The PeepSo – BadgeOS Integration is a 3rd Party plugin which brings a gamification system to PeepSo that awards achievement badges for community engagement.
The badges are displayed in users’ profiles and a corresponding activity post is published on the PeepSo stream. Users who earn a badge will also receive a notification.
The Plugin not only displays badges for the default activities in BadgeOS. It also extends BadgeOS’s possibilities by adding PeepSo Community Engagement Actions. Users can earn badges by performing activities in your community.
The actions that generate badges depend on the PeepSo plugins you have installed and activated. Available actions are divided into groups, with each group name corresponding to the PeepSo plugin needed:
PeepSo Core (free):

Front End:
User Profile and Navigation
The badges show in user profiles under the Badges submenu which is below the user profile cover. There are three menu items and three ways for users to view their badges:
- Through a link on the PeepSo toolbar under Profile > Badges. (This link can be disabled in the back end.)
- Through a link in the PeepSo Profile Widget > Badges. (This link can also be disabled in the back end.)
- And through a link in the User Profile under the cover.
Activity Stream Posts
Whenever a user earns a badge, a corresponding post is created in the PeepSo community. It’s like an announcement to the whole community that a user has just earned a badge.
Notifications
Users also receive a notification that lets them know they’ve earned a new badge. (We wanted to make sure they didn’t miss it.)
Back End Configuration:
These are the available settings in the backend of the PeepSo Config > BadgeOS tab:
- Enable BadgeOS Integration.
- Show ‘Badges’ link in the PeepSo Profile widget.
- Show ‘Badges’ link in the PeepSo Profile menu.

BadgeOS Integration
Achievement system for community engagement.
BadgeOS Integration Plugin lets users earn badges for their community engagement. These badges, or achievements if you will, are displayed in users’ profiles. When a badge is earned, a corresponding activity post is created on PeepSo stream to congratulate the user on earning a badge.
The plugin displays badges that can be earned by performing activities available by default in BadgeOS. It also extends BadgeOS’ possibilities by adding PeepSo Community Engagement Actions; that means users can earn badges by performing additional activities in your community.
Which actions are available depends on which PeepSo plugins you have installed and activated. Available actions are divided into groups: each group name is the name of the corresponding PeepSo plugin that is required for them to work.
