Version 4.0.2 of this mod has been released.

* Added 'No Display' option for Awards Showcase in postbit
* Fixed MySQL/MySQLi code error
* BBCode Correctly Parsing
* File edit in member.php no longer needed
* admincp/avatar.php removed from hack

I haven't been able to dig into getting HTML customized awards, but BBCode is correctly parsing.

Hi Cypher :0) thanks for the updates. I have a question, is it possible to do this ? To have multi pages, i mean each page can may be have 20 awards or so ?

So i mean something like this

I'd have to look into how to code something like that, but yes, it is possible.

I feel like my post has been ignored.

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

works great! Is there a way to get this to show on the member info page in one of the blocks?

This would be awesome if we could add triggers that automatically give a user an award, as an example, a user would automatically get an award for posting 100 posts, or by having 150 profile views. or by creating their first thread.

this could be very useful instead of having to manually keep track of things.

i've installed this and would love to see this improved upon some more.

I'm trying to have the "small award icons" load into the mini stat box on the right, but can't figure out what the code is.

for example, i can get a profile field to show by adding $userinfo[field12] etc. Is there a simple code I can add to make a users awards show here a well?

[rob01]

how many queries this stuff adds to the postbit / user profile?

I have been working on that on the side, I was hoping to get it into the 4.0.2 release, but I've been running into some bugs with that.

UPDATE: I have this added, and working for the next release. The code is a bit "dirty". I'm used to coding in straight PHP, so I'm not used to using the vBulletin Data Manager, so I currently have this executing via an Included PHP File.

That is another aspect that I would love to be able to add, I'm just not sure how I would go about coding something like that.
