With this new update...do you have to edit the member.php like the previous release? I don't see it in the instructions, I just wanted to make sure.

[Xanlamin]

No you do not.

Thanks for the excellent mod!

I want to ask one question: is it possible to edit the style in which awards appear on postbit?

Thanks

[MarceloS]

Another huge thing for me would be to have the award postbit links to point to the awards tab on the profile. Or to have a minitab at the right side of the profile page (below mini-statistics, for example).

The frontpost has 3.7.4 not version 4.02, why?

[Nadeemjp]

Hello,

I have a question. In my forum's postbit, there are awards... this is the image:




I would like that the space between each award image would be smaller, in order to get more images per line.

How could I do it?


The postbit_legacy template, in the awards part is:

<!-- show awards -->
<if condition="$post[showuserawards]">
<fieldset><legend><a href="member.php?u=$post[userid]#award" title="$vbphrase[more_awards]">$vbphrase[award_showcase]</a></legend>
<div>
$post[userawards]
<br>
<a href="member.php?u=$post[userid]#award" title="$vbphrase[more_awards]">$vbphrase[total_awards]</a>: $post[num_awards]
</div>
</fieldset>
</if>
<!-- /show awards -->

Excellent mod and installed.

I've also added a custom script that ties this mod in with the Paid Subscriptions part of vB.

So when a user has an active subscription a scheduled task fires off a script that awards the user with a specific award, and when that subscription expires the same script will remove the award and PM the user.

If the author wants to include this in the mod, let me know. It's one php file that is fired off by the sheduled tasks (I've set mine to run every hour) and two new phrases that control the expired PM text.

I've installed it and it works fine. Only problem is my avatars get pushed down and it creates a blank space, anyway to fix this?
