Thanks. I was tearing apart the templates looking for this. LOL

Okay..I've noticed that all my awards show for "some" styles. There are 2 styles that they don't show in. I have reverted templates to match the default...and I still get broken images. Not sure why. I tried what you said above, with no luck.

since the picture is displayed on some styles, my best guess is you have some problem with some style.

I dont know how you setup your custom styles, so I cant tell you how to fix it.

if i have access to the templates, i might be able to see what happen,

you might want to check and see if all the additional templates for awards are displayed in the template that doesnt show.

[Roxie]

Finally figured it out! I had to revert the awards_bit template in a few of my styles. Don't know how that happened...but it worked. Thanks for your help!

[Roxie]

How hard would it be to add the ability to edit awards instead of having to delete them and start over? Thanks..

You ARE already able to edit awards, aint you? Read over the manual for how to edit awards.

If you meant "edit awards given to users", well I will think about that, for future dev. It wouldnt be too hard though, if you know what to do.

How possible would it be for other hacks (like the PayPal Donations system for 3.5 - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=91567) to interact with this one?

Just imagining a scenario where users are awarded new medals, or upgraded in the event of an existing, immediately upon donating to the site in question. Or bloggers using an article system (like cinq's) automatically getting a contribution medal. vbQuiz leaders having something until someone else takes the high score. Season winners in my Pick'em extension getting something straight from the system, etc.

Don't know how realistic something like that is, though.

mtha, I was the one asking about a conversion tool to transfer data from AnimeWebby's 3.0.x version. I have my production site on 3.5.0rc2 now, so if you're still interested, willing and able to use me as a guinea pig to make that, I'm game.

put the attached file in admincp, it should allow you to edit user's issued awards. some phrases might be missing, but it will be included in the next release. i will do some more checking on it before releasing

I usually say, nothing is impossible. anything can be done, but it's just that I dont have interest on doing it/ I dont use any of those hacks, and it's more personal interest based than general bases.

if you want, PM or email me your info, i may take a look

[y2krazy]

Any idea as to why the award is showing up twice in the MEMBERINFO template?

[mtha]

because you have duplicated YAAS plugin somehow. if you dont have anything yet, just uninstall, and install again. if you have many awards already, you need to look at the plugin list and find the duplicated one. look over the previous pages, there was someone getting the same error
