I am also getting a database error with the latest version. I have disabled the plugin for now. I am only getting this error if I click on a users name to view their profile.

Anyway to fix this?

I am using Yet Another Awards System 4.0.8 on vBulletin 4.2.2 Patch Level 1
http://www.cozworld.com/awards.php

Seems fine with mine... Maybe a MySQL time Limit issue with your host?

Thanks for replying. For some reason after reinstalling it a second time its all working fine.

You might of forgotten to overwrite the product when installing ...that's the case most times ...

well what i did was go into the upload folder, selected everything inside and uploaded it to /public_html/forum which is my forum root. I have a admincp folder and a modcp folders in the forum root, i never renamed them either

Yeah I have had issues like that as well... Not with just this but a few others... Shared hosting sometimes has it's hiccups for me that is!

hey, we have a forum with over 7000 People, we are trying to use the system

Award: first 2 weeks registered on the site, this works fine, but when we add 6 months member of the forum, it removes people from that first 2 weeks award

Also, can you make it so we can add more options to the auto

example is the fact we dont want guests/trials/banned to be a part of the 6 months activity....

So allow us to only include X usersgroups

could you help us via skype or something? as this is quite frustrating!

In the current version there's no way to avoid this without editing the cron job that adds the awards. In the current version awards in a category are made to superceed previous awards in the same category, where category is posts, days as member. In the next version, no ETA on it, this is changed by allowing awards to be set as permanent, which will prevent them from being removed when the next level of automation is given.

Someone a few pages back posted about a fix for this, which is just commenting out the part where previous awards are deleted.

Good suggestion I'll work on including them in the next release. Thanks.

I don't usually provide the level of customization that would be required for the changes you're asking for.

Been using this mod for a long time now and love it

There is one thing i would like some help with and thats the number of awards displayed currently five are displayed on a line and i would like each line of awards to display only four.
So if someone has 8 awards they would display in two lines of 4 instead of 5 on the top and 3underneath.

thanks for your help in advance

Hi there.

This is to let you know that the latest update to the YAAS mod has broken something.
It seems the medals are not aligned to the left anymore when a member has a long user title ? I uploaded two pictures to show you. The medals for user title "SFK's Prince Consort are aligned properly, but not the ones for "Super Moderator of the Round Table". Also, only 5 medals per line now ? All medals were on the same line before. It looks very bad now.

Can you please fix it ? Or please send me a link to the previous version I had (I think it was 4.0.4). Thank you.

EDIT : I found the 4.0.4 version on another forum.
EDIT #2 : It's the 4.0.6 version that brought the bad change.

Still hoping you will fix it though.

Hey hey Squidsk hows it going?

Any update on the option to delete all awards from 1 or more members?

I have another question regarding when to show the awards. Sometimes we have members of our clan who are no longer in the clan or leave for one reason or another. Sometimes they come back and most of the times they don't.

So I used the following conditional to only show the awards if a user has a specific profile field which indicates they are a clan member. The conditional works to only show the awards in the awards_postbit_display template but not in the memberinfo_block_myawards template.

The conditional is:
So because we can't delete all the awards from members who leave or leave and might come back and we don't want to always delete the awards because they might come back, I thought I could use that conditional to only display the awards if that profile field is filled out.

Like I said, it works only in the postbit_legacy template but not in the memberinfo_block_myawards. In the info block even if the field is correct it wont show anything.

Any thoughts on how to make this conditional work in the memberinfo_block_myawards template Squidsk or if the option to delete all awards or certain awards from a member will be available soon?

Thanks in advance !!!

I am still running 4.0.6, see attachment.

It is always a good idea to upload versions for the mods as separate attachments in case of a change that has bugs.

Thanks squidsk =) http://forum.nihonomaru.com/awards.php

I'm running 4.2.1

I uploaded /upload to forum root for YaAS 4.08
Then I imported xml

At this point, the options appear in the settings. But no image for the award, or place to award the awards (and no Award option in left menu). So I figured this was because I need to put the other file in.

So I uploaded /upload to forum root for YaAS-Automation-R4
Then I imported the xml from there.

I still don't see an Award option in left menu in adminCP nor a spot to award the Awards or add images. Did I do something wrong?

Still not working, and I'm guessing there is no more support for this. I can't mark this as installed until it's installed and working properly.
Great.
So now how do I uninstall?

You posted last night at 11:16 PM my time and are complaining by this morning at 7:48 AM that I haven' t provided support, come on be realistic.

As for the problem, you didn't read the installation instruction correctly, upload the contents of the upload/ folder to your forum root, not the upload folder itself.

Sorry squidsk, I saw the two posts above from other people that didn't get a response, so I jumped to the wrong conclusion.

I also mis-spoke. I uploaded it to the root folder - and since the root already had an upload folder, I was just saying that the contents in /upload would have been added to it.

