Badge Generator

badgeyay

The goal of badgeyay is to provide a simple badge generator with the following features:

• a simple web UI to add data and generate printable badges in a zip
• Fields should include:
  • choose size of badges
  • choose background of badges and upload logo and background image
  • upload CSV or copy/paste text for badges including name, type of attendee, nick/handle, organization/project

This first step is to provide a simple script to generate the badges for the FOSSASIA conference. The next step is to provide a web UI.

Specification

Input

• The input is a set of csv files in the same folder, UTF-8.
• The csv file is named after the badge type to take. Example: vip.png.csv uses the picture vip.png.
• The CSV has up to 4 columns for the name and the twitter handle. They will be filled if this number is filled:
  • __X_
  • __XX
  • _XXX
  • XXXX

Output

The output file is svg / pdf / multipage pdf of size A3. Each badge has the size A6. The outputs are in a folder derived form the input csv

Customization

You can change the font style, font size, color,etc from the .svg file in the folder badges. Inkscape is generally used for editing of such files.

Usage

You need Ubuntu.

You can run the merge_badges.sh file. It generates badges for every csv file and combines them to one. There is a travis build which build the badges automatically. When a PR is merged into the master branch, the current badges canbe downloaded.

Contributions, Bug Reports, Feature Requests

This is an Open Source project and we would be happy to see contributors who report bugs and file feature requests submitting pull requests as well. Please report issues in the [GitHub tracker][new-issue].

Implementation

generate_badges.py creates svg files from the csv, png and badges/8BadgesOnA3.svg.

merge_badges.sh converts there into pdf files and merges them together into one.

[Travis][travis] creates new [releases][releases] with the all-badges.pdf file.
