- When there is a rank request, when I choose to approve the rank, I get the following message

Also, shouldn't the request for a rank disappear after it has been accepted or denied? I have to keep deleting them manually.

Thx,

Have some hack, for ppl buy awards with points ?

sorry about my english.

Nope not at the moment. i noticed that myself. but a small price to pay for an outstanding mod.

might have to work some thing out with a paypal mod and something similar to the awards mod.

EDIT: Idea.
Make subscriptions for points. and allow it to change thier usergroup to allow for awards. its limited on what it can do but could be a start.

what code do i use to add it in the member profiles but not as a tab but under like there profile picture.

Seems to be working fine in v4.1.8 too (with the above exceptions)

Since in our current forum we do not use ranks, I would like to be able to change the tab to say "MEDALS" instead of "RANKS". And the are a couple other places where "rank" is used that I would like to change to "medals".

How would I go about doing this. Am new at working with vBulletin, so I have a lot to learn when it comes to working in the code and where to look for things.

Thanks

why don't you uninstall this mod and install this one. It might be what you are looking for.

Let's say I want to change the bit on the navbar to say "Badges" instead of "ranks". Can that be done, and if so, how?

Yes, it can be done. You will need to search in Phrases via the ACP for "Ranks" and replace it with whatever you would like. It might take you a few tries to find the phrase that controls the menu tab, but it is easy to figure out.

Hmm, I tried doing that, but the words "ranks" just vanished instead.

Also, just a suggestion: We should be a able to set an expiration time on ranks.

sorry, missed that you replied to this thread. Do you still need help with this?

@ TheLastSuperman

If your still updating this mod, would you consider adding a feature that would post a new thread in forum X when someone received a rank/award? One pretty much just like the thread that is start when someone requests/recommend a rank. I would you this to draw attention to all the members that one of them got a rank/award. I think it would help engage more people on the site to do activities that earned them ranks/awards by seeing their fellow members getting them publicly.

Something else that would be very helpful would be to put the "Grant" portion of the request in the PM or post that is sent to the admin. Would keep us from having to log into the ACP just to approve a Rank.

Yeah, still having the same issue. I can't seem to figure it out.

Sym, do a phrase search on "ranks" and it should be one of the Global settings that show up. When you click on edit, you need to add the new name you want in the box at the bottom (highlighted in red in my image below).

I am actually using the Awards version of this mod, so everywhere in my image that it says "awards", just know you should see "ranks".

Hope this helps some more and Happy Holidays!

Out of interest, can you give the same award to a member say 30 times and it will say plus 30 awards?

For example I run a tournament which is the same tournament and instead of constant new awards I'd like to use the same one, but if someone wins the tournament twice can I issue them that same award again? again?

If you issue them the same award, the award will be displayed for each time you assign it to someone. If you are just wanting to have the "Tourny A" award displayed once for each user, but want it to some how indicate that that person has played in Tourny A ten times, you would have to edit the issue reason for that person. Then it would only show up on their Awards tab (on their profile page).

What I have done on my site is to have most of my awards (we call them medals) done up in sets of four:

Base Medal

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/08/120.png


Bronze Medal

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/02/20.png


Silver Medal

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/02/21.png


Gold Medal

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/02/22.png


I can then just replace the medal with the next highest version of it. So, for your Tourny award, you could set the Base award at 1 tournament, Bronze at 5 tournaments, and so on depending on how high you need to go.

Hope this helps some.

Well, I will be issuing caps as its for a FIFA forum www.fpcforums.com I'm actually looking to edit the display in postbit so it displays the exact same way as ranks do, I haven't had time though, were 3 weeks old and its a busy site already.

Anyway, there are guys who will play many times for their country some 40 times etc and I want to just issue them with the same medal 40 times as a cap if that makes sense.

If someone could please help me with a problem with this mod I'm having it would be great.

My problem is that in a users profile the My Ranks tab link is NOT working. Once clicked nothing loads. For an example of what I'm talking about go here:

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

Now if you click on the My Ranks tab you'll notice no pages load. Please help me fix this. Thanks.

The Awards mod you have installed is causing this issue, click on My Ranks... now notice how a new tab titled "Awards" is also shown yet before it was not?

Now view my profile here: http://www.innovationbyinstinct.com/...s/michael.html

*I'm disabling the mod shortly so hurry up and confirm what I'm saying by clicking ;).

As you can see there is no issue, in fact I ensured before releasing this to include Sadiq's fix listed in the Awards mod thread into the Ranks mod therefor the issue cannot and is not caused by the Yet Another Ranks Mod :cool:.

So are you saying there's no fix to the problem unless I disable YARS or YAAS? Like they both cant be active?

No, he is saying that the issue is in the YAAS coding, not his. You will need to apply the fix for that to the YAAS coding. I would suggest that you disable the YARS product, fix the YAAS product and then re-enable YARS.

You could also confirm that it is YAAS by disabling it and seeing if your My Ranks tab works correctly then.

Bingo and thanks btw Mobo!

Can anyone tell me if there's a way to rename the My Ranks tab to something else? Thanks for any input given.

A simple "search" of this thread will give you the answer you needed.

Ok, I need to be able to issue the same award multiple times, basically as many as I want for the same rank and have it only display once on the postbit, I don't want to have to edit the reason as that still only means one rank, as I award caps for representing your country then people can represent their country many times, but I cannot currently issuing them a rank each time as that means they could potentially have 40 ranks all on the postbit. Also we play tournaments and teams could potentially win a tournament twice so again I would like to issue them with the same rank and it only display once.

Is this possible and if so how do I make it so?

How to move the Rank Menu down from Admin Panel?

thanks

Hello,

I tried to install it in vb 4.1.10 and when I enter the rank page I have:
Fatal error: Cannot redeclare construct_depth_mark() (previously declared in D:\inetpub\vhosts\xxxxxxxxx.com\httpdocs\vb\ranks. php:97) in D:\inetpub\vhosts\xxxxxxxxx.com\httpdocs\vb\includ es\adminfunctions.php on line 1915

how can I fix it?

Best Regards
Sarab

Worked great. Thank you for your help.

Michael, if you ever look at expanding this mod, one thing that I think might be very useful is an "Upgrade Rank/Award Level" feature.

On my site, almost all of my medals have four levels, Base, Bronze, Silver and Gold

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/08/120.pnghttps://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/02/20.pnghttps://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/02/21.pnghttps://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/02/22.png

The ability to easily upgrade a user from one level to the next would be every handy. As it is now, you have to remove the current medal and issue the new one separately.

Nice one this! Let me try it. Perfect for me. Thanks a lot.

Can this mod give out ranks on auto pilot or does admin need to give out each rank?

I don't think this mod does auto awards, but the Yet Another Awards System has an automated function. It's a bit limited and there are no directions for setting it up really... or documentation on it. It may or may not do what you want it too.

Please use the feature "Search This Mod" on the top of any mod to easily search and locate issues similar to yours using some of the keywords or other :cool:.

Great mod.

Keep up the good work

Would you please explain the differences between this system and award one ?

Really sorry but I read all two threads but cannot understand . The award one just can work with Award Pictures but Rank one can be used without any ICon or Pic ?

Thanks In Advance !
