How configurable is the position of the ranks? I'd like to redo my usergroup/ranks as just awards, but I'm pretty adamant on how I want my postbit to appear and would want the awards to be in the same location. Doable with minor postbit editing?

You should try using the custom css option first before editing any templates (this is located within the rank options, enable by selecting custom then either edit the rank css template or post your modified css you fabricated from the default.css file included and paste within additional.css. That way you could adjust it to suit and perhaps avoid unnecessary template editing by using css alone .

Edit: Although for us at one point in time... we displayed ranks correction Awards on the userinfo right location and displayed our military rank just below the avatar and designed to compliment it as well - just a idea if your only showcasing one rank otherwise if a display box containing a few you may not desire such changes or that location specifically, it's up to you .

*facepalm*

Like "{vb:raw post.userranks}" ?

I'm getting some 'extra' info:

Fixed that by turning off adding template names as HTML comments.

However, requests don't seem to be working:

There's some error when sending your rank request. Please contact site's administrator for assistant.

Confirmed, will release a new version fixing requests/recommend asap although more than likely right after Monday (4th). Anyone else feel free to use the current version and simply restrict those two options in your usergroup settings until the new version is out .

Edit: Updated, reference here: http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showp...58&postcount=2

In fact you could rename the Awards mod into well.. anything and use it like a badge/ribbon/award/rank whatever mod, it is marked as re-usable code after all .

Are there any differences between this mod and the awards mod other than the wording?

When I installed the 4.1.4 database, then it fails, I try to install on localhost, it was like, you can explain ?

It looks like the installer did not add the rank table at your database.

It shouldn't make any difference at all about the versions, mod database install wise I mean.

After taking a quick look at the xml file I noticed a few things that need correction. For example, at the below install code you have forgotten to include the TABLE_PREFIX part which has been included everywhere else. Because if a user is using a custom prefix at his/her database then it won't work. It will work only if no prefix has been used at all.

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Also you are using the depricated font size all over the place. It would be better, coding wise to use <span style instead.

Also it would be better to use:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

instead of:

Block Disabled:      (Update License Status)
Suspended or Unlicensed Members Cannot View Code.

Other than that, great mod

I noticed the install code this morning along w/ a few other misc changes, I had not noticed the above ^ .

As far as revisions to code and corrections per Borbole's suggestion above and other misc changes and updates... yes, as far as functionality that would be none. So again, no need to use this unless you have a requirement to give out Awards and Ranks and the ranks should be used in a different manner other than "titles" per say as you already have a rank structure i.e. Administrator/Moderator/Member etc etc .

Updated to v4.1.4 on 7/2/2011

Notes:

• Removed some residual Awards references in snippets of the code.
• Updated two phrases.
• Tested and initial bug report of database error depends on settings from tests ran, please be sure to test on a site with more than one user and have the options set correctly in admincp.
• Tested and confirmed to work on vBulletin 4.1.4.

Can I change the text in this to saw "award" instead of "rank?"

If the coding is cleaner and has some fixes I would prefer to use this.

Well... it's not just a simple matter of find/replace as some would think there's many variations i.e.

Award = Rank
Awards = Ranks
award = rank
awards = ranks
aw = ra
au = ru
etc
etc
etc

So it might be easier for you to simply rename a few phrases, in that case most of it would show the wording "Award" or whatever you wish it to say... some areas in admincp may still say Ranks etc but a few changes to the phrases in the xml and you should have something working the only con to that is if you have Awards mod installed atm it might conflict and certainly won't upgrade from a previous Award mod version know what I mean? .

For the first image, it seems you have a fixed width or your browser was at a certain set size due to screen resolution but the point being once you install so many mods that add tabs your going to run out of room and it will drop the others on a new line. I also assume you have "My Ranks" from this modification and "Ranks" from another mod perhaps a DB Tech mod or something to do w/ ranks as well?

Second image, sure let me see what I can whip up, about to release a update here shortly and will include that information.

Third image I'm assuming is another mod conflicting.. what else do you have installed that interacts with your postbit?
