AdminCP-->Awards System-->Award Manager, then go to the award you want to manage, click manage, there you will see where you can remove users from having the award.

From Requested PM and Email? goto Award System-->Award System Settings.

There is no emails sent to the user that they have received an award, only a PM is sent to the user so I am assuming on who you want the request of the award to be PM/Emailed to is what your talking about.

Over the course of the next few days we will be testing the new Awards System on our site (http://www.battle-lands.com)

Check progress of this modification in our Project Tools.

The process will entail a backup of the awards tables in the database, an uninstall of the current awards system, then install the new version, restore the awards db tables. Once the new version is running upgrades are simple overwrites.

Our next stage once v4 is complete is to make it NOT reliable on vBulletin, so no matter what version vBulletin you are running the awards system will not be affected and will already work with future versions of vBulletin.

Security Tokens and we will get a awards killer for the current 2.1.4?

I like the sound of everything you posted. Keep it up!

Mine has no manage button. I have to click 'Award user this award' button to be able to remove them.




When it sends a PM to the user it says this...

You have received a new private message from 1, entitled "Congratulation! You have got a new award!".

It says the message is from "1" (userid). When I open the PM, it does however have the senders name in there.

Search in your phrases and you can edit the code, looks like it is just wanting to display the userID instead of the name.

is this mod gonna be updated for v3.7.2 ?? im sorry if it was answered before and i missed it or something

[Xanlamin]

the current version does work with vB3.7 all version with a stated small fix for the members profile.

Also at this time we are working out a couple small bugs with version 4.0 of this hack, currently in version v4.0 the mod adds a tab in the members profile to show the awards.

once we get these bugs worked out we will be releasing an edit free version that is just file uploads and product install.

[wat3v3r]

great i did install this version on my vb but was wonderin if you will release a 3.7 version ill look forward to that then cheers

[SVTCobraLTD]

How soon do you anticipate that new version to be out?

[Xanlamin]

A couple of days hopefully, there are just a few bugs left.
