[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 have it installed on 3.0.3 and it's working just fine. In fact, I have about 30 hacks on my 3.0.3 and I have no errors whatsoever! You can find a link to it in my sig, but it has not been grated public access yet. It will be opening soon, so all I can say now is that it works just fine on 3.0.3! I have attached a screenshot for everyone to see that it does work on 3.0.3! Hope everyone that needs help, gets it working soon!

After AnimeWebby pointed out the mistake I must have made everything works great. I have installed MANY hacks and even went over my work a second time before asking for help form the author but it was still user error on my part.

Thanks AnimeWebby! Great hack!

I am running vb 3.0.3 btw.

Um, I cant find file modification instructions in this download? (NORMAL) ?

Great hack im using it

I can't get the awards to "stick" to the member I give it to. In the adminCP, I go to the user, choose the award (only have 1 installed at the moment), click "yes", hit "save", but it does not save. Any ideas?

*edit* I've gone through all files/templates 2x now. Still no dice.

Also, I've installed this hack about 3x on other sites running 3.0.3. The hack works fine for them...but not on this latest one. Could it have something to do w/ the fact that I also have uShop and the Arcade hack installed?

It's just odd though, that the setting just won't save. That seems to be the only problem.

I have all 3 hacks installed on my 3.0.3 vB and I have no errors or bugs whatsoever...

[apokphp]

Well damnit...I don't know wuttup. What file determines if that is to be saved or not? Could it be a setting instead??

I thought this would be admincp/user.cp, but I've made sure that the code edits are correct there.

Also, I used HTL, and I'm using 3.0.3.

That's probably the difference. I don't trust HTL hacks anymore since I had to removed the HTL hacks from an old forum when they didn't work correctly. I use manual/regular installs now, and everything works just fine.

Go into your phpmyadmin and see if the useraward table is in there. Otherwise the only thing I could think of is a problem with admincp/user.php specifically:

PHP Code:

// [START HACK='Awards/Medals/Cards by AnimeWebby' AUTHOR='AnimeWebby' VERSION='2.1' CHANGEID= 3 ]
        // GET USER AWARDS FOR USER PART OF ADMINCP
        $useraward = $DB_site->query_first("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "useraward WHERE userid = $userid");

// [END HACK='Awards/Medals/Cards by AnimeWebby' AUTHOR='AnimeWebby' VERSION='2.1' CHANGEID= 3 ] 


And:

PHP Code:

// [START HACK='Awards/Medals/Cards by AnimeWebby' AUTHOR='AnimeWebby' VERSION='2.1' CHANGEID= 5 ]
    // AWARDS IN USER PART OF ADMINCP 
    $fetchawards = $DB_site->query("SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "award");
    $awardnames = '(userid';

    while ($award = $DB_site->fetch_array($fetchawards))
    {
        globalize($_POST, array('awards'));
        $varname = 'award' . $award['awardid'];
        $varname_desc = $varname . '_desc';
        $bitwise = 0;
        
        $awardnames .= ',award' . $award['awardid'] . ',award' . $award['awardid'] . '_desc';
        if ($new)
        {
            $userawards .= ",'" . addslashes(htmlspecialchars_uni($awards[$varname])) . "','" . addslashes(htmlspecialchars_uni($awards[$varname_desc])) . "'";
        }
        else
        {
            $userawards.= ",$varname = '" . addslashes(htmlspecialchars_uni($awards[$varname])) . "',$varname_desc = '" . addslashes(htmlspecialchars_uni($awards[$varname_desc])) . "'";
        }
    }

    if ($new)
    {
        $DB_site->query("
            INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "useraward
                $awardnames)
            VALUES
                ($userid$userawards)
        ");
    }
    else
    {
        $DB_site->query("UPDATE " . TABLE_PREFIX . "useraward SET userid = $userid$userawards WHERE userid = $userid");
    }
    // END AWARDS IN USER PART OF ADMINCP
// [END HACK='Awards/Medals/Cards by AnimeWebby' AUTHOR='AnimeWebby' VERSION='2.1' CHANGEID= 5 ]
