Stand Alone Awards/Medals/Cards Add-On Hack

What this hack does:

This hack removes the award showcase from your users profile, but leaves a link to the new standalone version. This hack gives your members (usergroups you specify) the ability to request awards for other members.

Requires: Awards/Medals/Cards Hack installed!

Instructions include:

Template Edits: 5
New Templates: 3
New Files: 1
New Phrases: 2
File Edits: 5
DB Changes: 1


1.01 Update:
-- Removed unused queries in award.php, and cached templates to make sure page loads as fast as possible.
-- Grouped awards templates together, to make styles and templates cleaner
-- Fixed typo in template causing images not to show properly in IE
-- General coding cleanup!

Screenies are attached, and you can see this in use here!

"DB QUERY (replace *TABLE.PREFIX* with your VB table prefix, if you don't have one remove it completely along with the underscore),:
*****************************************
ALTER TABLE *TABLE.PREFIX*_usergroup ADD `awrequest` INT( 12 ) NOT NULL"

were to I change that in the db or in the award.php.

thx for any help.

As far as the request award, that is a setting under your Admincp, you can set so that only certain usergroups can request awards.

For the DB Query, you need to run that for the settings to take effect, if you don't have a prefix on your table just run this:

PHP Code:

ALTER TABLE usergroup ADD `awrequest` INT( 12 ) NOT NULL

So far soo good till I get to this...

DB QUERY (replace *TABLE.PREFIX* with your VB table prefix, if you don't have one remove it completely along with the underscore),:<----what does this mean?
*****************************************
ALTER TABLE *TABLE.PREFIX*_usergroup ADD `awrequest` INT( 12 ) NOT NULL<----what does this mean?

also I noticed the java script doesn't work any longer on the drop menu for the usernames. I click o the name and it takes me to his/her member id. Any suggestions?

If you don't use table prefix, then use:
[sql]ALTER TABLE usergroup ADD `awrequest` INT( 12 ) NOT NULL[/sql]

If you use a table prefix of for example 'vb3_', then use:
[sql]ALTER TABLE vb3_usergroup ADD `awrequest` INT( 12 ) NOT NULL[/sql]

I'm sorry but what do you mean "if I use table prefix?" I'm lost here and yes I did click the link lol.

[Marco van Herwaarden]

Check either your includes/config.php for a line like:

PHP Code:

$tableprefix = ''; 


If you are using a table prefix, then you will see it here between the quotes.

Or check in myphpadmin, if all tables are prefixed.
