I have a suggestion for an improvement to this mod. I think it would be very helpful if you could sort the list of members with an award by username or date on the "Give award to user" pages.

I've found two minor display bugs in the most recent version of YAAS. I'm running YAAS 4.0.2.1 and VB 4.1.2. I also noticed this on the boards of another member who posted a problem here so I know it isn't just me (in fact the screenshots are from the other members boards).

If you look at the two screens I've labeled the problems 1 & 2. Problem 1 only appears when a members profile page first displays or if you refresh the page, as soon as you select any tab on the member page problem 1 disappears (due to the call to tabViewPicker(this)). Problem 2 is always there.

The fix for problem 1 a small change to the YAAS - Profile Tab plugin that runs on the member_complete hook as follows::

if ($selected_tab == 'myawards') 
{ 
$template_hook['profile_tabs_last'] .= '<dd class="[S]selected[/S]userprof_module"><a id="myawards-tab" href="'.$vbulletin->input->fetch_relpath().'#myawards" onclick="return tabViewPicker(this);">'.$vbphrase[awards].'</a></dd>'; 
} 
else 
{ 
$template_hook['profile_tabs_last'] .= '<dd class="userprof_moduleinactive"><a id="
myawards-tab" href="'.$vbulletin->input->fetch_relpath().'#myawards" onclick="return tabViewPicker(this);">'.$vbphrase[awards].'</a></dd>'; 
}

I have not yet been able to determine where the code that generates problem 2 comes from.

Both bugs are on the default skin with no alterations on my boards.

This is awesome! the only request I would have is whether it would be possible to manipulate a users user group based on awards received?

for example if member has achieved certain awards, and has x number of posts then their usergroup is automatically updated?

This is because the mod was written for a 4.0.2 board and barely anything above, vb changed the way the tabs are displayed and called and this is why the mod breaks as the original php was using 4.0.2 syntax.

Your 2nd problem will only be solved when the coder updates the mod for the latest version of vb.

Here's a fix that fixes both issues:

1) Disable/delete the YAAS - Profile Tab Plugin that is attached to the member_complete hook (in other words my previous fix for problem 1 is not required anymore). If this isn't done you will get two Awards tabs on profile pages.

2) Make the following edits (all text in blue needs to be added) to the YAAS in Member Profile - Profile plugin that is attached to the member_build_blocks_start hook:

$blocklist['myawards'] = array(
    'class' => 'MyAwards',
    'title' => $vbphrase['awards'],
    'options' => array(
            'pagenumber' => $vbulletin->GPC['pagenumber']
    ),
    'hook_location' => 'profile_tabs_last',
    'wrap' => false
);

I may have missed it, but is there a way to retrospectrively add awards to users?
e.g. post count awards, I have users that have posted 5000 times, but they haven't got the awards for the lower post counts...

Other than manually adding them to all the users, is there an automated way to add them?

Also, as a feature request - would it be possible to add awards per usergroup?

EDIT: -

I'm trying to edit the text of the PM that is sent out by YAAS... specifically to edit the [img] links
This is the PM I recieved earlier



I login into my ACP>Awards System>System settings
and click on the 'here' and 'here' links in the PM section



The first one (body) is trying to link to



whilst the second (subject) is linking to



clicking either gives me this error



Any ideas please?

TIA

    ),
    'hook_location' => 'profile_tabs_last',
    'wrap' => false
);

When this mod is updated to 4.1.x will this need to be "undone".?
Since it only affacts the profile, & not the actual awards page itself, should i just wait.?

Don't know.

This shouldn't need to be changed unless how tabs are created is changed.

Worked like a charm. Thank you. :up:
