[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.

Awesome Thanks again

By far one of the best "Supported" hacks on vB.org :thumbsup:

I have an odd error, everything displays properly (as far as I can tell) but I can't award anyone an award. When I go into a users profile the "User Awards" menu is there and I can select "yes" to them having the award but when I save the profile it reverts back to them not having the award. How do I make that stick?

I would appreciate it if you told me what installer you use, but check if you have amde all edits to the /admincp/user.php.

Worked fine for me, just need some graphics now

HOOAH!

I'll try it out, thx

I have red and yellow card if you like.

I'd like the text "Earned Awards" or "Award Showcase" to be diplayed above earned awards in the users postbit. I edited the awards_bit to add the text but when the user has two awards it is shown as:

Earned Awards:
[IMAGE OF AWARD]

Earned Awards:
[IMAGE OF 2ND AWARD]

How can I make it so it only shows Earned awards once then all of the users earned awards?

WoodiE, try putting the "Earned Awards:" text in the postbit template.

Find...

<div>$post[userawards]</div>

Edit it to...

<if condition="$post['userawards']">Earned Awards:<br /><div>$post[userawards]</div></if>

[WoodiE]

That would work, but it also displays "Earned Awards:" in the postbit even if the member doesn't have any awards. I only want it shown in the postbit if they do have an award.
