Awards System (3.0.9)

[Todge]

Here's the function that sets the awards key. I'm not sure it will help, but you're welcome to look.


function setAwards()
{
   var peep = parseInt(location.href.split(/\/user\//)[1]);
   
   var awdsR = '';
   var ar = document.getElementById('receivedAwards').getElementsByTagName('img');
   for(a=0; a<ar.length; a++)
   {
       if(ar[a].className != 'hideAWD')
       {
           var aa = parseInt(ar[a].name)+174;
           awdsR += String.fromCharCode(a+174);
           awdsR += String.fromCharCode(aa);
       }
   }
   
   if(awdsR == '')
   {
       awdsR = '00';
   }
   
   proboards.plugin.key('todge_awards_key').set(peep,awdsR);
   
setTimeout(function(){document.location.href = document.location.href.split('/activity')[0];},1000);
       
   return;
}

Thank you..

What browser are you using? As I can see your award image just fine..

Hi Todge. I just upgraded to v2.2.0 and have noticed a little weirdness with guest posts.

My forum allows guest posts on one board, and those guests are showing up with awards (not all of the available awards, just 3). Is this something you can look at for me at your convenience? Please let me know what information you need from me. Thank you!

Hey Todge, I noticed I am currently using v2.0.6 and realized there is a newer version v2.2.0. I have quite a few awards already set up with my current version and I must say, this is one of -- if not, our favorite plugin to date. That said, I am somewhat hesitant to grab the newest version for a couple of reasons. One, what does this have that my current version v2.0.6 have that I do not -- and 2, is this as easy as removing my current v2.0.6 and uploading this one and all my awards will still be there without an issue? These are the concerns I have with grabbing this new version .. and further, I come from the old adage, "If it ain't broke, then don't fix it." However, if this version IS better ... and nothing will really happen with my current version ... should I just keep the version I have now? Sorry for rambling, just need some insight on all this. Thanks!

Could you point me to a thread, or even a post where this is happening please?

Hmm.. I can't remember exactly, but I think the major difference would be the function used when switching pages in a thread.

If you updated the plugin, so long as you don't delete or clear the key the current awards would remain. You'd probably have to re-enter your award URLs and their descriptions though, but just save them in notepad and copy/paste them back in after updating.

Internet Explorer.

I only have IE8, so assuming you're using IE9 or IE10, there's no way I can check. Do you have Firefox or Opera installed you could try?

[M³]

Todge Ok then. So, when I delete my current plugin, just click 'Delete' and not 'Delete Plugin & Data', correct? Then just upload the new version.

[Todge]

Yup, just make sure you have a copy of your award URL list etc., so you can re-enter them.

[M³]

Ok, great. Thanks

Edit:  Worked like a charm!  Thanks, again!

tstappedout.proboards.com/thread/6/add-me?page=10 - There are several guest posts on this page.

[Todge]

All the guests' mini-profiles look normal to me, but this image you posted tells me something..



That 'PM' flag that's being displayed in the top right corner, is that a link? If so, that's what could be tripping up the awards plugin, and why would you want a 'PM' link in a guests' mini-profile?

[marebito]

Will Google Chrome not work?

If not I'll get FireFox.

[Todge]

Yup, Chrome should work, though don't quote me on that, I don't use it..

Basically, try any browser other than IE10 and see if you have any luck.

Yay, I seen it on chrome, but then when I went to check the awards on threads it didn't show it under their names.
