    Hi Brajesh,

    Now that a lot of companies and organisations worldwide are trying at least to test Holacracy, it could really be a good idea to have that plugin in your portfolio…

    «Holacracy is a new way of structuring and running your organization that replaces the conventional management hierarchy. Instead of operating top-down, power is distributed throughout the organization – giving individuals and teams freedom while staying aligned to the organization’s purpose.»
    https://www.holacracy.org/explore/why-practice-holacracy

    …while using BuddyPress in a professional environment I would say to have Group Types is a basic feature.

    Regards,
    Hans

    Hi Brajesh,
    Hi Mike,

    Thanks a lot for your replies, and first of all and most important: I really like @designserve input, your wording. Yes, I’m talking about LABELS and not Badges. I used the word Badges because of that User Badges plugin, but for all these “awards” or special qualities a group, a village, will have, Label is absolutely the best word, and one that is widely used. “BuddyPress Group Labels” should be the name of that plugin.

    And yes, the first step should now be a BUDDYDEV plugin for *Group Categories*. I’m definitely not interested in having another “code provider” for only one plugin as part of my installation. In fact it’s not only the total number of plugins used what will make your site rocksolid, it’s also important to have consistent extensions… I need group categories mainly to have one “division” for these villages (up to 2000) and another one for internal working groups!

    Regards, Hans

    …and only the SITE Admin should be able to set that Group Badge switch, not an individual Group Admin!

    Hi Brajesh,

    1. The badges I’m talking about have nothing to do with any individual user of the community or a group, therefore these badges are never visible on any user profile. You created the user badges, the user badges plugin to give a user a badge or some badges. And now I would like to have the same kind of functionality for groups. There is no relation between any user and a group. Here you can see a real world example from France…
    https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concours_des_villes_et_villages_fleuris
    https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Gr%C3%A9sy-sur-Aix_-_Entr%C3%A9e_sud_D911.jpg#/media/Fichier:Grésy-sur-Aix_-_Entrée_sud_D911.jpg
    That “Villes et Villages Fleuris” sign is such a “badge” in France…
    2. Why is it meaningless to give a group a special sign, some special badges? In my use case a BP group represents a “Ville” or “Village”, a City or a Local Community (Village). An other example is an Award: “The recipient is often a single person or else a representative of a group of people, be it an organisation, a sports team or a whole country…”. Single persion OR a group of people…
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Award
    …and that’s why somebody (the individual BP group admin) needs the role (the “job”) to assign a badge to the group. Not that group admin is “wearing” a badge, it’s only his/her job to apply it to the BP Group.

    In my use case I have two BP group types: Groups for Coworkers, groups of interest etc. etc. – and on the other side these groups representing the Villages. The best way to implement these group badges would be to have a switch for every group, same what’s already there for bbpress (“this group can have a Forum”). Label would be: “This group can have badges”…

    Regards,
    Hans

    Hi Brajesh,
    In Switzerland we actually have a total of 2212 villages (local communities). Every village that is interested in our project will have its own BP group…

    1. A group badge should represent something what they do in that particular village on top of basics to protect the environment… what I wrote: a badge for collecting plastic garbage in a separate bag in every household of that village, a badge for slower traffic (we call it «Tempo 30»), a badge for availability of environmental coaching for members of that village, a badge for a free coworking space what they provide in that village, a badge for car/carpool or bike sharing or availabilty of … (we already have endless ideas)

    2. The group badges are totally independent from users or user-criteria. It’s the village, that particular community (other words the BP group) what gets the badge. They have not directly something do with the BP Members of that group. The group represents the village, that’s it.

    3. Only Site Admin and Group Admin

    Regards, Hans
