Wow.. thanks Ottoman :bunny:

lol, why were you not arround before :banana:

Any news on the following yet please?

I am getting an error on certain users awards in Firefox (they are OK in IE).

Take a look at http://midlandsweather.org.uk/showth...61#post1007361

I would love some help please

Wow, THANK YOU very much! I've been looking for this!!!! Thanks, installed quick...more like 5 minutes or so. Still...very easy to install and I'm virtually brand new to all of this. I suggset using IE to do the template edits since FF doesnt search w/in the tables when using the Find (ctrl F) feature :)

Thanks!

Any way to move the awards showcase over to the LEFT side of the postbit (under a user's name)? Right now, our gifts and ribbons are making it pretty long and with the added awards showcase, it's just ridiculous looking now. Would be PERFECT if it could be moved over to the left.

It's kind a sucky that the Author of this script visits this website but shows no interest supporting this Hack anymore.

Hi,
am I missing something? I extracted the zip, but in the include dir there was no settings.award.php, only the folder xml with the bitfield and the cpnav_ in it.
Thank you for help!

Did you download the LAST zip listed?

YetAnotherAwardSyste m3.5 v212.zip

Checked it again just after yoiur reply, the file is still misssing! Probably anybody could attach that?

Can anyone help me please?

I've installed the hack as instructed and made the necessary template modifications. But after I've edited the templates theres nothing in the ACP regarding the awards system.

I've uploaded the xml file via plugin manager and I've uploaded all the files to my server

I might as well give you the file locations

/forums/Awards/award.php
/forums/Awards/award_cat.php
/forums/Awards/awards.php
/forums/Awards/bitfield_awards.xml
/forums/Awards/cpnav_awards.xml
/forum/forums/Awards/medal-blue-gold.gif
/forums/Awards/medal-blue-gold.gif
/forums/Awards/request_award.php

Any help is greatly appreciated

Might sound daft, but have you tried a hard-refresh (ctrl + F5)?

Might work, might not, but its worth a try :)

EDIT: Howay Anth, put your brain in gear!

Check the green in the quote for what the locations should be:
When you upload the stuff from the UPLOAD folder in the zip, just copy everything as is - ie dont copy individual files, copy the folders too - this will put everything in the right places for you :)

Thanks alot. Thats solved my problem.

Greatly appreciated

No problems at all :)

Just wanted to say thanks, this is working like a charm for me in testing. It took me a bit to realize the postbit changes needed to take place; but once I figured that out, smooth sailing.

Those of you in the same situation, but wondering where this information is, it is in your docs folder as an htm file called "awards_install_template.html"

Good stuff.

Anyone able to help with the firefox issues mentioned previously? I have users moaning at me and it I cant get ti fixed I will have to turn it off - not something I particularly want to do :(

OK I've managed to sort it out. I did notice at least one other person had the same issue after I raised it so here goes. In the awards manager make sure the paths to the images have a / and not a \

Simple, but effective. To be fair I think it only effected awards I added/created myself not the original ones.

:( well, this is strange, i'm testing in vB default style... somehow in memberlist, when i add the award column, this is replaced and inside the msn+ icons are shown, in the end i show avatar, and avatar isn't there, but one column to the right.

It's only one code changed and that happens, no other hacks installed, any ideas why is this happening? thanks.
I'm in 3.5.4

EDIT
u.u sorry, i forgot one step in install instructions.

I guess I'm going to install this because the other awardshack is dead :(.

Anyway.. Is there a possibility to let Moderators give members awards?

Can you tell me the use of the record , in the table award_user?

No, I am not interested in assigning awards to groups, and it'd be easier to setup group's RANK for this purpose (user rank manager)

I cant see any error, (in FF), so how should I help? describe the error, with screen captures would be helpful


yes, it is possible. you need to move the first part that you need to edit in MEMBERINFO to the location that you want to see. Some basic HTML is required for you to know exactly where you should put it to fit your style.



well, no. not for right now, unless you allow your moderators (create a seperated award mod group) to access admincp)


issue_id is to record/seperate IDs of different award issued (same or different awards) given to some user


yeah I know, it's bad, but I think I stated somewhere, that I've been so busy, that cant give support at the moment. "visiting" this website, for few minutes doesnt give me enough time to answer all questions, you know.

I hope other experienced user can give a hand too, or if there is big issue, you can contact me directly via PM.

That's fine for me but then should they be able ONLY to give Awards.
And since I can't give that rights with default vBsettings..

I would really liked it when you made something so also moderators (or a group) can give awards!

