INSTALL: Read INSTALL.txt

This mod was developed from the YAAS - Yet Another Awards System mod by Hancho! You can find out all about it here --> Click Here <-- Great mod, please see his listed credits so everyone who has lead up to this variation can be honored!

Developed by Kristof aka JurGradi, a recently retired administrator of Tournament Gaming World and a good friend of mine for almost a year now, He is a brilliant web guru who has surprised me at every turn with his vast knowledge of well... everything! Most certainly TheLastSuperman's.... Superman!

Install instructions and everything you need should be in the zip, read it carefully and take your time, this works and has been tested on http://www.tournamentgamingworld.com/online in several styles. Some of the guru's out there can tweak it more to suit their tastes all we ask is credit where credit is due i.e. how we listed where the idea came from.

For questions or Support please post below and I'll attempt to help you in any way I can even buggin' JurGradi on occasion however he has included an installer which I have repackaged via .zip therefor it has all the required files in the zip plus the same content in an installer form included as well so choose your method!

If you like it click install and be sure to check out the Yet Another Awards System by Hancho!

Special thanks to my friend JurGradi for his development of Yet Another Ranks System!

*The General Stars are the mod* ignore the custom image I inserted via html in the user title area... I need to remove it now lol!

Update: Uploaded YARSRANKS.zip which contains ranks for tournaments/clans/gaming sites to use with Yet Another Ranks System, themes are for Battlefield 2142 & Call of Duty 4! Special thanks to Called for the graphics!

here my post from the upper post:

Sry, that i steal your time, but i have a last problem.

My problem can you see here.

Now i have 2 showcases for the YAAS, the left showcase is the code from you, that i manually type in the postbit, the right Award showcase is the automaticly showcase from YAAS. If i deactivate the automatically right showcase, then the manually left award showcase will be deactivate too.

So how can i do it, that the automatically right showcase is on the position of the left manually showcase or that the automatically showcase is deactivated, but the manually showcase works?

I hope, you understand me. :-)

Thanks again, Trake Duke

Wasting my time??? It says supported right

Now if I keep helping you know Nadeemjp is going to get one of us as that update I keep promising is getting put off eh? LOL... Nadeemjp ASAP buddy, just happened to check in while the wife ran to the store, kids are playing and I see someone needs saving so let's do this!

You want yours to look like mine --> http://www.tournamentgamingworld.com...=1273#post1273

So you see I use YAAS as well, it's on the right HOWEVER you see my Ranks Showcase? Not the text huh It's the 2142 Generals Stars on the left between my avatar and name

How to do that is on the first page of this mod in post #3 or Click Here.

Basically it's where you put it in postbit (or for some postbit_legacy) that determines how it displays! So tinker w/ that postbit template to make it show your YAAS and YARS how you want it to.... remember in between one line or the next is the key! Just read the info as it should help you achieve what you want from Post #3 where it describes how to make it display w/o the text etc. Ohh and it will display vertically if no border w/ text instead of horizontal .

Let me know if that helps! Don't fret if I'm not on before this weekend, I just have a lot going on so bare w/ me but next is that update for Nadeemjp else I would not be treating everyone fairly eh? Also I want to do that as I think it will help someone who posted a problem in the 3.6.8 thread for this mod!

Perfect! I'm glad you have it working now

Up next is the update I promised Nadeemjp as I think that will also help WNxWakko who posted in my 3.6.8 thread for this mod - he also uses 3.7.3.

After I get that done... perhaps time to finish one of my other mods in production

Try this!

** IF that does not work, I believe a solution is in order (slight syntax correction and some other fixes) which is about to be released this weekend!

So if your one of the 80+ who have downloaded and not clicked "Installed", now might be a good time to do so as I actually use the update feature here on VB.org to send out information on updates .

Hopefully that will solve some of the slight problems you few have encountered!

Look for it most likely tomorrow

Any progress to limit the management of adding ranks down to super moderators or defined usergroups? I have upgraded my board to 3.7.4 however have had to disable this mod until a time when you add that capability.

Aye! WNxWakko, I forgot about that! Keep the harassment up (J/K but reminders help )

I'll see about that but it might be in the next release which is most likely 1-3 weeks away depending on RL stuff.

Nadeemjp! I hope this helps!

- Upload all the files just like you did the first time.
(See the revised Install.txt for information)
- Re-import the product .xml and your ready to go!
- You DO NOT have to redo any template edits naturally as you have already done those.

Let me know if that fixed your problem, if not I might have to see if someone will give me access to their 3.7 board as we are on 3.6.8 (to many reasons not to update yet so...) but like I said hopefully this fixes a few things!
