I'm hoping to assign badges to specific posts. I've set up a few with custom icons. These two badges are to be manually assigned to posts by admin only and will indicate if we endorse the post.  For example: "Supported by research" or "Endorsed by LTA".

Assigning badges works well, but for some reason the icons related to the badges don't display with the post.  Here's an example of what is displayed.

 

The icon assigned to the 'Endorsed by LTA' badge looks like this, but is nowhere to be seen on the post.

 

Anyone know if there's a way to ensure this icon is displayed with the post the badge is awarded to?

The badge icon is indeed not displayed on posts, you can see the same happening on this site: 

 

 

Once awarded, the badge icon appears only in the user's profile: https://invisioncommunity.com/profile/145950-teraßyte/badges/ => Helpful for a post in a topic

Hi teraByte

Thanks for your advice. Do you know if there is any way to get the icon to display on the post it was awarded to?  Could this be customised by a developer?

 

This is something that would need to be 3rd party developed. There is no way in which to do so within the core platform.

Here's your starter...

Edit the following template in your theme:

core -> front -> global ->commentRecognized

Add the following at the start of the template:

{{if($comment->recognized->badge)}}
	{{$badge = \IPS\core\Achievements\Badge::load($comment->recognized->badge );}}
{{endif}}

Then add this where you want the badge displayed:

{{if ISSET($badge)}}
	{$badge->html()|raw}
{{endif}}

That will give you a full size badge - experiment with the following to change the size....range is 1 (small) to 8 (large)

{{if ISSET($badge)}}
	{$badge->html('ipsFlex-flex:00 ipsDimension:4', FALSE, TRUE)|raw}
{{endif}}

Thanks for your comments and tips. This is much appreciated.

I've added a more-advanced version of the above edit into v1.3.0 of "(NE) Display my badges" - see below for details:
