config to automatically display badges on author page

[davelester]

Add a checkbox to the WPBadgeDisplay plugin configuration that, if checked, will automatically display the badge embed code on an author's page using the email address associated with their account.

Possibly merge this with Issue #3. Looks like the easiest way to automatically hook into the author page is to filter the author description, and append the badges below. Would work something like this: apply_filters('get_the_author_description', 'author bio dynamically retrieved' . whatever_badge_display_function);

So might this be an option for someone with a large number of badges where the widget just doesn't provide enough room to display them all? I'm thinking about WordPress specifically, where I could create a page and embed those badges on that, but any website might wish to take advantage of this means of presenting badges.

In this ticket I was mulling over the idea of creating a unique page for each user that would display their badges -- either an existing author page if it existed, or a new page. I think you're right, if a user has more badges than are displayed with the widget it would be nice to have a "see more" link (or something similar) linking to this larger page.
