How to create your own badges?

As we mentioned above there 2 types:

Rounded badge

To have this type you need to place the following line into the suitable area (learn more below): (Yourbadge) , so you need to write your badge text between rounded brackets.

Square badge

This is quite similar, the only difference that you need to use square brackets: [Yourbadge] .

Currently the badges supported for the following menu-types:

  • Joomla menus

    In this case you need to write the code of the badges in the Menu manager edit view, into the Note parameter.

  • Joomla categories (and articles)

    In this case you need to write the code of the badges into the Note parameter of the editor view.

  • Virtuemart

    With VM, you need to insert the badge codes into the category description parameter.
