Link Badges to URL

second this request

This is not possible.

Hello!

I had the same need of a URL associated to the badge image. So I made a little mod for personal use and decided to rewrite it well to make a patch (which come on attachment).

To apply the patch on UNIX-based systems just type on your command line:

$ mv user_badges.patch path/to/user_badges
$ cd path/to/user_badges
$ patch < user_badges.patch

to restore original files just type:

patch -R < user_badges.patch

On windows I don't have any idea how patches work, so Google it. After applying the patch you just have to run example.com/update.php and then you can assign internal or absolute URL to your badge images (example.com/admin/user/user_badges).

Please give some feedback and... Enjoy!

Nuno, User Badges needs a new maintainer. If you are interested, please see http://drupal.org/node/338042

Dear Drupalers,

As you may have noticed, Heine handed me the reins of this module so I'll do my best. However, for now I just intend to support and fix bugs and don't plan any extra features development (besides description URL).

I had a different version (customised for personal use) from the current ones in dev. I tried to merge those to versions, did some code improvements and added/modified some features. So I will now release the first "stable" versions (D5 & D6). Here is a list of what has been added/modified:

• stable versions D5 & D6
• support for badge description page URL (http://drupal.org/node/226427 and http://drupal.org/node/76697)
• new maintainer(s) (http://drupal.org/node/338042)
• full port and support for D6 (http://drupal.org/node/234780 and http://drupal.org/node/337154)
• functions/files documentation (partially) and code compliance (http://drupal.org/node/283153)
• READ ME file and project page updated
• .install file hook_update_N implementation
• support for a special badge for blocked users (http://drupal.org/node/297897)
• possibility to limit the display of badges by weight (http://drupal.org/node/298793) and/or by user status via global settings tab (under admin section)

I hope it will be useful for all of you. Thank you for your feedback! Don't forget there are some todo's like

• query optimisation (I am thinking on it)
• support for private file upload
• etc.

Enjoy!

a link behind a badge is a great idea and here is my question. Can you pass a variable into the URL? Here is what I would like to do. I'm creating a "Blogger" badge, every user with the role "blogger" will have that badge displayed on the forum BUT I want the badge to link to the user's blog. For example, if you are looking at a forum comment posted by user 55, I want the badge to link to user's 55 blog.

Is this easy to implement?

Thanks!

This is an interesting feature! An integration with Token module is certainly the best way to handle that.
For now what I can suggest is to link this badge to a page where you explain the badge and, why not,
a list of all users of this role. I know it is a poor solution but the actual state of description URLs in badge module
are intended to `describe´ de role. What'd you say?

Thank you for this idea!

Not a bad idea for a temporary solution. Can you please keep this feature on your To Do list if possible? Do you want me to open a feature request as a place holder?

Thanks!
