Really appreciate it thanks

Have you set the setting for Store CSS Stylesheets as Files? set to yes? If not you can try to edit the headerinclude template and near the end add additonal.css to the list of css files included.

Hi,
firstly thanks for this great mod!

I am however, having some issues running it on 4.2.0
I don't have the 'Awards Tab' showing on the board only in the users profile page
And It's not showing anywhere the link to recommend an award

So, in short the recommend the award link (navbar) doesn't exist...

I hope someone can help here..
I look forward to hearing from you

Thanks

** EDIT Ignore the vbphrase issue, I've found it.. cheers!
I've also typed ****.example/award ( guess ) which works but the page is terribly messed up, so I'm assuming it's a CSS fault somewhere.. I can manually add the link on the nav, so that's not a problem. Thanks again

You can add it to the NavBar manually via the Navigation Manager (awards.php is the path). Or if you feel safe doing so, you can make the plugin edit that I mentioned a few posts earlier.

I cant access the request and recommened awards.It tells me this..

Admin, you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation

Any ideas.

Is there a fix for automation yet? Getting the following when trying to run the scheduled task. Am using the fix posted by another developer a few pages back.

Database error in vBulletin 4.2.0:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT userid, award_id, award_cgroup
FROM award_user
WHERE (userid=19005) AND (award_id=7) AND (award_cgroup='postcount');

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'award_cgroup' in 'field list'

Exactly what I was trying to fix myself, many thanks for the information. :)

Use https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=1152 instead, it includes all the fixes from the link you used as well as many other fixes.

Looking at the xml for automation it looks like you didn't install the automation plugin properly, or there was an error with the installation. The reason I say this is the first thing that should be done by the install script is to add that column to the award_user table. You could try changing line 22 so that ADD award_cgroup instead says ADD COLUMN award_cgroup. If the automation plugin is showing up in your product list I'd uninstall it and re-install it. You'll also need to manually delete the award_automation table if you're doing a re-install since the table is not removed during an uninstall.

i cant get the automation to work

Does anyone have a fix for automation with vB 4.2?

Everything is working great.Except I cant get the navbar tab to show up.I have it enabled but it wont work.

So automation works for you? Does it send a PM to members indicating they have got the awards?

if you're on 4.2.0 you'll have the manually add the tabs using the Navigation Manager. This mod, like many others hasn't been updated for the navtab changes.

This is great. Thanks for making these fixes and compiling them into a new version! :up:

I have several years of awards in my live site's database, which is vBulletin 3.8.7. I'm currently testing an upgrade to 4.2.1 on a dev site. Unfortunately, I uninstalled my old version of YAAS after the upgrade, which dropped my awards tables.

Can I simply export them from my 3.8.7 db and import them into my 4.2.1 database? Or am I asking for trouble?

::

If I don't uninstall my old YAAS and it's corresponding awards tables during my upgrade to 4.2.1, but simply install this newer version over it after the upgrade, will all of my awards still be there. I mean, are the database tables different between the older version of YAAS and this newer version?

The answers appear to be yes and yes. ;)

Sorry for mucking up the thread.

How do you remove an award already given to a user? There is no option for it. A user was accidentally given an incorrect award and there is no way to remove it.

The Give Award to User selection allows removal of awards as well.

it's better to create new thread for your plugins

It isn't a new plugin, is bug fixes for this plugin. I also couldn't release that as my own plugin even if I wanted to since it isn't mine.

Ok let me see if I can explain what is happening here.

I have two issues not big but kind of weird.

If you add the full link (absolute url) to the "Award Image URL" field when adding a new award instead of just the short (relative url) "images/medals/1_month.jpg" version of the url when going to the Award Manager page the awards do not show up in the Award column.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/07/30.jpg

The awards how ever do show up in the Awards page on my forums. If I do use the absolute url the award will show up in the Award Manager page in my backend but when a new thread is posted I get this where I only see the bb code instead of the award.

