[HTL] & [TXT] Awards/Medals/Cards Hack [vB3]

Awards/ Medals/ Cards Hack [vB3]
By: AnimeWebby
Idea by: Lesane
Updated: 28nd May 2004 - Installer not table prefix friendly.

What this hack does:
This hack allows you to add awards, medals or cards to your vbulletin and assign these to members who you think deserve them.
These graphics will then show up in their member profile and/or their postbits depending on where you choose to add this hack.

New in v2
- Extra page showing all awards available as well as all the users who have earned an award.
- Support for full urls and relative ones for award icons.
- Support for awards on showpost and announcement

Other Stuff:
Although I give credit to Lesane for the idea this hack is totally recoded to be less server intensive and also uses a whole lot less queries. Therefor I do not consider this a 'port'.

Installation:
Download the appropriate .Zip file and follow the instructions in the readme file.

Upgrading:
So far there are no ways to upgrade this hack, if you have an old copy installed then you need to uninstall and reinstall from scratch.

Coming Soon:
- Awards added to the search and memberlists.
- Added functions to the addition of awards as well as cron functions to assign awards automatically to those members with 'X' posts, registered 'X' days etc...
- Option to show award name rather than graphic.
- Option to turn awards OFF & ON in postbit and memberinfo
- Request award on awards page (at Cyricx' request)
(not necessarily in that order)

Make sure you backup your files and database first! This hack has been tested on vB RC1 and RC4 only!

Please click the install button

If you experience any errors, problems or the hack doesn't seem to be functioning correctly then send me a pm with the following info:
- HTL or Standalone installer.
- Version of vB you are running.
- File where error is encountered.
- Exact error or description of error.

If you installed this hack before 23rd May and are getting foreach errors in your showthread then follow the step below:

In /includes/functions_showthread.php find:

PHP Code:

    // sorts through all the stuff to return the postbit template 


below that add:

PHP Code:

    // user awards
    global $userawards; 


If in your showthread.php member post counts show N/A, they have no profile link or their user title is guest you MUST run 'Fix broken user profiles' in the update counters part of the admincp. This is found under the nav bar 'Import & Maintenance' > 'Update Counters' > 'Fix broken user profiles'. This will add the awards for all the users currently in your database and prevent showing incorrent member info.

As far as I know, it does not work on 3.0.1

... I mean, at least it didn't for me...

Ok it seems like I'm the only one helping this thread.

Ok One it does work in 3.1 but you need to use the 3.0 showthread and the 3.o functions_include.php

I did not use the HTL I used the files to edit. But yes it can work in 3.1 bit DO NOT USE DREAMWEAVER TO EDIT FILES.

BUT NOW I NEED SOME HELP CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO USE THE HTL INSTALLER?

YOU MUST USE THE SHOWTHREAD.PHP FROM 3.0 NOT 3.1

You need to use the 3.0 showthread.php, and the 3.0 includes/adminfunctions_showthread.php

It won't work on the 3.1 php files. I don't know why but that's the deal.

I have the shoutbox, who was online, awards, arcade, and store hack on my board.

And this is the only way I see getting this file to work.

well well well, I didnt have this one in used, but I did try to install it, and it seems to work on 3.0.1 (with some of my small modifications)

check out this post:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....&postcount=134

and ... I do not have 3.1 yet (i dont think its available yet even ), so cant tell about 3.1

I forgot what I changed, and dont have time to read it again tho.

Uuhm; it DID work at my forum (2.2.7).
When I did a upgrade to 2.3.4 it was still working; but not anymore! Just from the one to the other day it stopped working.

When I select "enable awards for" "yes" and I save then the next time I take a look it stands again to "no".

Removing and re-adding al the awards didn't work.
Help me please.

[WebMasterAJ]

Am I the only one experiencing problems of when you edit the user, the award doesn't "save?"

Meaning, if I award someone an away through the admincp, it doesn't save to the database...

Any ideas?
