Is there a way to remove the date a badge was earned?

We recently implemented Premium Gamification, and one thing we'd like to do is have a badge for our users who have earned our product certification.  However, if we assign badges now to people who earned certifications a long time ago, the age of the badge is displayed. For example, someone who has been certified for years would show as having earned the badge three weeks ago. I've been asked if we can make this age go away.

I'm pretty sure it can be done, but I've been digging around for a custom text setting and can't find one. Anyone know if this can be done?

Hi Icgolden, 

I'm not aware of the text key, though I haven't had much of a chance to dig much into this in our community as yet. My feeling is that it's an all or nothing type solution relating to the display. You could use CSS to target that part of the badge display and hide the date however this will hide the date from all badges on the user profile display.

.lia-user-badge-display-card .lia-user-badge-display .lia-user-badge-date {display: none;}

should do the trick.

Alternatively signposting that badges are a new addition to the community and as a result the award date for some badges may not be correct is another approach so that community members are aware that the award date for some of those badges doesn't reflect the actual certification date as the badges were not available then.

I hope this helps 🙂

Thanks, Robert! All or nothing is fine; I would be very surprised if we could modify the date on some badges and not on others.

I'll try the CSS solution you're suggesting...that should solve it for us!
