Major Additions - Yet Another Ranks System

* CREATE A BACKUP OF YOUR FORUM AND DATABASE BEFORE INSTALLING !

I've had quite a few PM's in regards to this and seeing as how once upon a time I administered a gaming tournament forum it came in handy... we had virtual armies in battlefield games with Generals, LtCol's, Captains, squads of 6 and enjoyed a rank structure along with our awards so we converted the Awards mod into a Ranks mod, many also had a need for it and now we have it for 4.x. This is a complete re-write of the 4.x Yet Another Awards System by CypherSTL and Xanlamin ( https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=232684 ) with updates including one fix by another community member for the profile tabs (noted in Changelog.txt). I hope everyone enjoys it who finds a use for it .

I am getting this error when i recommend or issue rank request?

how to fix it ?

Basically here's the short on this:

• Edit your usergroups, for each usergroup set whether they can request and recommend ranks.
• Setup the mod options in AdminCP > Ranks System > Rank System Settings.
• If your having the requests or recommendations posted as a New Thread OR New Post within a existing thread please ensure that the members usergroup has permission to do so, in other words they can't post a new rank request into a private admin-only forum or a new post in a admin only thread correct? Bingo . You can create a new forum and only allow viewing to normal members .
• If your having users requesting ranks every min or two, adjust your minimum time between posts to be one minute.
• Try disabling the Points System, do you still have a issue?

Other issues:

• What is the minimum version of MySQL Required?
  - The core of the ranks sytem will function on MySQL 4.1. However, in order to use the Points System you must be running at least MySQL 5.0+
• I'm seeing output like "-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: ranks_rankusers_bit -->" before it displays members. Why?
  In your AdminCP > Settings > Options > General Settings > Add Template Name in HTML Comments = OFF
• Styling issues? - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....58&postcount=2
• If you have any other issues, post them however I need to know if this was the 2nd, 3rd or 4th request, what was done before the error and if issuing to another user worked afterwords! Thanks!

What is your vBulletin version? What is your mysql version (if you have the points system part of YARS enabled this matters otherwise disable it).

If you're running 4.2.2 have you tried adding in the code to not show errors? http://www.vbulletin.com/forum/forum...66#post4000466

This mod has not been updated like YAAS has, you can install and run YAAS instead of YARS and name it what you want by simply changing some phrase unless of course you want to run both.

I am running mySQL: 5.1.73 and yes I do have VB 4.2.2

I have disabled the points system as well as added in the code given on the link you provided.

It still showing up with that message

First I want to say what a nice product this is that helps us show appreciation to many well-deserving members on our forum.

We run vB 4.2.2 PL2, with PHP 5.4.35 and MySQL 5.1.73-cll.

We hold end of the year voting for our awards in roughly 17 categories. I would like for our users to be able to retain their past awards in their profiles, but only have the awards from the most recent voting year be displayed in their postbits.

I have found a way to do this using a CSS attribute selector to hide any awards with "2013" in their title attributes, and then a short script in the postbit_legacy template to then hide any resulting empty "Awards" elements (as it may be possible that someone who won awards last year may not win any this year).

This is inefficient though, and I was just wondering if there is a way to do this by modifying the options for this product in the AdminCP. I did not see any way to do it this way, and so I am prepared with the "bandaid" I described above until I can find a better and permanent way to accomplish my goal.

If not, then I suppose my only option would be to hack the plugin(s).

Hey everyone, having the same issue but no fix was ever provided. I am working on a site running vb 3.8.8 Patch Level 1 running Yet Another Award System v2.1.4 with php 5.5.30, mysql 5.6.28.

Any help resolving this error would be awesome!

I thought vB 4.2.5 was the final version?
