Hi,

what do you mean by this ? "Restore your YAAS Tables, you will need to overwrite the current tables."

i took the sql of these 3 files, by going to export in my phpmyadmin, and select all 3 files need then i uploaded the new file and imported the new xml

now do i overwrite the sql ? or delete the 3 tables then import the sql that i just took ?
cause i don't see my old awards being restored

Hello, The system is working perfectly fine however.. My style is allready modded with a feedback system and a bunch of other things in the " user information " section of the postbit.

Im wondering, Is there a way to move the award show-case to say.. right underneth the signature? or.. to the left or right of the current user information?

Here is a picture of what i have so far and where i would like to move the award showcase.

Just as the instructions state.

***** REMINDER: BEFORE DOING ANY DATABASE MODIFICATION, IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMEND THAT YOU DO A COMPLETE DATABASE BACKUP *****

1) Backup Your YAAS Tables using PHPMyAdmin or any other administration program that you perfer.
-> award
-> award_cat
-> award_user

2) Uninstall YAAS and remove any manual template edits

3) Delete YAAS Files from your site

4) Upload the "upload" directory in this folder to your site

5) Install the product "product-yet_another_awards_system_4.xml"

6) Restore your YAAS Tables, you will need to overwrite the current tables.

DO NOT FORGET TO DO THE PARTS IN RED

What your asking is already being worked on, there was another who would have liked it shown under the sig as well, we will be doing an option in the settings to show in either the postbit or under sig.

Do you have any news on when the new version will be avail so i can do this?

[Xanlamin]

I do not have a time frame, only that we are working on this and other fixes.

I do not like time frames, things come up and if you mention that it will be released say next week and something happens and it is not released then people will have a fit, even though it would not be our fault for the delay...some people do not see it that way.

After downloading I notice there is only one award. I have found other awards, so can someone tell me if there is any other way to add them to the ACP other than doing it one award at a time? Thanks in advance.

I understand this and did not exspect for you to give me a time frame.

I only asked if there was any news on when it would be avail, I appreciate your work and i love this modification. My user's are really happy about it, My forum is for local members who play airsoft and i use the award system kinda like the xbox achivement system where user's do something on the field and get that award on the forums.

Thank you for makeing this, and im sorry if i upset you by asking for avail news. Im just really excited to get the next version.

Thank you.

There is no current way to mass add awards, since you have enter in a url for each image and a description we will not do any type of mass add.
