[nodebb-plugin-ns-awards] NS Awards, Give Medals!

[psychobunny]

@Nicolas I'm not sure if you were still planning on doing an update, but I've made this plugin work with 1.4.5: https://github.com/NicolasSiver/nodebb-plugin-ns-awards/pull/13

It still needs some work on the ACP side, and you'd probably want to check out one of the hotfixes I made before merging (see issue).

I think you should check out NodeBB's src/file.js instead of writing your own uploader though Thanks!

I had a feeling that it's not a good idea to do changes in the master
I have started to work on the next major update, so a lot of parts of the plugin is not implemented or unfinished. Anyway, thanks for the pull-request.

[MBFTOM]

I really like this plugin, is there any option to pre-set a 'rule' instead of having to manually assign?

E.g. When a user has 10 Upvotes they automatically get the medal, and so on.

@MBFTOM +1

@MBFTOM I understand what you are asking, but NS Awards plugin was designed with a goal to give special awards. I mean awards when you don't mind to do it not so often and you are eager to write a reason

I'm exploring an idea of external API for the plugin, so it will be possible to write another plugin which can collect a lot of data about users behaviors and grant awards. Since I think auto-behavior should be decoupled from Awards. What you are asking is an extra load on the forum to capture activity and store (more noise in your storage) a result of the capture.

I look forward to making the things which in the list. https://github.com/NicolasSiver/nodebb-plugin-ns-awards#todo

[Nicolas]

I'm going to eliminate all items from TODO list with v4 release. It will be big.

Waiting Impatiently!

For some reason any image I upload to use for an award doesn't show just shows a broken image icon. Using NodeBB 1.5.0

[yari]

yari, v4 waiting

[teh_g]

Is this working on 1.5.1? I want to make sure I don't blow anything up

[teh_g]

Also, is the only way to get awards on profiles to update the template?

[Nicolas]

Yes. But I'm exploring an idea with widgets.

[teh_g]

@Nicolas I like it!

[yari]

It was forgotten

Same here for me at 1.5.1.

Would it be possible to reward users automatically if they reach a number of posts, reputation points? Same as in stackoverflow like badges?

[Nicolas]

The current version of the plugin is not compatible with 1.5.x, because of the breaking changes.

Awards plugin is not designed to reward users for something - automatically. But with the future version, it will be possible to write a plugin which solves award auto-assignment.

[Nicolas]

@yari it is not forgotten It will be a major version with a lot of changes.

Sneak-peek to the Awards v4:

Here is a list of changes, which you can expect in the next major update
