Users can't request or recommend awards, error messages come up, whats the deal?

[Xanlamin]

What is the error message? Have you set the usergroup permissions?

I have tried to add this a couple different times. I have added the files via FTP, then I add the product and when I click import I get this :
Database error in vBulletin 4.0.3:

Invalid SQL:
ALTER TABLE award ADD award_allowrecommend TINYINT( 1 ) DEFAULT 1 NOT NULL,ADD award_pointvalue TINYINT( 3 ) DEFAULT 0 NOT NULL;

MySQL Error : Duplicate column name 'award_allowrecommend'
Error Number : 1060
Request Date : Sunday, May 30th 2010 @ 10:49:55 PM

Any help would really be appreciated!

Installed into my vB4.03 site and all working fine ... EXCEPT:

If a member selects either "Request Award" or "Recommend Award" links, they receive the following message:

you do not have permission to access this page. This could be due to one of several reasons:

1. Your user account may not have sufficient privileges to access this page. Are you trying to edit someone else's post, access administrative features or some other privileged system?
2. If you are trying to post, the administrator may have disabled your account, or it may be awaiting activation.

I do have the "Allow member to request this award" and the "Allow member to recommend a member this award" options turned-on under each of the awards.
The "Award Category" is still set to "--default", so not sure if that's a problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE: Got it to work now. Apparently after you install everything and configure the Awards settings ... you ALSO have to go to the User Groups setting in the ACP and allow permissions there too. I didn't see that mentioned anywhere.

What version of PHP and mySQL are you running?

In the Read Me file included in the zip:

!!! MAKE SURE YOU BACK UP YOUR FORUM FILESYSTEM AND DATABASE BEFORE PROCEEDING !!!

Install and use this software at your OWN risk. The coders of this mod are NOT reponsible if something goes wrong with your forum.


* Usage of the Points System, and Award Automation require MySQL 5.0+

Your error deals with the point system.

Its not affecting my site in any way, basically when I try to add the product I get that error and its not able to add it.
PHP Version 5.2.13
MySQL Version 5.1.30.

Pretty sure I did everything correctly. I put the upload file into the root directory using FTP, once they all loaded, I then go to my ACP and try to add the product which is the point that I get that message. Any help is really appreciated.

Wouldn't it be easier to just include "installation instructions" for this mod, where items like this could be included ...?

Don't get me wrong, this is a great mod and I appreciate the quality work here. Just making a suggestion.

Anyway to get rid of this error message?
