So, here are all changes we have in our Award System (including the award_request_in_modcp as suggested by the author) - if someone find them useful.

@squidsk: If this is not permitted, attachment will be removed. You can use it for further updates, since you planned already some functionality of it

@CAG CheechDogg: Sorry, mass-manage of awards is not included, since we dont have this
Its up to master squidsk to implement it.

/* edit
The plugin_code_change as in https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost....postcount=1793 has to be done too, to make the file visible in ModeratorCP.

Is there a way I can allow a mod to assign awards?

[alcazarx]

You need to enable that function in the Award settings.

[Kaminah]

Any chance we can exclude ranks from awards? like guests on automation?

[squidsk]

I'm not following what your asking for could you please explain in more detail.

[CAG CheechDogg]

He means usergroups my Man ...

[alcazarx]

<-- also thought, he meant how to hide Awards System to certain groups.

@Kaminah: Either wait for the next update, Master squidsk is planning to add that or use our modifications for this permission.

Hello @squidsk

First I like to thank you for this great plugin, this is Fantastic!

I have request if you could add this option to plugin, it would be great.

when we are giving Awards to member, and we do it again is it possible to have option to stack that award instead of showing that same award 2 times? like this :

This

To be like this :

Does anyone know if the 'award automation' is working properly for additional usergroups? For some reason, the automation is refusing to give awards to additional, while it works on primary usergroups.

This would be a major rewrite of the code and isn't likely to happen for awhile, though I would like to make that change at some point.

It should be working. What version of the automation mod are you running?
