Hi.

You say you've downloaded them, but have you installed them? Here's a handy guide on how to install downloaded plugins: support.proboards.com/thread/431074/downloading-importing-plugins-guide

Also note that, while logged into your forum, you can just go to Admin > Plugins > Plugin Library and find a plugin you want. Going that route, it should also have an Install button for that plugin - saving you from having to download first, as that will install it directly to your forum for you.

Hello, Sorry For The Late Reply,  Yes, I Have Uploaded Them To My Board,  (Not Downloaded On My Computer)

Still I Don't See A Difference On My Board, So I Just Gave Up, And Deleted Them Off My Board.  The Plugin That I Would Like To Have Is The ( Forum Age ) Plugin.  I Could Not Get That One To Work Either, So I Just Deleted That Plugin.

Hello
First time setting up a forum from scratch and trying to figure out how to place certain plugins on the pages since I do not know how to code at all.

Hi.

Not all plugins are just plug-n-play, so to speak. Some may require you to add a <div> or <span> so the plugin knows where to display. Also, be sure you are going into the plugin's UI and add needed information there. To get into a plugin's UI, go to Admin > Plugins > Manage and click on the plugin's name (not the Edit button for it). For the Forum Age plugin, click on the Settings tab in the UI and, at least, fill in the first field (labeled Text) and the Forum Start Date section.

If you need more help, just let us know.

I see that you've got a thread here ( support.proboards.com/thread/665091/new-forum-setup ) that has already been replied to. In the future, please don't hijack someone else's thread - always best to make your own thread so Helpers can focus on your issue.

If you post a screenshot of your settings, I can see if there might be an issue with them. Or, you could post your forum's URL and I'll be able to look at the settings that way.

NOTE: For the latter, the forum must be guest-friendly to view (I don't need to post anything) and the plugin needs to be installed and active.

EDIT: I've also noticed from your original post in this thread that you had the Scavenger Hunt plugin installed. The support thread for that is here ( support.proboards.com/thread/640008/scavenger-hunt-updated-msg ) if you want my help getting that to work for you.

Most plugins have support threads, which is the best place to get help with a particular plugin. For the Scavenger Hunt plugin, I can help you with that - but you'll need to install it back on your forum so I can take a look at your settings. Is there a specific problem you're having with it? What is it doing, or not doing, that it should(n't) be doing?

As far as the Awards System plugin, I'll tag Todge - the author of that plugin.

What exactly is the issue you are having with any of the plugins? Are you entering the information in the plugin's UI? To get to a plugin's UI, go to Admin > Plugins > Manage and click on the plugin's name (not on the Edit button). That will put you into the plugin's UI, and you should land on the About tab. From there, you can navigate to the other tabs in the UI. It's in those tabs that you may need to enter some information for the plugin to work properly. Not all plugins are plug-n-play, but authors are typically here to help you (or other members who are familiar with the plugin in question).

Let us help you.

Hi k9members , concerning the Awards System plugin you are having problems with..

I see you have filled in the base folder option with..

http://village.photos/members/Safetyguy/My-Gifts/639174/Rose

And then have listed the URLs for your awards.. I have listed a few below..

http://village.photos/images/user/54f4cc9c-91c4-458f-a6c9-16777781ab36/0b6c6847-aea5-40e2-98b3-67eb49db99f1.png
http://village.photos/images/user/54f4cc9c-91c4-458f-a6c9-16777781ab36/00a8fb76-6e31-4342-ae7d-abc900315a14.png
http://village.photos/images/user/54f4cc9c-91c4-458f-a6c9-16777781ab36/514e03ee-171e-4ed2-9346-f7a475594533.jpg

The base folder is used only if all of your award images are kept in the same folder at your chosen host, which yours appears to be, but you have the wrong base folder.. The base folder is tha part of the URL that is common with all of your images, in your case, the red part in the URLs above..

So you have 2 choices here..

You can either replace the base folder with..

http://village.photos/images/user/54f4cc9c-91c4-458f-a6c9-16777781ab36/

and then list your awards using only the remaining part of the URLs...

0b6c6847-aea5-40e2-98b3-67eb49db99f1.png
00a8fb76-6e31-4342-ae7d-abc900315a14.png
514e03ee-171e-4ed2-9346-f7a475594533.jpg

Or simply remove the base folder, leaving it blank, and leave the awards URLs as is.

The second option is obviously the quickest and easiest, but if you are thinking of adding a lot of awards, and they are to be hosted at the same place as your current awards, it would probably be better to use the first option.

Please let us know if you have any further questions.

Did you get the Awards System working?

[freeb]

Are you sure you have enabled them? Check the 'enable' box?

If the plugins were not enabled, they wouldn't show up in the page source and Todge wouldn't have been able to see his settings to give him a solution.
