please follow the readme and the template Edits in the Install file and the readme file to get it fully working.

If you download this, upload the new .xml file to your Prodcts and let it overwrite everything.
This will Fix the URL appreance AND the Box in the Request Form where it now says "Recipient User ID" instead of the old "Recipient Username" and its a bit smaller for letting you know

Hope you enjoy, file is attatched

INSTALL: Read INSTALL.txt

This mod was developed from the YAAS - Yet Another Awards System mod by Hancho! You can find out all about it here --> Click Here <-- Great mod, please see his listed credits so everyone who has lead up to this variation can be honored!

Developed by Kristof aka JurGradi, a recently retired administrator of Tournament Gaming World and a good friend of mine for almost a year now, He is a brilliant web guru who has surprised me at every turn with his vast knowledge of well... everything! Most certainly TheLastSuperman's.... Superman!

Install instructions and everything you need should be in the zip, read it carefully and take your time, this works and has been tested on http://www.tournamentgamingworld.com/online in several styles. Some of the guru's out there can tweak it more to suit their tastes all we ask is credit where credit is due i.e. how we listed where the idea came from.

For questions or Support please post below and I'll attempt to help you in any way I can even buggin' JurGradi on occasion however he has included an installer which I have repackaged via .zip therefor it has all the required files in the zip plus the same content in an installer form included as well so choose your method!

If you like it click install and be sure to check out the Yet Another Awards System by Hancho!

Special thanks to my friend JurGradi for his development of Yet Another Ranks System!

*The General Stars are the mod* ignore the custom image I inserted via html in the user title area... I need to remove it now lol!

Update: Uploaded YARSRANKS.zip which contains ranks for tournaments/clans/gaming sites to use with Yet Another Ranks System, themes are for Battlefield 2142 & Call of Duty 4! Special thanks to Called for the graphics!

Try tinkering w/ this

find:

<if condition="$post['usertitle']"><div class="smallfont">$post[usertitle]</div></if>
			</td>

After add (*See Notes Below) :

<td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">	
<if condition="$post['usertitle']"><div class="smallfont">
<img src="http://www.yoursitename.com/images/yourimagename.gif"> 
</if>
</td>

*Revise the code, remove my image code and add your own code for almost anything also it does not need the

<td valign="top" nowrap="nowrap">

before or the

</td>

after the middle contents nor does it have to be called by

<if condition="$post['usertitle']"><div class="smallfont">

as I used it only to display what I wanted, you could even go down further in postbit and ......

		$template_hook[postbit_signature_start]
		
		<if condition="$post['signature']">
		<!-- sig -->
			<div>
				__________________<br />
				$post[signature]
			</div>
		<!-- / sig -->
		</if>
		
		$template_hook[postbit_signature_end]

then inside the hooks before or after the <if> </if> pair you could add your own code perhaps as a signature header, maybe a top or bottom border based on your site like for mine I could do a slim top header for the size everyone's signature should be that says TGW Sig!! or something else etc for example:

		$template_hook[postbit_signature_start]
		
		<if condition="$post['signature']">
		<!-- sig -->
			<div>
				__________________<br />
				$post[signature]
			</div>
<img src="http://www.yoursitename.com/images/yourimagename.gif"> 
		<!-- / sig -->
		</if>
		
		$template_hook[postbit_signature_end]

You can center that etc or make it any code just about or you can even call in the data/image etc via a custom field you created where the user could call the image or song or well whatever you can imagine!! And btw, there's that line just above your sig in the code there... you can remove it

Now, did you get my shade tree methodology or no? :erm: :erm:

Sorry, my brain works in mysterious ways.... maybe the Kryptonian in me eh?

Running version: 3.7.3 Patch Level 1

I have noticed in my changes to templates, the find text is not there. How do I go about adding or changing if it is not there.

[TheLastSuperman]

Hmmm, custom Style I presume? I have run across this before as we have over 5 styles installed in our forums.... The main is white, then for each tournament they have their own style to make it feel more like "home" or just to feel like they are here for their single game if they don't want to play in the other tournaments.

PM me a copy of your templates code and I'll see if I can help else I'll bug my hero JurGradi!

Whenever you have time - I will be on this weekend, I have to check a template of my own for FiMeTi and Wacko who had a question regarding his one-click thread approval of the ranks mod so best bet is to get it to me by tomorrow so I can schedule you in .
