I can't wait for a release.. :)

I've tried implementing AnimeWebby's mod a couple of times on my test forums (3.0.7), but came across several bugs. Probably because it hasn't been properly updated since it's 3.0.0 release.

it's gonna be yommy :D but you have to wait :P

Actually I installed AnimeWebby's hack months ago, never have a chanceto use it. somehow, got interested in the idea again, install again,and ... now ... NOT yet another hack :D

looking good any idea when it will be released?

No hack, not in the release forums.

Moved to general mod discussion

Looks great, I really like that you offer a way to add awards that doesn't require access to editting users.

Looks great so far mtha..I know you kinda touched on this in the other thread, but anything you can do to simplify the installation would be appreciated. Even if it's just cutting down the number of files that need to be edited over AnimeWebby's hack.

Another suggestion..a time based award. I award many of my members for subscribing to my forum. Would be great if the award would expire (dissappear) if they are no longer members of the subscribers group.

will try to make it less pain. I dont like having to edit too much eitherm but what need to be done still ... you know :D

hmm, interesting. the award time will be recorded in the database, and I dont know if "expire" time be critical.

Depends on purpose, there might be a expire time, or just a cron job as an add-on. Right now, I wont worry about this yet.

Mtha,

How are you going to be presenting the awards?

Will it be the same way that the current vb hack works or in the same fashion the phpbb system works?

Reason being I dont' think the vbversion does a very good job at all it's highly impractical.

Here's my original thread I posted to show what I meant:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=77525

The way the existing vb hack works would mean and insanely long list of names and medals, that would go on for ever, whereas the PhPbb version does a far better job of displaying the information.

Obviously what is of interest to many of us is that the hack be easy to install/uninstall or be version non-dependent (next to impossible) so it does need to have an uninstall option, but also that there is a cohesive format for displaying medals / awards.

I am actually happy to make a decent dontation via paypal to you if you can ensure that it works out in this fashion as opposed to producing a product with no uninstall option and a poor display option.

I am also aware of others who would make contributions to the hack and still obviously allow it for free use to others if we can be sure it's going to tick all the boxes.

What do you think?
