Has anyone installed this on 4.0 yet, and tried working with all of the evals, etc? If so, and you've had some success, message me a PM please.

Could I upgrade to vb4 now, and install the vb4 version later without losing our current users awards? (understanding that they wouldn't have them until the new vb4 version you're working on is done)

What I would recommend doing, is disabling the YAAS Product itself, then upgrading to vB4.

That way, YAAS is still "installed", that way when the new version releases, it wont try to overwrite your database tables and what not. Then, all yu'll have to do after you install the new release that I'm working on is re-enable the product.

I should also add that the current release of YAAS "will" install on vB4, the main area with the majority of the issues that we'll have to recode is a lot of the display code. The backend and what not still works flawlessly from what my testing as came across.

Any ideas?

You've made an error in one of your template edits. Triple check your modification and make sure you've put the edit exactly where the instructions tell you to place it. Also ensure you've typed the change exactly the way it's written in the instructions.

I have this same issue but only when i sort the awards Ascending (ASC). (When they are sorted by by Issue they show fine but I need to show them Ascendingly).

I have checked the template mod and it shows as follows:

<tr align="center">
<td class="alt1Active" align="$stylevar[left]" id="u$userinfo[userid]">
<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$userinfo[userid]">$userinfo[musername]</a>
<if condition="$show['usertitlecol']"><div class="smallfont">$userinfo[usertitle]</div></if>
<!-- show awards -->
<if condition="$vbulletin->options['cat_yaas_display_memberlist']">
$memberListAwardsPHP
</if>
<!-- /show awards -->
</td>
<if condition="$show['emailcol'] AND exec_switch_bg()"><td class="$bgclass"><if condition="$show['emaillink']"><a href="sendmessage.php?$session[sessionurl]do=mailmember&amp;u=$userinfo[userid]" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/email.gif" alt="email.gif"

etc etc..

Any suggestions??

Thanks in advance

On another subject. Is it possible to have the awards show in the "View forum leaders" area?

Are you using MySQL or MySQLi? If I do remember correctly, that PHP worked properly with one, but not the other.

I told you how they did that, IT IS TWO DIFFERENT HACKS....NOT ONE HACK DOING BOTH. One is Awards and one is Achievements.

Not sure if we will be able to get this to do it.

We have also decided to do 2 versions of the Mod, this would be something that would go into the second one with an yes/no tick to it.

We are starting to get some request in that would require the Mod to be coded on a per forum bases, as we really do not want to get into that what we will do is 2 version into one. A free version and a Pro version, the free version will contain everything you now see + a couple of extra features. A Pro version that will contain more custom features from request, it will be more extensive but features can be turned on/off, and the point values will be functional in the Pro version.

So far it seems that I won't get this done and ready to be released for 4.0 this week.

If anyone is familiar with this mod, the templates, and has experience with vB4 and would want to help me out with a few of my issues, please send me a PM or get a hold of me on AIM "CypherSTL".

Both will be worked on.

During the development of YAAS for 4.0, I will also be adding everything I add into 4.0 into 3.8.