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2012/07/31.jpg

When I right click to view the image in the Award Manager I get a 403 page not found but the link looks like this

https://www.cagclan.com/community/ht...als/1month.png

Is there a way to allow absolute urls so that the Award shows up in the Award Manager?

Seems like some parts assume relative URLs (like ACP/MCP) where the forum path would have to be included (since a relative URL in those areas wouldn't work well), while the Request Award output assumes it is absolute.

I also noticed something looking at a few of the templates for this...most of them still look like they're using the vB3 syntax, instead of the vB4 syntax. While this does work, is it really a good idea?

It is working fine for me besides these 2 little issues. No other problems , I was looking through the awards.php to see if I could fix this but I see nothing so far.

I don't see anything in the code that would cause absolute urls to fail. The default medals use absolute url and they display without a problem. As for relative urls not working, its because the [img] tag does not handle relative urls.

Yes they display in the Awards page in the forums but not in my backend. If I use absolute they wont display in my backend but of course show up because the bb code does handle absolute.

But if you use the relative urls then what is the point of creating a thread that does not show the image but instead just the bb code in it?

Do I make sensek, lol...

Thanks for answering back squidsk.

This has to do more with the creation of the award submissions thread than anything else.

I used to run the 3.8 version but had it disabled as I upgraded to 4.xxx. I installed this version but it looks like I need to edit the award.php file as it doesn't show my site's custom navbar.

Please visit and compare to the rest of the site. I have contacted my site builder but I am hoping someone can help me figure it out on my own as he takes awhile to respond.

http://www.thepublicenemy.net/awards.php

Because most sites have html disabled in posts, as they should. This means that a post added to the post table can't have html tags or it won't display, so bbcode must be used.

You've likely upgraded to 4.2, which uses a different navigation system. You'll need to manually add the awards tab using the navigation manager in admincp.

The problem isn't adding an awards link to my navbar. I have manually added it already. The problem is on the actual awards.php page IE http://www.thepublicenemy.net/awards.php

My main navbar is screwed up. I'm trying to figure out how to get it like the rest of my site.

Is it messed up with the default style? I'm asking because that custom style has a tonne of xhtml validation errors, any of which might cause odd behaviour with the appearance of a page.

No the default style is fine but thats because the default style only has the VB navbar not the custom navbar he has added to the forum.

Here is the custom navbar coding in the 'header' template:

Can I build a new template based off 'header' and replace the line in the awards template?
Then edit the new template IE header_awards and try to fix the issue that is conflicting with the awards template?

A couple of things, there's an unofficial patch to YAAS that you do not appear to be using. You can grab it from here.

Also you're menu is missing the </li> that corresponds to TPE - Center 2.

I'm not sure that will fix everything, but it will at least start you in the right direction.

Thanks but that didnt fix the problem.

Figured it out, its actually what I thought was a vbulletin bug that I mentioned a few pages ago but isn't. If you edit the template AWARDS and just before</head> add {vb:raw headinclude_bottom}. This should fix the issue.

My friend you are a Genius!

Thank you very much. I would have never figured that out alone.

Ah snaps! Makes sense..so If I enable html just in that forum it should be fine right?

Something similar needs to be done for the awards_recommend_form template and awards_request_form

EDIT: I should say everyone of his award templates that are their own page

Specifically in templates
awards_recommend_form
awards_request_form
awards_viewaward

where
should be

No, because the post was created with the assumption that html would not work, so bbcode was used instead. The problem is that the [img]https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/[/img] bbcode does not handle relative links. A fix to the bbcode, no likely to be done, or a fix to the code to generate that post which prepends the site url to relative urls needs to be done. I can likely do the second, but wouldn't count on jelsoft doing the first. They may even have reasons for not doing it, which if I were to guess it would be because it is too difficult to determine what a valid relative url looks like.

Thanks, I'll see about putting together a new version with all the templates updated.

Anyone know whats wrong here? - It worked fine and then stopped working?
