Badges

Beschrijving

Display “Badges” (which are really no more than HTML snippets) from a set of files in a specified directory off the root of the blog. The directory will default to “./badges” and the Zip file contains both that directory as well as a “Sample” badge.

Using the Widget you can choose whether to:

  1. enable “Display Badge in a Box” (enabled by default, uses internal CSS)
  2. enable “Display a Drop-Shadow” (probably best used with “Box Mode”)

as well as

  1. decide whether you would like to use a Title
  2. define the directory of the badges.

FAQ

Which naming convention is used for the badges

All badges needs to be named XXname.inc, where “XX” is a number (used to determine ordering) and the “.inc” is required.

What is the format of the “Badge” files?

You could view the included “demo” file: 00testbadge.inc, but here’s another, slightly simpler, example:

<!-- Support CC -->
<div id="badge-supportcc-inner" onclick="location.href='http://creativecommons.org';" style="cursor: pointer;">
<img width=88 height=31 alt="http://creativecommons.org" title="Support the Creative Commons!"
    src="http://creativecommons.org/images/support/2010/cc-support.png" />
<br />
    Support the Creative Commons!
</div>
<!-- /Support CC -->

How do I style the badges using CSS?

Quite simply by using the div.badgegroup class to style a set of badges. To style them individually, use the div.badge class.

How do I limit the styling to a set of badges?

Look for the relevant “Badge Group’s” ID and then use the div#badge-ID > div.badge CSS selector.

How do I style a single badge?

Easiest yet: every badge gets a unique ID generated by the plug-in based on the badge’s file-name and the directory. Simply use that (you’ll have to inspect the source to see what the id is; by example the ID generated by my Site-Licence badge is “badge-damn-licencing-licencing”).
