    Congrats first for a wonderful work.
    I looked over for something similar to my problem, couldn’t find anything so I’m opening a new topic.

    I have installed buddypress and Event Manager plugins.
    Now, I need the following feature: (and I’m open to develop and share it around)

    Lets say that User 1 is creating and hosting an event. User 2 is a quest. After the event ends, User 2 will be able to give User 1 a Badge (from an array of 3 types, e.g: Excellent Host, Wonderful game or Great speech). Think about this as an Event Review or smt.

    All users are Subscribers. Everything have to be done by front end, no user have access to dashboard but the admin.

    Is there anything similar?
    Where or how should I start?

    Thank you,
    Codrin

    I don’t want to be pushy, but is anyone out there?
    Should I explain more detailed? There is not approach for this?

    Thanks,

    That would be helpful if you can. Just posting to solicit a reply is considered bumping and those get deleted.

    Ok, sorry for bumping.

    The main idea is:
    Right now, the plugin give the opportunity to the website admin to offer a Badge to other Users.
    I want to make it possible for all users (subscribers) to give others some badges.

    Of course, there will be some conditions under whom the user can do that.

    I know this changes will call for some coding and I’m ready to do it and then share it.

    Any idea?

    Hi,

    I’m tempted to recommend that you build out a custom plugin for this functionality. The plugin wasn’t constructed with direct user-to-user awarding in mind. What you’ve described here is also *kind of* close to “gifting” items or things to other users, and that’s something that I explicitly decided against building.

    In addition to no existing front-end templates or front-end form handling for allowing user-to-user awarding of achievements, you’d need to filter the user capabilities for the two achievement post types (right now, only editor and admin roles can award directly to other users), and change the backend badge handling to support marking certain types of badge as one of the special user-assignment badges (a category might be easiest for that).

    If I were doing this, I’d also go a step further and build an audit trailer so you can see which users are giving which achievements to which users, due to the increased potential for abuse.
