Hi... Is there a line (or few lines) of PHP code which will assign a badge to a person (and ideally - but not essentially get it on the activity stream too)?

I know the badge ID and I know the User ID.

I know I can assign it manually in the back-end of EasySocial - but I have a form (using a 3rd Party Component) that people are completing and when they have I want to have a badge auto-assigned.

Thanks for any help you can give here.
Basically what you mean is there a PHP script auto assign a badge for those user when they achieve something?

If yes, you probably need to create a new badge for this, you can take a look one of the existing badge sample JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easysocial/defaults/badges/profile.badge

Then you can add this following code into your 3rd party component under that function code.


require_once(JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR . '/components/com_easysocial/includes/easysocial.php');



// your command you can put this example name "profile.view" 

// But you need to put more specific name and do not match with your existing badge command name

ES::badges()->log('com_easysocial', 'your command', 'your user id', 'your message');


Hope this will help.

Thanks Arlex.... could you just explain the "YOUR COMMAND" part again? Everything else makes perfect sense and I really appreciate it.

How do I find out the the YOUR COMMAND bit would need to be?

"YOUR COMMAND" is the command or the unique identifier related to the badge. Each badge created on the site has a unique identifier, https://take.ms/b5pjx
