Make sure you have permissions to award medals. That module relies on that permission.

The other thing you could do is open includes\acp\info\acp_medals.php
FIND

Code: Select all

'acl_a_manage_medals'
REPLACE WITH

Code: Select all

'acl_a_board'

When things blow over here, I will be trying to straighten out some of the methodologies used here. I took what was done before me and went with it. I didn't re-invent a lot of what was done. I think I want to redo some of it to make it nicer. Permission settings need a little thinking to see if I can make it a bit more simplified and perhaps flexible.

I am not sure the issue RoCk is facing is permission based... but, it's worth a shot to try, since I don't know at this point.

I had this thing installed for a long time and it just suddenly started working today. For some reason, the users are able to give themselves medals through the medals control panel although they're not administrators. Why is this happening?

I'm wondering if you have installed the modules properly. Can you show me a screen shot of your .mods tab?

You've installed medals management as a separate category. It is supposed to be inside the category "Medals Control Panel"

So....

You create the category "Medals Control Panel" as you have done.
Then you click on "Medals Control Panel" and once inside you add the Modules, "Configuration" and " Medals Management"

It should look like this.

Ignore the fact that it says Games instead of Medals. The layout is the same.

I love this system!
It works really well for a LOTRO Guild which relies on it's members content contribution.

That said, would it be possible for the mod to create a post in a certain forum with the details of a nomination each time someone is nominated?

I'd like to be able to Discuss nominations with other Guild Officers before approving them, and this would save a lot of time.

Something like,
Title: MrX has been nominated for XMedal by XNominator
Body:
MrX has been nominated by XNominator for the XMedal
(Image of Medal)

Details: This user is very good at X'ing so deserves this medal!
(Link to Nominations Control Panel)
Something along those lines.

:D

Evina: Double check your permission settings for who is allowed to award medals. It should not be possible for anyone to award themselves a medal unless they are given permission and then only through the medals.php page.

Largo84: I do want to do a little more with the nomination notifications. But, making them into a post, I think is more than I want to do. With that said, the function I am using to create the nomination description is the same "guts" of the create post function.

RoCk: Glad its working.
madmartyau: Thanks for helping him figure it out.

That's a shame. It's a little too advanced for me to do myself. I get the general jist of what has to be done, but I'm just starting with PHP and SQL and I've not done any SQL INSERTing yet, only SELECT. :lol:

necer_cheniki: A nomination is when someone says "I this person deserves this medal", then a medal moderator needs to approve the nomination before it is awarded.

Excellent mod.

Or so I am assuming...? I am guessing I must have dome something wrong somewhere...

I am unable to approve medals. I can delete and edit nominations, but under where it says APPROVE there is no icon and no way to click. Just NOTHING. It goes from DELETE to EDIT with a space in the middle.

How the heck do I fix this? :)
