Q: Can I change the number of medals showing? A: Go to AdminCP > Appearance > Style Properties > Message Elements. There you can see "[bd] Medal - Maximum" at the very bottom. Set the maximum value to 0 to show them all. Q: Is there any way to specify display order? A: There is an option in AdminCP > Home > Options > [bd] Medal to configure the display order. It can either be award date or by medal display order. Q: How would I move the awards to another location in the miniprofile. A: For positioning purpose, you can select one from 4 positions in AdminCP. If you want to put it somewhere else, just put <xen:include template="bdmedal_message_medals" /> anywhere inside template "message_user_info". Q: How can I put this in the signature? A: You can select manual position and edit the "message" template then put "<xen:include template="bdmedal_message_medals" /> " in the signature part. Q: Is there a way to display "Awards Earned" before the medals show in the user message area? A: You can edit template to add the text. The template is "bdmedal_message_medals". Replace it with something like this: PHP: <xen:if is="is_array({$user.xf_bdmedal_awarded_cached})">Awards Earned:<br/><xen:foreach loop="$user.xf_bdmedal_awarded_cached" key="$key" value="$medal"><xen:if is="{xen:property bdMedal_messageMax} == 0 OR {xen:property bdMedal_messageMax} > {$key}"><a href="{xen:link 'members/medals', {$user}}"class="OverlayTrigger Tooltip"title="<xen:if is="{$medal.hackableCustomTitle}"><xen:else />{$medal.name}<xen:if is="{$medal.award_date} AND {xen:property bdMedal_messageShowDate}">. {xen:phrase awarded}: {xen:datetime {$medal.award_date}}</xen:if></xen:if>"data-offsetY="-{xen:calc '{xen:helper medalimagesize, {xen:property bdMedal_messageImageSize}} - 5'}">{xen:helper medalimage, {$medal}, {xen:property bdMedal_messageImageSize}}</a></xen:if></xen:foreach></xen:if>
Q: How do people get these medals? Is it done manually by admins/mods? A: Manually in AdminCP > Applications > Medal System > Medals. Q: Is it possible to alert user when a medal is awarded? A: An alert is sent every time a medal is awarded. Please note that alert will not be sent if you are awarding yourself.

Q: What is your stance on this being included based on criteria? For example a user meets a specific post count and they are automatically award x-medal. A: A paid add-on is available which will integrate [bd] Medal System with XenForo trophies. When a trophy is given, a medal will show up in user inventory. You can get it here.
