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!

11/16/2008 - YARS Quick Fix and Zip Package contents correction.

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 for those who DL'd the syntax slighted xml.

Template Change Updates:

10/25/2008 - Updated w/ alternate code for postbit for a different display option!

Example:

In the screenshot provided, the normal way to display can be the Rank along w/ a border and title saying "Ranks Showcase" now if you want to display as just the image w/o a border as seen in the darker style screenshot - When you edit template "postbit" do not follow the normal instructions, follow these! (Or simply remove the old code version and follow info below!

Find:

			<if condition="$show['avatar']"><td class="alt2"><a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$post[userid]"><img src="$post[avatarurl]" $post[avwidth] $post[avheight] alt="<phrase 1="$post[username]">$vbphrase[xs_avatar]</phrase>" border="0" /></a></td></if>

Add Below:

<!-- show ranks -->
<if condition="$post[showuserranks]">
<!-- <fieldset><legend><a href="member.php?u=$post[userid]#rank" title="$vbphrase[more_ranks]">$vbphrase[rank_showcase]</a></legend>  -->
<td class="alt2">
<div>
$post[userranks]
<!-- <br> -->
<!-- <a href="member.php?u=$post[userid]#rank" title="$vbphrase[more_ranks]">$vbphrase[total_ranks]</a>: $post[num_ranks] -->
</div>
</td>
<!-- </fieldset> -->
</if>
<!-- /show ranks -->

oh bro i just noticed it only does it with
IE 6. Crazy thing is the majority of my
members use the old IE 6 program.

maybe if i make them .gif instead of .png?

i dont know if you have access to IE 6 to
see what im talking about.

thanks again bro! i wanna use this program
but the grey box is driving me crazy lol.

[xthecanadianx]

Ok so heres the fix.

They need to be .gif

must be a stupid IE6 glitch...

[TheLastSuperman]

Allright! & Tell them to get on 7 for the love of.... lol I mean it's about time don't you think

I did not even expect that ...IE6... I opened up on my lunch in FF & IE7 which was almost over else I would have spent more time looking into it but just now getting home.

I'm glad you have yours fixed for your IE6 users & thanks for the info, just in case anyone else runs into it they can refer back here!
