@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:

Screen Shot 2023-05-30 at 11.48.30.png

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.

hello @phenomlab

I am trying to apply your code for the “all” group which all my members are part of.

I downlaod the image of the twitter badge in full resolution and upload in the same place and I access it correctly.

On the other hand it would seem that the badge is displayed badly (cut on the right for the first on the screen) then transparent for the second and on the 3rd it is not displayed aps.

An idea ?

phenomlab

@DownPW it’s really hard to see that image. I’ll need to look at your dev server directly to see what’s happening here.

DownPW

I just found some answers @phenomlab

It is absolutely necessary that the user is displaying the badge of the group in his profile:

That the question, How to force put the user in a group ?
For the rest of the display bugs, I have not yet found.

phenomlab

@DownPW said in Custom badges:

It is absolutely necessary that the user is displaying the badge of the group in his profile:

Yes, it won’t display without that. I don’t know of a way to force it either.

DownPW

If I apply light themes we see better.
In fact, ther badge is cut on the right and we have the dexcription badge below :

phenomlab

@DownPW yes, that’s just going to be positioning. Remember we are using position: absolute; and your CSS is likely to differ so you may need to tweak the positioning slightly to suit.

crazycells

hi @phenomlab, we should be able to download this…

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Twitter_Verified_Badge.svg

…and recolor it accordingly and upload it to the forum the same way, right? These colors are reminding everyone “twitter” , I believe it would be nicer if it is changed according to the personality of the forum, so it will look more original while maintaining “meaning”…

I think here on this forum, “sudonix orange” color would look cooler than “twitter blue”

crazycells

additionally, these pages need some adjustments: https://sudonix.org/user/phenomlab

phenomlab

@crazycells that’s odd. Shouldn’t look like that (at least, it doesn’t on my device). What device are you using?

phenomlab

@crazycells hmm. That’s a good idea. Let me have a look at that.
