First topic message reminder :

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.

♣ I voted no. Me and 6 other people. Oh yea.
♣ This is so useless that my eyes hurt. Wow, i got myself an icon... That doesnt even belong to me... My e-reputation got bigger... I am a real champ now... Common people. Seriously.

Congratulations on not providing constructive criticism, I voted yes; it seems we have two threads about this now, obviously it's a demanded feature.

Re: User Awards* · by EMO on March 16th 2009, 7:34 pm

I have voted yes.

But, i think, we can make it manually. By add a rank for reach that amount of post ?

Or yea, if its add on forum, with award, then its great. Like i have seen it in some popular forums.

And, i saw, they can use more awards for different winners in portal. And, Admin team are able to put different award picture, and winner's name with their posts or points.

Re: User Awards* · by Guest on March 16th 2009, 8:23 pm

Yes; what would it look like?

Re: User Awards* · by EMO on March 16th 2009, 8:48 pm

Still don't know, if dev team accept it and add this option to our forum, then we will see, how it is Razz

hehe

Wish to see more great options with forumotion \o/

100:7

I am surprised this hasn't been added already...

Re: User Awards* · by Xiroas on March 19th 2009, 9:05 am

Okay, 100:8, perhaps this should be added now? Smile

Re: User Awards* · by EMO on March 20th 2009, 1:19 am

lol still needs 8 positive votes Razz

And if techs allow, then well Smile

We need this really Smile

Re: User Awards* · by Mikeyc69 on March 22nd 2009, 11:47 pm

Def say yes... We have something similar in place at the moment... But we have to manually do everything, it would make things easier

Re: User Awards* · by notMicElf on June 8th 2009, 5:41 am

So that's basically like "badges" some Kids' Virtual Worlds have. they have it set so if you, oh lets just say, have been registered for a month, you get a abdge.

I LOVE the idea!
=>Yes

Re: User Awards* · by Olga on June 8th 2009, 5:51 am

I definatly agree. Replies keep on coming with yes, and it's yes's are just growing, yet the feature hasn't shown up, or been announced about.

Re: User Awards* · by Summer Law on June 8th 2009, 6:21 am

i voted yes but it should be simpler than a code othewise not everyone could have it Very Happy

Re: User Awards* · by Summer Law on July 25th 2009, 8:04 am

Bump for this great suggestion and for those who are too slack to search

I voted Yes Smile

Re: User Awards* · by Hikari on September 9th 2009, 7:32 am

I'd really love this. It would be great for things like graphics comps, donators and just overall silliness (e.g. cute award)

Re: User Awards* · by Goku93 on September 16th 2009, 11:14 am

i totally agree with this

voted yes

Re: User Awards* · by **SLGray** on September 19th 2014, 9:07 am

I have seen this on a board I am a member of, and I believe it would be great for Forumotion.

Re: User Awards* · by PA on February 9th 2015, 1:22 am

Thanks for reviving this SL Gray!
I have seen this on IPB, Jcink, Proboards, Phbb3 and many other forum hosts.

It should be done by now really.
Forumotion is great, the support is amazing, but new tech and functionalities come wayyy to late here.

Re: User Awards* · by Agent Ward on February 10th 2015, 7:31 am

I'd like this.

Re: User Awards* · by **SLGray** on December 14th 2015, 8:44 pm

Bumping to move this suggestion to the first page.

Re: User Awards* · by Vanityy on January 18th 2016, 6:17 am

Voted yes. Would be cool to have a message sent on visitor message for reaching a selected amount of posts by the admin with the NEW rank added similar to Vanilla forums.

Yes, lets gratify our users with little icons of no value!
