Description
(PIN) Awards Management System
The (PIN) Awards Management System is, as the name suggests, an awards management system. It allows you, as the admin, to create and define awards categories and place awards within those categories. It gives you the power to decide who is able to view, give and take awards on a per category basis. You are also able to designate any number of groups as “Global Awards Mods”, these Global Awards Mods will be able to see, give and take awards from all of your categories. On the admin side you are able to restrict admins from accessing each of the main functions of the awards mod.
Two hooks ship with this mod, one to place the mod buttons in the profile for those who have the permissions to give and remove awards and the other is the awards cabinet that is shown in the topic view which has two options when enabled in the Awards Settings.
Step 1: Files to Delete
As some FTP Clients do not overwrite files (due to settings or whatever) I have outlined below the files that can be deleted when performing an upgrade. By deleting these files you ensure that the most up to date files will be present after you upload the new versions of the files. If however you know that your FTP client does overwrite existing files upon upload then you are free to skip this step.
| File/Folder on Server`to Delete |
| /admin/applications/members/sources/tabs/awards.conf.php |
| /admin/applications/members/sources/tabs/awards.php |
| /admin/applications_addon/other/awards/* |
| /public/js/awards.ajax.js |
| /public/js/awards.js |
Step 2: Files to Upload
In order to upgrade the App all of the files within the following folders should be uploaded to your server
| File/Contents of Folder in Download | File/Folder on Server | |
| /upload/admin/applications/ | → | /admin/applications/ |
| /upload/admin/applications_addon/ | → | /admin/applications_addon/ |
