This component manages medals and lets you hand them out as awards to your users, e.g. if they contribute a certain number of good articles, or display images in the Gallery.

You can create medals, hand them out to the users, and display them e.g. in Joomlaboard or Community Builder. For more information, Readme and Changelog see the project homepage at the Joomla-Forge!

The Frontend displays medals statistics and which users were awarded with which medal. Also, with the available Plugin for CB the medals each user has earned can be displayed in his profile.

The component is compatible to Joomla 1.5 in legacy mode. Currently supported languages are English, French and German - contributed language files are welcome!

Lot of space for improvement by devil_me, July 12, 2008

I think it would look good if the medals show up in the body content

The basic thing is served but just to check the awards of a user, one has to go to the profile or awards menu to view it. Instead it would be good if the medals show up wherever there is an activity from the awarded member. what say?

Very easy to set up. by wackybass08, April 11, 2008

This is perfect for my site! There are a couple of issues and questions:

1. The reason for the award does not show.
2. Date format change?
3. Award notifications in content? I have no idea how to have a news item to announce the awards.

Other than that it is a great little extension. I will be donating today.

Owner's reply:
You would need to enable "Show award reason" in the config, for them to show up.

Different formatting options for the date will be in the upcoming version of jAwards.

Well, I now have no way of logging into the administrator account and I have lost most of the work on my site that I have been working on. I have never used a component before that has completely screwed up Joomla but this one has done it. Make sure you back up your site before installing!!!

Owner's reply:
I can not reproduce that at all, and this is the first report I hear of that kind. There must be some other problems with your Joomla installation.

Very nice by helo, October 23, 2007

super easy to use and setup component that does most of what you want.

Needs a date format function though.

Worthy addition by mvines, April 12, 2007

Nice component. Would like to have the ability to format the date awarded and click/copy the medal description to the award reason. Good integration into CB. Thanks!

Owner's reply:
Check out the newest version! I just added date formatting options, and a default reason field to medals, which pre-fills the award reason.

A great little incentive for members... by HeatherC, January 16, 2007

I have a site where the members support each other in fitness goals and weight loss, and this is a fabulous little program to give them incentives.

Not only do they receive awards for pounds or inches lost, but the members vote other members as being inspirational and supportive, and they get awards for that.

It is a fast, easy program to master, and the ways the awards can be used is pretty much limitless.

If you have a site with a community, you will probably find at least ten different ways you can use this extension.

Does exactly what it's meant to by Harrison, September 12, 2006

I was after a component to award members based on competition results I run on my site and forum, and I have found jAwards to be perfect for this purpose. It's very easy to create new awards and to assign them to members and manage existing awards. The Community Builder integration is also a good feature, so that a member's awards can be seen in their profile.

jAwards has just been updated to work with register_globals off, so it will now work with the lastest version of Joomla with the recommended security settings in place.

Nice by iceflass, May 19, 2006

I like this component. Works well as far as I can see. Great work:)

Will be improved by Armin.Hornung, May 7, 2006

There will definately be a constant improvement, best place to suggest features is the Forge. Deletion of medals is possible in the next version.

Really great concept by sjean233, April 1, 2006

Only problem is that you can't delete medals. The DB integration has to be improved a little.

Owner's reply:
(See comment above - deletion has been fixed some time ago)
