New Discourse badges

Badges are great, we should make more. Here’s how:

Design the badge image (anyone!)

These sites are useful:

Get the PNG for your badge.

Create the badge (Ask a Forums Moderator!)

Go to https://discuss.openedx.org/admin/badges, and use the New button.

  • Icon: It doesn’t matter that much, because your image will take precedence.

  • Image: select Upload an Image, and upload the badge image you made.

  • Type (bronze, silver, gold): Probably at least silver. Look at the existing badges to see other badges for comparison.

  • Group: “Contribution” is likely, but we can make another group if you want.

  • Write descriptions

  • Be sure to check off:

    • “Show badge on the public badges page”

    • “Show post granting badge on badge page”, if appropriate

    • “Enable badge”

Award the badge (Forums Moderator)

There are a few ways to do it.
