Sidebar widgets – using more than one at a time?

  • I’m trying to set up some text widgets using the following code:

    [badgeos_achievements_list type=badges limit=10]

    It works great for the first widget. But if I add a second text widget and try to reuse the code with a different badge type, it won’t show anything:

    [badgeos_achievements_list type=quests limit=10]

    The sidebar will only show the badges from the first widget. The second one doesn’t work.

    Is this a limitation, or can it be fixed? Can the types be combined in one shortcode? I plan to use several different types of badges, and would like to show my users their progress for each type, and like how this shortcode shows the badges in shaded format until they are earned, and then they become colorized.

    Thanks.

    It’s a presently built-in and intentional limitation with that shortcode due to how it uses ajax. I have an enhancement ticket open still to rework it somehow to allow multiple instances of the shortcode on the page, widget or not, but it hasn’t been done at all so far. You should be able to recreate similar things, but it would need to be a custom solution for the output and whatnot, that doesn’t rely on ajax for dynamically switching the content.

    Thanks for the follow up. Yeah, it would be helpful to have the ability to run multiple instances I think. In my case, I have multiple types of badges that need to be presented in separate sections. Without the ability to show multiple instances of the widget, it would at least be nice if the widget could group badges by type to keep them separate, and allow a bit of formatting to icon size, faded icon opacity, title and description font size and color, spacing between badges, and even how much of the description to show (all of it is too much, which causes me to just omit a description altogether).

    Thanks!

    Understandable, and things that just have not been developed for out of the box access. Definitely possible by all means. Just takes a bit of time and work at the moment through some custom development. It’s a valid question where a line should be drawn for 3rd party enhancements vs provided by BadgeOS core. However, I would lean more towards core for these at the moment.
