Custom badges

@crazycells it’s a lot of effort, but I really like the effect. I’m just wondering if it’s easier to use an actual image?

@crazycells oooohhhhh - I like!!!

that background URL is universal, right? I mean it will always be available and not be deleted?

I used this page to get that: https://fontawesomeicons.com/svg/icons/twitter-verified-badge#ex-tab1

Yes, correct.

@phenomlab I prefer this way, because I would like to change the color of it depending on profession. In our forum, I am not planning to use it for “email verified” users, it will mainly be used for professional users that we host. I can easily edit this depending on the groups.

[phenomlab]

@crazycells That makes sense.

good job @crazycells

I wonder if we could do it for each badge without changing the color of course and keep the color of the original badges.

Curious to see what it would look like

no, this does not work. the overlap of a wavy edge circle and a circle becomes a circle. so, you cannot detect any flower shape with this method. The way that I achieved this was by removing the background color (making it transparent by CSS although there is an assigned color for it in ACP) and then creating a new flower shape on top of it by CSS.

@crazycells just thinking about this. Wouldn’t it be easier to just use font awesome?

as far as I remember, we discussed this before and you mentioned that that badge is not in the free tier.

[phenomlab]

@crazycells Yes, you’re right

@crazycells This intrigued me somewhat, I won’t lie I decided to take a stab at this myself.

@phenomlab is there a problem in the forum?

I refreshed several times, nothing changed…

[phenomlab]

@crazycells Sorry, yes. Fixed that now.

[crazycells]

@phenomlab it looks very nice but I guess one needs a subscription to use this, right?

I am looking forward to seeing that on the avatars as “verified badge”, please do not forget to share your CSS code for its position when you implement it.

No, there’s no subscription - what do you see ? The CodePen should be public?

[crazycells]

@phenomlab yes I can see it very well:

since your code has “/font-awesome/6.4.0/” in it, I assumed you are using pro version.

[phenomlab]

@crazycells No, it’s the free version

https://cdnjs.com/libraries/font-awesome

You only need the check mark itself

[crazycells]

@phenomlab great then, are you planning to implement it on this forum?

I need to tailor the code for my forum…

[phenomlab]

@crazycells Yes, I think I probably will.

[phenomlab]

@crazycells Ok, so, I found some time to look at this properly today.

Here’s the result

Notice the “Twitter-esque” verified badge?

I found this

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Twitter_Verified_Badge.svg and downloaded it, then uploaded it to /assets/public/images

Then, I used the below CSS code

    li[component="post"] a[href*="/groups/verified"] {
        position: absolute !important;
        left: 2px;
        z-index: 2;
        margin-top: 1px;
        border-radius: 999px !important;
        line-height: 14px;
        display: block;
        height: auto;
        margin-left: 0px !important;
        background: transparent !important;
        width: auto;
    }

    li[component=post] a[href*="/groups/verified"]:before {
        background: url(https://sudonix.org/assets/images/Twitter_Verified_Badge.svg) !important;
        content: "";
        height: 22px;
        width: 22px;
        display: block;
    }
    li[component=post] a[href*="/groups/verified"]:after {
        background: #ffffff !important;
        height: 9px;
        width: 9px;
        content: "";
        display: block;
        top: 10px;
        position: absolute;
        z-index: -1;
        left: 12px;
    }

Some points to consider

• The CSS code extensively uses :before and :after pseudo elements. Essentially, :before adds the SVG icon and positions it, and :after adds a smaller “white square” which is conveniently positioned behind the :before element using z:-index: -1;

The purpose of the “white square” is to provide a dirty way to fill in the transparency which is present in the SVG so it looks right.

This is pretty tough to display on mobile viewports, so it’s best to hide it completely using this code

@media (max-width: 767px) {
    li[component="post"] a[href*="/groups/verified"].badge, .account a[href*="/groups/verified"].badge {
            display: none !important;
        }

EDIT: Just realised that this icon (being a group) is also displayed on the user’s profile page, so we’ll need CSS to make that look good too…

I’ve absolutely no idea who this guy is…

Here it is

    .account a[href*="/groups/verified"] {
        position: absolute !important;
        z-index: 2;
        background: transparent !important;
        margin-left: -10px;
    }
    .account a[href*="/groups/verified"]:after {
        background: #ffffff !important;
        height: 9px;
        width: 10px;
        content: "";
        display: block;
        top: 10px;
        position: absolute;
        z-index: -1;
        left: 12px;
    }
    .account a[href*="/groups/verified"]:before {
        background: url(https://sudonix.org/assets/images/Twitter_Verified_Badge.svg) !important;
        content: "";
        height: 22px;
        width: 22px;
        display: block;
    }

Enjoy.
