@ Chikkoo - It has been stated that points only work when running mysql 5. Uninstall the mod and then drop all the tables that deal with it and then reinstall.

@ Spadow - The automation is where you will be able to assign an award to happen for a specific event (i.e. place a member in certain usergroup, reach a certain amount of post and so on) A cron will run every day (would set it fo every 24 hours if you have a large board) and upon running it will do what you set it to do, it will add/remove awards based on the criteria you selected. Useful for giving awards when someone donates and they get placed into a usergroup for doing it.

@Xanlamin: Do you mean it's going to be added in a future update? I can't seem to find any option for that kind of automation within the award system. Or do I have to set up the cron jobs myself?

EDIT: I found a bug. If you quick edit a post and you save changes then your award disappears. (in this case -> userinfo_right (postbit legacy))
When you refresh the page, your award is back.

Your bug is a glitch in the caching of the site, vB itself, not of the mod.

Unfortunately the automation will only be available for those with vBulletin 4.0

If it's only in 4.0, why is it listed in the 3.8 topic? Uninstalled.

Because at the time there where talks of it going into both. We have discussed it last night and there is a possibility of going ahead and putting it in for vB 3.8 also.

This issue is still present when attempting to give an award via the ModCP. Is award.php in the ACP and MCP supposed to be the same?

I'm glad I took the time to read this to the end. I was JUST about to install this based on "Automation" as advertised, but now that I see it's not (yet) implemented, I would rather wait until it is.

This is something lacking from ALL award systems I have tried for 3x and I would like to add my request here to have this added to the 3.8 version also. Being able to automatically grant awards to users when they achieve certain things is exactly what I am looking for.

Please add automation to the 3.8x version!

Another vote for a 3.8x version! Please! :up:

It doesn't appear in the nav bar, it doesn't appear in the post bit, it doesn't appear anywhere on the forums. Why?

Install the XML, give someone an award, and add a link in your Navbar to awards.php
