Does this permit you to give more than one award, or can they only have one award at a time?

[Windy]

You can give out as many awards as you like.

Windy,

I got SA to install (after a few problems the first time I tried) and it seems to be there.  I can add awards as administrator, but even though I enabled regular users to be able to give awards, the menu never appears for them.  Is it hidden somewhere we're not finding?
As administrator login on any users' page (or when a user looks at his own profile page) the Awards link appears at bottom left of the "Ultimate Profiles" page.  But not when a normal user looks at another user's profile, then he can't find an awards link at all.

I tried disabling the Ultimate Profiles mod, but still could not find a link to give awards by a user.

Help?

-thanks

ed -- forgot to add, SMF 1.1.10
tried uninstalling and reinstalling, no change....
--
OK, now I think I understand.  It appears that to allow users to give each other awards, I also have to give them all permission to edit each others "additional profile settings". Which is NOT something I can ever imagine wanting to allow!

Is there no other way to allow normal users to give awards?  If not, I don't see this mod being of much use....

[Windy]

I don't believe anyone has actually used in this way, I checked it out and you are correct about the awards link, it won't show up unless that permission is set, however, the section itself should still be accessible.

If you can go into your theme's directory and open Profile.template.php, search for

Code Select Expand

<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=profile;u=', $context['member']['id'], ';sa=statPanel">', $txt['statPanel_show'], '.</a><br />
and then underneath that line add

Code Select Expand

<a href="', $scripturl, '?action=profile;u=', $context['member']['id'], ';sa=awards">Show the Awards this member has received.</a><br />
and then it'll show up under the additional information section on the user's profile summary.

I'll probably implement this properly the next time I release the next version of it.

Thanks Windy, I'll give it a try.

I wanted to let the members of my site give (or zap each other with) awards that were attributable to the presenter.

But not to change things (like personal profile info) that would look like the presentee had done them -- people can get touchy about that kind of thing.

Thanks for the very quick reply.

[bwaslo]

Well, that works with the normal profiles page, but unfortunately not with the Ultimate Profiles Mod (when a member has Ultimate Profile enabled, his awards link doesn't show...).

Ideally (in my - probably unusual-, case at least) the link for an award would appear next to each members' avatar by each of his posts.  Next to where Karma points are shown.  Is that possible to do easily?

Edit:  To make it work with Ultimate Profiles mod, edit the file

/ public_html / Themes / default / UltimateProfile.template.php   and use Windy's instruction there.  Works now!

Windy,

I have uploaded your mod with no issues in the package manager.

BUT unlike the screen shots I am unable to see the actual award given to a member in their forum posts.

Are you using a theme with a custom Display.template.php?
If so then you will have to apply the changes to the Display.template.php for that theme to be able to see them.

hmm, well I can't really think as to what it could be, did the test for display.template.php pass when you installed it?
is the code that was supposed to be there actually in there?

oh I guess it is the display.template.php, it stated that it failed the test, so what do I need to do?

You'll need to perform a manual installation for that part then. It shouldn't be too difficult, I would just recommend searching for "$txt[26]" and then above the echo for that then place the code that should have been placed in above that.  Just remember that if you uninstall the mod you will most likely need to remove that manually as well.

Without trying to get into detail, "$txt[26]", is a variable which holds a string value from one of smf's language files, in this particular instance the value of it is "Posts" and it's what you see whenever you view a topic and look at a users information on the left, echo is a function in php that outputs stuff to the user's browser. ie.

Code Select Expand

echo 'im outputting stuff to the browser';
if you go to the page for this mod, under download this mod you'll see the manual install instructions for smf and then you pick the version of smf you're using

Ok, I am looking at the display.template.php thinger in the readme for manual instructions

when it says "find (code)" and then "add before (code)" does that mean I have to add that code directly above it?

its an odd question i know but again..I know nothing xD

I'm not quite sure as to why you would get that error.   The easiest way would probably be to add a db select statement, if you're using mysql then it's just adding the following before any sql statements:

Code Select Expand

mysql_select_db('dbname');
Of course replace dbname with the name of the database in which smf is installed.
