Boards that use the normal MySQL extension is working properly. I'm doing a lot of reading on the vBulletin Data Class so hopefully here soon I can get that taken care of.

If anyone can give me a bit of help on getting the award_memberlist.php to work on both MySQLi and MySQL I'd appreciate it.

The reason for this is your using MySQL commands instead of using vbulletin datamanager ones. Its actually a really simple fix and I have attached it.

Hello, I have the mod installed and just about everything is fine except for one bug (I'm using 3.7.4 PL1).

In the settings for sending the PM alerting the award recipient, I entered the user ID of the Admin we want to show as the PM sender. However, when the person receives the PM it shows the Admins user ID # as the sender instead of showing the senders name. When the pm is opened however, everything is normal and the pm looks fine when viewed. Any idea what might be wrong ? Thank you !

I have a right side column on every page on my board and the awards.php?do=viewaward page pushes my right side column all the way to the bottom.Is there anyway to fix it?

*edit: fixed.there was extra </td></tr></table> closing tags in the view awards template that messes with my side column template.

Works just fine thanks and nice job

This mod just isnt working very well for me. It doesnt send a PM when someone gets an award. When I checked it out, I clicked to change the body or the subject and got this: No Phrases Matched Your Query

Also, in the Awards tab in the profile, all the information about the award is in the single column under "Image" and the description area is blank unless I choose to show the image. I dont want the image shown because that is twice the work.

Anything that can be done? I looked through this thread a bit, but its like
