Badges
Badges are awards you can create and assign to users to recognize achievements, contributions, or membership status. They are displayed on a user's profile page and can optionally appear next to the user's name in forum posts.
Managing Badges
Badges are managed in the Admin Panel under Settings -> Badges.
When creating or editing a badge, you can configure the following fields:
- Name: The name of the badge.
- Description: An optional description explaining what the badge is for.
- Image: An image representing the badge. The recommended size is 64x64 pixels.
- Show on Forum: When enabled, the badge will be displayed next to the user's name on forum posts in addition to their profile page.
Assigning Badges
Badges can be assigned to users in two ways:
Manually
Open the user in the Admin Panel under Users, then use the "Manage Badges" option to add or remove badges from that user.
Via Automation
Badges can be assigned automatically using the Give Badge action in Automations. This allows you to award badges based on events, such as when a user creates their first topic or reaches a certain post count.
When a user receives a badge, they are notified automatically.
