Ummm a user of my forum reported me this error... But I was solved byself... Try to reactivate the plugin and give the user more medals... Good luck!

Can you also make it so that if an award is not active it shouldn't be displayed in postbit_legacy aka any posts or anywhere on the site at all? Kinda doesn't make sense why would it show on the site if it's inactive, not just the awards page.

Thanks.

Beta 2 style bugs:

If I use Postbit: Style 1 in postbit i get this result:
Attachment 109741

If I use the same in postbit_legacy, result is:
Attachment 109742

If I use Postbit: Style 2 I get the buttons like this:

I did this in the the awards postbit template and it's working fine now:
<fieldset style="border: 1px solid rgb(15, 16, 19);"><legend>

I'll tweak the conditional on displaying if the user has 0 awards.

Clicking on the Awards tab in the profile works fine:

Yes, that I do believe is a bug in vB 4.0. A few other users in other forums, and vB.com have posted on that.

With some of the CSS Style changes in vB4 it does seem that some issues exist. When I wrap only the awards with a border, it tries to wrap the majority of the postbit. I will check to see if I can better isolate this.

Again, thank you guys for helping me get this most tested and getting a lot of the bugs worked out in preparation for Gold release.

Sorry about bailing on the forums earlier today, my Internet went down and just came back up not too long ago.

For the users that were getting the SQL Grouping error, what MySQL version are you running? Although, I did fix it I do believe in the updated XML.

Is there by any chance any known conflicts with other mods? No matter what I try I can get nothing to show medal display in the postbit area. Using default style and the postbit template has not been altered. Medals show fine in the profile display.

Are they all added via hooks or is there anyway to be able to manually place them?

[CypherSTL]

Disable all other mods except for YaAS and see what happens.

And yes, all areas that the awards can display in the postbit are displayed using template hooks.

Is there a fix for this ?

In your AdminCP.
AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> General Settings -> Add Template Name in HTML Comments

Set to Off.
