[DemoniK_AK]

Having an issue with recommending awards (vB 4.0.7 and YAAS 4.0.2.1).

When I recommend someone for an award I get an error message
"There's some error when sending your award request. Please contact site's administrator for assistant."

However in the award requests page - the recommendation is there for me to approve. So it has worked, but something has gone wrong somewhere...

Have gone through every usergroup I'm a member of and ensured that can recommend is set to Yes for all of them..

Would really like to sort this out so I can roll the mod out to my users.. Don't want to do that until it's sorted 'cos I'll just get inundated with PMs about it not working....
Any thoughts where to look? what to do?
TIA


EDIT - Fixed it myself.
I didn't want to PM, or email a user on submission, or use a thread or forum - so if nothing was set it decided there was a problem.
I made the following change to "recommend_award.php"
Find

if ($award_send > 0)
{
	$errormessage = $vbphrase['award_request_completed'];
}

Before that add

if (empty($vbulletin->options['award_request_formemailaddress']) 
	&& empty($vbulletin->options['award_request_formpmname'])
	&& ($vbulletin->options['award_request_formreplythreadid'] == 0)
	&& ($vbulletin->options[award_request_formforumid] == 0))
{
	$award_send += 10;
}

Works a charm
Now rolling it out fully to the forum users

From looking at the vBulletin bug tracker, it seems that Profile Tabs will be changing again in 4.0.9 due to bugs related to the profile tabs in 4.0.8.

So, instead of fixing this in 4.0.8, just for it to break in 4.0.9, I'm going to wait until vB 4.0.9 to release the YAAS Update.

There is no planned release date given yet for 4.0.9 so it would be nice to get the awards to look good with the profiles. Any chance of getting this done for 4.0.8 instead of waiting for 4.0.9?

[Cicada]

is there any way to display the award icons elsewhere in the postbit aside from the default locations that you cna choose from ACP?`

[Brandon Sheley]

does anyone have a few more award icons they could share?
I'd like to make a few sets

You can fix profile tab bug easily by doing this:

Open Style Manager/CSS Templates/awards_css.css
add on the bottom:

#myawards-tab, #myawards-tab a:hover {
background-color:transparent;
border:medium none;
display:inline;
height:25px;
margin:0;
padding:0;
text-align:center;
}

a#myawards-tab:hover {
background:none repeat scroll 0 0 transparent;
}

Go to Plugin Manager/Product : Yet Another Award System 4.0/

Edit YAAS in Member Profile - Profile ( member_build_blocks_start)

Find:

'hook_location' => 'profile_tabs',

REPLACE with:

    'title' => $vbphrase['my_awards'],
    'hook_location' => 'profile_tabs_last',

Save

Go again to Plugin Manager/Product : Yet Another Award System 4.0/

UNCHECK :

YAAS - Profile Tab (member_complete)

Save Active Status

Not working !

after all modifications when I uncheck [ (YAAS - Profile Tab (member_complete) ], then I can't see the awards tab in the profile at all.

Oups.
Forgot one more thing.

Please re-edit YAAS in Member Profile - Profile ( member_build_blocks_start)

Thanks "masterross"
The tab now is perfect, but there is one more problem, the background now is strange!


when I disable the awards system (There is no problem)



After edit (black background) !


Any idea?

[masterross]

Hi sadiq6210,

As I see you use some custom style.
So I cant help you with it.
You can investigate your CSSs and fix them.
