Simple Awards System

[meehan09]

Hi, Would this need to be added to the install file?

And would you be able to edit it for me and i will replace dbname with dbname.

when i run its saying no database selected and is failing to run

If you would edit the file and reupload that would help out alot, thanks

Paul

This award system needs a centralized panel in the admin section to give awards from.

[Gewoon Max]

It doesn't work with my forum-language at Dutch...
He just don't show "Awards" in profiles...

[Windy]

I don't believe there is a Dutch translation available.

@ Gewoon Max:
You should ask: "How can i add this mod to another theme, which is using an other language file"

[Gewoon Max]

Okay XD

"How can i add this mod to another theme, which is using an other language file"

[Windy]

Well, all the language strings for this mod are stored in Modifications.english.php

Then you just copy the lines related to my mod into equivalent file for what language your using, which I presume would be Modifications.dutch.php although I'm not quite sure.

I installed and everything tested successfully ( 1.1.10 ) But i don tsee anything anywhere. Nothing on admin backend and nothing in my profile or undermy name in posts??? Where do you access this and how do you make icones for the awards and choose them and stuff?

[ShadyGame]

I installed it manually

everything ok i guess

but i get this error when tryin to upload a award

Code Select Expand


Your award couldn't be saved. This might happen because it took too long to upload or the file is bigger than the server will allow.

Please consult your server administrator for more information.

i have upload a pic with the right size 16x16 i dont know what's the problem

iam using SMF 2.0 RC1.2

Errors like that usually indicate that it couldn't move the file from your hosts temporary folder where files get uploaded to, usually for the reasons mentioned in the error message.

Is this a constant error, have you tried submitting it more than once?
Do you have this issue when you try to upload attachments as well?

[Leelo]

how do i change the award's size ?

[ErnieB]

how do i change the award's size ?

Can this be done? Im looking for a different mod due to size limitation. If you can edit it to accept a larger size image that would be awesome. even if it was only like 30 X 30 or something

attachments they work i tried it 


yeah i tried many times

just let me know to which directory the awards get uploaded to ... maybe it dont have the right permissions

mod installed fine but when I went to a members profile to add a test image, I clicked on the Awards link and got this error:

The awards upload directory is not writable. Your award could not be saved.

Looked on the server and there is no awards directory even on there.

1. To add an award we do it via their profile right?
2. Was this mod supposed to create an awards directory on install?
3. What are the min/max image sizes that can be used with this mod?
4. In your description where it says "Features and Options Add-ons", it mentions that there is a place where we can adjust the image sizes. I looked under Features and Options and dont have anything relating to this mod. Is it somewhere else?

The award size is changeable under features and options for 1.1 and under modification settings for 2.0.

It's called the "awards" directory and should be in your forum root, although if it's permissions related then you should be getting the no writable error.

1. Yes, under the awards option
2. Normally it doesn't create the directory until you add your first award
3. Typically you can adjust the limit to what you like, or set 0 for no limit, generally I keep it small because they also show up under the user's post count on their posts
4. As I've mentioned above, if you're using 1.1 you should see it under "Maximum allowed characters in signatures"

I am using 2.0 1.2.

Well, if we add them via their profile, and it doesnt create the directory until I upload that first image, then the mod isnt working right because when I try and click on the awards link in their profile so I can upload an image, I get that error.

Any ideas?

Hmm, first I'd suggest going in through FTP seeing if the awards directory had been created in your forum's root directory or not, and if it hasn't then it probably means that it didn't have the permissions to create it, so you'll have to create it yourself and then chmod it so you are able to upload awards to it.

How do I use FTP? / What is FTP?
How do I chmod? / what is chmod?

[Kimmie]

k now I am confused...lol.. sorry. Initially you said that the directory doesnt get created until we go to a profile and upload an image, and now your saying it should have been created when the mod installed. Which one is it so I will now at which point the mod has issues?


Thanks

I'm not saying that at all, you will get that error if it couldn't create the directory or if it couldn't create the file.
