Member Awards (2.0 Compatible!)

[TechnoDragon]

what do you mean you cant get the same image to work over and over?

You can upload the same image to the Member Awards as many times as you like!

If you are referring to give the same member the same award over and over...it was deliberately designed that way.  you could always just upload the same image as a new award to do it that way!

[sanax]

Yes, that is what I have to do right now...lol

I give out awards every week but with the same image. Like the 'Super Bowl'. I save and upload the same image - image1, image2, image3 etc.

I think it'll be nice to have the option to use one image as a default award and add others if you need them?

[TechnoDragon]

well, you don't need to rename it each time...the member awards automatically saves it with a random number to avoid overwriting it, and so far I have been using it rather frequently with numerous different awards.

[sanax]

huh? I tried it and if I assign the same image to someone else it overwrites the previous award given last week because I keep all the awards in a 'Hall of Fame' and the members store their awards in their profile. As I have it right now the members have a 'trophy room' which shows the same award but with different dates.

[TechnoDragon]

ok, i see what you are talking about...you meant you just change the image for the existing award

[sanax]

That's right. At the moment I have 2 awards which are given to different members weekly but the image stays the same and I can't do it without uploading the same image over again

I think that'll be a nice feature/option to have

[TechnoDragon]

LOL, possibly, but the whole idea behind the Member Award was to have numerous different awards for everything


Other wise  Ithink there were other mods that did closer to what you want

[sanax]

Nope, this mod takes the cake Dragon! lol

Well, I hope they won't give the teams a different 'Super Bowl' every year!! ... or change the Oscars award every time? Makes sense doesn't it?

I looked in my themes directory and I don't seem to have a display.php file and I'm running Powered by SMF 1.1.1

how can I do the mod to the file if I don't have it.

Thanks
PS Great Mod.

Ok in Display.php find

Code Select Expand


mysql_free_result($request);
$posters = array_unique($posters);


Add after
est this out so not sure if it's going to fully work.  It should work though.

[sanax]

Find it in the 'Source' directory

[TechnoDragon]

Nope, this mod takes the cake Dragon! lol

Well, I hope they won't give the teams a different 'Super Bowl' every year!! ... or change the Oscars award every time? Makes sense doesn't it?

True, but for the scope of this particular mod it was written specifically to work this way...someone paid to have it written for them, and then decided to share it with all of us.

Id made the previous suggestion of going into the database and manually changing the refering link to the same award.  Just upload a dummy image and then go into the database and point it to the one you want.  Then you can go in through your filemanager and remove the dummy image.  This might be your best hope right now.

[sanax]

Thanks, I appreciate sharing this mod! I'm working on it littleone... thanks!

Go into the awards_members table and run this query

Code Select Expand


ALTER TABLE smf_awards_members
DROP INDEX ID_AWARD_MEMBER


In ManageAwards.php

Code (find) Select Expand


// Inset the data
db_query("
INSERT IGNORE INTO {$db_prefix}awards_members
(ID_AWARD_MEMBER, ID_AWARD, ID_MEMBER, dateReceived)
VALUES " . substr($values, 0, -1), __FILE__, __LINE__);


Code (replace) Select Expand


// Inset the data
db_query("
INSERT INTO {$db_prefix}awards_members
(ID_AWARD_MEMBER, ID_AWARD, ID_MEMBER, dateReceived)
VALUES " . substr($values, 0, -1), __FILE__, __LINE__);

Are this changes for me to make, Jay?

[JayBachatero]

Oh yes.  Sorry that I was brief.  It's to remove the unique badge stuff.  Haven't tested it but it should work.

[sanax]

Ok.. I did the changes in the meantime but I'm not sure exactly what you had in mind although I tried to use one image for different members it didn't let me

Maybe you had another way to do it?

[JayBachatero]

Did you run the query?

[sanax]

Jay, ok I think I know how to do it now with the new changes... you just have to upload the same image again! Then it seems to work just fine! I'll test it a few times and let you know!

[sanax]

Thank you Jay! I don't have to save the images seperately anymore! A great help! Great MOD - thanks!
