(PIN) Awards Management System
The (PIN) Awards Management System is, as the name suggests, an awards management system. It allows you, as the admin, to create and define awards categories and place awards within those categories. It gives you the power to decide who is able to view, give and take awards on a per category basis. You are also able to designate any number of groups as “Global Awards Mods”, these Global Awards Mods will be able to see, give and take awards from all of your categories. On the admin side you are able to restrict admins from accessing each of the main functions of the awards mod.

Two hooks ship with this mod, one to place the mod buttons in the profile for those who have the permissions to give and remove awards and the other is the awards cabinet that is shown in the topic view which has two options when enabled in the Awards Settings.

I'm planning on the initial stream being a free version and releasing a more "feature rich" paid stream later on. If/When a paid version is released the free version will continue to be maintained for IPB but no new features will be added to the free version once the paid version is released.

The profile view hooks have been developed. We have the "Mini-Profile Display" option:


and the Sig Display option:


You can choose how many images will be the maximum allowed to be displayed in either view and the hook will pull only the latest x number of awards that have been given to each user.

I didn't see an instructions file in this, is there one available? Is anyone else experiencing the drive error when making a group into awards mods?

[Makaaveli]

Errors

1. It doesn't show the actual award in profile view -


2. It doesn't show the actual award in topic view -


Bugs

3. The button word doesn't display a word


4. It says the word twice (award award, de-award deaward) look at pic 1.

If you want i can give you my board url/username/pw so you can check it. I SO BADLY need this mod to work, it's going to be used ALOT, but problems number 1 and 2 do not allow me to use it properly. The bugs aren't that bad, it's just the awards not displaying which is the main problem. Please could you fix this problem asap. Thanks!

I would believe this mod requires some template edits, since the instructions seem to be missing, we will have to wait for the mod author to return

I believe that I know what the problem is here, I think forgot to add the alter query too add the database field for the group setting. I'll repackage the mod as soon as I get home (in college with no scp access).

It either looks like some of the templates haven't imported properly or they weren't cached when the app was installed. I need to check the xml file to ensure that they do exist. The reason that the text is showing up twice is because the mod isn't detecting that the images have been uploaded to your site. I'll double check that the images were included in the release.

In the mean time try recaching your skins.

That is most likely related to the same issue above.

3. The button word doesn't display a word

I need to double check that I didn't export the wrong language file when building the app as that would be the reason for the text not appearing only there while the rest of it does appear.

4. It says the word twice (award award, de-award deaward) look at pic 1.

This was addressed in point 1. It due to the images not being detected.

Have you granted awards to the person you are trying to deaward?

Let me double check the packages first as I have no FTP access at the moment.

The mod doesn't require any template edits, it ships with two hooks and a set of templates that should import on install. It only needs to be uploaded and then installed in the ACP. The hooks take care of the

[peaderfi]

Ok on the button image problem I've discovered what went wrong there. in the public folder there is a folder called "master" this should have been located under style_images. So the images should appear once you move the "master" folder into the "style_images" folder

[peaderfi]

for anyone who has template issues the following templates should be located within the skin_awards template group of your skin:

Awards
AwardsCat
awardsGiveTakeForm
AwardsList
AwardsListAlt
BoxAward
MiniProBox
NoAwards
popupReasons
ReasonsAwardMembers
ReasonsAwardMembersAlt
SigBox
SingleAward
SingleAwardMembers
SingleAwardMembersAlt
tabAwards
tabAwardsCat
tabAwardsList
tabAwardsListAlt
tabNoAwards

If any of them are missing please post here. Additionally check that the hooks were imported by going to Applications & Hooks > Manage Hooks in your ACP. There should be two hooks that were imported:

(PIN) Awards Pro - Topic View Template Skin Overloader
(PIN) Awards Pro - Profile Modern Skin Overloader

[peaderfi]

The topic view problem I have discovered as well. I forgot to export the hook that deals with the topic view. It will be packaged with the next release.

That is likely a logic bug, I'll need to look into the logic behind that section.

[Depotoir dot ca]

Can we have a quick fix for the topic view problem?

The awards aren't showing!

[peaderfi]

I just double checked to make sure and the topic view tempate hook was included in the release, it was a different hook that was left out. Can you check and see which hooks have been installed on your board?

[Depotoir dot ca]

These two :

(PIN) Awards Pro - Profile Modern Skin Overloader
(PIN) Awards Pro - Topic View Template Skin Overloader

If all of them exist try recaching your skin and it should fix it. Specifically SigBox, BoxAward and MiniProBox are the ones you are looking for.

This is looking great. I especially love the sig display option. Great mod!

[Depotoir dot ca]

Still not working.

Any way you can take an intern look at my board? I'm willing to donate if you sort this out.

[Depotoir dot ca]

Sometimes, when I want to take a look at the 'last clic active users list'

I got this error :

Fatal error: Class 'publicSessions__awards' not found in /home/depotoir/depotoir.ca/admin/applications/members/modules_public/online/online.php on line 262

Yes I'll take a look at your board and see what the problem is. PM me login & ftp details and I'll see where and why the errors are popping up.

I haven't added anything to the sessions section of IPB, but I'll look into it.
