Yeah I've noticed that; I'm going to have to make the mod no longer add that table

Hi!!!

@ Jessica, it's possible add medal for "x" user post number (example 1000 post -> Medal 1) and/or add medal for "2 years register user"

Working in Spanish translation.

Cool. This would be a great way to motivate members / users to interact more on the site. Rewarding, and earning medals for their participation allows them to show off what they're worth on a particular forum, increase their reputation, and earning their respects.

This is a one add on I think I will implement onto my website.

Thanks for the great MOD Jessica.

I can't wait for the table fix. This mod really sounds great and would work perfectly on my forum game.

I'm just wondering if you could help me with something.
There's a mod called UPS Easy Shop where you could have a shop and even code your own items.
Items are bought with points (I use Ultimate Points Mod).
There are items in there that will give you a chance to earn more points.
The line that sends the user the reward point goes like this:

Code: Select all

		$shop->cash->deposit_user(100.00);

My question is, how do I make it so that instead of earning points, they instead receive a specific medal?
I'm not so good with PHP and SQL. >.< I hope you don't mind assisting me.

I'm REALLY excited about this mod. I have a few questions, though. Please excuse the noob-ness, this is my first run at having a phpbb forum.

First, is this mod limited to any themes or will it work on any of them?

Second, how do you guys test it to make sure everything works without putting it right on your live site?

Thanks in advance for any help!

EDIT: I set up a test section to play with mods, so I have that taken care of. I still would like to know about the theme question, but I started installing the mod and I don't have an msm_install folder?

I'm going to just create one, but I'm concerned that isn't the fix...

EDIT AFTER THE PREVIOUS EDIT: So I feel like I'm having a conversation with myself... haha

I installed this mod on my test section of the site. I didn't see where I could point this to a different database in the setup, so I'm afraid I'm working off of my main one.

That being said, I think it is set up correctly because I have a .MOD tab in my Admin CP. I added a medal and that worked. My problem is that I'm not seeing an option anywhere to add the medal to a user's profile? If I could get that answered, I think I'm off and running...

Can anyone help? I installed the mod, I can create medals, but I have no where that I can award them to users...?

Go to /medals.php (the Medals page) and click Medals Award Panel

EDIT: Make sure you've applied the mod's template edits to your theme, since it only installs on prosilver and subsilver2

That's what I needed to know... theme specific. Thanks!

BluePhoenixGaming · Post by **BluePhoenixGaming** » Thu Jun 20, 2013 5:40 pm

Just to play with it, I switched to ProSilver and when I click on the 'Award Medals' link, it says I don't have permission to access and logs me out?

I can't send PM's until AFTER this post so...

Jessica, or anyone else, can you help with why this would kick me when I try to award medals?

Jessica · Post by **Jessica** » Mon Jun 24, 2013 11:22 pm

Sorry, been busy lately, with homework for my online classes and such.

I'm not sure why it's kicking you out (might be your cookies? don't think it's related to the mod, not sure). Check the mod permissions to make sure you can award medals.

BluePhoenixGaming · Post by **BluePhoenixGaming** » Tue Jun 25, 2013 1:04 pm

So I found that it had my permission to award medals as 'no'. Changed that and it still wouldn't let me go into the "Medals Award Panel". Still says I do not have the permissions and logs me out.

That being said, I CAN award the medal in an individual user's profile. So I DO have it working. Thanks for the follow up and let me know if there is something I need to change to access the main panel.

Thanks again!!!

Helllo Guys
i've installed this MOD on a 3.011 board and it works like a charm. Despite its many cool functions, i miss a couple things and was wondering if anybody has added hacks for:
- points for uploading a user avatar
- points for a "like" on Facebook, "follow" on twitter

Additionally i am looking for a solution to display the users ranking image based on the points ranking rather than the post ranking.

I would be a donor if somebody can come up with this.

Hello, At first I was getting SQL errors telling me it could not find tables. I renamed the tables in phpmyadmin that the install created to what it was looking for and that seemed to fix the issues. I am now able to create awards and such. However I am having an issue assigning the medals to users. Whenever I go to the medals.php page I am logged out. And idea how I can fix this issue?

Thanks for your hard work on this mod and I can't wait to get it up and running.
