Vanilla Badges :) Thanks Team

edited December 2011 in Vanilla 2.0 - 2.8

I just received mail that I have received a badge for contributing to vanilla community.
When was this feature launched. I always wondered that vanilla should employ game mechanics to attract more users. Thanks for implementing this.

Please deploy an addon soon for webmasters like us.

    I love the badges and would be willing to pay a one off cost for them, I just don't require the $49 monthly hosting... My site is too small. So, I'd be happy to donate a small amount of money to any development of an open source version.

  • We need this

  • Sweet, I actually started making a plugin like this, it didn't get very far. It was going to incorporate the pop-up messages and have like a place in your profile to show off all your badges. As I said it didn't get very far though, because of my lack of knowledge/experience with vanilla/garden and also because everytime I go to read documentation on making plugins I am really tired and don't take in anything.

    By the way, there is some bug. header of my profile says "0 badge" and "0 points" but on right hand side, I have 2 badges.

    By the way, there is another little "bug". My badges order (under the profile avatar) is strange: from left to right 2, 3 and 1. Even if I've earned then, obviously, in order.
    Maybe 'cause the #1 has no specified the number on it (in the name of the file ;) I mean...)?

    Great option, I can't wait to see it in the next release.

    I very liked the way it works: it doesn't start from zero but, accordingly to the posts written, assigns all the step-medals counting the user total posts.

    Hm, are these awarded retroactively?

    Ah, there they go, had to post.

    Yes, I mean that! :P
    Awesome addon.

    BTW: now I have 183 posts, guess if there is a medal at 200...

    184, now... ;)

    (I'm joking).

    Yeah, there's many bugs. We're working thru them, and will be tweaking the availability & requirements of badges quite a bit.

  • I like my 1 yr anniversary badge...
    Can you create an impersonating @Lincoln badge for when I posted as you?

    Ahahah...

    I want a forum-stalker badge! ;)

    BTW, in my community there is a provocative user who would appreciate a trophy for all the times that has been banned/his posts has been unliked... :|

    I've just received a "1 Like Badge" and so I put down some ideas (maybe you already had them, I know you're not playing scrabble all the day...) that hope you like.

    Now we have:

    • badge for 1, 10, 100, 500 and 1000 posts;

    • badge for 1, 10, 50, 100 and 250 likes;

    • badge for 1st, 2nd, 3rd... etc.. and 10th Anniversary.

    We could have:

    • a badge for user who reached a number of accepted answer in question threads (he is a user useful for the community);

    • a badge for a very interesting thread (thread with many replies);

    • a badge for long lasting thread (thread opened 5 years ago (for example) is being discussed even today);

    • a badge for inviting user (user when register to the forum, can specify choosing from a dropdown menu with the list of the registered users, the one who invited him to join).

    Hope this could help.

    Ciao!

    p.s.: Anniversary badges are not awarded retroactively? I'm missing mines... ;)
