    Aloha from Hawaii!

    I’m working on a new site for a friend of a friend. they’re making a forum site and wanted to display icons of the end users choice (but limited to the one’s they put in) so i thought badges would be the best option… is there an easy way for the end users to select the badge they want or maybe a short code that can automatically take away any badges they already have and assign a new one on button click?

    The answer is not with my plugin, and writing code to do that would be extensive and costly.

    However bbpress uses avatars, and there are plugins that allow users to change theirs eg

    I’d suggest you take a look at that route and see if it works for you.

    i will look at coding this myself, i haven’t ever done much with php coding but i know several other programming languages so i’ll get started on learning this one i guess.. the user avatar plugin wont work for us because we want the people to have their own avatar’s as well as a badge…

    your badge plugin here seems to be the simplest way of getting that and now i’ll just work on making a way for users to select their own badge ?? don’t worry, once i figure it out, i’ll see about giving it to you. I think it’d be a great addition to have users able to select their own badge out of a group…

    hey great – I got into php through wanting to add something to a WordPress site, having learnt my coding in Fotran 4 (yes I’m that old!!) and the wonderful language Mumps.

    so yes hack away at my plugin and see what you come up with.

    Always happy to add any useful code to my humble coding ??

    I’ve programmed in several different languages over time, starting with Pascel when I was in highschool…

    I already have a proceedure thought up in my head so it shouldn’t be hard, i just need to get the coding figured out and structure for a plugin…

    All i need is to clear any current badges the user has then i put in a certain one based on input from the shortcode (prolly the badge id number).. I’ll give it to you for consideration once I get it together… This is a free project for a friend of a friend so i’m not putting much time into it, but i am enjoying the learning so no idea how long it’ll take ??
