Author Badges

Authors work diligently to write compelling articles. Due to his or her research on an article topic, an author has the insight to provide insightful responses to users' Conversation comments. When an author responds to a comment, the Author Badge gives your users a visual indicator that response came from the article author.

👍

The Author Badge depends upon making backend-to-backend server calls.

Requirement

• Single sign-on implementation

Implementation

Use the following steps to enable an author badge:

1. Make a GET /sso/v1/user/primary_key call to retrieve the OpenWeb userId for the author of the article.

2. In the launcher script, define the data-author-id attribute with the userId retrieved from the previous step.
   
   When copying the following code examples, replace all the placeholders: SPOT_ID, ARTICLE_URL, ARTICLE_TOPIC1, POST_ID.

<script
    async 
    src="https://launcher.spot.im/spot/SPOT_ID"
    data-author-id="AUTHOR_ID" //as received from OpenWeb's get-user endpoint 
    data-spotim-module="spotim-launcher"
    data-post-url="ARTICLE_URL"
    data-article-tags="ARTICLE_TOPIC1, ARTICLE_TOPIC2"    
    data-post-id="POST_ID">
</script>

<div data-spotim-module="conversation" data-author-id="AUTHOR_ID" data-post-url="ARTICLE_URL" data-article-tags="ARTICLE_TOPIC1, ARTICLE_TOPIC2" data-post-id="POST_ID"></div>
