Emoji awards plugin is here

[andrzejkupczyk]

Hi there, just released a new plugin that allows users to quickly give and receive feedback using emojis

Emojis can be awarded on comments (known as bugnotes or activities), but more "awardable" objects will be supported in the near future

Do you want to try it out? https://github.com/andrzejkupczyk/mantisbt-awards

This is cool! Consider me as giving you a thumbs_up emoji reaction ^.^

If you plan to develop it further in future, here are some suggestions. They are low priority, but would be neat to have:

- The emoji bar uses up a lot of space when at zero reacts. Consider having all 0 count emojis in a dropdown, and hide the bar if not in use. See github for a good example of how they do it.
- Being able to set non-emoji reacts (like a URL to an image file instead of a standardized emoji and a caption) would be neat.
- Agree it would be neat to be able to react to issues as well

Good stuff

Thanks for the very constructive and motivating feedback <3

Brilliant! I just need to find the perfect location for such a dropdown. The MantisBT plugin system gives limited possibilities

Being able to set non-emoji reacts (like a URL to an image file instead of a standardized emoji and a caption) would be neat.

The plugin configuration page is already in the "design phase". It will add many customization options in the future. Custom awards are definitely one of them

Thank you once again!
