I checked on another previous site of mine I had this mod installed, and it has the same error.

Do you have permissions set in the usergroups correctly?

And more than one issue has presented itself with just this one mod, while everything else works perfectly. There's only one reasonable conclusion to a rational mind.

Thanks for the... err... help... I won't bother you any further. Good luck with the mod.

I have Recommend & Request both set to yes in usergroups but it only shows the request.

[EDIT] Sussed it, In the Award Manager the option for 'Allow member to recommend this award' it is set to 'No'

Upon setting it to yes I get an SQL error.

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.4:

Invalid SQL:

		UPDATE award
		SET award_name = 'Gold Medal',
		award_desc = 'Awarded for posting Great stuff..',
		award_icon_url = 'images/medals/medal-gold.gif',
		award_img_url = 'images/medals/large_gold.gif',
		award_cat_id = '1',
		award_displayorder = '2',
		award_allowrequest = '1',
		award_allowrecommend = '1',
		award_active = '1',
		award_pointvalue = '0'
		WHERE award_id = 9;

I hate to bump , busy people = busy lives but bump I must.

The recommend feature gives me an SQL error of table not found.

Thanks

Hi.

Is there a way to align the "Image" column above the "Description" column? I ask because the images I want to use are banners, and would be too wide if placed side by side with the description. Also, while I'm at it, does anyone know how to remove the "Icon" column completely? I have no use for it because I only use text in the postbit.

[Tanapangarap]

I found out the "Icon" could be removed from the settings.

I receive this Fatal error on both of my 3.8.6 & 4.0.5 test boards.

When clicking/viewing Awards list (file 'awards.php') on 3.8.6:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare construct_depth_mark() (previously declared in /home/public_html/vbtest/awards.php:98) in /home/public_html/vbtest/includes/adminfunctions.php on line 1832

Please inform the creator of YAAS not to define construct_depth_mark within awards.php, and either surround it with a conditional that checks for the function existing, or just require_once adminfunctions.php - they should not be redefining standard vb functions even if its from the admin side, or stuff like this is bound to happen.

Don't worry if you dont know what Im talking about just copy and paste that to them.

Is there any solution to this error that comes when requesting/recommending awards:

There's some error when sending your award request. Please contact site's administrator for assistant.

Hey Xanlamin,

Earlier this year I had a conflict with YAAS and DTO Garage involving the function construct_depth_mark() in awards.php

I was just told by a member that the same conflict has come up but in a different file.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare construct_depth_mark() in /home/cobaltli/public_html/forums/includes/adminfunctions.php on line 1823

I commented out the function from adminfunctions.php and it fixed the problem.. so far so good as far as that affecting anything else.
