Hrmn, odd. I finally got off my lazy arse and installed a test 3.0.7 board and its working just fine there. So there should be NO problems installing on 3.0.7.

I've also re-written the install instructions. So that they are hopefully easier to understand, and yes it DOES work on 3.0.7

I didn't have any problems adding the awards in 3.0.7 you just have to toss in the part that says ,useraward
or the left join section.

Basically, whenever you have a HUGE replace this in a hack and you don't have the original code, compare what they want you to take out with what they want you to put in, figure out the differences and then add in those differences.

Creed - How does this hack go about adding the award? Does it automatically add it to the user? That's what I'm hoping for that way I can give my mods the abilities to request these or more directly add them via a controllable link then granting them access to edit users

[Creed]

It uses the admin user options to add/remove the awards. I was thinking about adding the ability to let usergroups you specify add/remove awards

[Cyricx]

That would be very cool, kinda cut out the middle man some and let some of the mods do the work.

Great hack in any case, gonna roll this onto my test server and then take it live

On the one you had installed on the above URL you had some great looking award graphics. ?

I think they were animated in blue. Where they stock with the hack or did you just locate them somewhere?

[Creed]

My co-admin made them. Unfortunately the test board I had up, is currently dead (not because of the awards hack :-p), because I killed it to save space on a database

You can still view the awards images that he's talking about at www.hdclan.org/forums/awards.php

Ahh, shame, they look fantastic. Shame there's not a whole set, I would have paid for those they look that good.

Thx for a great hack. I have got everything working perfectly except
the following.

U are not allowed to reqeust an award. I have check and the email and its enabled. But I was wondering

"DB QUERY (replace *TABLE.PREFIX* with your VB table prefix, if you don't have one remove it completely along with the underscore),:
*****************************************
ALTER TABLE *TABLE.PREFIX*_usergroup ADD `awrequest` INT( 12 ) NOT NULL"

were to I change that in the db or in the award.php.

thx for any help.
