- 1 area will show the awards for a specific category in order of display that they have been awarded without he reason and such.
- the second will do it like it is now. (with details).
* when adding to postbit and/or signature make it so that you can choose a certain category to display only or all.

These are just ideas i have been thinking of. Since my Forums is used as a clan website and public forums.

The scipt as it is now is very useful....

For example:
Black ops medals -
Awards1 award2 awad3 award4 award5 award6
award7 etc

Black ops Ribbons -
award1 award2 award3 award4 etc

and so on and so forth?

This would be really helpful due to the number of awards our site offers. Is there any way this can be done or may i turn it over to someone who can?

Thanks

(sorry for the rush but my new site is opening in nov. and i'm on a strict deadline..)

What are you trying to do? If your trying to change which awards style is used to display the awards then in the Awards settings change the postbit: style setting. If you're trying to change what one of those settings actually looks like then you need to edit one of postbit_display templates.

Thanks very much - I had not found that post through search and wasn't willing to read through 61 pages of comments

Thanks for this mod, I've got it set up and working fine

Just wondering one thing. Ive set up the automation addon. Its for posts only, would it be possible at all to make it search through members who meet the requirements currently and automatically give them the award?

Also a apart from setting up the automation settings in the Award System menu, is there anything else that needs to be done? Like scheduled tasks or anything? Or does the plugin do it all for you?

Anyone experience an issue where they changed their Thread Prefixes in this and the option to set this disappear on it?

Is it possible to remove awards you have given to people?

Also with the automation system, its just run automatically which is great. But I have a specific problem.

I have 3 awards based on postcount. One for reaching 500 posts, 1000 posts and 2500 posts.

Say if someone has 2500 posts, it won't give them the 500 and 1000 medals. Is it possible to make it give all 3?

Yes. In admincp (and modcp if that's enabled) go to Award System -> Award Manager. On the screen that loads click on "Give Award to User" for the award you want to remove from a user. On this screen at the bottom it lists all users who have been given the award with the option to edit the entry for the user or to remove it. Click remove to remove the award.

No I don't think so. If you add post based criteria then only when the criteria is met (i.e. at 500, 1000 or 2500) will a specific award be added. You could always just do it with an sql insert query since it should be just a one time thing when you add the awards initially.

The query would be something like:

insert into award_user (userid, award_id, issue_reason, issue_time) select userid, award_number, "For reaching 500 posts", UNIX_TIMESTAMP() from user where postcount > 500;

Put in the appropriate award number and change the message as needed and it should work.

Yes i am getting pretty much the same problem, except mine shifts even more than that and everything is all over the place. It only does it when i click on the awards tab. I am running 4.1.7 with a custom theme.
