love it! this is one of the few must-have mods that we used on grownupgamers.com. Great way to give custom awards for users who win leages or game nights or whatever... PURE GENIOUS! kudos to the authors!
I need some help i have no idea how to install this, could someone please give me a step by step instruction on how to install this please.
Download the zipfile of the mod. Upload all that is in the upload folder to the right ftp folders, as the are called. Everything in the "Images" folder goes to your images folder and so on. Then the three files that aren't in a specific folder go to your root.
Edit the templates as descibed in the "Member List Template Edit" text file. Then upload the xml. (Admin Cp --> Plugins and products - Manage products and at the bottom add/import product). That's it.
We give monthly awards (member of the month-type awards). Something useful would be an option to set an expiration date on award requests. Meaning, after a certain date, users wouldn't be allowed to request an award. It should be on per-award basis.
Okay...I've installed it and everything...I've uploaded everything and I'm not seeing anything to edit or add awards...I went into the Setting in vBulletin Options and I tried to edit the PM and Subject for whenever a user gets an award and it says the phrases could not be found.
Can I get some help - I made a backup of my awards tables using the Backup feature in AdminCP - how do I retore the tables now that I upgraded from 3.5 to 3.8?
