Major Additions - Yet Another Ranks System

* CREATE A BACKUP OF YOUR FORUM AND DATABASE BEFORE INSTALLING !

I've had quite a few PM's in regards to this and seeing as how once upon a time I administered a gaming tournament forum it came in handy... we had virtual armies in battlefield games with Generals, LtCol's, Captains, squads of 6 and enjoyed a rank structure along with our awards so we converted the Awards mod into a Ranks mod, many also had a need for it and now we have it for 4.x. This is a complete re-write of the 4.x Yet Another Awards System by CypherSTL and Xanlamin ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=232684 ) with updates including one fix by another community member for the profile tabs (noted in Changelog.txt). I hope everyone enjoys it who finds a use for it .

I am getting this error when i recommend or issue rank request?

how to fix it ?

Basically here's the short on this:

• Edit your usergroups, for each usergroup set whether they can request and recommend ranks.
• Setup the mod options in AdminCP > Ranks System > Rank System Settings.
• If your having the requests or recommendations posted as a New Thread OR New Post within a existing thread please ensure that the members usergroup has permission to do so, in other words they can't post a new rank request into a private admin-only forum or a new post in a admin only thread correct? Bingo . You can create a new forum and only allow viewing to normal members .
• If your having users requesting ranks every min or two, adjust your minimum time between posts to be one minute.
• Try disabling the Points System, do you still have a issue?

Other issues:

• What is the minimum version of MySQL Required?
  - The core of the ranks sytem will function on MySQL 4.1. However, in order to use the Points System you must be running at least MySQL 5.0+
• I'm seeing output like "-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: ranks_rankusers_bit -->" before it displays members. Why?
  In your AdminCP > Settings > Options > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments = OFF
• Styling issues? - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....58&postcount=2
• If you have any other issues, post them however I need to know if this was the 2nd, 3rd or 4th request, what was done before the error and if issuing to another user worked afterwords! Thanks!

Hello. We would like to replace the broken and not supported YAAS with this plugin. Does it work fine with latest vb version and is it maintained well?

Also, would it be any problem manually transfering the ranks from YAAS to this? I see that the core system looks quite similar.

I still think it's a permission issue, is it for all ranks/medals?

I checked again to be sure.
I put "Yes" in the various Ranks and enabled for each user group the opportunity to apply for the rank

Set Yes for all Rank Active

Allow member to request this rank?
You need to enable "Display Request Rank Link" in Rank System Settings, in order to use this 	

Allow member to recommend this rank?
You need to enable "Display Recommend Rank Link" in Rank System Settings, in order to use this 	

Is this Rank active?
If not active, the rank will not be listed in ranklist

Set Yes for all User Group

Can request ranks 	
Can recommend ranks

No idea what it is?

Sorry, no. If I get time and you want to set me up a temp admin account, I can take a look around and see if I can find some thing. It would be a week or so before I could though.
