[HTL] & [TXT] Awards/Medals/Cards Hack [vB3]

Awards/ Medals/ Cards Hack [vB3]
By: AnimeWebby
Idea by: Lesane
Updated: 28nd May 2004 - Installer not table prefix friendly.

What this hack does:
This hack allows you to add awards, medals or cards to your vbulletin and assign these to members who you think deserve them.
These graphics will then show up in their member profile and/or their postbits depending on where you choose to add this hack.

New in v2
- Extra page showing all awards available as well as all the users who have earned an award.
- Support for full urls and relative ones for award icons.
- Support for awards on showpost and announcement

Other Stuff:
Although I give credit to Lesane for the idea this hack is totally recoded to be less server intensive and also uses a whole lot less queries. Therefor I do not consider this a 'port'.

Installation:
Download the appropriate .Zip file and follow the instructions in the readme file.

Upgrading:
So far there are no ways to upgrade this hack, if you have an old copy installed then you need to uninstall and reinstall from scratch.

Coming Soon:
- Awards added to the search and memberlists.
- Added functions to the addition of awards as well as cron functions to assign awards automatically to those members with 'X' posts, registered 'X' days etc...
- Option to show award name rather than graphic.
- Option to turn awards OFF & ON in postbit and memberinfo
- Request award on awards page (at Cyricx' request)
(not necessarily in that order)

Make sure you backup your files and database first! This hack has been tested on vB RC1 and RC4 only!

Please click the install button

If you experience any errors, problems or the hack doesn't seem to be functioning correctly then send me a pm with the following info:
- HTL or Standalone installer.
- Version of vB you are running.
- File where error is encountered.
- Exact error or description of error.

If you installed this hack before 23rd May and are getting foreach errors in your showthread then follow the step below:

In /includes/functions_showthread.php find:

PHP Code:

    // sorts through all the stuff to return the postbit template 


below that add:

PHP Code:

    // user awards
    global $userawards; 


If in your showthread.php member post counts show N/A, they have no profile link or their user title is guest you MUST run 'Fix broken user profiles' in the update counters part of the admincp. This is found under the nav bar 'Import & Maintenance' > 'Update Counters' > 'Fix broken user profiles'. This will add the awards for all the users currently in your database and prevent showing incorrent member info.

I use 3.0.1
Everything is perfect except the award doesn't show in the postbit. Suggestions?

[Intex]

Make sure you have this bit of code in your postbit or postbit_legacy template (depending upon which one you use). If you're not sure put it in both:

$post[userawards]

Also make sure that you have awards.php in your forum root (/forum/awards.php) and award.php in your admincp (/forum/admincp/award.php).

[Roxie]

Yes, it's there. Still nothing.

[Roxie]

Okay, if I change it to $post[awards] they show...but after the awards are a bunch of red x's ...like missing images...

For example, the person has one award (or even no awards) and the award they have is followed by 15 broken image boxes??

[InfiniteWebby]

Roxie, PM me your showthread_functions.php file as well as what installer you use, what vb version and the url to your forums.

[Roxie]

I sent a pm but couldn't send the file...it was too large.

[Roxie]

Does anyone have the text so that I can edit my php files manually?

Webby,

What is the update? is there any new features/bug fix ...? Did you make any changes to the code, or just make changes to installer? Do we need to "upgrade"? (if yes, then how)

[InfiniteWebby]

It was just a change in the installer. If you used vb3_ as your table prefixes and your forums seem to be having troubles then no need to do anything. Otherwise just make sure your useraward and awards table in your forums db has the appropriate prefix.

Anime,

I have rather "wide" awards that I use in the postbit and they show up brilliantly there, as designed, but in a users profile is lists them horizontally and not vertically, and as I said before, my awards are quite wide, how can I make them show up vertically. I just don't want the forum width to be stretched. Here is the example:
