Rename the above file and load it into a browser.

Where it states to modify the templates follow these instructions (these are all original instructions, no changes made) and see if the changes are still there or not, if not execute these instructions ;)

All files changes must be done for sure, because with an vB upgrade you upload new files and these need to be adjusted again.

And please be patient because it's a pretty big hack, make a copy of the file you want to change before you do so.

Thanks I'll try it in the morning.

I don't know why it went out but I installed the HTL installer and I got a database error cause it was already installed but somehow it fixed it lol. But thanks for the help. All my files were edited as the attachment stated. Hope they stay up.

Is there a way to make it so that i can have small version in postbit and when you click larger image. I made large and small images of same awards but obviously it ruins style with large images. Any ideas

Don't think so, I am having to have one written for me from scratch to support that and other features.

Arial, if you're having an awards/medals/cards hack written from scratch and you're interested in sharing some of the development costs PM me. This hack appears to be dead or at least dying. I had this working on my forum for 2 months, all my members loved it, but I never re-installed it because it was to much of a hassle to do the uninstall/install whenever VB updated. I was also thinking about having someone re-do this also complete with a one-click install/uninstall and many of the additional features discussed here. Let me know.

I am willing to invest in a new one as well.

As far as an Install script, wouldn't be too hard to write. As far as completely re-writing it...may take more time than I have to do so. I would like to help, but I'm stretched thin as it is right now ;)

:) Idea is having another field in award table, call it bigimage_url, and give it the link to your bigger image.

When displaying award (in award page, or in member profile), use big image instead of the small one.

Simple as it is. thinsg to do:

01. a query to add additional field
02. change /admincp/award.php to show this field, so that you can put URL for big images
03. change AWARD and/or MEMBER template, to use new URL for big image instead of old one.

I might be interested in writing something like this too.


Additional features would be ...


- Giving One award to One person multiple time,
For example, if you have a "Member of the month" award, and someone get it twice, you can give your member 2 of the award.

- A complete - seperated award management system in AdminCP would be nice.
this would include
+ list all award and add new award (already featured)
+ list all members who get each awards (and/or all awards for one member)
+ give/take away some member some award(s), without having to edit userprofile (using the vB's user.php) because giving award is a seperatework from editing profile.

and other features mentioned.

Do you think you could do simple addition of making bigger ;)
