Hey hey Squidsk hows it going?

Any update on the option to delete all awards from 1 or more members?

I have another question regarding when to show the awards. Sometimes we have members of our clan who are no longer in the clan or leave for one reason or another. Sometimes they come back and most of the times they don't.

So I used the following conditional to only show the awards if a user has a specific profile field which indicates they are a clan member. The conditional works to only show the awards in the awards_postbit_display template but not in the memberinfo_block_myawards template.

The conditional is:

<vb:if condition="$post['field6'] == 'CAG'"></vb:if>

So because we can't delete all the awards from members who leave or leave and might come back and we don't want to always delete the awards because they might come back, I thought I could use that conditional to only display the awards if that profile field is filled out.

Like I said, it works only in the postbit_legacy template but not in the memberinfo_block_myawards. In the info block even if the field is correct it wont show anything.

Any thoughts on how to make this conditional work in the memberinfo_block_myawards template Squidsk or if the option to delete all awards or certain awards from a member will be available soon?

Thanks in advance !!!

It seems the medals are not aligned to the left anymore when a member has a long user title ? I uploaded two pictures to show you. The medals for user title "SFK's Prince Consort are aligned properly, but not the ones for "Super Moderator of the Round Table". Also, only 5 medals per line now ? All medals were on the same line before. It looks very bad now.

Can you please fix it ? Or please send me a link to the previous version I had (I think it was 4.0.4). Thank you.

EDIT : I found the 4.0.4 version on another forum.
EDIT #2 : It's the 4.0.6 version that brought the bad change.

Still hoping you will fix it though.

I am still running 4.0.6, see attachment.

It is always a good idea to upload versions for the mods as separate attachments in case of a change that has bugs.

Thanks squidsk =) http://forum.nihonomaru.com/awards.php

I'm running 4.2.1

I uploaded /upload to forum root for YaAS 4.08
Then I imported xml

At this point, the options appear in the settings. But no image for the award, or place to award the awards (and no Award option in left menu). So I figured this was because I need to put the other file in.

So I uploaded /upload to forum root for YaAS-Automation-R4
Then I imported the xml from there.

I still don't see an Award option in left menu in adminCP nor a spot to award the Awards or add images. Did I do something wrong?

[dobberhockey]

Still not working, and I'm guessing there is no more support for this. I can't mark this as installed until it's installed and working properly.
Great.
So now how do I uninstall?

[squidsk]

You posted last night at 11:16 PM my time and are complaining by this morning at 7:48 AM that I haven' t provided support, come on be realistic.

As for the problem, you didn't read the installation instruction correctly, upload the contents of the upload/ folder to your forum root, not the upload folder itself.

[dobberhockey]

Sorry squidsk, I saw the two posts above from other people that didn't get a response, so I jumped to the wrong conclusion.

I also mis-spoke. I uploaded it to the root folder - and since the root already had an upload folder, I was just saying that the contents in /upload would have been added to it.

Given yaas is enabled and you have no menu on the left, the files are in the wrong location. To verify this look in your forum_root/includes/xml folder you should see the following three files:

1. bitfield_awards.xml
2. cpnav_awards.xml
3. cssrollup_awards.xml

If those files aren't there then you've uploaded things to the wrong location. Specifically the lack of the cpnav.xml will prevent the awards settings from appearing on the left hand menu of your admincp. Also keep in mind that if you've renamed your admincp and/or modcp in includes/config.php then you'll need to do some extra work to install the mod.

You are correct - they were not in the folder. I uploaded it properly and it still didn't show up in the left adminCP menu. So I uninstalled both the automation and the 4.08 one, and reinstalled the 4.08 the way I should have done the first time. I still can't get it up.

Those files do appear in the folder properly now.

I looked in the 'includes' folder and is it possible that my developer renamed the admincp and modcp to adminfunctions.php and modfunctions.php? Because that's what I'm seeing in there

I'm not talking about php files, I'm talking about folders. In your forum root you should have two folders called admincp & modcp. Inside of them there should be files other than those for yaas. If there are only yass related files then your install has renamed the admincp/modcp folders in includes/config.php and you'll also need to copy the contents of the "new" admincp/modcp into the actual renamed admincp/mod/cp respectively. Without actually seeing your control panel/filesystem I have no way of knowing why the mod isn't working.

[dobberhockey]

Thank you! I got my developer to do it. Didn't take him long so I must have been pretty close

On a side note, is there anywhere I can go to grab some nice award icons?
