When I get the RC2 build finished, you can use it to automate issuing awards to a Usergroup that you assign them via Paid Subscriptions.

I'll mark it as installed then, so I get notified. Thanks!

[wolfyman]

how about issuing an award automatically when a member enters a new usergroup?

I'd love to see an approved member get a notification like:

Congrats, you have been accepted into XXXXX Group! You will now see the XXXXX award under your avatar and you can access XXXXX forum now, too!

[Xanlamin]

Yes you will be able to. Like when they do a donation and they are automaticaly put into the Donors usergroup for instance, they will get the award assigned to that usergroup, and if they leave that group the award will disappear.

[wolfyman]

I'm assuming it will work with recurring payments, then... when do you expect it to be released?

Thanks for your work!

[Xanlamin]

yes recurring payments will keep the user in the group therefore keeping the award.

And should be out by the end of the week.

Thank you for this add on...

[Bouncer222]

Great! can't wait for the donors to work with this!

Is there an option to show 'some' awards in posts or not ? For example, I gave an award for someone and showed it in posts for one month. After that, I wouldn't it to be shown in posts but I want it to be shown in the user profile 'In awards tab' .

However, thanks for this great mood and we are waiting YaAS-4.0.0-RC2 .

Most of the issues have been resolved when you use YaAS-4.0.0-RC1 AND vBulletin 4.0.1, do NOT just reimport the XML, you must also upload ALL the files in the zip.

Those who are running current version and are still having issues you will be helped, but for you please allow guest, we will NOT register on your site to find these errors you link us to, if you do not want to enable guest view then please post screenshots.

Thank You

We are running 5.0 so that isn't the issue. This is still causing a DB error when I try to activate it.
