CREDIT:
Idea has been carried on by many people, here are some:
- Lesane for original Award hack for vB2, eventhough I've never use his hack
- AnimeWebby for Awards/ Medals/ Cards Hack [vB3], which I write new code based on his.
- Mac ycl6 for phpBB Medal System for phpBB forum
- Dr Erwin Loh for FORM TO THREAD/ FORUM/ PM/ EMAIL hack
- and all others for supports and ideas


IMPORTANT:
- BACKUP modified files and templates before making changes.
- Backup database is recommended.
- This hack is NOT compatible with AnimeWebby's Awards/Medals/CardsHack [vB3], you need to UNINSTALL his hack, before installing this one.

I can't display in memberlist. The instructions for memberlist are referring to private.php

Can't wait for awards request and limit in postbit.

i just fixed it with some error in viewing the member profile .. when r u going to add it to the postbit ?

[Ski-Whiz]

I had minor troubles, but got it to install, after manually entering the cat table, and then adding the default category myself..

Other than that installed ok.. Now to check it out..

So far I like this hack, and will click install upon deciding if I like it..

Thanks!! I love your quick responses to people.. Way to stick behind your hacks!!

Good Job!

I can't display in memberlist. The instructions for memberlist are referring to private.php

sorry I post the wrong file. anyway, please wait for the next version coming up.

Can't wait for awards request and limit in postbit.

Limit in postbit will be available in the next release.
for award request, I am considering between my simple request of sending a request/nominate form, or dssart's suggestion. maybe I will make my form available for now, and work on the other options laterz/.

i just fixed it with some error in viewing the member profile .. when r u going to add it to the postbit ?

... what's error do you get? what do you mean by "add it to the postbit"?
the awards are displayed in postbit fine, isnt it?

Questions:

do you guys want to have an option to turn on/off displaying in postbit. memberlist

turn on/off displaying icon/image in awards list?

should I limit the number of awards displayed in memberlist, the same as the number of awards displayed in postbit?

[mtha]

award settings

[dssart]

A suggestion if you are playing with selectable options on how the postbit is displayed..I like how Arial's postbit has the small link displayed for anyone who wants more information about the award. New users will always ask either in the forum or via PM what these little graphics were. This way the entire awards program can be displayed to the newbie. I think Arial's hack on your hack would be a great addition to your..umm..hack.

[Arial]

Told you they would like that Mtha :-) LOL

what "options" should be there, for display?

@Arial, hehe, but I dont like the way I did it for you, so I will have something else better released soon, as in the demo, with total awards, and a link (more...) maybe :P

if you dont want the "more ...", just make it More Medal Info, heheh

I honestly didn't see that..sorry. I like how Arials is laid out though..nothing personal I guess changing the link text is easy enough, maybe not for those who aren't used to messing around with this sort of thing though.

Maybe a choice between two or three different "stock" YAAS layouts? similar to how VBulletin offers a choice between layouts. Layouts could be a combination of how awards are displayed ( small and numerous or large and not so numerous ) and how the link text is displayed ( top, bottom )..I'm just shooting out rough ideas..

Whatever you do, it will be cool. At least you are in the forum and listening to us. That alone deserves praise.

You admins (who install the hack) should decide what and how to display awards, shouldnt you?
I dont see a point of switching between small+numerous and large+afew in a long run. you just need to decide from the beginning, and go with it. if you want to have it big, make your "icon" big, and limit the awards being displayed "few" (like what Arial has), and vice versa. one time deal.
