Xanlamin,

Have you receive permission from HacNho to rerelease his modification with minimal changes to make it work with 3.7.x?

[koxito]

Well my forum has this mod in the version before this one. and i've allready customized the way that my awards are shown, ¿is there a way to set the templates manually?

I have a heavily modified previous version of YaAS, what are the main differences here?

His mod was released with re-usable code which allows for it.

Not that it matter but he only comes on to vb.org like 2 times a month, he does not reply to PM's nor emails sent to him by me, he does not support any of his hack anymore....so someones gotta.

Don't take this the wrong way but I use this hack a lot and so do many others and all of them want it for 3.7...so if he won't who will?

It really was a very simple conversion minus the timestamps...kept over looking a missing ' in the code.

Re-Usable code is open-source.

This version does not do any template changes, it caches the postbit and adds the appropriate variables for it to show in the postbit. This will allow for users to upgrade there boards without affecting the mod, and also allows for easy fixes for when major releases of vBulletin come out (4.0, 4.1 and so on where major changes to the code are done).


If anyone would like to make suggestions on what you would like to see implemented into this please let us know.

If you would like to forward me what changes you have done we can find a way to have them auto done (as a display option selectable by the user) to where if they like that output they can also choose it.

Are your changes in the postbit template or some other?

well i love this mod.
My favorite one by far.
Is there a Revoke Medal Option??
*FIGURED IT OUT*
I think there should be an easier way to revoke medal, like a nav button in the admin panel, or in the "Award Manager* Like how u see, - - Games Played [Mass Move] [Edit] [Delete] [Add New Award]
Maybe you should add a "Revoke Medal" one too

Also add maybe a "Use a comma to award this medal to more than one user" function.

Award Name: Extreme loyalty Commendation Medal
Award Description:
Issue reason: You Have Reached At Least 1k Games On Your Account.
Issue time: August 09, 2008 1:43 AM

How come the Award Description never shows? err. it doesnt show when awarded to a user!

In the settings, is it set to display on the left or right?

[FReeSTER]

Everytime I give an award the PM comes out with a diferent user I choose to send the PM.

Example. My User ID is #1 and the PM was sent by User ID #4

How can I change that problem since I have all configuration like is suppose to
