site. Second, is it easy to remove if it becomes problematic?
Thanks in advance,

Jon

Can any one tell me what awards/images they have on there forum?

Is there a way to make the awards.php private to non-registered and members who are not logged in? That page is currently showing up on google searches and I'd prefer it not too.

Yes, YES


Yes to all your questions past 5 posts.

I have a cron that runs to auto give some of the medals. Also when a person applies to a medal it sends PM now in that PM it has the thread details so you can just click and see the poll results to see if meets your standards. Also adding a click able link to give them the medal in the PM that is sent when they apply which will also delete the thread associated with this apply.

How do you go making the awards.php file private?

With a redirect if not part of X group at top of the php page. Or you can do if user not logged in redirect.

Just an easy if statement at the top of the awards.php file. Will show you example in a minute.

I wanted to share that I have created a cron job that has extensive options to it for this mod. I have done donations merger for example but can be used for anything. I knew donations would be most widely used one so here is the concept and will release it later. If a user donates X amount it will auto give them a donation award X and send them a PM saying they have earned it (you set the cron job time, I did 6 hours). Right now I have it setup for if someone donates $100, $300, $500, $1000. Now you can add more very easily within code by copy then pasting previous code and changing only 2 variables the award_id and $reasonX. Has a lot more then this but dam tired just finished it and is working perfect.

Forgot to mention it also has an option to give X credits per medal as well.
