CREDIT:
Idea has been carried on by many people, here are some:
- Lesane for original Award hack for vB2, eventhough I've never use his hack
- AnimeWebby for Awards/ Medals/ Cards Hack [vB3], which I write new code based on his.
- Mac ycl6 for phpBB Medal System for phpBB forum
- Dr Erwin Loh for FORM TO THREAD/ FORUM/ PM/ EMAIL hack
- and all others for supports and ideas


IMPORTANT:
- BACKUP modified files and templates before making changes.
- Backup database is recommended.
- This hack is NOT compatible with AnimeWebby's Awards/Medals/CardsHack [vB3], you need to UNINSTALL his hack, before installing this one.

- PM/Email user when he/she get an award.
- Allow voting on user's award (by Arial)



which do you want to have in the hack first and anything else do you want to see for the next releasae?

[dssart]

Is there a way to allow only certain members of a group the ability to display an award? I want to offer the ability to display an award only to those who subscribe to my forum. Once their subscription ends, and if they are no longer part of a subscription group, I want the award to dissappear. Anything like this present in YAAS?

no, nothing like that yet.

so you want to allow some group to "see" the award list, and other people awards, or awards of those who are in some group being seen/not seen by all others?

[dssart]

No, sorry I'm not being clear..

I have a section on my forum which is for paying users only. All memberships for this group are handled via the VBulleting subscription system. If the member doesn't renew their yearly subscription, they are removed from the group automatically.

All paid members will be given badges. I want the award to automatically expire if the member is no longer a subscriber. Similar to how VBulletin will drop a user from a subscribers only group when they fail to renew their membership.

PM/Email user when he/she get an award.
Is one of the functions I really miss. So this one should be the 2nd moderation in this excellent hack (works like a charm, and because of the many phrases it's very suitable for a different-language-board :up: )

What I really, really (5 times) miss:

I'm a busy admin and it becomes more than very handy, just like the medal-mod on my old phpbb, if another moderator (or more moderators/crewmembers) could give the medals to the members.
So is there an option i can assign moderator(s)/member(s) to control the medals?
Create medals & categories should still be done by the admin only.
Maybe it's possible to cut a peace of the admincp-code into modcp?

Looking forward to some great coding-work by you

Thanks, but my time is alitbit tight right now, the next version wont be here for a while.

I will think more about this. currently, I give access to some people to get into ACP, and do the award management plus basic admin functions.

Ive set it up and it works fine apart from two things.

- When im editing categories or adding awards, it wants to keep forcing me to log in all the time...That could be a problem though with how i have the board setup.

- I have it set to send me pm's and within those PM's all the links are substituted for http://yourdomain.com...instead of my real domain. Obviously ive overlooked something but i cant find a referance to that hardcoded in any of the files.

should be. there's nothing special in the category editing part.

it is in template awards_request_formanswers
I think I have mentioned in the installation, didnt I?
