Yes we will, but it will take some time, work and the holidays are hell right now.

Glad to hear so.

How can you make it so the thread isn't moderated on a forum that members don't have permission to post in? I know this can be done because the automatic threads work fine on the staff ap mod.

EDIT: Nvm I found a way around this.

[N2L Fatality]

Can anyone inform me how to install this to my forums. I have added everything that say upload to the correct directory but what do i do with the file that says product-yet_another_award_system-3.8.2?

What do I need to change to add the award name to the post title?

PHP Code:

I've tried the below code, and it's not doing the trick for me.

PHP Code:

$posttitle = construct_phrase($vbphrase['award_request_post_title'], "$award_name"); 


Any answer on this?
Currently any user requesting more than one award at a time appears like this in the thread's forum;

Award Request for Constara!
Award Request for Constara!
Award Request for Constara!
Award Request for COnstara!

Would be nice if the threads created also included the name of the award for obvious reasons.
Let me know if you don't have any idea how to accomplish this, and I'll resume trying to on my own.

Thanks.

I have attached examples. Example 1 is how it looks currently on the site. I have another site that runs something completly different (Example 2). I would like to have example 1 look like example 2.

I dont want the spaces in between each medal (example 1)

I would like it to default under the avatar like it is in (example 2)

I would also like it to default to rows of three or four medals per row like it is in (example 2)

Someone mentioned early in the thread about giving multiple of the same awards to an individual. When I give multiples of the same it just adds to the medal count. If you see in (example 2) there are silver or gold oak clusters (like real military medals) that get added for subsequent duplicate medals. Is this possible?

Thanks for any and all help...

second example is in postbit_legacy you have to chant it from postbit to postbit_legacy.

[deathdlr]

Thanks for the info Bouncer. I went in and looked at those templates but for the life of me I cant see what needs to be changed. Any help would be grately appreciated.

[Xanlamin]

You don't change the templates, you change in vBulletin Options > Style & Language Settings > Use Legacy (Vertical) Postbit Template and change from postbit to postbit_legacy

This is good news! This is one of the mods that I consider at the top of the list that I need when I move to VB4. Thanks for all of your work on this!
