Resolved Ordering your badges

[TD]

Right now it seems like badge order automatically goes in acquisition order.

Is there any way to customize the order they appear?

Not a HUGE deal, just curious.

Can I supersize my order?

By many accounts, you may have already.

I think if you go into your badges and un-feature them by clicking on the megaphone beside them you can then re-feature them in the order you want...I think...by clicking the megaphone again.

Just tested this.

Doesn't seem to be the case.

Well poo. I'll look into this a bit.

All the feature does is make a singular badge display. As far as I've seen, the order is simply the order in which they were awarded.

You should be able to feature as many as you want, but I'm looking into the ordering things, it might not be possible to change the existing order

Stacking badges???

 

[Crystal]

We decided to keep it simple...no badge stacking, because...umm...reasons.

Stacking badges???

Hideous format. It was disabled while setting up the badge add-on within the first couple weeks we were open.

I only have one badge, no need to organize :taps head:

The best part is the one badge you have is for asking questions about them…

I assume the resolution means can't be done?

No biggie, just wanted to make sure.

Not without modifying the modification’s modifiers moderately.

So.... no?

 

[Mark]

Exactly. I went through to double check, and there’s no way to do that without creating a whole new badge “weight” system that’s user-definable, and that’s quite an undertaking for something like reordering the badges manually.

Well, the best thing I can compare it to is what used to be referred to as “forum weights” on vBulletin, nowadays it’s just referred to as display order, but its functionality is the same:




So, there you have the Community Related category, it’s listed as 1, so it appears at the top.

Then, below that, you have the Forum News forum, same deal…



So, essentially, we’d have to recreate that same system for the badges on the admin panel end, configure a permission set to control it so everyone can’t edit everyone else’s badges, configure a UI for the members to edit it from their profile, and then edit every area that profile data appears to include the modified badge order.

Granted, this is a gross oversimplification of what would need to be done, but it still seems like a hell of a lot of steps for what it would accomplish… unless I’m missing an easier method to it.
