Create Badge create-badge

A badge is created by uploading a suitably small image (72dpi with a height ranging from 26-32 pixels) and providing a name. The badge image is stored in the repository at /etc/community/badging/images and is automatically replicated to the publish environment.

If the publish environment is a farm of publishers, it is necessary to configure user sync.
