After the last update a new feature has appeared - "Awards", it allows users to give awards to each other.


How to use this module:

1. You can find Awards in Control Panel -> Admin Bar -> Tools -> Awards

2. If this is the first time you go to Awards, you must install the module. If you don’t need Awards any more, you can disable the module in Users -> Module settings -> Enable "Awards" feature – just remove a check mark and save the changes.

3. After you have opened the Awards section, you will see the full list of awards, divided into categories. There are basic settings near each award: Timeout, ID and groups that are allowed to give this award.

4. To create a new award click on "New award" in the top right corner. Select a category, specify URL of the award, its timeout and select the groups to be able to give it.

5. Now, if you want awards to be displayed in user profiles (if they are there), go to Customize Design -> "User personal page" and paste the following code into the necessary place:

Code
<?if($AWARDS_READ_URL$)?><div class="reputation">Awards: <a href="$AWARDS_READ_URL$" title="List of awards"><span class="repNums"><b>$AWARDS$</b></span></a> <?if($AWARDS_DO_URL$)?> <a href="$AWARDS_DO_URL$"><span style="font-size:8pt" title="Give award"><b>[ Give award ]</b></span></a><?endif?><?endif?>

If you want awards to be displayed under avatar, paste the same code into "Appearance of entries" template for forum.

6. To give an award a user must open another user’s profile and click [ Give award ] . Then select an award and add a comment.




CREATION OF AWARD TOP

If you want to create AWARD TOP, you need to do the following:

1. Go to "Informers" section (Control Panel -> Tools -> Informers). Click "Create informer", enter its name (any) and select AWARDS TOP section. Click "Create".

2. The informer has been created. Now paste the code (e.g. $MYINF_1$) into necessary templates.

3. Here is the result

Question: there is the possibility to evaluate posts on this forum (Good/bad post). How can I do the same on my forum?
Answer: Either restore the default “Appearance of entries” template or paste the following code into the necessary place of this template:

Code
<?if($AWARDS_DO_URL$ && $USER_LOGGED_IN$ && $CUR_USER_ID$!=$UID$)?><div style="float:right"><a href="javascript://" onclick="openLayerB('AwD',0,'/index/55-$UID$-28-forum-$FID$_$TID$_$ID$_16_$TIMESTAMP$','Give award',380,200,1); return false;"><img src="http://s10.ucoz.net/img/icon/thumbu.png" width="13" border="0" title="Good post"></a> <a href="javascript://" onclick="openLayerB('AwD',0,'/index/55-$UID$-47-forum-$FID$_$TID$_$ID$_16_$TIMESTAMP$','Give award',380,200,1); return false;"><img src="http://s10.ucoz.net/img/icon/thumbd.png" width="13" border="0" title="Bad post"></a></div><?endif?>

Coatham, I do not think this is possible. I tried to do this when I first used awards and found no way.

Hope this helps, happy

Hi Guys, I have a problem with the Awards feature. It doesn't appear in the Forum Entries page or even in the User Profile page of my website: http://www.misamisoccidental.org/forum/.

How can I fix it or make it appear?

Are Awards enabled at your website in Users -> Module settings?

Is there a way to automatically give awards based on what a user does? i.e commenting on a post, writing a blog, etc

Thanks

Stroud458, unfortunately it isn't possible to do this using the standard system. I also haven't seen any codes which would achieve this either so I'm sorry but I can't help any further than that. wink

Paradox, Thanks

Is there a website where I can get images for the awards. Like a database sort of thing?

Stroud458, any image can be resized in a program and used as an award so there isn't really one location you can use but thousands all over the internet. smile

A site I use quite frequently for images and icons though is http://iconfinder.com . It's helped me quite a lot when looking for images to use as awards, decoration etc. smile

carloscompu, by standard means it is not possible, might be possible via custom scripting.
