Is there a way to have the award show up in a member's signature field, rather than below the info in their mini-profile?

I'e noticed after some awards collect, they create a lot of blank space on brief postings, and would like to eliminate some of that white space by having them lined up across the signature box. Possible?

You could try somehere like pixabay.com/images/search/award, but to be honest, you would probably be better creating your own, that way you can design them to fit your forum style/theme.

I'm having trouble finding actual badges/award icons/images to use with this system.

1. Where can i get a set of them?

2. If i make them from scratch with Photoshop, is that the only way? 3. What are the general topics for which badges/awards are given in a forum community?

Yes, in your Post layout template, add this at the bottom of the 'foot' cell..

<div class="awards $[post.created_by.id] $[post.created_by.name]" style="width: 100%"></div>

That is... Find this in the layout, near to the bottom...

<td class="foot">
 {if $[post.edited]}
 <div class="edited_by"><span class="italic">Last Edit:</span> $[post.edited.date] by $[post.edited.by_user]{if $[post.edited.reason]}: $[post.edited.reason]{/if}</div>
 {/if}
 {if $[post.created_by.signature]}
 <div class="signature">$[post.created_by.signature]</div>
 {/if}
 <div class="awards $[post.created_by.id] $[post.created_by.name]" style="width: 100%"></div>
</td>

and add the red.

Hey Todge !

Glad to be using another one of your plugins -- just a quick question. Is there any code or modification that would allow only Protected Awards to appear in the mini-profile?

Nope, at least not at the moment.

I don't have a computer right now, but if you can wait until I manage to fix it I'll see what I can do.

[NWRP Staff]

Yeah no problem at all. Don't worry about it too much, just if there is a way to do it that'd be cool type thing?

Sorry for the delay..

Can you please try version 3.0.62.

Then. to remove the protected awards from the mini-profile, add this to the plugins 'Award Styling'

.miniProfileAwards .protected { display: none; };
or to remove the unprotected awards add this..
.miniProfileAwards .unprotected { display: none; };

I hope it's okay to post a question here on this plug-in. It works like a charm, but I only want to use it to give awards for contests. How do I remove the award from the user's mini-profile once someone wins the next contest?

Thanks!

Questions about this plugin is what this thread is for..



Unfortunately, what you are asking is not so easy. The only way to stop certain members from having their awards displayed in the way you are wanting is to remove them.

What you could do is whenever an award is out of date, protect it, and put this in the plugins' CSS..

.miniProfileAwards .protected { display: none; };

That will hide the old awards in the miniprofile, but you will need to relist the awards whenever you need to give them again.

[sef1268]

Okay. So if I understand what you're saying, once you have given a member an award, you can't just click something to remove it, right?

If so...maybe the award system isn't the best fit for what I'm needing. I just need for a little trophy to show up in their mini profile until the next winner wins it. I couldn't find a way to add and remove images from a member's mini profile, so I went with this instead.

Thanks!

Oh.. You can remove an award that a member has. When you click on the Awards button on the profile page, you can take an award away just as easily as giving it. Click an award in the top box to give it, or click on it in the bottom box to remove it.

Ah! Okay, I'll give that a try. 

Thank you! Greatly appreciate the help with this. 

[Todge]

No worries..

Loving this plug-in. I do have a couple of follow-up questions: Is there a way to create a roll-over effect when you move your mouse over the Awards Title (pop-up vs. having the award show up in the mini-profile) so that it is clear that it's a link and not just static text?

Or, if I opt to have the award show up in the mini-profile, is there a way to change the font size of the title? (My Awards)

Thanks again!

Hi,
I have one more question to the above that I posted yesterday. I'm using this plug-in to give members a "trophy" when they solve the various contests. I was going to use a specific trophy for each type of recurring contest. For example, Hangman Challenge has one type of trophy; Word Scramble has its own trophy; Scavenger Hunt has another; etc.

However, the plug-in won't seem to let me award the same trophy more than once.  Instead of adding additional of the same trophy, it shows the trophy and then says X2 or X3, depending on how many times they have won that particular trophy. 

I came up with a work-around on this, but it's clunky (had to host the same image in several different places in order to give it unique URLs to upload multiple times). 

Is there a better solution?

Thanks very much again!

You can.. Add this to the plugins CSS Styling..

.miniprofileAwardsTitle:hover {
   background-color: orange;
   color: blue;
   font-size: 150%;
}
You can add pretty much any CSS instruction to show when you hover over the link.

I did do that for another user but I'll be damned if I can remember who (or how).. Leave it with me and I'll see what I can do.

[sef1268]

Thank you for the CSS to style the font! I'll plug that in and tinker around with it today; greatly appreciate it.

If you can find the work-around on multiples of the same trophy, that would be great. I may also look back through some of the related support threads and see if I spot it.

Many thanks again!
