User Awards*

2007

during my many internet travels, i stumbled across this mod that seemed pretty fantastic...

anyways, her iit is, i found it on phpBB.com

Code:: ############################################################## ## MOD Title: Award Icons ## MOD Author: Joe Belmaati < belmaati@gmail.com > (Joe Belmaati) N/A ## MOD Description: The general idea is that Admin can assign icons ## to each user based on achievements. For instance in a college ## fraternity forum, a user could be awarded three beer mugs, ## and one pair of cheerleader panties (symbolized by the small icons). ## Or, for a rap fan site, users could be awarded two mics, ## a Hummer, and a Roleo. Other obvious uses include sites with ## RPG's. For instance, for a Lord 'O' The Rings fan site, ## users could be awarded an Ork, two Urukhais, and a Balrog. ## The list goes on. You get an assignment system in the ACP ## where you can add icons and assign them to users. ## ## There is a categories system that allow the admin ## to restrict icons to certain users. This system includes ## restricting categories of icons to certain groups (1 group per ## category). The moderator from that group will then be able to ## assign icons from that category to members of his/her group. ## You can also allow certain trusted members to be Award Icons ## moderators. These people will then be able to assign Award Icons ## to everyone (except Admin) - unless the particular icon is in a ## category reserved for the Admin only. ## ## Step 1: Upload icons to the images/user_icons directory ## (you can also create sub directories ## for instance images/user_icons/monkeys/, ## images/user_icons/apes/ etc etc. ## Step 2: Go to the ACP module named Add Award Icons. ## Add the filenames to your newly uploaded icons, ## add icon names and icon descriptions. ## Step 3: Go to the ACP module named Assign Award Icons. ## Find the user that should receive icons, ## and add the filename to the icon. After succesful ## assignment of icon you can browse to that ## user again in the same module to make sure ## that the correct icon was assigned. ## Step 4: You're done! ## ## Optional: If you want to auto install the bundled in icons ## you will have an option to do so if you upload and run ## db_update.php to your phpBB root folder. This file will also ## handle the database changes necessary to accomodate this MOD. ## There are also separate install scripts for each icon batch ## in the docs folder. ## ## MOD Version: BETA 0.1.11 ## ## Installation Level: Intermediate ## Installation Time: 15 Minutes ## Files To Edit: (9) ## memberlist.php, ## profile.php ## viewtopic.php, ## admin/admin_db_utilities.php, ## includes/constants.php, ## includes/usercp_viewprofile.php, ## templates/subSilver/memberlist_body.tpl, ## templates/subSilver/profile_view_body.tpl, ## templates/subSilver/viewtopic_body.tpl, ## Included Files: (Many) ## db_update.php, ## install_icons.php, ## awardicons.php, ## awardicons_assign.php, ## admin/admin_awardicons_add.php, ## admin/admin_awardicons_assign.php, ## admin/admin_awardicons_cats.php, ## admin/admin_awardicons_filebrowser.php, ## admin/admin_awardicons_log.php, ## images/*.*, ## includes/functions_awardicons.php, ## language/lang_english/lang_awardicons.php, ## language/lang_english/lang_awardicons_admin.php, ## templates/subSilver/awardicons_body.tpl, ## templates/subSilver/awardicons_assign_body.tpl, ## templates/subSilver/awardicons_select_body.tpl, ## templates/subSilver/awardicons_show_body.tpl, ## templates/subSilver/admin/awardicons_assign_body.tpl, ## templates/subSilver/admin/awardicons_edit_body.tpl, ## templates/subSilver/admin/awardicons_edit_cats_body.tpl, ## templates/subSilver/admin/awardicons_filebrowser.tpl, ## templates/subSilver/admin/awardicons_list_body.tpl, ## templates/subSilver/admin/awardicons_list_cats_body.tpl, ## templates/subSilver/admin/awardicons_log_body.tpl, ## templates/subSilver/admin/awardicons_select_body.tpl, ## templates/subSilver/admin/awardicons_show_body.tpl, ## ## License: http://opensource.org/licenses/gpl-license.php GNU Public License v2 ############################################################## ## For security purposes, please check: http://www.phpbb.com/mods/ ## for the latest version of this MOD.

hey yo

is it like a rank?!

didn't get the idea :S

2 punkfilter, on 07/06/2007 at 12h01

no, its not a rank, its like a prize thing

like, say you reach 10,000 posts or something, you can get an award for that.

or if a bunch of other users nominated you, you could get the forums coolest user or whatever you want

3 Featherlord, on 07/06/2007 at 17h28

Yeah definitely yes, but I think it should be visible in the profile as text (title of the rank) as well.

4 GeoX, on 07/06/2007 at 17h50

a price like what?! Very Happy

:D...liek some words about the member?!..mm.. i think that the rank saying "BEST POSTER" with a cool image will be quite enougn though...or whatever u want..anyway i wont choose neither yes nor No to not unbalance your votes Smile

have fun!

thats how they usually are, they would most likely go next to your zodiac sign and gender sign

I cannot find the user awards

7 Caihlem, on 13/08/2007 at 20h53

It's still a suggestion, hasn't yet been accepted/refused by the techies and eventually added Wink

8 Nessa, on 14/08/2007 at 06h34

9 netW, on 21/08/2007 at 04h19

10 Luky, on 21/08/2007 at 12h22

I agree.This could be an interesting mod

11 punkfilter, on 22/09/2007 at 16h36

sorry, reviving an old topic

12 Guest, on 22/09/2007 at 16h42

I agree!

13 CBP, on 22/09/2007 at 17h13

Even though I believe it is pointless considering we're able to do this by hand(there can't be that many users who can win awards), or post it in the forums some way, like signatures or an HTML page, I'll vote yes for the hell of it.

14 TheMizukage, on 22/09/2007 at 20h20

15 AussieJay, on 18/10/2007 at 14h51

18 Caihlem, on 21/10/2007 at 12h08

AussiJay:
