Disable the plugin, in a post here by sadiq it tells you to disable the plugin YAAS - Profile Tab and I bet if you do that, the second tab will go poof' .

I've done everything you said TheLastSuperman and nothing is working.

I have completely uninstalled and removed all files and started with a fresh upload changing what you told me to change. I still get the errors. I just guess I won't be using this mod

Hmm if I remember correctly this version of the awards left some tables still in your db... again not 100% sure on that but check your database, if you see tables associated w/ the Awards mod then you know that is the issue i.e. ensure the mod is uninstalled, then review the DB and remove any remaining tables - Now install it and it should work .

EDIT: This is not a issue, since I had "4" in the user to process awards - replaced with my real username and all is well. Not sure why I put my user ID in there...

[S]When users (and me) try to submit or recommend a award we get this (4 is my user ID, that I know):

Errors

The following errors occurred with your submission

The following users were not found:
4

It appears the "Request/Recommend" is going through, since I can grant them - so I guess the system is having problems with tell me (as the admin) that someone request/recommended award?

Also, once you grant a award the award request it is not dropping off the "Award Requests" page, is it suppose to?[/S]

[odie3]

sorry me again

Re-install sorted out the problem.... guess I mucked something up at some point. i feel like a moron

[S]I just got "Scary Dark" from Pure vB and it appears the Award MOD is not playing nice with members profile details.
1. Footer is rapping up at the tabs
2. clicking on any tab does not work (stuck on message)
3. none of the hotlinks on the profile column are not working (Send PM, Send Email, Home Page, etc).

I am going to uninstall, reinstall, do the profile updates for the floating tab but I am not sure this will correct it since this just started with "Scary Dark" (and Ranks Mod is operating properly).[/S]

That was my original (first) question.

How do I go in and find the database or what not. I need help or someone to walk me through that.

I am guessing to start at "cPanel X" which I am using and then go to the "Databases" section but then I get lost. Unless I should go to "PhPmyadmin" ?? I don't know 0.o

If you could walk me through to find/locate the database to this awards and help me remove it I would greatly appreciate that!

[odie3]

Yes, you want to go to PHPMyAdmin. Once there you will need to select your Database, then the very first thing you do is go to the "Export" tab and click "Go" so you will have a complete backup of your DB. Messing around in here can cause you bigger problems that you may not be able to recover from.

Then click the "Structure" tab.
Then select the "award" tables
Then check what you selected
Then check what you selected again
Then one last time check what you selected again

Once you are sure you are selecting the correct tables, scroll down to the bottom and from the selection menu box chose "drop". Once you confirm that is what you want to do the tables are gone. The only way to get them back (if you selected something wrong) is to restore from a backup (which should have been the first thing you did before dropping any table from a database).

Awesome; thanks odie3!

I have the mod running and working now.

NOW I have a new problem however; and I'm not sure what is creating this one because this time it isn't telling me. Basically now my site looks all messed up in 2 places: [S]On ones profile page[/S] and on the awards.php page.

It is like the skin/template is all screwed up.

Any solutions to this?

Thanks for all the help.

EDIT: Fixed the messed up template via ones profile page. The template is still messed up though for the awards.php link and when requesting/recommending awards. Really need that one since people will be focusing on those pages when they want new awards. I'm guessing it has something to do with me using a custom style since when I flip to the default one it looks fine. Bummer...
