Another feature request: A widget that shows the users with the maximum points across the community.

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 10 months ago]

DjPaul, this plugin keeps getting better.

I can wait until the next release. Will the achievement names be customizable from the admin?

I would suggest allowing the points weightage for each achievement be customizable by the site admin (50 points for 10th post, 5 points for 1st comment)

Under the profile picture is definitely a good place to display the points, another good location would be in group topics and wire messages.

A future feature could be to assign an experience tag to members according the points/achievements they have earned (pro/experienced/newbie).

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 10 months ago]

That worked perfectly thanks!

Is there a way to change the names of the achievements? Also, is there a way to unlock achievements manually for members? (they might already have satisfied the achievement conditions already before installing the plugin).

What do you have planned for the next version of achievements? 1 suggestion, is you could assign a points value to each achievement that gets totaled up and can be displayed prominently on user profiles. This would act as an indication of a members experience within a community.

Maybe we should start a thread where people can contribute ideas and code for achievements.

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 10 months ago]

oops, Ill check right away.

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 10 months ago]

DJPaul, I tried out the code you posted in the link above on my dev setup.

I just renamed the file to example_achievements.php (from phps), and uploaded to muplugins to see what it does. When I try to log into wp-admin, it shows me all the code from the file I just uploaded as well as the following error:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/kunal17/public_html/jainkunal/wordpressmu/wp-content/mu-plugins/example_achievements.php:1) in /home/kunal17/public_html/jainkunal/wordpressmu/wp-content/plugins/buddypress/bp-xprofile/bp-xprofile-signup.php on line 5

I am running WPMU2.8.2, BP1.0.3

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 10 months ago]

Hey,

Estimated Time of Arrival

Just eager to try out your plugin.

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 10 months ago]

Thanks DJPaul! Ill try this out later today and let you know.

@blackarbor, try the code in the link pasted earlier by DJPaul. They should meet your requirements if I understand them correctly.

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 10 months ago]

Grosbouff,

Looks like you have got a lot of the main components online. Can you give us an approximate ETA for the initial release?

Also, I can help test out the plugin when you are ready.

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 10 months ago]

Great!

I have several ideas for achievements already!.

Can you provide me with an example of how I would add an achievement for posting/commenting in a particular blog(s)?

I have a few core blogs and I want this to be an added incentive for members to guest post and comment on these particular blogs.

Thanks for releasing this useful plugin.

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 10 months ago]

DJPaul,

The plugin sounds great!

Is there a demo or screenshots that we can access anywhere?

Also, is it compatible with BP1.0.2?

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 10 months ago]

Gpo1,

I am using GDStarRating on 1 of my blogs though not on buddypress homeblog. I want to use it with multiple blogs but several users are reporting errors on the authors homepage so I am waiting for a more stable version.

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 10 months ago]

Jfcarter,

Have a look at the pods plugin for wordpress at http://pods.uproot.us/

I am trying to use it to create company profiles. Maybe we can combine efforts.

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 10 months ago]

r-a-y, which plugins are still incompatible with WP2.8?

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 10 months ago]

Rohan,

Do let us know if you succeed at this. This would be a good interim solution until someone can cook up full external blogs functionality. Thanks.

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 10 months ago]

Bump?

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 10 months ago]

I have hacked this currently to display a message to the unregistered/no logged in user to go back to the home page and log in. Obviously this is far from ideal, unfortunately, that’s the extent of my skills right now .

Would be great if anyone could shed some light as to why the above problem is happening. Thanks!

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 10 months ago]

Thanks Ray,

I need to be able to list all the data in a particular profile field too. I will try your method as soon as possible and check if its working. For my next step, I need to figure out how to automatically create an xml file with all the data in a particular profile field.

Can anybody suggest ways to do this?

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 11 months ago]

The plugin is looking good. Will there be widgets that allow showing certain classifieds in other parts of the community?

Also, just wondering how different you plan to make it from other classifieds plugins (I believe some other members have succeeded in implementing ‘another classifieds plugin ‘ to their BP installs)

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 11 months ago]

Mohit,

Not sure what a fisheye menu is but I know I would really benefit from a tutorial to easily convert the default BP home theme nav bar into a drop down one. I am running out of nav bar space with all the new components being released and need to move some out of the top level into drop down.

I look forward to your tutorial for the sliding sign in menu too. Have you got it to work properly with the BP signin component?

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 11 months ago]

Hey, some of these upcoming features look great. Do you have an estimate as to when you will have your next release?

Thanks for developing a great plugin!

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 11 months ago]

Andy,

You are right, sorry about that. I saw the first one and then noticed the second and assumed it was the same problem without looking closely. Any ideas as to what could be the problem in the first?

Thanks!

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 11 months ago]

I just wanted to add that I am using the following plugins:

SiteWide

bppicture-album

Welcome Pack

Bp-dev core

BP-dev groups extra

Others:

Most Active Blogs

Seo for buddypress

As well as the following in the mu-plugins folder:

bp-events

bp-featured members-widget

blog_defaults

plugin-commander

typepadAntiSpam

restrictprofiles

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 11 months ago]

Mariusooms,

Thanks for working on this much required plugin. Does it allow you to associate external blogs as well as the ones within the current community?

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 11 months ago]

I have not tested it yet but I am guessing it sends the activation link anyway (since the author mentions that a random password will be generated if one is not provided) which is fine by me as it will help somewhat to thwart spammers.

Brajesh, is there a way to have the user enter the password twice (like in other registration forms) to make sure it is entered correctly as the user wants?

[@kunal17 Participant 16 years, 11 months ago]

Thanks for sharing the code Peterverkooijen.
