Ok just integrated it with more things like photos, news, donations, videos and much more. I know a LOT of people do not have what I am doing but can use same code and concept to work with any medal you have to create a hierarchy and have it auto cron the medals to the user with sending PM and can also send credits to the user. Will show some screen shots in a bit and show stage one of the code.

I also created two new templates for the PM so you can have like a MASTER level PM type of thing like I do. Much much more to come. Remember sky is the limit for this. I am customizing it for my setup but remember can be used for anyone and for any medal type. Can do over X posts or threads etc can do whatever you desire.

AWJunkies looks good. Can you try to make a vB 3.7.x product ?

3.7 is not even out of beta so why would anyone work on mods for it until it i completely done and been tested for another month or so on live sites. So I will not support 3.7 for at least month-3 months until it is completely bug free. I have to many sites with over 50k members that one slip up can cost me a lot. So will continue the support on this one for now. Also this cron job etc should work with 3.7 no problem not sure with the mod itself. Will do that testing when time comes. Also I should be done with the cron job and all the work on this before christmas. But to release it as another story. I have already gone through about 4 revisions of the code. It is almost as streamlined as it can get. Just need to do a few more big hook array's and will be ready for a release.

Can you tell me how to set this up please?

A_W_E_S_U_M_ !!!

Dude...u need to SHARE !!! :)

GREAT WORK !

Is it also possible to give or remove a award from a group of users (usergroup) instead of individuals? If not which modification can do this?

Can you explain this a little more, i'm not very good with php code.

Ok, I have a stupid question. I just noticed this:

Files to edit: 8 (/admincp/index.php, member.php, showthread.php, showpost.php, announcement.php, private.php, memberlist.php, /include/functions_online.php)

I didn't find anything that has anything with editing any of these files. Am I missing something?

is there anyway you could do something that, when you get so many awards it could assign you to a custom usergroup perhaps?

YES and already working on that within my cron job :) I can release it now but need to do instructions and HATE to do them anyone want to do the instructions and they can have the code. V1.0 is already done. I will contently be upgrading the cron job and system

Anyone know the changes in the file award.php?

I wouldn't mind taking a crack at the documentation.

god hack mate

It is only a few instructions just explaining what you can change to customize it for your board. Hit me up on AIM.

any plans to post this over to 3.7?

MAN the site admins need to make a POST to make aware that no developer will be working on any software till it is out of beta and been tested for few months and bug free meaning may be 3.7.1 or 2 before mods will be worked on for latest version. Be aware guys BETA is not made for LIVE sites! It is for test only to find bugs and fix before getting out of beta. Since code changes all the time within alpha and beta no coder should mess with it until it is finally released. That is just stupid programing.

I will be keeping up with this mod, since I have to have it on site, so expect me to keep this mod going for all later software upgrades.

This does work without issues in 3.7 Beta 3.

Working on even more features guys will be done soon. Was finishing up donation bar and donation mod.

i'm assuming you are referring to my question about assigning someone to a usergroup based on the number of awards you have, correct? If so, THANK YOU!!!! Awesome and cant wait!

can someone help me im new to all this
i have uploaded it but nothing works, there is no pics and when i click on award on my forum page it goes to "can not display this page"

FYI I will get back to this mod after Monday! I will be releasing my new donation system MOD about that time.

AWJunkies - many thanks for your work. Your cron jobs are exactley what im looking for

I highly anticipate your release. My main requirements are giving auto awards on X amount of posts and also for X usergroups.

Looking forward to it - many thanks again !

I can give you the cron to mess around with but not supported till after I am done with this donation system. It may go another week or two depending on when I will be happy with all the features.

that would be great m8 - i can have a play in the meantime

u have a nice forum btw ;)

Anyone?

One small problem. I created a Automated Bot user to give out the awards in place of the moderator or admin (userid 0). When entereing the user ID it doesnt want to see anything past the first digit. So with the user ID entered 19344, it sends the PM or email from userID "1". Change it to 15 and it does the same thing (sends it from USERID "1").

If set to 0 it works fine.

Great Mod and works really well!

Post your Postbit template. Any other Mods installed that alter the postbit?

could you pm that to me pls bro ?

cheers

About to change it old version is php4+ compliant but going to use speed features of php5+ to send all the PM's when there is mass amount of people who qualify for awards. I should be releasing the Donation MOD tomorrow then getting back to this. AGAIN sorry for delay I hope you guys like the donation mod :)

It would be nice to get this updated for vB 3.7 using the new TABs in the member profile

Agreed!

Yes, without the memberinfo template. No Go there even after trying to add it back into the blocks.

Were there suppose to be 5 medals with this? I only have one.

I have a question, I don't know if it's a bug or an error on my part. I placed a link to the award list/description page which has the "request award" link on it. I filled out all of the info in the award manager and checked the user ID (mine) over and over thinking it must be the problem. What happens is a user puts in a request for an award and submits it. Then the next page is an error message stating;

In my award settings, I have;

From Userid for Congratulation PM and/or Email (field highlighted yellow) "my own user ID#"

Award request Forum ID "0"

Award request Thread ID "0"

Award request PM address "my user ID#"

Award request email address (highlighted yellow) left blank

Am I just overlooking a simple setting or is this a possible bug? Otherwise this award system is exactly what I was looking for. If I could figure out this tiny problem it would be perfect, great job!

hi everyone,

I am not sure if this mod or other mod caused this but after installing this hack with 2 more hacks, server load reached max etc.. Does anyone know if this modification eats a lot of queries ?

Need more info on what Vb version you are using and these other mods. This mod should not have this effect.

Also sorry guys almost done with donation system so stay tuned for that then I will get to this mod. Just so much on plate at moment.

I installed this on my board 3.7 beta 3 and everything shows up fine, even in the memberinfo.

You can check it out on my site (battle-lands.com)

No one has had any issues with it at all.

the other day I upgraded forums to 3.7 beta 4 and hack still works with no issues.

I've had this nice mod working for a long time - even upgrading from 3.5. to 3.6. without any problems. After i installed a custom template it has stopped working. Everything looks fine except awards doesn't show up in user profile. Tried to upgrade and overwrite mod without succes and I even removed and reinstalled it - still without succes. Running vb 3.6.8. Patch Level 2. Any ideas what could be my problem?:confused:

Will there be a 3.7 release? When I tried to install this, the reputation display went haywire. Granted, 3.7 is still in beta, and there are bound to be issues.

The only other mod in the template is an unrelated if condition. I highlighted the mods in read.

Here it is:
