Ok. What does the phrase "Use ID for Usergroups" mean? Where would that go? I only see a text box for the "criteria" but not for the "Usergroup IDs?

[squidsk]

That means use the usergroupid of a usergroup not the usergroup name. For example if you wanted it to apply to the Administrator, you would use 6, the usergroupid for the built-in Administrator group, in the box.

Thanks again!

I love this mod, but am having problems with automation for time as a member. When I run it in the task scheduler, it'll pick up some but not all. It finally times out with this message.

PHP Warning: mysqli_query(): (23000/1062): Duplicate entry '32767' for key 'PRIMARY' in ..../includes/class_core.php on line 1386

For instance, I have awards for 1 yr, 5 yr, 10 yr, and 15 yr members. It leaves out the 1 and 5 year member, even though the award IDs are different.

The post count automation worked though.

I'm using VB 4.2.5 and PHP 7.1.28

Will you be making one for VB 5.5.1? Would Love IT!

I have 3.8.10 and want to go to 3.8.11 so I can upgrade to PHP 7.1. Does the 3.8.4 version work with .11?

Hi, whenever I use https:// in my award url, the overall award table doesn't show the images (but it does show the full url. Is there any way to fix this?

[jagtpf]

Is there any limit to how many users can be entered within the award listings?

We have one award that has 579 entries. We seem to be losing the latest few for no apparent reason that I can see. There's no error message, but the latest don't appear in either the list in AdminCP, nor the general list on the public Forum page, nor on the Users' profile.

Without seeing the exact page and the entries in admincp I have no way of being able to diagnose the problem. I do know that YAAS can handle https links by default.

There's no limit to the number of awards that can be issued, either per award or cumulatively other than the limits imposed by the database due to the field settings.

This is the vb4 version of YAAS not the vb3 version. You'd need to ask in the vb3 version of the mod. There have been considerable code changes between the vb3 and the vb4 version of the mod.

Make sure all the files are in the correct location. If you have renamed admincp/modcp the files will need to be move to the renamed folders, in the install they are located in default admincp/modcp folders.
