Is this mod an upgrade to this ? :
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=196244
Since I was using 3.8 version and kept for today disabled when it came not working,
and now I want to upgrade to the latest one and not loose the previous awards given.

Thanks,,

Yes it is.

I'll disable the other plugins to see if maybe they are interfering, but I had done nothing to awards settings. Just went to forums/awards.php after the install and that's what I got.

I wish I understood what you say on the previous page. I'm nowhere near that advanced on vbulletin. I am a complete novice here. Couldn't I just uninstall the thing from my plugin manager, and then re-install it through the ftp like I'd done the first time?

Problem Solved. It was the vbSSO plugin.

Unfortunately not, there's an error in the uninstallation code, actually an omission, that prevents the plugin from uninstalling correctly.

First uninstall YAAS from the product manager.

Then to do what I posted on the previous page, in admincp go to Maintenance->Execute SQL Query

When prompted run the following query:
This will give you the list of all tables in your db, look for the ones that have awards in their name, there should be between one and three of them, most likely three. In my db the tables are called:

The names might be different in your db, especially if your tables have a prefix. Take note of the names, and then run drop table queries, one per table, to remove the tables.

So if I was removing the three tables from my db I'd run the following three queries:
Then I could reinstall YAAS from scratch.

You could also try the solution mentioned here.

Let me know if that works.

Can someone explain to me how to use these features?

I've tried toying around with them but haven't had any luck.

The explanations give are pretty straight forward, what about them are you not understanding?

Well I mean, I put in the forum id and the thread id. Perhaps I'm messing up the latter. It's only a matter of those digits you see on the thread's url, correct?

Is anyone running this on vBulletin 4.2?

I've been using YAAS for years and am looking at an upgrade from vB 3.8.7 --> 4.2. But I have to be able to keep all the awards that have been given out over the years or my members will mutiny. ;)

There's a few bugs here and there for this mod, and it hasn't been touched by the original author in ages. Beyond the the existing bugs, you shouldn't have any issues. I'd wait to hear from someone using this with 4.2

Though you may be better off going over to https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ighlight=ranks

Going to the vB4 version from the vB3 one won't harm existing awards. The only issue that I can see on 4.2 is that the Awards tab disappears from the navbar, but with the Navigation Manager, it is easy enough to re-add it.

Also receiving SQL error upon installing. Any fixes found yet?

Is there a Vbadvanced block available for this?

Ive just tried to install on vb4.2 the import screen just goes blank
tried just dropping it into the right folder on the ftp and nothing ... any thoughts?

scuse my stupidity ... uploaded then tried importing from server and got a db error
any thoughts?

You've got a smaller one than me lol, erm I don't think this coder is active anymore :(

... shame ... yes, just read back a few pages :(
ah well ... ill try something else

On the user's profile page, does anybody have issues with the tab that says awards not appearing properly?

Existing bug, sadly developer is AWOL, but the fix should still stand.

For those asking if it works on vb 4.2 the answer is yes. check out www.xboxplayers.com to see

The issue i have might be with the YAAS or something else my background image is correct on all of my pages except the YAAS, any ideas?

Do the fixes from the post above yours. One of them is for an unclosed div tag which will cause all sort of problems, hopefully yours is one of them.

squidsk, thanks for the advice all done but to no avail still no background

Any other ideas?

link the page that is messed up

<a href="http://www.xboxplayers.co.uk/site/awards.php?tabid=39" target="_blank">http://www.xboxplayers.co.uk/site/awards.php?tabid=39</a> is the issue page all others wok as they should.

Thanks

When people request award/recommend award they get error any solution for this?

Its a bug in the program. If you go to admincp and look at the request/recommendations the request has probably been processed.

Agreed squidsk thats what happened when we used to get the same error

We had that issue when we first installed the mod but it lasted about a week before it dissappeared, probably something to do with the settings in the admin panel.
Below is a link to our settings

Hope this helps solve the problem.

P.S. next time you have an issue and would like help dont create a user and spam stuff on our awards page. If you had asked we would have helped. It creates unnecessary work for people.

Thanks Crotan! That helped!

I was fixing various bugs for YaAS so I decided to bundle it up into a new version. This is not official, but as the plugin says re-usable code I can release it for the benefit of the community. These changes should be compatible with all VB 4 versions with one caveat it does not support the new navigation manager from VB 4.2.

The mostly complete list of fixes/changes is:
If I messed up anything or there's a bug I didn't catch please let me know and I'll see about fixing it.

EDIT: Re-added the upload with correct XML.

Thanks for working on this.

How safe would it be to try this? If for some reason does not work as well as the version I have can I revert without losing anything?

Also, has anyone found a way to auto approve awards? I use them for people to show off what events they have participated in and it would be great if it would run without me having to approve each one.

What plugins were changed? I've implemented a customization on my board that allows members to determine how their awards are sorted, and I'd prefer to avoid having to reimplement that if possible.

You can fix the issue with the 4.2 navbar by changing $template_hook['navtab_middle'] to $template_hook['navtab_end'] in YAAS - Add Tab to Navbar. The former was deleted in 4.2, but the latter remains, and will work with 4.2 and previous versions.

EDIT: I've re-uploaded the new version of YaAS. I've also added two more changes to the list of things that were altered which I'd forgot to include when I first posted.

It would be pretty safe to try, but reverting would be a bit of a pain, as there's no easy way to revert to a previous version of a plugin. You might be able to just reload the old xml file and have it overwrite the changes from this plugin, but you'd likely need to take a back of the three awards tables, uninstall the 4.0.3 version, reinstall the 4.0.2PL1 version and then restore the backups to your db. The changes I've made do not alter the db in any way so there's no loss of anything if you upgrade.

I don't think so, but this would allow for easy abuse as then a member could give themselves any award even if they didn't actually meet whatever requirements you have for granting the award.

One plugin was changed, the YAAS in Member Profile - Profile plugin, and one plugin was removed, the YAAS - Profile Tab plugin. Both these changes were to fix the tab display issue on the member profile pages. I don't think any other plugins were changed. Various templates were also changed, but the merge utility should be able to merge all the changes. There were also some changes made to the php pages.

Thanks, I'll look into that once I upgrade to 4.2. Not being on 4.2 was the main reason I didn't make sure it was compatible with the navigation menu changes.

So much going on at present with this mod but my site is re-launching in less than 2 weeks and id really like to solve the background issue on the awards page.
All other mods are fine.

Any advice as to where to look or what code might be wrong would be greatly appreciated.
our site is www.xboxplayers.com

How are you setting the background image? In other words what did you change and where to get the background image onto your site?

Hi squidsk

It is additional css in the additional css posted like below
nabbed the code off another site , hoping its not the problem as we love our fixed background

I'd guess that the awards page isn't loading that additional css for some reason. I'll look into it.
