a wish for next version:

in acp a table, there i can see all awards-pics (like the smilies)
i send the pics to root, give the link into the table and my subadmins can look, which awards they can use.

i hope, you understand this

If I goto /forums/awards.php I can see all of the awards and who received them. How can I make this a link for all members to view? Is this an option and Im just missing it?

TIA, excellent mod so far! We're having fun with it LOL

edit: nm. Figured out how to do it.

I added this line after the line for FAQ in the Navbar template:
<td class="vbmenu_control"><a href="awards.php?$session[sessionurl_q]">Awards</a></td>

Goto your admincp, Award Manager, on the award you want to remove from someone goto Give Award To User, once there you will see a list at the bottom of who all have the award along with a check box that says remove. tic the check box then click remove.

I can't believe I am about to do this BUT I AM....

I just upgraded to this version this morning and I had to upload all of our awards that we made blah blah blah...got everything working GREAT....except when anyone including admins go to request it says we don't have permission (it's my site..I have permission..lol) anyway and it won't show in the nav bar..I have 2 nav bar's. I am so sorry to ask simple questions and I know better but I have been up all night doing this and I have members chomping at the bit for these.
Thank you in advance for any help, and please except my apologies.

Thanks for the new release, uninstalling 2.1.4 and installing 4.0.

Few issues I noticed: (note this is on 3.6.10)

1. Email being sent says the award is from User 1 - It does not display user 1's name.

2. When I click on an award in the postbit, it takes me to the users profile, yet it is not showing up in the users profile.

3. When you go to Product Manager in AdminCP and click on the Yet Another Awards system product, it takes you to the 2.1.4 thread instead of this one.

Just thought I would point these out. Maybe with #2 I am over looking something but thought I would throw it out there.

[wwolf27]

I to agree with SVTCobraLTD...and I noticed that I have my images on my awards list for all to see and in the Award Manger BUT when you issue the award and they get it there is no image....just
