[solved partially. Thanks to pichalite] rewards essentials doesn't update badges for users?

noobbb

Update: Partial solution: Tell your users to profile > settings > Select the group title you would like to display > select from drop down. This makes a badge show up beside their name. I don't know if the badge will auto upgrade as they gain more reputation.

I updated some rules and restarted the forum but they don't seem to apply to existing users? Am I doing something wrong?

For example, I have a rule where if user has more than 100 reputation add to group ,veteran, but the users with over 100 reputation don't get the veteran badge.

When I look at groups, the user is assigned to that group, but I don't see the badge on the forum.

Thanks for reading.

@noobbb rewards essentials just adds the user to the group... it does not update the user profile and change the group title that's displayed next to the username on topics.

Is there a way for me to do this? Hopefully an automatic method?

@noobbb you will have to modify the rewards essentials plugin to do this. It is kind of creepy. The user may be part of other groups and have a title set but doing this will overwrite the user setting without their knowledge.

@pichalite hmmm. I better not touch that. I fear I'll end up crashing the forum. Are there other plugins that provide what I need? (automatic badge system reflects their reputation?). Thanks for your insights.
