I am attempting to build a plugin that allows badges to be created via a user interface, much like what was requested on this post:

> Hello everyone, I’m new to using Discourse and I am also not good at writing SQL queries. Does anyone know if there is a plugin out there that will allow for me to create badges using a UI instead of writing the query?

I have built what I think is the necessary logic and structure into the plugin, but for some reason there continues to be an issue with routes.rb and duplicate routes.

The git is here:  
[https://github.com/ordokr/badge\_maker/](https://github.com/ordokr/badge_maker/)

This is the error I’m getting, which includes a port error, which may be a separate issue:
