Just a heads up, the Auto Messaging extension isn’t intended for notifying each time an awards is given, and is more meant for bigger milestones like 1000 points or some other milestone you can think of. We have an extension in the works for individual achievements as they’re earned, but has not been released quite yet. Hopefully soon, I’m going to request more on when a little bit later today.

Also, to summarize what I said the other day, we’re already showing all of the points available to everyone, what you’d be asking us to do with these time-frames is limit point display to certain time-frames instead of show everything. Is that what you intended to request?

Hi Denis,

thanks for this suggestion.

I imagine it’s possible, but offhand I don’t know how easily it would be to extend at the moment. We’d need to make sure we’re tracking when achievements are earned as well, if we’re not already.

My one thought with this though is that the values displayed are not based on timeframes at the start, it’s based on overall total. So to set up the different tiers, we’d actually have to parse the timeframe and grab earned achievements that fit in that, and actually subtract the point value from the point total.

Hope this clears up some confusion, but let me know if you have more questions

Yeah, sadly I think that type of sorting/functionality is going to be more than a quick simple thing. Sorry about that Darin.

[Michael]

in reply to: Overall Badge Count? #3971

I don’t believe we have a cumulative column available, but I think we have the plugin extensible enough to make a version like that if you are a programmer type.

Darin, you should be able to make the leaderboard track by achievement metrics, and no need to even include points. It’ll be some of the settings when setting up your Leaderboard.

Sounds like there wasn’t noticeable difference on this person’s end, sadly.

Would you be willing to provide us a login so that we could see this in action and hopefully debug it up close and personal?

[badgeos_achievements_list show_filter="true" type="all"]

[Michael]

in reply to: multiple leaderboards #3858

It’s not letting me see anything due to restricted to site members, just a heads up.

If I’m following you correctly, you want to show the achievements associated with each leaderboard? I believe the [badgeos_achievements_list] shortcode is limited by design to be one per page, because of all of the querying and ajax that goes on to render it. However, as an alternative, I recommend adding the show_filter attribute to the first instance of it, and switch the type to all. That way it’ll show all of the achievement types but allow the viewer to filter by achievement type. It may not be the most optimal solution for your need, but it is *a* solution and I hope it’d be at least good enough.

I’d love to see the shortcode become more robust in the future, for the record.

[Michael]

in reply to: multiple leaderboards #3854

Sounds like it should work.

If I’m interpreting you correctly here.

English is one achievement type
Math is another achievement type.

You create one leaderboard to just show the leaders out of who has earned the most achievements in English, you create a second leaderboard to just show the leaders out of who has earned the most in Math. Then, lastly, you create a third leaderboard that shows total cumulative points, English achievements count, and Math achievements count, likely ordered by total points. That way visitors can see who earned the most points and what balance of English and Math achievements they earned those points with.

If that’s what you were getting at, then it should totally be possible, with minimal setup time.

I don’t, but I will provide a screenshot of all 4 below

Each one in this image is its own leaderboard, displaying different achievements and metrics, except for the last one which shows EVERYTHING from my demo achievement types I have on my dev site. My users are a bit empty but I reset frequently. 🙂

The last one has some with some qualities achievements, and you can see the count of achievements from the qualities achievement type that each has.

I hope this clears up your confusion for how to have multiple leaderboards.

[Michael]

in reply to: multiple leaderboards #3835

Well, you can though. The issue isn’t the amount of leaderboards being created, it’s that the same content is being displayed in each.

Looking over things with the plugin to refresh my memory of how it functions, the leaderboards are always going to sort numerically based on the achievement types and total user points, depending on which ones you want to include in each constructed leaderboard.

If you want a total points leaderboard, easy to make. If you want to show who’s leading the pack with total earned quests achievements (or some other combination), not a problem. If you’re wanting to rank who’s ahead on points earned from just quest achievements….that’s where we currently fall short. I won’t say it’s impossible to do that, because I’m confident it could be done, however it’d take some more development time to get that sort of itemized calculations in place.

If that’s the type of thing you’d like to see in a future release, I can certainly put in an enhancement ticket for it. If you have other ideas as well for ways the extension could be improved, we’re all ears and willing to at least put ideas into consideration.

[Michael]

in reply to: multiple leaderboards #3832

If each leaderboard has “points” as one of the metrics to display, then each one is going to query from the one same value for each user, which is going to be their total points. It’s not points associated with the leaderboard, it’s points associated with the user. Same thing will be true for every other metric.

You can do multiple leaderboards and keep the shown achievement type metrics unique, but that’s not going as far as I’m perceiving you want it to, especially when it comes to point totals.

[Michael]

in reply to: multiple leaderboards #3829

Are you using the shortcodes that get generated for copy/paste when you edit the leaderboards?

[Michael]

in reply to: Activation codes loading slow #3828

User provides one activation code, which is attached to one post in the database, or at least should be. The plugin does a WP query for the one post and returns what information we requested (which got changed in our attempt to help with this problem), and just the information for the one achievement. It just needs to spend some milliseconds trying to find the one post that has that matching value. 150 posts isn’t going to take much time at all, but that example upper limit would.

No idea sadly on any super-high amount of achievements for one site.

Still waiting on feedback from the other person we are testing the patch with.

in reply to: multiple leaderboards #3816

Hi Mia

It is definitely sounding like what you’re aiming for isn’t really possible with the current version. All of the metrics that would be getting tracked on each board would already be the cumulative version, if I recall the functionality correctly.

The underlying problem that I see, and one that wouldn’t be easy to solve, is somehow itemizing the achievement data, and that’s something that would end up trickling all the way back to the core plugin and how that functions.

Wish I had a solution for your need, really.

[Michael]

in reply to: Activation codes loading slow #3815

It’s less about amount of badges, and more about amount of content being queried for with the activity code selected. However, if you had like 10,000 badges to search through, then there would be some performance lost, just due to ridiculously sheer amount. 150 isn’t going to be noticeable in this case.

Good evening,

Strangely enough, I found out that we had another user report the same issue with slowness earlier today.

One of our other developers looked things over and found a possible bottleneck that we’ve now patched. We’re going to do some quick tests with their site, which has about 400 users. If the problem is solved or at least performance is notably better, then we’ll apply it to the plugin and ship out a new release imminently. If it isn’t quite solved yet, we’ll keep looking and try to get it resolved asap.

We’ll hold off on someone logging into your site for the moment, but do know I appreciate the offer.

Hi Junelle,

Sorry to hear that the plugin is being slow. Just to be certain, I looked over the plugin’s code, and I couldn’t immediately see any place that’d be a huge bottleneck like you describe. I can say with certainty that the submission is handled via ajax and javascript. There is chance that the response and handling of the submissions is acting slow, but I can’t be certain of that without being able to see it in action.

If the site is live anywhere, I can give it a closer look, and possibly try it out myself.
