Description
This module began as a copy of the User Badges module
(http://drupal.org/project/user_badges)
Changes from the original module:
To Be Completed
The Open Badges module allows each user to be assigned 'badges', displayed as
a series of iconic images. A common use will probably be to display the badges
along with the user's information within forums, comments, or node postings.
These badges can be assigned individually by the administrator or attached to
a role so that, for example, all users in the 'admin' role will show the
'Administrator' badge which could display as any graphic.
Any badge can optionally be associated to a URL that links the image to a
description page. This URL has token support. If a user has more than one badge,
there is also a mechanism that allows administrators to only show the highest
level badges.
You can also set a special badge for blocked users and even override their
role badges with this one.
Open Badges can be used as a way to establish trust (in the same way as eBay's
star graphics) or as an incentive for users. They can also be a quick way to
identify moderators, administrators, or anyone with a given role.
Limitation
The badge image library is not compatible with the "private" file download method,
