Is this mod an upgrade to this ? :
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=196244
Since I was using 3.8 version and kept for today disabled when it came not working,

Thanks,,

As I said the only place in the awards code that creates its own construct_depth_mark function is in the awards.php file, which does not require adminfunctions.php nor does in require a file which requires adminfunctions.php.

I was specifically asking what actions you'd taken (e.g. trying to view/change the awards settings) that causes that error.

I'll disable the other plugins to see if maybe they are interfering, but I had done nothing to awards settings. Just went to forums/awards.php after the install and that's what I got.

I wish I understood what you say on the previous page. I'm nowhere near that advanced on vbulletin. I am a complete novice here. Couldn't I just uninstall the thing from my plugin manager, and then re-install it through the ftp like I'd done the first time?

Problem Solved. It was the vbSSO plugin.

Unfortunately not, there's an error in the uninstallation code, actually an omission, that prevents the plugin from uninstalling correctly.

First uninstall YAAS from the product manager.

Then to do what I posted on the previous page, in admincp go to Maintenance->Execute SQL Query

When prompted run the following query:

show tables

This will give you the list of all tables in your db, look for the ones that have awards in their name, there should be between one and three of them, most likely three. In my db the tables are called:

award
award_cat
award_requests

The names might be different in your db, especially if your tables have a prefix. Take note of the names, and then run drop table queries, one per table, to remove the tables.

So if I was removing the three tables from my db I'd run the following three queries:

drop table award

drop table award_cat

drop table award_requests

Then I could reinstall YAAS from scratch.

You could also try the solution mentioned here.

Let me know if that works.

[Skermefaten]

Can someone explain to me how to use these features?



I've tried toying around with them but haven't had any luck.

[squidsk]

The explanations give are pretty straight forward, what about them are you not understanding?

Well I mean, I put in the forum id and the thread id. Perhaps I'm messing up the latter. It's only a matter of those digits you see on the thread's url, correct?
