I made it so if you click on a badge in someone's profile or sidebar you now go to the page listing all people who have that badge 

Can i hear some love for the new badge system!?

You can now restrict the bage page display to specific badges, for example:

to show only the nany and gathering badge winners: https://www.donation...;show=nany,gathering

to show only the programming school badges: https://www.donation...tage1,deluxe,dabbler

you can also specify the term official to show all official admin-awarded badges: https://www.donation...es&show=official

or the term self to show all user-self-chosen awards: https://www.donation...badges&show=self

Clipboard Help+Spell / Re: Caps<=>lower case as a formating preset

« Last post by mouser on February 09, 2009, 06:13 PM »

i think your confusion is that you cant UNCHECK the boxes marked "trim left" and "trim right", but that is misleading because the reason you cant change those checkboxes is because the PARENT checkbox of them is already disabled.

So its a bit of a confusion with the interface, but trimming is turned off when the parent group checkbox is unchecked, so there is nothing to worry about.

ps.
good work figuring out how to do what you wanted -- the preset format things can be tricky to get the grasp of initially.

"File/Folder Date Organizer, an application coded by a Donation Coder member, is a brilliant tool that helps you reorganize the contents of a folder according to the date of creation of the files within that folder. "

Site/Forum Features / Signatures now not shown if you have under a certain number of posts

« Last post by mouser on February 09, 2009, 06:07 PM »

To avoid the possibility of spammers posting just to show links to their site:

• Signatures now not shown if you have under a certain number of posts (currently 10, could change)
• If you try to simulate a signature in your post that looks even remotely spammy (like a link to some site selling stuff) it will be removed.

mahesh, it is written now:
https://www.donation...ex.php?action=badges

f0dder that's not a bad idea, i could make at least 3 dif sections for:

• Programming School Awards
• Other Official Awards+Badges
• User Badges

pcommand is just a way for one plugin or alias to send a broadcast to all plugins, and the plugin that understands the request performs it.

for the merit badges (Coding School, etc), how about a link or a literal that says what they got them for?

i could do that easily with the new system.

I like the old version from the programming school.

One feature of the new badge mod i wrote is there are 2 kinds of badges, one kind that only the administrator can give out, and one kind that people can choose for themselves from a predefined list.

This was actually an old idea by dc member CodeTrucker, where we could have badges to represent hobbies and professions, etc. that users could choose to represent themselves.

There aren't any of these up yet because i need some help building them.  What i need for each such badge is:

• 16x16 tiny gif image
• 64x64 bigger image (jpg or gif or png)
• url for more info
• one word label, one line title, and then a longer description

so if you want me to add a badge for your hobby, profession, etc., send me the stuff above ([email protected]).

what if you add a Folder node to LBC and point it to a folder, and then drag your outlook msg elements into that folder using explorer.  does that achieve what you want?

Site/Forum Features / Badge/Award Mod Rewritten

« Last post by mouser on February 08, 2009, 04:53 PM »

So i have now finished the first stage of rewriting the badge/award mod on the forum; that's the thing that shows little icons next to your name in your posts for things like the NANY challenge, etc.

The new setup is makes it 100x easier for me to add badges to users, and opens the way for people to add their own badges (from a set we configure), to designate hobbies, professions, etc.

And lastly the new system will make it easy to add an "Award/Badge Page" that better shows who has which badges, etc.  This part isn't written yet but won't take long.

--

If you notice you are missing a badge you should have, drop me a line.
