Bingo. Found the mod that conflicts with this - Add Ignore User To Postbit Dropdown.

When that one is enabled it blocks the awards from appearing in all locations of the postbit.

Can you make an auto award function so it's award member who has joined for certain date or reached certain post count?

Thanks

Thanks

That would require coding a cron script. That currently isn't on my list to complete right now.

You could code on yourself that would do that. Eventually, it will most likely make its way into future versions. However, currently I'm more focused on bug fixes in our beta release.

YaAS BETA 3 Released

Check first post for the change log. I do believe I have everyones bugs fixed that have been reported so far.

If you've edited your Awards CSS Template, be sure to copy all the data from the "Default CSS Data.txt" over your existing template.

Please do not request additional features at this time. I'm working as hard I can right now to simply get all the bugs out of the awards system on vBulletin 4.0.

After the mod is considered stable, and ready for production use, I will work on additional features as necessary. Thank you for your understanding.

Yes, exactly. First we need a stable vb4 version.

Thank you CypherSTL for your hard work, I'm updating BETA 3 and will let you know my feedback shortly.

All the bugs that I've reported has been solved! Thanks man! I will report if I found any more...
Another thing that would be great is to allow a group of members to give medals. Thanks.

Edit: The mod cp in not working again, the same parse error
I solved it adding the awards.php of the Beta2 I don't know if this is correct...

Yeah. I just reuploaded the BETA3 Zip with the correct ModCP Awards file. For some reason I keep getting that mixed up with one of my others.

Sorry about that.

What's the default css data.txt for?

[Bouncer222]

so far so good, updated.

Question: I want to have all of my forum members' avatars show on top of their medals and rank image, where do I move what code in posbit_legacy?
