And what is the points system about exactly??

In previous editions a few people were asking to be able to assign a point value to awards. I will most likely expand on this feature in coming releases.

Thanks for the mod!

Will check into it. Thanks for the report.

Here are the images, first image is without text highlighted and second one I highlighted the text to reveal it. My site is www.brotherhoodofgamers.com

Let me know how I can fix this text not appearing, thanks.

Ahh. Looks like I need to format the text. I did all my testing on the default VB4 template. Look for this to be fixed in tomorrows update.

1) Members profile page awards list output is messed up.
2) Award Manager in ModCP is notworking.
3) Awards List page needs little formatting (needs space between awards)
4) Postbit "Style 1" is not displaying just like it shows in the admincp preview i-e missing that box border.

I guess these are just minor bugs once again thanks a lot for such quick release.

"Style 1" used the <legend> formatting tab, which doesn't seem to work in VB4. I'll see if I can find a work around for that, or just adding a div border should also work. Look for this to be fixed in tomorrows update.

If the ModCP awards isn't working because of the unexpected ;, this will be fixed in tomorrows update.

thank you

Me too,this was a great mod on 3.8 and cant wait to have it running a1 on 4.0

Will the ability to have awards displayed in the signature area be returning for this version? We use the postbit display and find the signature area is better if members have a lot of awards.

Just upgraded to this version and all looks okay so far.

[Alien]

One of my must haves, I'm extremely grateful you've decided to update this!

I'll probably go ahead and install tomorrow's release!

reserved & taged tnks ,waiting for running in vb4

I use this on my 3.8 site and this is one of those mods I considered high priority for going to VB4, nice to see it updated!

Tagged for when I finally upgrade (let's hope tomorrow patch is good. heh)

The signature output of the awards is working, however it's doubling up on the output for some odd reason.

[GrossKopf]

Cool. My members loved this before we upgraded. Can't wait to put it back on!

Fixed So Far:

• modCP/Awards now working
• Tweaked display output on Awards listings, now a much cleaner look
• Black Font for some text has been fixed

I'm currently working on the Profile Tabs to get it to display data properly, right now it's displaying on every tab for some reason.

I'll also be tweaking the "Styles" for output into the postbits.

Once I get these all taken care of, I'll release it here for download.

Attached is a screenshot of what the main awards.php output looks like currently.
