Question Kunena and jAwards Integration

Greetings all - I am posting in the general talk forum because I have searched these forums, and Googled many other sites, although I have thus far been unsuccessful in my quest for an answer to my question. I have found posts or sites that suggest that jAwards will integrate with Kunena with a hack; however, I cannot confirm that is with the latest versions.

My environment is Joomla 1.5.23, Kunena 1.6.4 and jAwards 1.1. I would appreciate an answer to he question: has anyone successfully integrated jAwards 1.1 into Kunena 1.6.4? If so, I would appreciate a reply with how, or a link to where this is detailed. Thanks in advance!

Hello,

I never heard something about jawards integration into Kunena, but the jawards components hasn't been updated since a bit more than an year, so...

Thank you for the reply, xillibit. I understand what you mean about the last update for jAwards being very old; however, after reading this thread: www.kunena.org/forum/9-extensions-module...ds?limit=10&start=20 it made me wonder.

humm, i dont think so...

Yes it does work. I have tested it on my website blackpanthergaming.com using Kunena 1.6.4 and the latest version of Jawards. The coding I have used will show 10 medals probaby about 5 per line, depending on the width of the profile info. This is of course editable.
Put it in /components/com_kunena/template/default/view/profile.vertical.php on line 81 after:
<?php echo $this->profile->profileIcon('email'); ?>
</li>

also works with Kunena 1.6.5

The next year with the drop of Joomla! 1.5 , jawards will fall in the dark side, i think it's interesting to support it in kunena

Great news, this mod works on Joomla 1.7 too

I wanted to let you know, that this fix works well for Kunena 1.7 (never any conflicting issues since using this hack). One thing though, is sometimes users receive 2 awards (i.e. voted funniest post of the year and plus a Donar award). The problem is the awards are placed beside each other (horizonatally). Because these awards are 200px wide each, it takes up too much horizontal space. How can I have the awards placed vertically instead of horizontally beside each other with this code?

Perhaps a non-space break or something? Any idea on how or where to place a non space break in this code (or any way to place them on a new line, instead of side-by side). Basically I just need to display multiple awards vertically instead of horizontally under their avatars.. Anyone know how to do this in the code:

// Hack for jAwards integration, displays some medals of the user for Kunena 1.6
$number_medals = 10; // number of medals to show
$query = "SELECT b.image, b.name"
. "\n FROM #__jawards_awards AS a"
. "\n LEFT JOIN #__jawards_medals AS b ON b.id = a.award"
. "\n WHERE a.userid=". $this->profile->userid
. "\n ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT ".$number_medals;

$database = &JFactory::getDbo();
$database->setQuery( $query );
$medals = $database->loadObjectList();

// URL links to the jAwards-Tab for Community Builder which displays all
// medals of the user - change to another URL of needed
$awards_url=JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&user='.$this->profile->userid."&tab=getawardstab");

// CSS-class "ja_medals" allows individual styling of medal images and
// container. "nobr" keeps the medals from breaking apart, display them
// in one row.
$msg_jawards = "<div class=\"ja_medals\"><nobr>";
foreach ($medals as $med){
$msg_jawards.= "<a href=\"$awards_url\" title=\"$med->name\">"
. "<img style='border:0px;padding:0px;' src=\"".KUNENA_JLIVEURL."/images/medals/".$med->image ."\" alt=\"".$med->name."\" />"
. "</a>";
}

$msg_jawards.="</nobr></div>";
unset($medals);
echo $msg_jawards;

?>
<?php endif ?>
