BadgeWidgetHack is a very basic, lightweight OBI-compliant badge displayer.
The UI is not very sexy, but I figure that’s ok since you only have to use it once.
After you walk through the wizard you receive some Javascript you can embed in your blog or elsewhere (see you can see it running at the bottom of the righthand sidebar on the front page of this blog, for example).
The widget currently:
- shows up to the first four badges in the group you selected, - badge images link to the hosted assertion, and - badge names linking to the badge descriptions.
For BWH to work, you need to (1) have badges in your Mozilla badge backpack, (2) created at least one group and added some badges to it, and (3) marked that group as Public.
I’m sure you’ll manage to break it, and I would love any feedback or ideas for improvements!
