Hi

I've already installed 3.7 version in my forum and couldn't get it to work. Then I've found out this 3.8 version and uninstalled the previous one and installed this. Still don't get it to work.

The issue I'm having is the impossibility of giving an award to any user. I can created categories, manage categories, or even delete them. I can create awards, but can't either edit or even list them in the admin panel or in the mod panel. Even though I can list them in the forum invoking the awards.php in the root of my forum. There I can see all the awards I've created but once again I can't manage them.



I've searched for file permissions issues, bitfield permissions in the admin panel, and even uninstalled and installed it twice.... but there is nothing I can do to get the ability to give my users the awards.

Is there anything I missed up that anybody can help me with ? I'm really frustrated with this mod, since it looked very promising, but could not get it to work.

Would really appreciate any help from anybody

Hmm not sure unless you can provide some more info... perhaps it's the TYPE=MyISAM that needs to be changed to ENGINE=MyISAM.

Open the product.xml file, there are three areas in the top 100 lines of code they look like:

TYPE=MyISAM

Replace those three instances of that code with:

ENGINE=MyISAM

See if it will now install the data, if it does then that was the issue if not then we'll need more info to assist, the "data is not installing" is a pretty blanket statement in a sense when troubleshooting, could be various things.

That fixed it thank you!

What if any error messages are in your log after you install the mod?

You might have the same problem as the person below you. Uninstall the mod. Make the changes listed 2 posts above mine to the product.xml file and then re-install the mod.

i use this version with fresh uploaded files on my vb 3.8.6
and i see white page on awards.php and awards_memberlist.php
any idea whats going on ?

when Iadd at the begining ini_set("display_errors", true); i can see:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare construct_depth_mark() (previously declared in /home/xxxx/domains/xxxxxx/public_html/awards.php:99) in /home/xxx/domains/xxx/public_html/includes/adminfunctions.php on line 1832

here is line: 99

function construct_depth_mark($depth, $depthchar, $depthmark = '')
{
// repeats the supplied $depthmark for the number of times supplied by $depth
// and appends it onto $depthmark
for ($i = 0; $i < $depth; $i++)
{
$depthmark .= $depthchar;
}
return $depthmark;
}
// end functions

The problem is you have another product that is not as self contained as it should be, so it has forced a "required_once" on adminfunctions.php which is conflicting with yaas. The easiest way to fix this, other than determining which other product is causing the problem and getting them to fix it, is to rename the function and all calls to the function in awards.php (rename it to yaas_construct_depth_mark or something to avoid other function name collisions).

Where is the link located for the recommending an award to someone? I can't find it anywhere and I did set those options to yes.

[Mobo]

It is located to the far right of the Awards page.