Given yaas is enabled and you have no menu on the left, the files are in the wrong location. To verify this look in your forum_root/includes/xml folder you should see the following three files:

1. bitfield_awards.xml
2. cpnav_awards.xml
3. cssrollup_awards.xml

If those files aren't there then you've uploaded things to the wrong location. Specifically the lack of the cpnav.xml will prevent the awards settings from appearing on the left hand menu of your admincp. Also keep in mind that if you've renamed your admincp and/or modcp in includes/config.php then you'll need to do some extra work to install the mod.

You are correct - they were not in the folder. I uploaded it properly and it still didn't show up in the left adminCP menu. So I uninstalled both the automation and the 4.08 one, and reinstalled the 4.08 the way I should have done the first time. I still can't get it up.

Those files do appear in the folder properly now.

I looked in the 'includes' folder and is it possible that my developer renamed the admincp and modcp to adminfunctions.php and modfunctions.php? Because that's what I'm seeing in there

I'm not talking about php files, I'm talking about folders. In your forum root you should have two folders called admincp & modcp. Inside of them there should be files other than those for yaas. If there are only yass related files then your install has renamed the admincp/modcp folders in includes/config.php and you'll also need to copy the contents of the "new" admincp/modcp into the actual renamed admincp/mod/cp respectively. Without actually seeing your control panel/filesystem I have no way of knowing why the mod isn't working.

Thank you! I got my developer to do it. Didn't take him long so I must have been pretty close ;)

On a side note, is there anywhere I can go to grab some nice award icons?

in awards.php how can i tab the categories ?

currently my awards are displayed vertical, how do I make them horizontal?
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2014/07/73.png

There's a link at the top of award images in the similar mod sections, I don't know the quality or variety of the images, short of that you'll need to make your own, find some free ones or pay for images.

You can't unless you customize the code.

They are only vertical because your images are so large, there's no way to fit two of those images side by side in your postbit.

Alright that makes sense, is there a way to change the width of that box?

Yes, change the width of your postbit since the awards box sizes itself accordingly, its controlled via a stylevar, but I can't remember which one.

Hi everyone
I am running 4.2.2...could someone please confirm if this works on the same? I like this better than VB Activity..so seriously contemplating to install
Thx in advance
arr

EDIT: cozmicshredder already has this up and running on 4..2...saw his post...okie..that helped..thx

Yes it runs on vb4.2.2, but it doesn't create a nav tab.

Once you edit the Custom CSS .txt file, where do you upload it?

You don't edit it, it's an outdated file that you could you in previous versions to reset the css to default. To edit the CSS for yaas use the style manager in admincp.

Hey Squidsk, any update in regards to being able to ignore Guests/banned users from awards/automation? as i still have over 4000 Users with it in my Awards section

I too have been waiting for a way to delete or ignore user's awards on their profiles as well when they are banned or removed from usergroups ....

I can't for the life of me find where to edit the automation options!? I've searched through the thread and it doesn't seem to have been discussed. Can someone point me in the right direction. Thanks!

Hello squidsk,
very nice mod. Reminds me on a similar one for the old phpBB/php-Fusion, but this has more options (recommend, request, small icon etc.).
We made a small change, so only supermods and admins can give awards, not normal moderators.
What you could add (like the old ones above had) is an option for each award, that speicifies if mods/supermods can give this award or admins only.
Some folks (like us) dont want to have all awards available by mods, by now we use the "award_active" option for this :p
(All awards are shown in the public list, in modcp only those are "active").
Thanks.

I'm using automate option for user with one year, two years... and for post number (250, 500, 1000...). But I have a problem, when a user reach 250 post he receive the medal, but when he reach 500 post the new medal overwrite the first one. They can't have the two medals, when you reach a superior one the old one it's deleted.

It's possible to fix it?
Thanks!

So, our small changes to the plugin are working now.
If its allowed by the author we can send them in.

Changes include:
* Award_list not accessible for guests
* Awards set to "not active" are not shown in award_list and "striked-trough" in ModCP and ACP by default. Its ok, but they shouldnt be given to any user (doesnt make sense, so we disabled it)
* Awards can be given in ModCP by Global Moderators only
* Added an option to define whether that award can be given in ModCP or not
(The plugins we used in other forums had this option and sometimes there are Awards that should be given only by the administration)

Thanks.

I was upgrading to 4.0.8, and now there is no listing in nav for Awards.? (no listing in admin nav either)
It is still installed, just all links & references disappeared.
Not sure if it was from a php version, or a skin version, or even another mod that i upgraded/installed. (possibly tournament, or Twitch mods)
4.2.2

Thanks

vb 4.2.2 is the culprit. The current version does not support the new nav manager, so once you upgraded to vb 4.2.2 the method used by yaas for the nav no longer works. You'll have to manually create a nav tab. Compatibility with the new manager is planned for the next release, whenever RL gives me some breathing space.

Hi, is it possible to award members automatically with an award?
For example, if they hit 500 posts they get an award for making 500 posts?

Yes, install the automation addition.

Wow I'm really blind. Thank you!
