Works just fine. Where can I get more medals?

Thanks for your hard work, My user's are now striving to play better on the field to get awards on our forum.

Thank you so much.

[AuroraStorm]

Uh, at the rate of sounding like I'm picking a scab (which I'm doing), how can I change the outgoing PM?

Congratulation! You have got a new award!

On behalf of myforums, it is with great honor that I extend to you best wishes and congratulations as you are receiving Gold Medal award.

The reason that goes with your award is:

...because this is kind of busted...

[kurv]

Quick question.... is there a way to create a link that when you click on the award, it takes you to the thread they received the award for..? I guess it would have to have a URL link box for each award given that it links to.

Is that possible... and what would this modification cost me

Thank you!! and thanks for the hard work!!

For those having the MySQLi error on their member pages open the plugin with your text editor of choice

Go to line 704 or find

$total_awards = mysql_num_rows($alluserawards);

and change to

$total_awards = mysqli_num_rows($alluserawards);

I dont know how to make this work in MySQL and MySQLi but MySQLi is recommended over MySQL by both the vbulletin developers and creates of mysql so this is a simple fix.

Maybe this can be thrown into the main post.

Working!
Thank you:up:

Thanks for looking into that! I wanted to do, too, but haven't come round to update my testforum to 3.7.3 yet...

To make it work with both, mysql and mysqli, you could just use the vBulletin API:

PHP Code:

$total_awards = $db->num_rows($alluserawards); 


I haven't tested it yet but I'm sure it will work.

[ssslippy]

ah so $db replaces mysql supper easy fix!

Installed and working fine except for the links in the postbit did not link directly to the "My Awards" tab in the member profile. Here is the fix:

In member.php find:

	'contactinfo' => array(
		'class' => 'ContactInfo',
		'title' => $vbphrase['contact_info'],
	),

Below that add the following:

	'myawards' => array(
		'class' => 'MyAwards',
		'title' => $vbphrase['my_awards'],
	),

NOTE: It appears the coder is trying to do this with the plugin "YAAS in Member Profile - Profile", but it doesn't seem to be working.

Then, replace the entire awards_postbit_display template with:

<!-- show awards -->
<if condition="$post[showuserawards]">
<br />
<fieldset><legend><a href="member.php?u=$post[userid]&tab=myawards" title="$vbphrase[more_awards]">$vbphrase[award_showcase]</a></legend>
<div>
$post[userawards]
<br>
<a href="member.php?u=$post[userid]&tab=myawards" title="$vbphrase[more_awards]">$vbphrase[total_awards]</a>: $post[num_awards]
</div>
</fieldset>
</if>
<!-- /show awards -->

For anyone who has edited this template, all you need to do is replace the "#award" appended on the links with "&tab=myawards".

Hope that helps!

Thanks for that info! I tested it and there is no need to change anything in member.php. It works with the code in the plugin.
The template edit of course is necessary.
