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

Nicolas

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.

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 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

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

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, v4 waiting

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

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

Nicolas

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

@Nicolas I like it!

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.
