I understand that your K2 plugin for EasySocial also have badges and points features for K2 articles created. Can you confirm these please:

1) How many badges are included in this plugin and what are they?

2) Does the user still get the badge if the article was created by admin from backend (i,e admin creating on behalf of the user and setting user as the author) or does the user needs to create the K2 articles from front end in order for the badge calculation to work?

3) Another question on the same note, if the article was created in back-end, will that also show in Activity feed?

4) Can we create multiple custom badges for same action? Meaning, award different badges when a user create 10 articles, 50 articles, etc...?
Please find the response to your inquiries below:


1) How many badges are included in this plugin and what are they?

You can see the rules here,



[
{
"title" : "Publisher",
"alias" : "publisher",
"description" : "Loves contributing articles.",
"howto" : "To unlock this badge, you need to create up to 50 new articles.",
"command" : "create.article",
"extension" : "com_k2",
"avatar" : "media/com_easysocial/apps/user/k2/assets/badges/publisher.png",
"frequency" : 50
},
{
"title" : "Proof Reading",
"alias" : "proof-reading",
"description" : "Great proof reading skills",
"howto" : "To unlock this badge, you need to update 50 existing articles.",
"command" : "update.article",
"extension" : "com_k2",
"avatar" : "media/com_easysocial/apps/user/k2/assets/badges/proof-reading.png",
"frequency" : 50
},
{
"title" : "Great Reader",
"alias" : "great-reader",
"description" : "Loves reading through articles.",
"howto" : "To unlock this badge, you need to read up to 100 articles.",
"command" : "read.article",
"extension" : "com_k2",
"avatar" : "media/com_easysocial/apps/user/k2/assets/badges/great-reader.png",
"frequency" : 100
}
]




2) Does the user still get the badge if the article was created by admin from backend (i,e admin creating on behalf of the user and setting user as the author) or does the user needs to create the K2 articles from front end in order for the badge calculation to work?

The plugin actually inserts the rule for the owner of the item.


3) Another question on the same note, if the article was created in back-end, will that also show in Activity feed?

Yes.


4) Can we create multiple custom badges for same action? Meaning, award different badges when a user create 10 articles, 50 articles, etc...?

Unfortunately that is not possible currently.
