Hi

I installed this today with me.

I have the setting Do you want a link to the awards displayed in the navigation bar? To YES.

But there is no link in the navigation.

What could be the error? Many Thanks

That setting is for vb <4.2. The mod as it currently stands does not have a nav item for vb 4.2+ and you will have to create that manually.

Ok thanks for the Info.

hmm tracking down HTTPS mixed content. The URL's to the awards switch HTTPS by simply changing the sitename URL, but the images them selves still seem to be hardcoded to HTTP in the postbit.

<!-- show awards -->
<vb:if condition="$post[showuserawards]">
<div class="awards_postbit_style3 yaas_postbit">
	<div class="awards_showcase_awarddisplay">{vb:raw post.userawards}</div>
</div>
</vb:if>
<!-- /show awards -->

Was expecting some hardcoded src=http:// type stuff here, but got anything ideas for postbit https goodness?

Don't you specify the complete URLs in the award settings? There you can use protocol relative URLs, i.e. just //mydomain instead of http://mydomain or https://mydomain.

You've got the protocol listed in the award settings, for image and likely icon, for the awards. You'll have to change them either to a relative url or a protocol neutral url. Actually I'm not sure protocol neutral will work with the way that the code is written at the moment as that will cause problems in PMs and emails with award images.

I use it this way and so far noone did complain about anything.

I guess it was wishful thinking that there would be a style template to fix them all at once :P

I've updated each individual award path with the natural // and that fixes the mixed content. Will have to see how that appears in PMs.

Thanks!
