BadgeOS turns your site into an achievement and badging system. Easily create badges and set up the steps and achievements users complete to earn them.

== Description ==

[BadgeOS](http://badgeos.org "BadgeOS")™ turns your WordPress site into an achievement, badging and engagement management system. Your users complete steps, demonstrate skills and knowledge, and earn digital badges. Easily define the achievements, organize the badge requirements any way you like, and choose from and combine a range of assessment options to determine whether each task or requirement has been achieved.

Create badges and set up the achievements to earn them. Badges are Mozilla OBI compatible and sharable via [Credly](https://credly.com/ "Credly.com"), the free web service for managing and displaying lifelong credentials.

BadgeOS is extremely powerful and infinitely extensible. Check out some of the out-of-the-box features:


**Many ways to define achievements and give badges**

*   Reviewed submissions
*   Auto-approving submissions
*   Nominations and review
*   Site activity (triggers based on publising posts and pages, commenting and logging in to your site)
*   Completing specific other achievements one or a specific number of times
*   Completing one, select or all achievements of a specific type
*   Point thresholds
*   Admin Given Badges
*   Community Activity (with the powerful [BadgeOS Community Add-on](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/badgeos-community-add-on/ "BadgeOS Community Add-on"))
*   Activity from other popular WordPress plugins. See growing catalog of [BadgeOS Add-ons](http://badgeos.org/add-ons/ "BadgeOS Add-ons").


**Define an Unlimited Number of Achievement Types**

*   Create as many types of achievement as you like
*   Name achievement types whatever you wish
*   Easily define how they relate to one another using the 'Required Steps' tool
*   Set default images for each achievement type or select unique images for every achievement item


**Design Beautiful Badge and Achievement Images from within WordPress**

*   Use the integrated Credly "[Badge Builder](https://credly.com/badge-builder-home "Credly tool for designing badge images")" to create professional looking badge images right from within WordPress
*   Launch the Badge Builder from any achievement or achievement type editing screen in WordPress admin
*   Choose from a variety of badge shapes and border styles
*   Select from a library of thousands of Noun Project icons, or upload your own to the center of any badge
*   Add or remove a banner with text to your badge
*   Full color palette selection for border, fill, icon and banner
*   Saves automatically to your WordPress Media Library for easy re-use for other achievements or anywhere else on your site
*   Edit previously created badge and achievement images and save new versions to your Media Library
*   Simply enter your Credly credentials in the "Credly Integration" settings menu in BadgeOS to enable the Badge Builder. If you don't have a [Credly](https://credly.com/ "Credly lets you create and manage lifelong achievements") account, [create](https://credly.com/#!/create-account "Create a free Credly account") one for free.


**Sharable Badges with Credly Integration**

*   Badges are Mozilla Open Badge (OBI) compatible through [integration](http://badgeos.org/about/credly-integration/ "Credly Integration") of the "Open Credit" API by [Credly](https://credly.com/ "Credly.com"), the free web service for issuing, earning and sharing badges.
*   Connect your Credly account to your BadgeOS site and voila! You're using WordPress to issue "Open Badges" that can be displayed virtually anywhere.
*   Badges you create in BadgeOS automatically appear and update on Credly
*   Use Credly iOS app to issue badges you created on your WordPress site.
*   As badges are earned on WordPress, they can be automatically sent to Credly for easy sharing on Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, Mozilla Backpack, the earner's own web site, blog, or Credly profile.


**'Required Steps' Manager**

*   Simple yet powerful admin interface for defining the "Required Steps" for any badge or achievement.
*   Easily link together one or more triggers, steps or actions into the conditions needed to earn a badge or mark an achievement.
*   Extend the Required Steps options using the free [BadgeOS Community Add-on](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/badgeos-community-add-on/ "BadgeOS Community Add-on").
*   Also extend Required Steps with other [BadgeOS Add-ons](http://badgeos.org/add-ons "BadgeOS Add-ons").


**Reward User Progress**

*   Issue badges for any combination of achievements
*   Award points for commenting, logging in, making submissions, completing any combination of tasks
*   Display a congratulatory message, customizable per Achievement, on each achievement page.


**View and Issue your BadgeOS badges via iOS Mobile App**

*   Badges created in BadgeOS are immediately available on the Credly iOS mobile app (with free Credly integration enabled).
*   Create badges in WordPress, and then issue them from your iPhone!
*   BadgeOS badge earners can receive, accept, view and share their badges from the iOS app (with their profile set to receive badges via Credly).
*   Credly app's "ID Card" view essentially turns a BadgeOS badge into an "access pass" for face-to-face activities.


**Earned Achievements Widget**

* Shows logged in users what badges they have earned.
* Option to choose which specific achievement types to display in the widget.
* Set the parameters for the widget to decide how many recent badges to display.
* Option to show logged in users total points they have earned (if you are using BadgeOS points mechanism).
* Members can share their badges right from the widget to their Credly profile and off to their linked social networks or Mozilla Backpack.


**Theme Agnostic, Shortcodes and Shortcode Embedder**

* BadgeOS works with just about any standard WordPress theme.
* No special hooks or theme updates are needed.
* Turn any page or post into a way to display available achievements and for users to track their progress.
* Multiple options and parameters for each shortcode for great flexibility.
* Shortcode WYSIWYG embedder - appears in the toolbar of all WordPress content editor areas, allowing you to transform any page or post into part of your achievement system -- without referencing any of the shortcodes.
* Shortcodes to bring submission and nomination review to the front-end of your site.
* Shortcode to integrate specific available achievements into any post or page of your site.
* Shortcode for Credly "[Custom Assertion Location](http://blog.credly.com/custom-assertion-location/ "Credly Custom Redirection")" for displaying badges issued by Credly Pro users on your site
* [Shortcode documentation](http://badgeos.org/support/shortcodes/ "BadgeOS Shortcodes") in the plugin menu and on BadgeOS.org.

There are a rapidly growing number of platforms and apps that are using the Credly "Open Credit" API to enable sharable badges; the BadgeOS WordPress integration is just one great example! Visit us [Credly.com](https://credly.com "Credly on the Web") to learn more or [contact](https://credly.com/contact "Contact us") us for guidance with using the free Open Credit API in your own projects or applications.
