Awards System (3.0.9)

[Todge]

To update this, or any plugin, first make sure you make a note of all the settings. In this case, I suggest you copy/paste your Award Images and Award Descriptions into notebook so you can put them back in the same format.

Then in your admin panel, delete the Awards System plugin.. DO NOT delete the plugin data, just the plugin. Then download and import the new version, re-enter the settings and away you go. All your members should still have their original awards intact.

Hey, I'm having a very annoying issue all of the sudden I added some new items and when I saved my work it said something was invalid. Unable to fix it, I removed the plugin and re-added it. Now I get this error pop-up when I try to enable it: This plugin requires that the fields "Award Images", "Award Descriptions", "Multiple Awards", and "Display Awards" be set before it can be enabled. I have each of those selections filled in, but nothing I do makes this message go away, and therefore I cannot re-enable the plugin.

Please help!

Edit: Extra info - I was using a slightly older version of the plugin, but now I'm using the most recent one. Same error no matter which one I use.

Unfortunately I can't help you with your forum in maintenance mode, but if you can't enable it I'd not be able to see it anyhow.

BUT, from what you are saying, it sounds like a PB issue rather than a plugin issue, as plugins can not effect the admin panel.

I'd say leave it a day or so and try again, if you still get the error, then try posting about it in the bug report board.

Thanks a lot Todge the plugin updated and works excellent.

There are settings in the plugin where you can set a height for the award images.

'Awards Size' is the height of the awards, this is the height the awards will be displayed forum wide, unless you add a size in 'Mini-Profile Award Size', if you have a setting there, then the images in the mini-profiles will be displayed as that size, while leaving the images in the profile page the original size.

Just thought I will make a offer to users of this plug in.

If you would like some award images made up for your forum, PM me the images (they dont have to be transparent as I can make them transparent), text and font/colour/size info and other settings you want I will be more then happy to make some for users.

Image host MUST be nimga.com/ all others are blocked by my proxy server.

I love using Adobe Photoshop c6 and don't really have much to do these days and I will like to give back to PB as they have given so much help to me.

Some of my work (more to come! I will add them as I make more for my forum)

I did not read through all 23 pages. Does this code allow you to work on a point system as well?

IE: Members can earn x points per post they make, and then buy an award for another member?

Can this code work like the shop code that was in v4?

[Todge]

I'm afraid not. As only staff members can give out awards, the only way that could be done is if you ask a staff member to award another member for you.

Hi Todge. A while back I had an issue with guest posts showing awards in the mini-profile which was fixed after I fixed the PM button by checking if $[user.is_member].

However, now I notice that the awards and the PM button are showing up on posts of deleted members. (First post here by "Logan" - tstappedout.proboards.com/thread/3153/)

Coincidentally, the awards shown are those that the person looking at it has... so I see my own awards on the deleted user's mini-profile.

My mini-profile code shows:
<div class="$[miniprofile_class]">
$[user] {if $[current_user.is_member]}{if $[user.is_member]}<span class="float-right"><a href="$[user.pm_href]" alt="PM $[user.name]">PM</a></span>{/if}{/if}<br />
{if $[user.is_guest]}Guest<br />{/if}

...



Any ideas?

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?

I am having an issue right now and I am unsure how to resolve it. I have two themes/skins on my board, and the awards system is not working on my default one. How do I adjust this so that it is either working on all themes, or is always working on the one I have set to default? 

[Todge]

Make sure that the mini-profiles in your themes class 'mini-profile', and that they contain the member's profile link, then all should be good.

If that doesn't help, could you post a link to your forum and I'll take a look.

Thanks.

For some reason, I can't give myself awards?
I've tried logging into a different account and it lets me do it, yet both the accounts have the same permissions?

[Todge]

When you say you can't give yourself awards, are you not seeing the button in the profile page? Or can you get the go through all the options but they are not saving?

[lxwis]

I can't see the button on my profile page.

[Todge]

The account that will not let you give awards... Is that a staff account?
