Is it possible to add feature to delete mass awards for a member?

Also, would it be possible to log who gives awards in the admin logs?

Thanks in advance!

The second would be easier than the first, but I'll see what I can do.

Top 100 medal - hover shows '2nd Overall (2013)'
Top 100 medal - hover shows '4th Overall (2013)'
Top 100 medal - hover shows '99th Overall (2013)'

The most obvious but LONG way is to make 100 awards and just change the Name/Description but that would mean I have to do 100 links to icon and images, name and description; which is not practical.

Is there a way I can show the actual rank, such as putting the rank in the 'issue reason' box? At least, it's just one box rather than replicating 100 award with links to icon, images, name, description etc.

Right now it shows all with the medals as Top 100 (2013), which at the last resort I'll just have to accept. But it's weird as the guy 2nd Overall did exceptionally well whereas the guy who finishes 99th did good.

The reason why I can't replicate the awards 100 times, is there due to the fact that I have Top 1000 medals

thanks all

You can put whatever you want in the issue reason, but without altering the code you would not be able to put different items into the alt tags for each award.

How difficult would it be to set it up to automatically add a user to a usergroup upon issuing a certain award?

The only way to do it would be to alter the existing code since there are no hooks in the awards system. I might look at adding some hooks in later versions.

Did you ever see this post, Squid?

Anyway, my main point of this post: Can you please add a background to the content of the awards profile tab by default so it matches the others, such as About Me?

About Me Example: http://i.imgur.com/wc8OpvD.png

It's a simple fix, really. In the awards_memberinfo.css template, add a background to the following code:

#view-myawards .memberinfo_awards_row {
    padding: 6px 0;
}

Like so:

#view-myawards .memberinfo_awards_row {
    padding: 6px 0;
    background: {vb:stylevar postbit_lite_background};
}

Looks like this isn't as simple as I thought, because when I change Content Background in profile customization, it has no effect on the background there.

Good stuff squidsk ! Take your time it's not something I need now but it would help out a lot knowing who is giving awards to our members.

Thanks again in advance!

Which is more updated for the latest version of vb 4.x, this mod or this https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...+Awards+System

Since they are the same.

They aren't the same, they're close, since that mod is basically a copy of this one with tables and stuff renamed to enable having this modification installed twice; however, that mod has not had the last couple of updates that this one has had, which is noted by the last updated dates on the respective mod pages.

I have my maximum awards set to 3 in my postbit_legacy. Some of my members have been awarded more than 3 awards. They are asking for a way to be able to choose which awards are displayed in their postbit_legacy. Is this possible to implement?

Hi Squidsk,

So you're saying your mod is more recently updated?

I compared the two but your mod supports vb 4.0.2 while TheLastSuperman's mod support vb 4.1.x in general, and i was looking for one which supports vb 4.2.1 or closer. Does your mod supports vb 4.2.1?

But i do see your last update is recent compare to TheLastSuperman's mod.

Is there a way to import the award list and users http://forum.nihonomaru.com/awards.php from the 3.7.x version? or would i have to reissue these awards and recreate them?

It would be nice to have some sort of pagination per category like these below, is there any plan for this? I've requested this for vb 3.7.x long time ago, but it was never done for the version of vb 3.7.x, i really hope it gets implemented for the 4.x version http://www.nihonomaru.com/awards

something fun i did but not vb related http://www.nihonomaru.com/profile/yu...2/achievements

It works fine on vBulletin 4.2.1.

Anything is possible, but it isn't something I'm going to implement as letting each user select which awards, up to your maximum display amount, they want to display is not practical.

Yes, I've released updates more recently that resolved a number of issues that are still present in the ranks mod.

The version just means what is the lowest version of vbulletin that your mod supports. As the mod works on both versions there was no need to update the vbulletin version.

And yes this mod works with vb 4.2.1. The only thing it doesn't do is make use of the new navigation manager that came with vb 4.2, but you can add the navigation element manually so it isn't a deal breaker.

Is there a way to import the award list and users http://forum.nihonomaru.com/awards.php from the 3.7.x version? or would i have to reissue these awards and recreate them?

You don't need to do anything except make sure you're running the most recent 3.8 version
at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=196244. In theory you should be able to update from the vb3.7 version but I won't make promises and I'd recommend testing it on a test site before your live site and even then have a db backup ready to go.

Pagination per category likely won't happen, because even on your site if I used the vbulletin per page setting none of your categories would likely have more than 2 pages saving only the space of one or two awards. I would however consider making the categories collapsible.
