CREDIT:
Idea has been carried on by many people, here are some:
- Lesane for original Award hack for vB2, eventhough I've never use his hack
- AnimeWebby for Awards/ Medals/ Cards Hack [vB3], which I write new code based on his.
- Mac ycl6 for phpBB Medal System for phpBB forum
- Dr Erwin Loh for FORM TO THREAD/ FORUM/ PM/ EMAIL hack
- and all others for supports and ideas


IMPORTANT:
- BACKUP modified files and templates before making changes.
- Backup database is recommended.
- This hack is NOT compatible with AnimeWebby's Awards/Medals/CardsHack [vB3], you need to UNINSTALL his hack, before installing this one.

Ok, well I ran the award_install.php again, tried to run it's install link but that had an error. So I ran the upgrade link which went through fine. Looks like it reset a number of the settings though. I'm concerned it may have wiped out some 3.08 template changes too?

My forums are still functional though.

As far as I know its only adding own templates and not modifying any original one.
Good to hear that its working for you again

Is it 3.5 compatible?

Is it possible to also let my mods give the awards?

Hello,

Is there any services available that would install this particular hack on a vB Version: 3.0.8 release?

If you don't feel comfortable doing it yourself, you can always request someone do it for a small payment for you in the Service Request forum.

I installed the awards system, did all the editing but it still only shows in the member profile. I cant get it to show in postbit....help?

[mtha]

Seems like people are having problems here. Sorry I was away for a while. Will get back to you guys.


I havent install vb3.5 yet, but I will upgrade it for 3.5 (dont have any deadline yet)


for those who got the error something like

Database error in vBulletin 3.0.3:

Invalid SQL: SELECT * FROM vb3_award_cat
WHERE award_cat.award_cat_id = 1
ORDER BY award_cat_displayorder

mysql error: Unknown table 'award_cat' in where clause

mysql error number: 1109

find the line 1109 in the file that you are calling, replace

SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "award_cat

by

SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "award_cat AS award_cat

any place that are missing " . TABLE_PREFIX . ", please add the prefix in.

I will take a look at my files and correct it.

Thanks for using YAAS!

upgrade from 1.2.0 to 1.2.1:
for those who have PREFIX in the database tables, and get database error, please re-upload the new files in 1.2.1 version

2005.08.18 - Version 1.2.1
- fix some bug for database with PREFIX
- Update: upload/replace the files in the attachment (awards.php, request_award.php)
- Re-edit request_award.php with your settings (you may want to make a backup of your old request_award.php and copy the settings over)

A CMPS module that would display the last x members to receive and award. Can this be added to the next release?

I dont use CMS, but this could be done, I will think about this.

Awards should be given by admin. why should it be given in a thread?

There's a field called Award Name, you can edit the right templates to display Award Name instead of its images. Which templates need to be edited depends on where you want to display what. it's not an option by default.

Ok, well I ran the award_install.php again, tried to run it's install link but that had an error. So I ran the upgrade link which went through fine. Looks like it reset a number of the settings though. I'm concerned it may have wiped out some 3.08 template changes too?

My forums are still functional though.

vb3.0.8 upgrade was wipe out the original YAAS settings, so you just need to run the upgrade link again, it will add the YAAS templates back. No vB templates are changed during this process.

Check to make sure all the settings are still correct.


Again, if anyone get database error, due to table prefix, please upgrade to YAAS 1.2.1 by replacing (awards.php, request_award.php)

You may also need to re-edit the award_request.php for your custom settings.

Update: I am converting this hack to 3.5.0.

Award Mamager: done.
Display award list: done

display awards in postbit, memberlist ... : working

it may still require file editing, hope you wont mind doing it
