the error, disapper after i update the new version.

[Abominus]

We want to display the award icons in several lines, i.e., add a line break after every 10th icon. Would the following change in the product-yet_another_award_system.xml do the trick?

First we add a new template awards_bit2:

PHP Code:

- <template name="awards_bit2" templatetype="template" date="1174777642" username="Cypher" version="">
- <![CDATA[ <a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$award[userid]&tab=myawards#aw_issue$award[issue_id]"><img src="$award[award_icon_url]" alt="$award[award_name]" border="0" /></a><br>;
  ]]> 
  </template> 


It's just a copy of the original awards_bit with the &nbsp replaced by < br>.

Then we modify the loop inserting the awards as follows. Original version:

PHP Code:

                $aw_i = 0;

                while ($award = $db->fetch_array($alluserawards))
                {
                    $aw_i++;
                    if ($aw_i <= $vbulletin->options['aw_display_limit'])
                    {
                        eval('$post[userawards] .= "' . fetch_template('awards_bit') . '";');
                    }
                } 


is replaced by

PHP Code:

                $aw_i = 0;
                $aw_cnt = 0;

                while ($award = $db->fetch_array($alluserawards))
                {
                    $aw_i++;
                    $aw_cnt++;
                    if ($aw_i <= $vbulletin->options['aw_display_limit'])
                    {
                        if $aw_cnt<10
                        {
                            eval('$post[userawards] .= "' . fetch_template('awards_bit') . '";');
                        }
                        else
                        {
                            eval('$post[userawards] .= "' . fetch_template('awards_bit2') . '";');
                            $aw_cnt = 0;
                        }
                    }
                } 


Or is there an easier way to reach the same result?

[home9000]

Is it working in 3.6.5 ?

[MOF]

Is there a way to decide who can and who can't give awards?

[Breakpoint]

How can I turn the texts that says "awards" in my forum to "Trophies"?

Just the text, dont need to turn any of the files names.

[fodboldforumdk]

Seems i cant find the answer here. but i installed this mod without any probs. but i cant se the awards anywere. the only spot i can se who i have awarded is in the memberlist.

What could be the problem?

[WreckRman2]

I installed this and can't get anything to show up in the postbit. Everything else seems to work. Is there anything else I need to edit to make it show up?

[scottny]

I installed it and get the settings screen but I do not see the screen where I can award people. Sorry if this is something simple but I am kind of new to this. What am I missing?

[Nadavy]

Hey, I was wondering if it would be possible to make it so this option is editable under the 'administrator permissions' section so that not everyone who has access to the ACP can mess with the system.

[Nadeemjp]

is it 3.8 compatible?an my problem is still not solved
