Everything is working great.Except I cant get the navbar tab to show up.I have it enabled but it wont work.

[Patriots1049]

So automation works for you? Does it send a PM to members indicating they have got the awards?

if you're on 4.2.0 you'll have the manually add the tabs using the Navigation Manager. This mod, like many others hasn't been updated for the navtab changes.

The mostly complete list of fixes/changes is:

4.0.3 RELEASE:  (06/13/2012)
    * Fixed - Various install/uninstall code issues
    * Fixed - User profile tab graphical issues
    * Fixed - Recommend/request award showing an error message, in certain circumstances, when there's no error
    * Fixed - Various links not using properly escaped & (i.e. should be & instead of &)
    * Fixed - Code that generated invalid xhtml
    * Fixed - Compatibility with other mods (e.g. vbsso)
    * Fixed - Setting determining which side of the memberprofile the awards tab should appear on not working
    * Ported - Fix from 3.8.4 for admincp for usernames with ' to modcp
    * Changed - Style of the awards tab on the user's profile page to better match with the standard tabs
    * Changed - Style for award icons and images so they are both vertically and horizontally centered in their row (awards.php & user profile)
    * Updated - Version in version phrase

If I messed up anything or there's a bug I didn't catch please let me know and I'll see about fixing it.

EDIT: Re-added the upload with correct XML.

This is great. Thanks for making these fixes and compiling them into a new version! :up:

I have several years of awards in my live site's database, which is vBulletin 3.8.7. I'm currently testing an upgrade to 4.2.1 on a dev site. Unfortunately, I uninstalled my old version of YAAS after the upgrade, which dropped my awards tables.

Can I simply export them from my 3.8.7 db and import them into my 4.2.1 database? Or am I asking for trouble?

::

If I don't uninstall my old YAAS and it's corresponding awards tables during my upgrade to 4.2.1, but simply install this newer version over it after the upgrade, will all of my awards still be there. I mean, are the database tables different between the older version of YAAS and this newer version?

[Kirkus]

The answers appear to be yes and yes.

Sorry for mucking up the thread.

[Kybyrian]

How do you remove an award already given to a user? There is no option for it. A user was accidentally given an incorrect award and there is no way to remove it.

[Thunderbird8]

The Give Award to User selection allows removal of awards as well.
