Would it be possible to have as one of the display locations for the awards in the postbit to be in the center (see attachment)?

I'm running the old version, and want to upgrade to work with the new profiles. Can someone walk me through, step-by-step, what I need to do (most specifically, how to do the phpmyadmin stuff)?

Thanks in advance.

You should only have to
1) upload the files to your directory and overwrite them.
2) Go to ACP > Manage Products > Add/Import Product. Select the produc and switch the box to YES for upgrade, and enter it. It should upgrade and still keep your current awards.

What about the phpmyadmin stuff that was mentioned earlier in the thread? Backing up the 2 tables, then inserting the values back in?

Frickin awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Haven't checked in for awhile.. any update on the 4.1 update (adding points to each award)?

[gamerfu]

What needs to be fixed is the Award display in AdminCP: ASC and DES or Newest or Oldest first. It doesn't work on my forum.

Display of Awards never work when I toggle through all the possible options.

THANKS!!!!!! NICE TO SEE THIS!

Myself and a friend also made a spin-off "Yet Another Ranks System"

Find it here --> https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=194043

It has re-usable code so you can see if any will help yours out!

But it was nice to see you updated this, especially if we upgrade to 3.7 anytime soon

Edit: Also If anyone wants Awards for a COD4 or BF2142 style tournament just PM me and I'll post them for DL in my mod as I stated in post#2

Is this mod no longer supported?

hes around .. but also works for himself and is the last time I read was on a project ...

If you use the old YAAS before this one and want to keep your database tables you need to back them up and then restore them after the upgrade -

This was a stumbling block for me also and then I finally bit the bullet and did it -

I have access to my SQL databases via my hosting account with godaddy ...

I went into the admin tool and backed up my 3 databases ... saved them to my desktop and then upgraded the system and took out my template edits and installed the new 4.0 system and then restored my databases over writing the new ones.

My awards given out were still there and who I gave them to ..

I also asked a DBA I know for some help ..
