User Badges available at Igolocal

As you can see below.
When somebody clicks, they are sent directly to your profile on the map. They don't need to be logged in to see it.
If you'd like one of these, log in to Igolocal and open your User Preferences. The system generates both HTML and BBCode versions of the badge for you.

I like the idea, but not the current implementation. I have two problems with it:
1) It's much too large. It'd prefer about 30 pixel in height.
2) It doesn't contain the essential information: My location. Mine should say "Munich, Germany" in some form.

Perhaps the desired height and width could be passed in as a variables, along with the user_id value.

Being able to add any size is probably a bit hard to code. Since the layout and what data gets displayed should depend on the size of the badge. But it is usual to offer several sizes.

It is hard to make that assertion without knowing how Mr. Thomas made the site. The php image create function, for example, takes height and width as parameters.
If the user didn't like the look of the size that they set, they could change it. However, I too do not know the underlying implementation, so I am also making assumptions.
It's just an idea.

Speaking of which...
How do you set the Club info on your profile?
Might be I need more coffee this morning, but I could not find it.

You need to create or join a Dojo - this is where the system gets the club name.
More coffee always helps, too!
BTW, please post questions, bug reports and other ideas in the Igolocal forums, I may not have time to monitor L19.

I'd love the option of putting your city in the place of the dojo name if you aren't in any clubs.

I agree that they're too big. We don't need the forum here polluted by huge graphics in sigs.

And yet your one-line post without a badge takes up more space and has more contrasting colors than my one-line post with a badge.

Banners in between the text are more annoying. The info on the left does not really distract from the posts that much, although...
Kirk can "reduce" his rank a bit (will safe 1 line) and move to just the "French Alps" (another line)
But I still prefere the (rather long) info on the left to someone who has not even an avatar
Instead of a banner can we just get a text link to our own location maybe ? I would never use a banner, but might add a text link.
somthing like:
You can find me on Igolocal !

Yeah, you're right. The badges are too big anyway.

Sure, it's easy to use the code to do that. The code is really just a couple of links, and you can use your imagination to create your own:
Code: Select all
http://igolocal.net/index.php?preload=user&user_id=YOURNUMBER
To link to your Dojo, you can use:
Code: Select all
http://igolocal.net/index.php?preload=dojo&dojo_id=YOURNUMBER
That link will bring anybody directly to the igolocal home page and open up your profile.
In fact, it's much easier on my server if you do the text link.
