I think you can refer on this documentation : https://stackideas.com/docs/easysocial/developers/achievements

But after you create that badge rule, you have to add some php code into controller file which perform the attend function, so system can log how many times that user attend the event before.

Thank you Arlex, so can you assist me any further with regard to the php code. I am officially out of my depth. I actually thought badge creation might have been a "click some boxes" in the EasySocial app.

You're welcome.

Because the badge rules file is only identify what is that badge unique id, once you install this badge rule file into Easysocial system, it actually need some php code to perform when this new badge suppose to do his job. e.g. When someone attend the event.

By the way, I am really sorry but unfortunately we cannot accommodate your request currently as it is beyond our support scope's policy as outlined in http://stackideas.com/support

Having said that, if you require us to perform the customization for you, you can always request for a quote from us at https://crm.stackideas.com and select "Customizations" . Our sales person would be glad to send you a quote for the customizations that you have requested.

So what would be the controller function? This would be in the controller file "command". So if I want to count and reward badges for each time someone marks that they are attending an event... what command is that going to be? How do I find it?

Would the command be something as simple as event.attend?

OK so I found the command for myself: events.going

I have created the .badge file (shown below) with a name of attendance.badge and I have uploaded the appropriate images. Easy social shows discoveries, but none of the new badges appear. And when I attempt instead to install the file, it tells me the .badge file is an invalid format.

So either my syntax in the file is wrong. the file name is wrong - or your process is wrong.

1. There seems to be an issue with your badge contents, http://take.ms/itB5S

2. You cannot install a badge that has the same command which already exists on the database. If there is already a badge for a particular rule, you cannot just duplicate it.

Based on what my colleague mentioned that is correct, one of your `frequency` value is not enter correct the format then causing this issue.

You can also can refer my sample .badge file from my attached file below, you can extract it and check those command you have to put different and match with following the coding.

And that controller function you have look for this file in order to implement your new badge.

JoomlaFolder/administrator/components/com_easysocial/tables/eventguest.php

Please refer on my attached screenshot and see which line of code you suppose to add in.

        // Assign badge for the user

        $badge = ES::badges();

        $badge->log('com_easysocial', 'event.attend', $this->uid, JText::_('add your message here'));

        $badge->log('com_easysocial', 'events.going', $this->uid, JText::_('add your message here'));

        $badge->log('com_easysocial', 'events.goingsuper', $this->uid, JText::_('add your message here'));

        $badge->log('com_easysocial', 'events.goingmarvellous', $this->uid, JText::_('add your message here'));

        $badge->log('com_easysocial', 'events.goingmaster', $this->uid, JText::_('add your message here'));

        $badge->log('com_easysocial', 'events.goingamazing', $this->uid, JText::_('add your message here'));

        $badge->log('com_easysocial', 'events.goingstupendous', $this->uid, JText::_('add your message here'));

Arlex,

I installed the file you attached and yes the badges installed correctly . However when I attempted to add the control functions as shown in your sample and the screenshot to the eventguest.php file, it broke easy social.
I removed the lines you suggested and added the file back to the site and everything worked again. Is is possible that your functions are incorrect?

Can you attach to me that eventguest.php file which you modified so I can check it for you.

Actually I managed to get the file successfully updated... There was a typo in the lines I added.

Thanks for letting us to know your issue has been resolved now.

As a gentle reminder, kindly start a new thread if you have any other issue in the future so it will be easier for us to manage your inquiry. I will lock and mark this thread as resolved.
