Hey guys.

Just to give everyone a heads up. With work and everything I've had pretty much no time to check these boards and what not.

But, I have been working here and their on an updated version of the mod. It still needs some work, and isn't quite ready for release. Some bugs are fixed, specifically the amount of queries from the database.

I'm still here, I'm not dead.

Any info on what the 'updated' version will include? Any surprises?

I believe they stated Board Moderators will be able to give awards based on permissions in AdminCP.

To start with:

1. DB Queries have been fixed thanks to a contributor (credit will be given when release is published).

2. Ability to have multiple pages (No longer one long page for all the awards).

3. Planning for vB4 series porting

4. Memberlist reintergration

There will be some other cleanups with the code for the vB3.8 series.

Is there anything anyone would like to see done with this Mod? We will take a look at them 1 by 1 and see how they can be done and if there are some easy ones we should be able to get them out in the next release. But for now please post what you would like to see or any current issues you are having that have not been listed above. I know there have been some post of issues but it is easier to read them from this point forward instead of looking back over 20 pages.

So start your list of wants and issues from here.

Thanks

Xanlamin

I love this mod as do my members. I've been looking for a mod that will recognize the members that are in the service or who have previously served. I've seen a couple that require template edits and etc. but I think that this one would do the job just fine. I just need some military seals to add those rewards. Does anybody know of any small military seal icons that would work with this mod to serve that purpose?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Here ya go. Both normal image size and icon size for the awards system.

I sincerely appreciate it but the file will not open. I get a message that says it is not a valid archive and to try to download it again. Tried a couple of times but still getting the same message.

[Xanlamin]

hmmm...wierd, may be something with the zip, I tried rar at first but the site don't allow rar uploads. Will see what I can do.

[dknelson]

Thanks...I'll be watching for it.

What part of the code do I have to delete to completely remove the "Icon" section. Since my Icon and Image are the same its redundant.
