BartK's sandbox: Medals

Medals is a Drupal 7 replacement for the User Badges module that integrates heavily into Drupal 7's taxonomy system. This module allows you to award "Medals" to users which show up in their profile when certain criteria are met, including gaining a role or reaching a set number of User Points in a particular category.

This module requires the User Points module to work. When you install it, it creates a Taxonomy vocabulary called "Medals", where you can define a custom set of medals that your users can earn. Medals can be given out based on a user points total or a role, or (if no criteria are selected) they can be awarded manually.

Each medal must have an image assigned to it. This image will appear in the Medals list on the user's page.

Medals are able to supersede other medals. For instance, if you have a bronze, silver, and gold version of a medal, it is possible to have only the highest medal show up on the user's profile page. To do this, simply arrange the Medals taxonomy terms in such a way that the higher medals are children of the lower medals, like this:

• Talkative (Bronze)
  • Talkative (Silver)
    • Talkative (Gold)
• Contributor (Bronze)
  • Contributor (Silver)
    • Contributor (Gold)

This module is sponsored by OpenGameArt.org. Unfortunately, as I am the sole maintainer and this is for a larger project, I don't have time to add a lot of new features that won't be directly relevant to my website; however, I would be absolutely thrilled to add patches from other people or accept additional maintainers into this project so that it can be expanded for more general use.
