Badges?

Badges is still in dev, no release schedule yet.
Perhaps start using Karma Bank, which will tide you overuntil badges is released and the two should handshake with each other, as an overall rep system etc.

when you say the two should handshake with each other, do you mean that x00 has an integration with badges? is there a conspiracy im not aware of? ooo, im very intrigued.

I believe, knowing how technically anal x00 is ( meant as a compliment ) that he has studied classes and hooks of badges, and has fwd enginered his plugin.
Just a assumption tho.

Actually it directly listens for meta, it does not rely on plugins being a certain way. The source of the meta can be mapped easily.
Also you can create meta where there is none (in the case of QnA), and it also listens for this, but does not have to rely on that event.

Well, it would be great if the badges plugin was available. I would definitely be willing to pay some serious coin for it...
@alarich
If someone can make me some images to use for I can probably build it. Seems like a neat feature.
Any update on the Badges-plugin for us who host Vanilla on our own servers?
Nope

That's a shame. The Badges feature is pretty much the only reason why I am even considering using Vanilla.
well you have to option of goign with the hosted solution.
grep is your friend.
I do, but I rather want to host the forum myself.
Edit: And I don't have any problem with paying for the plugin, if that's somehow stopping the devs from releasing it.
I think also they need time to test it an iron out, and also review their business strategy.
If they make a public realease, they are goign to have to support those people.
grep is your friend.
Seriously though if literally that is your only reason then using the hosting solution for the time being might be for you. It is optimised, something that most self host aren't.

I am planning on integrating the forum with my Wordpress blog and I already have a decent VPS that will do just fine.
There are topics around badges plugin every week.
I understand developers if they prefer to keep this killer feature exclusive for hosted forums.
Anyway it would be a step forward to know if this plugin will be ever released...
If the answer is "no" maybe a developer would be ready to write a Badge Plus plugin for ransom.
I have to say that a badges plugin seems tempting, BUT..on the other hand it is nice to live without it. i don't like the idea of users just posting to achieve something/boost their ego. and some of them would. it sort of disturbs the original idea of a community - which is sharing and helping each other on an equal level ... just my opinion
The other option is to get a vb licence for 300 bucks or whatever..

I actually got an active IPB license and several of its suite products. IPB is a fine piece of forum software, but for this particular site I am looking for a cleaner and simpler forum. When I tried out IPB I just ended up taking away lots of features and code that I felt was unnecessary and made the site look bloated. So Vanilla felt/feels like a natural choice.
