As for the "RC2" release; here is the change log of what has been fixed so far and will be released in the next few days.

4.0.0 RC2 RELEASE

* Fixed - "Awards" displaying on all profile tabs.

* Added - Award Automation based on Post Count, and Usergroups
* Added - MySQL Version Checks to Automation System.
* Added - Diagnostics Tab in AdminCP

* Added - Log Output for awards issued and removed via automation

* Database - Added 'award_cgroup' column to award_user table

Hey,

Please be sure to add the following fix into RC2 release!

In all templates that you call headinclude, please be sure to also add the new variable that has been added by default in vBulletin 4.0.1+: headinclude_bottom

This allows for the use of the additional.css template to override built-in css.

The templates affected are:
AWARDS
awards_recommend_form
awards_request_form
awards_viewaward

Thanks!

Hiya, am getting the following error message when users are requesting awards.

Warning: array_merge() [function.array-merge]: Argument #1 is not an array in [path]/includes/class_datastore.php on line 683

Another member gets the same message as above along with

Unable to add cookies, header already sent.
File: /home/*******/public_html/includes/class_core.php
Line: 4482

Any ideas? Was fine up until last week. Errors seem to coincide with upgrading to patch level 4.

Aye. I have started working on some of those. Currently, the postbit templates will use the Awards CSS Template and displays correctly, so that part is fine.

[Greeksgal]

Any idea about the errors I'm experiencing? Thanks

Are we close to RC2?

[baghdad4ever]

please how to display award images (not the icon) in the postbit legacy??

i want to edit the postbit_legacy manually

thanks

[Shadawg]

then upload the same image for the icon and actual award icon

[CypherSTL]

I'll be upgrading one of my sites to 4.0.3 here shortly so I can test the RC2 release to make sure everything works on it.

[CypherSTL]

Alright guys.

Just a bit more information. I've split up the products for the awards system, and the automation system. That way users who do not wish to use automation, won't need to worry with the extra database fields and what not.

As for the awards system on vB 4.0.3; everything seems to still be functioning correctly.

[CypherSTL]

Got one more thing to finish up before release. Adding a page in the AdminCP where all requested/recommended awards are displayed and can issued, or denied, all on a single page.

Release should be ready to release in the early AM Oh, Automation will be released then too
