MOD Updated 26th August 2009 - 08:00pm. (Thanks to Spydie for pointing out some HTTP_VARS).

Your welcome

Moved to customisation forum

hi,
have installed the MOD medals and has gone all ok,
but I have one questions to ask.

I would want to only visualize the medals under to the member profile ( that I want to eliminate evidenced it )

Thk.

Sorry for my English

If you re-read the instructions AGAIN! it says:

#
#-----[ OPEN ]-----[ NOTE ]->->->- This adds the medals to the User Block!
# USE the second entry for viewtopic_body.tpl to add medals above the PostBits. DON'T USE BOTH!!
#

Oops!
The girls sometimes distract!

All resolving.

Thk

So do my grandchildren!

Hi
This is a feature request.

REQUEST NO1:
Situation:
A member of the forum has two (or more) usernames. He has won medals on both usernames.

Feature request:
Bridge between two (or more) usernames in order to show in viewtopic the medals of the username that made the post, and his other usernames's medals too.


REQUEST NO2:
Situation:
A team (group) has won a medal.

Feature request:
The ability to assign medal to groups. (in medals.php to be displayed, as the winner, the group name)
In viewtopic.php to be displayed the medals won by the user, as a member of a group (team), distinctly of the single username medals.

REQUEST NO3:
Situation:
Now, we have hundreds of users that were awarded with medals.
Feature request:
A page that automatically shows a top of the awarded users, by number of medals received.

At this moment I only have a simple, ugly page that I manually made for it, but I show you for example of what I have in mind.

http://doizecisti.ro/hall_of_fame.php

What you have in mind and what you request would take a whole lot of programming. And while the Medal Mod is free and wysiwyg, if you wish to have those changes implemented then you had better be prepared to pay somewhere around $US300 for it.

Other than that, you could spend a whole lot of your time trying to do it yourself.

Let me point something out:

These type of requests fall on deaf ears when one assumes that other people have nothing better to do than to cater for the whims of what every user would like for free. If the original code is free and one wants it to be expanded - then one should be prepared to pay for it.

And I'm sure that MG would be prepared to negotiate a price with you, for him to make all the modifications that you suggest to the existing code.

Edit:

It also appears that you are running a commercial website that generates revenue - So please spare us the "What I want or would like to see" and expect other people to put in the HARD work and do it for free!

Well, I didn't expected to be made freely, but it worth trying.

However, with $ 300 I can buy a license of an entire site, with all the features I need. I do not want to ridiculise the programmer's work, I am putting in his shoes and I would not do the job much cheaper. I know it's a lot of work. But after all, I am not a programmer, I am just a consumer or a potential customer (with not that much money to spend, as long as I don't gain anything from my forum:)

(still, the third request seems easier, and it would be usefull for forums that use this mode, and would bring added value to the medal system mod - perhaps that might represent a kind of compensation for the author)

My Regards,
Structor

I think that is a misunderstanding, the site that use IP is www.doizecisti.ro, and does not generate any profit - au contraire.
The site in the signature is the site of the company I run and yes, the company generates profits because this is my profession, construction design and structural engineering. The site has nothing to do with IP, is developed in PHP-Fusion wich by the way has the license bought with 30 English pounds + 10 euros for the theme/template)

Anyway...
Best regards to you Lopalong, and thank you again for the mod.

Whatever your issues are, you don't have to yell at other members or talk down to them.

Thanks for not retaliating, Structor.

I had installed with no trouble but my problem is in the admin control panel i click Allow Medal Display and yes then submit and it goes back to no. Same thing happens picking medals and categories. Is it something i didnt activate?

thx kevin

this seems to be a problem with the vars.

when did you download that package ?

i'll bother again

after install this mod, when i try to see the medals in the acp section and any other link i get this

Cannot query medal categories list

DEBUG MODE

SQL Error : 1146 Table 'gamerszone.medal_cat_table' doesn't exist

SELECT cat_id, cat_title, cat_order FROM MEDAL_CAT_TABLE ORDER BY cat_order

Line : 64
File : medals.php

But i have run the sql queries, and i have confirmed this table is there...

the prefix have been changed from "ip_" to my own prefix...
all new tables are there
all the sql queries where completed sucefully
and all files where edited correctly...

where may be my error?

EDIT:

By the way i have the same issue than isuris...

Hi check you have added the edits to constants.php

oops, now the debug alert goes away, but, i have yet the same problem that isuris...

if i try to change the configuration the new configuration doesn't apply... and i cant create categories or medals...

what we could do?

and thanks for your response =)

The problem is in the post and get vars.

You´ve got to open all files of the package and Replace all

$HTTP_POST_VARS with $_POST

$HTTP_GET_VARS with $_GET


that will fix your problem.

BTW i don´t know why this issue turned up again , since we had that then the MOD came out

Spare us the bullshit will you please. And keep these type of comments in support of the children who visit here, and not the adults.

I don't know why you had this problem because all MOD downloads (Including the Medal Mod) had been upgraded to php v.5 and made available to DrWho, unless you downloaded it prior to the upgrade. ?

Keep your cool Lopalong, your latest reply are a bit aggressive =/
They aren't questioning your work at all or something else, he's just asking for support

So keep your calm everyone ^^ It would be stupid, sad, and useless to become aggressive for such little things =)

Topic locked.

I don't tolerate flaming.
