We’ve got another improvement to the Topic Voting plugin to share with you — new badges awarded based on the number of votes received on an idea / feature request topic, so you can celebrate members that have shared great ideas in the community.
We’ve added four new badges:
Daydreamer: Awarded when your topic receives 1 vote
Brainstormer: Awarded when your topic receives 5 votes
Innovator: Awarded when your topic receives 15 votes
Visionary: Awarded when your topic receives 25 votes
I believe that is what Jobs::BadgeGrant is for, which runs every 24 hours. I’m not sure when that is for Discourse hosting but we should get them soon.
Nevermind, looks like it was granted actually, just no notification.
We didn’t want to spam users with notifications for things that happened a long time ago — so once enabled, badges will backfill but members will only receive notifications if they earned the badge within the last 2 weeks, and if they qualified for multiple badges (e.g., they earned 6 votes so they qualify for Daydreamer and Brainstormer), we’ll only notify for the “highest” badge (e.g., Brainstormer).
In new communities, the Topic Voting badges will be enabled by default (but can be disabled if desired).
In existing communities, you can turn on the upcoming change to enable these badges or opt-out of the change if you don’t want to use them.
To turn this on, head to the Upcoming changes page in your admin area (/admin/config/upcoming-changes) and find the Enable Topic Voting badges item. Update the Enabled for… field to opt your site in to this new design:
