BadgeOS Invite Codes Add-on

Description

This add-on plugin to BadgeOS and BuddyPress automatically joins a user to one or more BuddyPress groups when they use a corresponding Invite Code upon joining your site.

Note: You will need the free BadgeOS plugin™ (version 1.2 or higher) and the BuddyPress plugin v1.7 or higher installed to use this plugin.

BadgeOS™ turns your WordPress site into an achievement and badging system. Use the BadgeOS Invite Code plugin in conjunction with the BadgeOS Community Add-on, and badges based on Group membership can be awarded to users as soon as they join your site with a valid Invite Code.

Get the BadgeOS plugin.

FAQ

Where can I learn more about BadgeOS?

Visit BadgeOS.org to learn more about the free BadgeOS plugin, available add-ons, and to see the latest news on our blog.

Yes, we do. We especially enjoy working on innovative projects with forward-thinking teams extending achievement recognition into new environments and surfacing achievement in new ways. See examples and learn more at: https://badgeos.org/services/badgeos-customization/.

Where should I contribute code back to the project?

Thanks for asking! Please do share back code modifications or enhancements you make for inclusion in BadgeOS core or as add-ons. (Functions that are specialized for just some users are likely best as add-on plugins to BadgeOS. We can help figure that out with you.) Visit us on GitHub to share your code with the BadgeOS community.

Credly is really cool. How can I learn more about it?

Credly is the universal way to recognize, store and share life’s achievements. We’ve integrated Credly into BadgeOS because it’s downright the easiest, most fun way to collect evidence of all your achievements in one place and then share them out when and where it matters most. There are a rapidly growing number of platforms and apps that are using the Credly “Open Credit” API to enable sharable badges; the BadgeOS WordPress integration is just one great example! Visit us Credly.com to learn more or contact us for guidance with using the free Open Credit API in your own projects or applications.
