I had already posted the fix...several times. I said what I said cause some people do not feel like reading (my post was not directed at you mum).

But why should I "re-post" the fix every time someone ask? Why can't people just go back a few pages to see if there question had already been asked instead of asking over and over and over.

I hate acting that way and I only end up doing it when people just get so lazy, us coders sit here and do all the work so these things work for you guys...pay the respects and do a little reading before complaining that something is not working, thats all I ask. Some of these hacks are so easy to get working on newer version but some are really difficult and take more time, like this hack for instance, it was a simple fix, I am working on doing something totally different for it's placement within the member profile but I can only work on it when I have the time, I do have a full time job plus other contract work, it's not like we have nothing else better to do but to play with php.

I apologize for my seemingly rudeness to all.

LOL - I understand what you mean - I think I may have even shouted similar things on vB.org LOL - Of course I couldn't help but comment your post, as I thought it was hilarious - especially the $20 fee LOL = genius.

Still loving this mod and it works great on 3.7. I don't discredit your frustration as I completely understand. Maybe update the first post with a **Fix for 3.7 and link it directly to the post. Just a suggestion

[Xanlamin]

I would if I could, I am not the maker of this mod.

I only came up with the fix because I needed it for my 3.7 site, if I could get the permission I would take over support though.

[Xanlamin]

ok folks, I have just about finished with a tabbed version for the profile, it will be 1 file upload and a product install. When done i will attach the files. You will install the hack as normal and disregarding the memberinfo template completely, instead of doing the memberinfo template edit you will just upload awards_profile.php file then install the product product_awards_profile.xml.

This will just be the first of a fix of this hack, when I get just a bit more time I will incorporate it into the original product xml and the file uploads, I am also working on doing this as a complete product install where you only need to upload the files and install the product xml with the xml doing all the template edits for you.

If you wish to follow the progress of my work you may visit my site, http://www.battle-lands.com

You can find the project within Project Tools.

To save on frustration - for the memberinfo 3.7 fix just have a read of this post

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=142487

and this is the link the YAAS project page mentioned previously (includes 3.7 fix and tabs fix)

Many thanks btw

[Xanlamin]

Not a problem, we are working on this as much as we can, I know that codedigital is also working towards this goal, we are talking together as much as we can as well in a joint effort to get this hack to everyones liking.

If there are any questions for me please direct them on my forums as to not clutter this one up much more so new people can easily find the fix for this hack.

Thank You
Xanlamin

OK - before anyone flames and goes total bezerko, telling me to read back several pages or blablabla - PLEASE HUSH

I've seen pages and pages back - so far I haven't seen the question I have answered or remedied... I would like to add the awards profile edit so that it's like one of the tabs like at http://www.battle-lands.com/forums/member.php?u=1 --- ALSO - I'm looking for a way to list awards in a Mini Awards section off to the right module blocks.

EDITED: Ah! I see some are working for a fix right now.
Thanx GUYZ


Jacquii.

[Xanlamin]

no problem.

[EagleNick]

Sorry, but I haven't read back through this thread.

I am wondering if the latest version is compatible with vB 3.7.2?

Thanks in advance for any help
