(PIN) Awards Management System
The (PIN) Awards Management System is, as the name suggests, an awards management system. It allows you, as the admin, to create and define awards categories and place awards within those categories. It gives you the power to decide who is able to view, give and take awards on a per category basis. You are also able to designate any number of groups as “Global Awards Mods”, these Global Awards Mods will be able to see, give and take awards from all of your categories. On the admin side you are able to restrict admins from accessing each of the main functions of the awards mod.

Two hooks ship with this mod, one to place the mod buttons in the profile for those who have the permissions to give and remove awards and the other is the awards cabinet that is shown in the topic view which has two options when enabled in the Awards Settings.

I'm planning on the initial stream being a free version and releasing a more "feature rich" paid stream later on. If/When a paid version is released the free version will continue to be maintained for IPB but no new features will be added to the free version once the paid version is released.

Public - Topic Display Hook:
The profile view hooks have been developed. We have the "Mini-Profile Display" option:


and the Sig Display option:

You can choose how many images will be the maximum allowed to be displayed in either view and the hook will pull only the latest x number of awards that have been given to each user.

Just doing some final testing before releasing RC5. Updates include:

• A much more robust implementation of the hooks for the topic view Awards Cabinet
• A Feature that will allow you to "resync" your awards in a given category should they have been knocked out of order in a previous version
• Fix of the base install to account for the non iterating through the upgrade SQL, so all new files installations should no longer be afflicted with bugs from past versions.
• Fix to the Give & Take award buttons in the profile view (the hook point was slightly wrong).
• Fix to some of the javascript to account for FURLs
• Other bug fixes that caused some DB errors

File Updated. I'm in the process of doing a bug fix report from version to version which when completed will be placed in the OP and in the install file.

File has been Updated with RC6.

Bug Fixes this release:

• Installer error fixed (g_award_mod was not being added in all installations)
• Additionally a logic error bug that incorrectly displayed 0 members being awarded if only one member had been given an award and the awarders user id was > 1 has been fixed

Works great for me! I modified it for my automotive website: http://racingsouthwe....php?app=awards

[optrex]

This is the first IPB mod I have isntalled. I had something similar for Vb and I must say this is tins better. Well thought out, well exectued and simple to install and configure. Awesome, thanks

[peaderfi]

Some rather annoying logic bugs have popped up and due to the closeness of my exams (and their importance) I can't afford the day of debugging they would need. So the release of the next version has been pushed back until mid december (when my exams finish and I have some free time).

In the interm the fix for the PHPStrict Error is the following:

• Open the hook file pinAwardsProProfileSkinOverload and find
  

  function profileModern($tabs, $member, $comments, $friends, $visitors, $default_tab, $default_tab_content, $fields)

• Replace with
  

  function profileModern($tabs=array(), $member=array(), $comments="", $friends=array(), $visitors=array(), $default_tab='posts', $default_tab_content='', $fields=null)

For those who have been having problems with hooks conflicting between applications a fix for the issue has been released by IPB: http://community.inv...html?record=305

(PIN) Awards Management System RC8 has been released.

Bug Fixes include:

• Fix to hook template which was causing the php error log to be filled with notifications of a improperly overloaded function.
• Upon deletion of a member from your forums any awards they held are now removed from the database
• Fix to prevent the creation of awards without an Awards Category having been created first.
• Fix to the javascript and AJAX functions so that javascript errors should no longer appear.

Updated to RC 9.

Changes from RC 8 -> RC 9:

Template fix to ensure proper display in all browsers

I have everything working well except one, he does not want to withdraw under the profile medals as you have on screen. When choosing Below mini profile view then just all of you missing. And if you put it back in the middle of working under topics. What is the problem?

That is likely due to a bug that exists in 3.1 and 3.0.5. It has been reported as fixed in 3.1.1 so that issue should no longer occur.

I get an error when I try to award a user.

IPB 3.1.0

Found 1.0.1. Sorry!

Now worries.

As an aside I'm scaling back support for this mod to just the IPS company forums and my own forums. This is mainly so that I can in some ways centralise all support for my apps in one place.
