Awards or Medal Mod?

[ayasha]

all the bookmarks i made at IM.com are gone, since we get sent here when we try to go there, so i will just begin a new post, and ask of the Awards and Medal mod which does everyone prefer?

i would like which ever is the simplest for rewarding members for reaching a certain post count, completing or doing certain activities on the forums, and whichever is easiest to design and create our own awards/medals for.

thanks in advance for any imput. o:

If you want a simple rewards mod that works and doesn't add any querys then use the Awards Icons mod.

If you want one that is over complicated, doesn't integrate correctly with PCP and adds a crap load of queries then use Medals Mod.

Of course this is just my opinion..

[ayasha]

do you have a link for that one MrDSL?

wow, i have several questions about this mod now.

first, it seems there are already 2 updates included in the zip file? or am i reading this wrong?

second, can you use larger graphics to give as awards?

how does this look when it is running on a live forum? i cannot find any screen shots or a demo of this.

i am looking for a mod that will allow the usage of graphics that are 150 x 150 or even a little larger.

well, i am trying to do the awards mod, but sometimes i just don't get what the install instructions say to do, usually because i cannot find the string of code they tell me to find. would anyone like to look at that for me?

this is just on the intall_pcp.txt. once i get that done, i have 2 updates to do for this mod, i think. <img>

Let me download and play with the mod...
Anywhere in particular you are having problems? Like which files and such...

[Dragonsys]

I can't download the file from work.. our firewall is blocking the site. I will get it after I get home today...

[ayasha]

if you want me to Dragonsys, i can do the mod again, and where i cannot find the code, let you know <img>

[Dragonsys]

if you want

[Dragonsys]

Well. I installed this mod, and I only had one slight problem... it took me a little bit to find the below code:

profilcp/def/def_usermaps.php
FIND:

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

          'user_posts' => array(             'ind'          => '11',             'dft'          => true,          ),          'user_rank_title' => array(             'txt'          => true,             'img'          => true,             'crlf'         => true,             'ind'          => '27',             'dft'          => true,          ),

It should be]                         'user_my_friend' => array(                                 'img'          => true,                             ),                         'user_rank_title' => array(                                 'img'          => true,                             ),[/code]


profilcp/def/def_userfields.php
FIND:

Line number On/Off | Expand/Contract | Select all

    // messangers informations

It should be]     // messengers informations[/code]

thanks Dragonsys

but i do want to know, is there 2 updates included in that zip? or should i just concern myself with just 1 of the install instructions?

[MrDSL]

Just follow the install_pcp.txt

[Dragonsys]

[ayasha]
