looks much better if you place the conditional as a <tr>......</else> right at the start of the table

i wanted to let only admins, mods and supermods give awards so i did this:

PHP Code:

<if condition="$bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=='6' OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=='7' OR $bbuserinfo[usergroupid]=='5'"> 


but it won't let them add awards. says "user has no permission" page when they click on add award.

they can see the "add award", they just can't perform the function because they don't have permission.

suggestions?

try it with OR condition= instead of OR $bbuser...

They can see it, but they can't use it if it's not thier forum.

what do you mean by "their" forum. also, is there a way to make it so they could use it?

The forums they moderate.

To replace the navbits, that displays 'Search Results', in search.php I added the bold between:

// add to the navbits
$navbits[''] = $vbphrase['search_results'];
if ($award !=""){
$navbits[''] = 'Editor\'s Pick';
}
$templatename = 'search_results';


Replace Editor's Pick with whatever you want

$displayUsers = implode(" $vbphrase[or] ", $display['users']);

under it put:

$award="mytest"; //or whatever just to create the condition

then in search_results template, after:

<phrase 1="$searchtime">$vbphrase[search_took_x_seconds]</phrase>
</span>

put in

<if condition="$award"><img src="images/misc/rosette.gif"> <else />

and before the close of the </td>

you close the condition

</if>

you can put whatever you want next to image

I have the same Problem as yinyang! I tried all Examples here but no one works. Moderators can the the "ADD AWARD" Button, but they have no Permission to add one!

Ist vll. jemand deutschsprachiges hier, der es hinbekommen hat das Moderatoren Awards vergeben können?
