Descripcion
Display « Badges » (which are really no more than HTML snippets) from a set of files in a specified directory off the root of the blog. The directory will default to « ./badges » and the Zip file contains both that directory as well as a « Sample » badge.
Using the Widget you can choose whether to:
- enable « Display Badge in a Box » (enabled by default, uses internal CSS)
- enable « Display a Drop-Shadow » (probably best used with « Box Mode »)
as well as
- decide whether you would like to use a Title
- define the directory of the badges.

FAQ
-
Which naming convention is used for the badges
-
All badges needs to be named
XXname.inc
, where « XX » is a number (used to determine ordering) and the « .inc » is required. -
What is the format of the « Badge » files?
-
You could view the included « demo » file:
00testbadge.inc
, but here’s another, slightly simpler, example:<!-- Support CC --> <div id="badge-supportcc-inner" onclick="location.href='http://creativecommons.org';" style="cursor: pointer;"> <img width=88 height=31 alt="http://creativecommons.org" title="Support the Creative Commons!" src="http://creativecommons.org/images/support/2010/cc-support.png" /> <br /> Support the Creative Commons! </div> <!-- /Support CC -->
-
How do I style the badges using CSS?
-
Quite simply by using the
div.badgegroup
class to style a set of badges. To style them individually, use thediv.badge
class. -
How do I limit the styling to a set of badges?
-
Look for the relevant « Badge Group’s » ID and then use the
div#badge-ID > div.badge
CSS selector. -
How do I style a single badge?
-
Easiest yet: every badge gets a unique ID generated by the plug-in based on the badge’s file-name and the directory. Simply use that (you’ll have to inspect the source to see what the id is; by example the ID generated by my Site-Licence badge is « badge-damn-licencing-licencing »).
