please follow the readme and the template Edits in the Install file and the readme file to get it fully working.

If you download this, upload the new .xml file to your Prodcts and let it overwrite everything.
This will Fix the URL appreance AND the Box in the Request Form where it now says "Recipient User ID" instead of the old "Recipient Username" and its a bit smaller for letting you know

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!

hi SM

i am using 3.7.4 and while attempting to re-import product after uploading the new files, an error occurred as you can see in the attachment.

what should i do now?

[TheLastSuperman]

Update!

Sorry about this guys, one simple mistake on my part.

In line 3 of the XML product file I used & instead of AND (habit) so it was not importing!

Fixed!

- Removed the old YARS.0.0.2.1.zip and re-uploaded the correct package w/ the same name.
- Included the YARSxml.zip which is just the product itself.

S-MAN

[Nadeemjp]

ok so i should only re-import the product? and do not upload the updated files?
also, at my site the awards used to appear as is attached n this post. what i wante is that instead of stacking up under moods and other information, the awards block should go on the left side of these informations. just like in the third black image you posted in your first post.

can you please tell me where should i make what sort of changes?

thanks a bunch

Just the product via YARSxml.zip as you had already downloaded the new package before the fix!

And....

For your awards mod... Hanco's or the new 4.0 Version?

Well it should not matter just curious as that should be a simple template edit!

Try this info on for size and see if it leads you in the right direction, if not, then come back and see me!

dear SM

I am still confronting this error once i am assigning users their ranks:

Warning: mysql_num_rows(): supplied argument is not a valid MySQL result resource in [path]/member.php(506) : eval()'d code on line 213

what could be the reason?

[Nadeemjp]

and i was actually confusing your ranks and your awards showcase
actually i wanted the awaed and rank showcase to come on the leftside as is in your attached images. and by left i dont mean towards the avatar, i mean just immediate left of the information like place, country, sign, rep power etc, the award and rank showcase should appear on the left of these stats instead of stacking underneath since this consumes too much of horizontal space. see my image attached. in this image u can see how much horizontal space is consumed.

[Nadeemjp]

i would want the award and rank showcase to move as directed in the image with arrows:

I'm beginning to hate theses errors you guys are getting lol!

I will have to look into this... since I do not have 3.7 ( currently 3.6) then I will have to download the new Awards Mod 4.0 for 3.7 as I noticed the coder who created it said some changes had to be made for it to work properly with 3.7 and that's why he updated it (it had re-usable code as well...) so basically I have a few 3.7 users who it works fine for and other who must be above 3.7.3 RC1 which has a bug i.e. yours . Please bare w/ me as I try to figure out what the snag is however I will only release the new file as a test only i.e. I will need a guinea pig who knows how to backup their database to test the new beta version to confirm the error is in fact gone. I have a dummy/test forum I check most of my mods on before installing but it's turned off and only I know the IP so basically it's fine for me to test w/ before I install it on the live site....I do not own a 3.7 version to test with so sorry about this and hopefully another 3.7 user can clue someone in on a solution with my help. I will most likely have this ready by next weekend due to RL commitments so please be patient.

It's all where you place the code! Simply PM me a copy of your postbit template and I will see where the code needs to be moved to and PM it back!

Thanks All!

hey u r more than kind my friend
so i guess i can wait for you to remove the bug
i am using 3.7.4
and man i would have loved to help you out by becoming your "guinea pig" but unfortunately i am a sales guy who sells machines to customers and not know a bit of html coding or running a forum:d. i just wanted to have a website of my own a disucssion forum where i can have my friends for mutual discussion and fun. so i really apologise for being a pain in the neck and not being able to assist.

as for the postbit, let me re-confirm. you are talking about postbit template of the style i am using right? if that is the case, i am sending it along with this message (but via pm) but bro i would like you to tell me where what kind of coding is done, so that i could leanr too

looking forward to the bug fixing though

[Nadeemjp]

ok Michael, i can tell you one more thing though.
whenever i click the profile button, this error appears on the top of the screen. it doesnt do anything (except annoy me that my system is not complete) and the nromal functions are performed as well. if it is doing something under the surface that i wont be knowing.

if i dont go into profile, this error doesnt show./......does this information help?
