One thing you'll want to do before you launch your platform is to set up which Achievement Awards you want to use.
All of the options are available at the following page:
System → System Configuration → Achievement Awards
Of course, you can always use this page to immediately enable or disable any of the Achievement Awards used on your platform.
Enabling or Disabling awards
To enable or disable any of the awards, simply toggle the status by clicking the Tick or Cross when viewing the list of awards.
Alternatively,
- Go to System → System Configuration → Achievement Awards
- Click the Edit icon (or the name of the award)
- Tick or Untick Active
- Click Update
Set a custom image for your awards
- Go to System → System Configuration → Achievement Awards
- Click the Edit icon (or the name of the award)
- Select Custom Image
- Click Choose File or Browse to upload the image
- Click Update
Note: We recommend you use transparent PNG files for best effect.
All custom award images must be 280 x 280 pixels.

Ongoing Achievement Awards
Ongoing awards use a system based on "levels", where a user can "level up" by performing a particular task or action a certain number of times, as defined by the Level Requirement for the award.
Note: For example, the Login Lover award is given to a user after they log in to the platform a particular number of times. If the Level Requirement for the Login Lover award was set to 10, then a user would advance to Level 1 after they log in 10 times, and would advance to Level 2 after logging in another 10 times.
To change the Level Requirement for an award:
- Go to System → System Configuration → Achievement Awards
- Click the Edit icon (or the name of the award)
- Modify the Level Requirement field to suit
