How To Edit a Badge

I'm having a lot of fun with this functionality :)

Will an option to remove badges be added?

@Jurgen Groovy to hear you're having fun with it!

The option to remove badges isn't currently planned - a similar functionality we've considered is to make it possible to filter the list of badges by whether the badge is active or not.

Hi! Happy to see you again! :D

So this message usually is being displayed when you attempt to edit an old Badge:

Back in the days (like unitl two years ago I think) we had "custom Badges". These were very flexible, we were able to set up the rules in a very specific way (e.g. give a Badge if someone replies in 5 topics in 10 minutes).

The "problem" with these Badges was that you were not able to change anything about the rules of these Badges - as they were custom one of our developers had to set them up / change them individually. This was annoying for everyone as inSided had to invest a lot of hours for these changes, and as a customer you might had to pay for additional changes / new Badges.

So with our new self-service Badges you are now able to create/edit/delete Badge rules yourself, however due to the nature of the "old" Badges the actual rules still cannot be edited.

Do you know when these Badges actually have been created? If they were new Badges (younger than two years) you should be able to edit them, if they are older the message is right. 😕

Hi Julian,
This explains a lot! 😄 Sounds like it's time for some self-service Badges.

Hi @Julian!

So our community has been with InSided since 2016 and 5/7 of our badges are "legacy". Is there any way to change their settings? I might be interested in for example editing the mail notifications 🙂

Hey!

Well, as these Badges have been implemented by a developer, every change to these Badge rules would also require a developer to get this done.

Of course you could also deactivate such a legacy Badge and then re-create a similar Badge with the current rules offered in the tool.

I am not sure how my colleagues would tackle this, as this is a change request and not something we have done in a while...

Maybe you can send this as a request to support - they will be able to tell you if and how this could be done. 🙂

Thanks @Julian!

I suppose Support can export these rules for me, as I do not remember them?

🙂

Hey Suvi,

yes, sure, they will be able to do this for you! 🙂
