Suggestion Badge and levels

[Clement]

So, here is a list of features i would like to see. I really would extend this into a badge / level system that extends the existing trophy system.

Badge
A badge is an icon that represents one or multiple (a group of) achievements a user has earned. When creating a badge, there should be a couple of options.

• Badge-Type
  • Open: The user can see the badge and the achievement that is attached to it.
  • Surprise: The user can see the badge but not the attached achievements.
  • Secret: The badge only appears if the user has earned it.
  • Exclusive: The badge can't be earned. Only admins can award it to a user
• Icon
• Category
• Achievement
  • Points: User will earn the badge once he reaches the amount of points
  • Trophy: The badge will be earned together with an achievement
  • Level: Once he reaches a selected level, the badge will be earned
• Usergroup
  • Once a user has earned the badge, there is also the option he will become member of another usergroup (good for rewards)
• Dependency
  • A checkbox list of all the other badged. If a badge is selected, the new badge can only be earned if the user has already earned the selected badge.

Level
A level is also "just" gamification stuff. You can set up points per level and once a user reaches the points he moves to the next level. A progress bar is shown so he knows about his points, his level and how many points he needs to reach the next level.

User / Display option

• There should be options to display the badges and the level in different locations (new profile tab, conversation, post, membercard,...)
• If a user has a lot of badges, he can pick which one will be shown besides his messages
  • An option would be, to show more badges once he reaches a higher level
• Of course there should be a leaderboard (levels) and an overview which user earned a badge

I know it's a lot of stuff but i love the gamification stuff and XF lacks a lot in this area. As said before, of course i would pay for the development. Maybe @Alfa1 can extend this list since he's also very creative about the gamification / user engagement stuff.
