Activity Codes – Already in use for 'undefined'

Hi rlilleker

I can recall at a time we had a phantom-like issue with the ajax for this. Despite the “undefined” return, it was actually an available activity code. I think it had to do with comparison operators in some javascript.

However the second part with the “no access” bit is a new one.

What version of the BadgeOS core plugin and Activity codes plugin do you have at the moment.

Side note: you should have access to the premium forum at https://badgeos.org/support/forums/forum/activity-codes/ for the Activity Codes plugin. Just a FYI.

Hi,

We’re currently running WordPress version 3.9.1 with BadgeOS version 1.3.3 and Activity Codes add-on version 1.0.0.

We were wondering if the add-on is multi-site compatible?

Thanks
Richard

Can’t seem to access the premium forum, unfortunately.

Assuming you’re not trying to have 1 badgeos install that is meant to work within all network sites, then you should be fine. BadgeOS is primarily tailored at single sites, and utilizes the tables that are individual per site.

For the “No access to “[ACHIEVEMENT NAME]” at this time.” part, does the achievement have more than just the activity code as a requirement?

The achievement only has the activity code as the requirement.

Thanks

Just to add….it looks like the “no access” error message is being triggered by the badgeos_activity_code_submit function in the activity codes achievement-functions.php file.

It checks to see if a user can earn the achievement:

badgeos_user_has_access_to_achievement( $user_id, $achievement->ID )

and if not, it fires the “No access to [ACHIEVEMENT NAME] at this time” error message.

I’ve looked through the badgeos_user_has_access_to_achievement function in the rules-engine.php file and can’t seem to see any reason why it would be returning a false value.

I’ve made a little more progress…

The achievement which was returned the “No access” error message when the activity code was entered was a single achievement which was also a step for earning another achievement.

Here’s how it was setup:

Achievement A

Requires Steps (in order):

1. Login to website
2. Claim Achievement B

Achievement B
Earned by entering activity code

Correct me if I’m wrong, but my theory was that a user would be able to obtain Achievement A by firstly logging into the website and then claiming Achievement B by entering an activity code. Upon entering the code and being awarded with achievement B, the user should automatically be awarded with achievement A.

However, when entering the code for achievement B, the “No access” message was being displayed.

I went into Achievement A and removed step 2, leaving only the login step. I then re-added the second step which requires the user to claim achievement B.

Strangely, after do this, I was able to claim achievement B by entering the activity code without any problems.

Do you have any ideas what may have caused this issue?

I hope this helps – I’m guessing there could be some sort of conflict somewhere in the code?

Thanks
Richard

Do you think you could set up an achievement that is something besides “log in” + Achievement B, and see if that gives the same results of no access ? Perhaps “comment on a post” + Achievement B. Curious if the log in part isn’t counting towards the same overall “progress” tracking we have.

Michael,

Thanks for your reply.

I’ve just tested it with the following scenarios:

1. Set up achievement A and achievement B
To earn achievement A, user must:
a) Comment on a post
b) Earn achievement B (which can be claimed by activity code)

2. Set up achievement A, achievement B and achievement C
To earn achievement A, user must:
a) Earn achievement B (which is admin-awarded only)
b) Earn achievement C (which can be claimed by activity code)

Both test cases worked as expected and the user was automatically awarded with the correct achievement after completing the steps required.

So, perhaps your theory about the log-in not counting is correct?
Thanks
Richard

I wouldn’t necessary say it’s not counting, it’s likely getting logged, the question is if it’s getting associated with the right group of steps for a specific achievement.

I’m honestly going to file this as a bug so that we can investigate internally. Your example setups above will be more than helpful so we can recreate as necessary. So thank you for your details. ??