A while time ago, I installed the old version 1.2 for 3.0.x, but I didn't uninstall it. Then I upgraded to 3.5.x a few months ago, and now I want to install this version 2.1.2, but the old version 1.2 is still in the database, thus duplicate entries and it won't install. Can you give me the queries needed to run in order to completely remove the old YAAS 1.2 hack?

I tried to use the uninstall (for 3.0.x) to run on 3.5.x but it won't do any good. Can you help? Thank you.

There is a tutorial here on vB.org for adding things to the Mod CP menu. When I find some time (at this rate in July/August) I will have a shot at putting the Awards stuff on ModCP for this (I need to "outsource" a bit myself).

Not saying it will happen though. I have zero coding knowledge so it will be pretty hit and miss for me.

mtha - hope the workload drops off soon :)

the new version supposed to check for old version and upgrade database to 2.x with out problem.

if you really want to remove them manually, try these: (add table prefix if you use it)

[SQL]DELETE FROM settinggroup WHERE grouptitle LIKE 'awards';
DELETE FROM setting WHERE grouptitle LIKE 'awards';
DELETE FROM phrase WHERE (varname LIKE '%award%' OR varname LIKE 'setting_aw%') AND languageid = 0;

DROP TABLE IF EXISTS award;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS award_user;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS award_cat;
[/SQL]

Thanks, the queries took care of my problem. Maybe I didn't check the box Overwrite to yes to have it upgraded my tables.

/me clicked installed

Hello, where can I edit the language of the hack? :)

in vb's language section. or if you installed my Advanced Product Management, you can get there and edit phrases

Does anybody know if this will work with VB3.5.4 or is there going to be an update for VB3.5.4 ?

It works nicely on 3.5.4 for me. :)

Nice one tei727 i'll give it a shot, thanks for you reply :D

And working on 3.5.4 here :)

Thanks both, i've now installed it and its working fine :)

this is exactly what i was looking for...i love the idea...i hope it works well

Just pressed install for future use !!

this is a great hack.. i run a poetry site... and i was trying to come up with ways to award the members for their work... AND TO ALLOW THE OTHER MEMBERS TO INTERACT to make it unbiased..

you did a really good job!

Hi Paul,

is there a possibility to:
1. edit the administrator permission for the awards-menu option? (so it's an radio button at adminpermissions.php?do=modify
2. let moderators give awards?

THANK YOU!!!!!!

/clicks install

Thank you so much for offering this hack!!!!! It is wonderful. Instructions were perfect and installed perfectly. However I have a few questions.

1. The PM message title says: "Congratulation! You have got a new award!"

I like it to say "Congratulations" and modify the message somewhat. How would I go about doing this?

2. There appears to be 1 medal available. How do I get more medals and how do I upload them into the system?

3. Request medal does not seem to be activated. No permission message seen when clicking on request. How do you activate?

Thank you so very much!!!!!!!!

:banana:

I got this error when reading posts after installing de xml

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

Did all of the template changes, i installed YAAS 2.1.2 On VB 3.4.5

I hope sombody can help me with this error.
The error occures when sombody try's to klik a forumpost.:confused:

P.S. I readed al of the post in this tread, its defenitly no Guest post

Regards

I am working out how to sort out #1 - I am guessing that its a phrase somewhere, but when I suss it I will let you know :)

#2 - In your ACP, check under Award System. There will be an option called Add New Award. Fill in the fields there for an award you have designed (using a graphics program) and uploaded somewhere on the net. Put a name and description in them boxes, the link to a pic you want to use as an icon (the one that will show on the postbit) in its box and the link to a bigger pic you want to use as the main award image in that box. Choose a category (if you want) and where you want it to be on the Awards page (display order) and click the save button. You have to design your own awards, but I remember seeing in the Graphics forum here that someone has released some for use :)

#3 - Have you allowed your usergroup to request awards? If not, head into the Usergroup Manager in your ACP and edit the usergroup you want to allow. At the bottom of the Usergroup options page there will be Awards Permissions- Can request awards. Choose Yes and save. That should do that :)

EDIT: Worked out #1 - I was right, it is a phrase. Head into Languages & Phrases -> Search in Phrases in the ACP. Search for award_pm in "Phrase Variable Name Only". You will probably see three sets of results - "vBulletin Settings Phrases Containing 'award_pm'", "Email Subject Text Phrases Containing 'award_pm'" and "Email Body Text Phrases Containing 'award_pm'". Of them, look at the middle two - they are what you want (award_pm). Click Edit on it and put what you want the title to be in the "translation" box. Click save and it will be done :)

If anyone wants to add this to their ModCP, I made a simple plugin for it...don't forget to put award.php in your modcp folder if you use it...

My problem is...how do I let Mods do this without giving them supermod permissions...maybe I just need sleep and it'll come to me. Suggestions anyway?
