Wordpress Badges Plugin

This is great, Mark! I'm sure lots of our members will benefit from this plugin.

Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing this plugin in the forum Mark! As Micah said our members will love it! :)

Thank Micah and Faye :)

I also just patched it to version 1.2 which address some issues with JS and CSS files not showing up on some versions of wordpress as well an issue with the JS file grabbing user profile data.

Mark, if I wanted the less verbose descriptions on hover, just back to where this project forked on GitHub and just remove those lines that grab the description from Treehouse?

How cool is that - loving the work Mark

@John you have a few options:

• Modify the plugin ( the js file )
• Use jQuery to select all the img and trim the attribute
• Wait till this evening (or tomorrow at the latest) and I will add a checkbox to disable the description :)

So I just took a look at the Treehouse JSON file and they do not have the full description in it.

Before I commit the code just looking for a bit of feedback:

If we want to add back the full description I can make it pull from the original YQL query but there will be a performance hit. This would be an option based on the user checking a box in the widget panel.

Question for ya'll is do you think have the extended description is worth the performance hit and if so do you think a checkbox is the best option for configuration.

The performance hit isn't necessarily worth it to me for the extended description. It already takes a second to load the badges for me. A checkbox is a great way to go. I thank you, sir, for putting out such a great plug-in.

You're a star Mark :)

Thanks Chris I am glad the plugin is useful!

Thanks!

Is there a version of the plugin that's separate from Wordpress? Would love to use it within a Node.js or Rails 4...
