[HTL] & [TXT] Awards/Medals/Cards Hack [vB3] · **Released**: 02-02-2004

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.

From the first post:

Quote:

Extra page showing all awards available as well as all the users who have earned an award.

How do we display that?

moley · #**333** 10-07-2004, 04:56 PM

Ok found them:

In register.php find:

PHP Code:


			
        // insert custom user fields

        $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "userfield $userfieldsnames VALUES ($userid$userfields)");

Add below:

PHP Code:


			
// [START HACK='Awards/Medals/Cards by AnimeWebby' AUTHOR='AnimeWebby' VERSION='2.0' CHANGEID= 15 ]

        // insert user awards

        $DB_site->query("INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "useraward (userid) VALUES ($userid)");



// [END HACK='Awards/Medals/Cards by AnimeWebby' AUTHOR='AnimeWebby' VERSION='2.0' CHANGEID= 15 ]

Thank you so much I can finally sleep.

didnt work for me, messed up my database, all the time

paulomt1 · #**338** 10-09-2004, 11:05 PM

I have instaled it in my vb303 and works great, thanks

Anyone know where I can get more medals images?

InfiniteWebby · #**339** 10-10-2004, 01:57 AM

Blam, either send me a pm with what is happening or shutup. This hack works fine apart from a few people who have missed some steps when installing all of which I have walked them through how to fix it.

At the moment there is no way to allow your mods to control this hack. I have no time to do anything at the moment so please don't rely on me to make it so. I suppose you could do all the admincp/ file edits to the corresponding ones in modcp/ but nothing can be guarenteed.

Thanks for the great hack either way!!!...You have done a great job and I have had no problem installing with 3.0.3!!!!

Sad tho to see the support end this way. I hope to see some changes when you have the time to make this even a better if not the best hack of its time.

Excellent mod, works a charm on my 3.03 board and the users love it. One question I did have the gfx I use for the awards and the number of awards I have available, when someone has a number of them it goes of to the right of the screen and you need to scroll across to see the whole profile page. By chance is there any way to have it so that once it hits a certain length it wraps to the next line under (this is the awards bit only I refer to), so that the member profile screen doesn't skew off to the right via scroll bars?

Excellent job.
