Awards System 1.1.7

[color=rgb(40,40,40)][font=helvetica][size=3]The Awards 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.[/size][/font][/color]

[color=rgb(40,40,40)][font=helvetica][size=3]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.[/size][/font][/color]

[*]Awards are now saved on the server instead of by urls as was previously the case
[*]Admins can now choose a size for the awards images to be displayed as in the topic views (mini-profile & signature) - After changing this setting you must reupload the images for each of the awards so that the app can resize them (a tool to bulk resize all of the images without needing to reupload the images is planned for a future update).
