I've set a new automation on usergroup 6 (administrators). In total, 14 users are gaining the rewards, while there are only 6 people in the administration group. Te other 8 are moderators, super moderators and other custom groups members.

So why have they been given the award while they are not within Usergroup ID 6? They are not even in GroupID 6 as Additional users.

Looking at the code it appears that it will give the award to, in your case, anyone who's a member of a group with a 6 in its id (i.e. 6, 16, 26, etc).

The solution is to change line 62 of includes/cron/award_automation.php as follows:

From:

		OR membergroupids LIKE '%".$usergroupAwardsArray[auto_criteria]."%'

To:

		OR " . $usergroupAwardsArray[auto_criteria] . " IN (membergroupids)

Note: I haven't tried this out but it should work.

Lovely, that did the trick.. Thanks! I'd assume you would alter the code in the main file(s) in your first post as well? So other users won't be having the same issue.

It's possible to convert data of "Yet Another Ranks System" with this mod?

Eventually, I will release an update I have for that mod in due course, but it will require some changes to YaAS that I haven't yet managed to do.

I'm not sure what you're asking? Are you asking can convert from YaRS to YaAS or something else?

Understood, but any reason why it would start happening out of the blue? Seriously confusing that one day no issue. The next, bam! I doubt it is the plugin, because it worked fine & wasn't touched between problems.

Just a general question.

No idea, it isn't something YaAS would have caused since it doesn't touch the settings table at all.

Yes. I am currently in my forum 'using the mod "Yet Another Ranks System" and I would like to convert it with this. It's possible?

Anything is possible. Easy not really, you'd need to transfer the data from the YaRS tables to the YaAS tables or drop the YaAS tables and rename the YaRS ones.

As the mods are essentially the same why are you interested in changing between them.

Hi to all
I just install this mod on a forum test so that i can see all the potentiality

My dubs is regarding the automations because i see that the criteria are only 3. I tried even another plug-in that permit a series of criterias (es. post >= 1000 post <= 5000 day since last post <= 60) or other criteria as thread, reclutament ecc.

Can i do the same things with this plug-in? I prefer your plug-in because is very light.
Thanks in advance!

Yes, by creating multiple award automations for the same criteria. For example if you create two number of post automated awards with criteria of 1000 and 5000 then when a users hits 1000 posts they will get the first one and when they hit 5000 posts they will have the first one removed and the second one granted.

As for the extra criteria, currently there are only the three (posts, usergroup membership, membership time) but I have plans to add more criteria.
