[HTL] & [TXT] Awards/Medals/Cards Hack [vB3]

Awards/ Medals/ Cards Hack [vB3]
By: AnimeWebby
Idea by: Lesane
Updated: 28nd May 2004 - Installer not table prefix friendly.

What this hack does:
This hack allows you to add awards, medals or cards to your vbulletin and assign these to members who you think deserve them.
These graphics will then show up in their member profile and/or their postbits depending on where you choose to add this hack.

New in v2
- Extra page showing all awards available as well as all the users who have earned an award.
- Support for full urls and relative ones for award icons.
- Support for awards on showpost and announcement

Other Stuff:
Although I give credit to Lesane for the idea this hack is totally recoded to be less server intensive and also uses a whole lot less queries. Therefor I do not consider this a 'port'.

Installation:
Download the appropriate .Zip file and follow the instructions in the readme file.

Upgrading:
So far there are no ways to upgrade this hack, if you have an old copy installed then you need to uninstall and reinstall from scratch.

Coming Soon:
- Awards added to the search and memberlists.
- Added functions to the addition of awards as well as cron functions to assign awards automatically to those members with 'X' posts, registered 'X' days etc...
- Option to show award name rather than graphic.
- Option to turn awards OFF & ON in postbit and memberinfo
- Request award on awards page (at Cyricx' request)
(not necessarily in that order)

Make sure you backup your files and database first! This hack has been tested on vB RC1 and RC4 only!

Please click the install button

If you experience any errors, problems or the hack doesn't seem to be functioning correctly then send me a pm with the following info:
- HTL or Standalone installer.
- Version of vB you are running.
- File where error is encountered.
- Exact error or description of error.

If you installed this hack before 23rd May and are getting foreach errors in your showthread then follow the step below:

In /includes/functions_showthread.php find:

PHP Code:

    // sorts through all the stuff to return the postbit template 


below that add:

PHP Code:

    // user awards
    global $userawards; 


If in your showthread.php member post counts show N/A, they have no profile link or their user title is guest you MUST run 'Fix broken user profiles' in the update counters part of the admincp. This is found under the nav bar 'Import & Maintenance' > 'Update Counters' > 'Fix broken user profiles'. This will add the awards for all the users currently in your database and prevent showing incorrent member info.

I get an error when trying to install the hack using the Hack Tracking Log at /admincp/index.php?loc=install_htl.php?inside=1:

Parse error: parse error in /home/quibbler/public_html/forums/includes/functions.php on line 1805

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: exec_nocache_headers() in /home/quibbler/public_html/forums/admincp/global.php on line 37

Looked at the code, but couldn't figure anything out. Any idea what's wrong? I think it has something to do with the file edits I did for this hack.

I have installed this successfully on RC3 and I have to say - GREAT HACK !!!

I followed the txt instructions and there were some differences in the codes quoted and what are in my phps but that was only a minnor problem. Also I spotted one very small error. In awards.php line 179 should be:

PHP Code:

<td class=\"$bgclass\" align=\"center\"><img src=\"../$award[icon_url]\" border=\"0\"></td> 


Instead of ...

PHP Code:

<td class=\"$bgclass\" align=\"center\"><img src=\"$award[icon_url]\" border=\"0\"></td> 


(You missed out the ../ and as a result the images don't preview in the admin cp)

2 questions ...

1) How do I split the awards up. Currently they are directly next to each other with no spaces.
3) Any chance of some more medals/awards/trophy images being posted?

Thanks Again Great Work

Add a <br> tag before, or after $post[arcadeawards] depending on how you would like it to look.

In postbit or postbit_legacy depending on which you use.

@ the quibbler: Line 1805 or any lines surrounding that in /includes/functions.php has nothing to do with this hack unless you put something in the wrong place.

@the watcher: I am aware of the changes in code. I am trying to setup my own board and am not worried about some minor indescretions in the find and replace parts.

Also that isn't so much a mistake if you use full url's to your awards images which I thought people woulc use. But I will take this into account and build some added functionality.

1) shove a couple of &nbsp; at the end of the awards template or you can add some <br />'s depending on how you want them split up.
3) I think you meant 2) but oh well :P Not at the moment I am too busy, and not too graphical.

thanks

Ill find my own images and post them here haha

With reference to the spacing, this is what i was trying to acheive - sorry if I did not explain clearly ...

Ideally i would like my 5 medals on one line with 2 spaces inbetween and then my 3 trophies on the line below with perhaps 3 spaces in between.

couldn't work out how to do that though

thanks again

ERROR!!!

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX/forums/public_html/includes/functions_showthread.php on line 693

when you run forums/showpost.php?p=xxxxx


You may want to add $awards array into showpost.php too, like you did in showthread.php

[InfiniteWebby]

I will be moving it to the top of showthre_functions.php in the next version please bare with me.
