If you only use one language, it might be simpler for you to avoid making a new Phrase, and just enter in the text you want it to say.

Using Biker_GA's code (Hi from MO!), here are the steps to do that (this is assuming that you do not have the Template Modification System installed). When/if you upgrade you will NEED to re-do these steps, since upgrading usually removes changes like this (hence the very popular Template Modification System).

1) In your AdminCP, click the + next to the Styles and Templates, and then click Style Manager. For the Style you are using (if you use more than one, you'll need to do this for each style), click the drop-down and choose Edit Templates.

2) You will see a long list of templates and template categories. Scroll down to "Postbit Templates" and double click on that line (there are two possible Postbit options).

3) You are using the normal Postbit (name on top of the post), rather than the Legacy one (postbit_legacy, which displays the name on the left side). So double-click on "postbit".

4) You will see a large block of code. Take care when editing. I recommend immediately choosing the "Save in Template History" option and giving a name. That way, if you mess something up, you can revert back! Anyway, in that box, do a search for:

<if condition="$show['search']">
        <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=finduser&amp;u=$post[userid]" rel="nofollow"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[find_more_posts_by_x]</phrase></a></td></tr>
    </if>

There is that nifty "find" box at the bottom, or you can use your browser's normal search function. You might want to search for "find_more_posts_by_x" for ease of typing!

When you find that code, make a few new lines under it, and add this code there:

<!-----Request Award----->
                 <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="awards.php?$session[sessionurl]">Request Award for $post[username]</phrase></a></td></tr>
<!-----Request Award----->

Just to make sure, the code should now look like:

<if condition="$show['search']">
        <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="search.php?$session[sessionurl]do=finduser&amp;u=$post[userid]" rel="nofollow"><phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[find_more_posts_by_x]</phrase></a></td></tr>
    </if>


<!-----Request Award----->
                 <tr><td class="vbmenu_option"><a href="awards.php?$session[sessionurl]">Request Award for $post[username]</phrase></a></td></tr>
<!-----Request Award----->

Click Save and go check out a post (you might need to refresh in your browser - F5).

Does any one have any idea what might be wrong, I have this mod set to post a new thread when an award is requested.
It works great and all but in the thread I find this at the begining of each post:

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: awards_request_formanswers -->

and this at the end of each post:

<!-- END TEMPLATE: awards_request_formanswers -->

Anyone have any suggestions on how I can stop this from showing in the posts please?

[Biker_GA]

Did you make any manual changes to the template?

[Phantasmagoric]

You mean the awards_request_form template?

Set Add Template Name in HTML Comments to "No" in Admin CP vBulletin Options/General Settings

Thank you so much! May I ask yet one more question? How to I "associate the plugin with the award?"

When creating a new phrase, one of your options (from a pull down menu) will be which plugin to associate the phrase with.

[Cindyl10]

oh ok, lol, thanks so much!

As you can see here: http://www.hammerfistclan.com/forum/awards.php it would look much better if the column was widened.

Thanks.

I think this got overlooked.
