Be more specific for the coder else show a screenshot with big red arrows asking specifically what you want! I have a similar mod and could have most likely helped this coder out by answering IF you would have provided more info

Just saying....

Presentation instead of the icon award the medal picture?????

I was lost but if your english is not up to par then forgive me for sounding this way

I'll look into it here locally and see if I can dig up anything.

Anyone else running this mod on 3.7.4 PL1?

[CypherSTL]

Alright. I've tested the newest release (3.7.3) on vBulletin 3.7.4. PL1 and everything is working properly.

I still need to figure out why its not sorting the awards.

alright cypher, i look forward to it. it is really scaring my users away

As a temporary workaround you could just disable the php error messages so your users do not see them.

Just place the following line in the .htaccess file in your forum root:

php_flag display_errors off

As for the error you are getting, I suspect you are using mysqli instead of mysql. There is nothing wrong with that, actually it is the preferred way with php5, but the memberlist code works only with the old mysql. I haven't tested this though, just looked at the code.

I would like to lower the current location on my postbit_legacy template but I am not sure what to move. The awards are currently velow the ranking and I would like them to be at the bottom after "Rep Power".

What do I have to adjust to make this happen?

Thanks in advance

As far as I know their is not a template hook to for dynamic placement of the Awards Showcase at that location.

You would have to manually edit your postbit template.

As for the people requesting that the border be removed from the Awards Showcase within the postbit, the next release does have 3 different display options that you can choose from. Currently I'm tackling the sort orders within the awards system. Once that is completed, I will release an update.

Version 3.7.4 Released

• Sorting should be working correctly
• Removed unused plugins
• Added multiple display options for Postbit Display (see attachments)

Everyone should update to this latest version.
