Hi
I like soo much this feature in moodle 2.5, i'm developer so i need to add more criteria types, like this
*when a user dedicate a minimun time in a curse
*when a user have a percent of activities for example 80% or 100%
So i apreciate the help to develop this because i dont find developer info about this
Thanks
Hi Humberto,
We have a ticket open to make criteria a plugin so they can be added easier and shared via the plugin database. The code is written and just needs to get tested and integrated. Because it is an API change and requires database changes it will go into 2.6 rather than a 2.5 point release.
https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-39864
We will write a plugin authoring guide once the final format is confirmed.
At the moment it is possible but not particularly easy. You can see what you need to change in the first comment in the tracker issue above. Be aware though that if you write new criteria for 2.5 you'll have a little work to port it to the 2.6 format (it shouldn't be too hard but there are some changes).

Thanks for that info Simon.
Having badge criteria be a plugin will be very useful.
Any chance that this could also make its way one day to completion tracking criteria? Seems to me there will be a lot of potential overlap there.
I'd suggest creating a separate tracker issue for course completion criteria as a plugin.
The overlap between badge criteria and completion criteria is a bit of an issue, we are trying to avoid replicating all the functionality that already exists in course completion while keeping the flexibility to award badges for different criteria than just completion. For a bit more info see this ticket:

Totally agree, they should be separate. Just thinking that as the plugin style architecture is being adopted more and more, CC is a good one to do.
