Ajax popup to notify user that he/she received an achievement or received points

Does Auto Messages or this forthcoming add-on (or any existing hooks perhaps) allow for sending an email notification to users when they complete a specific achievement? I want to be able to notify users via email each time they reach certain point thresholds (“Levels”). Each level notification needs unique email content. Thanks for your help!

You could tap into the following action hook and likely achieve what you need with a little bit of work gtrout.

do_action( 'badgeos_award_achievement', $user_id, $achievement_id, $this_trigger, $site_id, $args );

You’d want to fetch the email for the user with the provided user ID, check which achievement was awarded with the achievement_id, which is going to be a post in a post type, so WP post object information will apply. $args, I’m not quite sure what all is going to be in there, so you may need to inspect what comes in at that point.

Hope this gives you some ideas of how to go about this ??

Thanks for your help, Michael. I was able to customize the email notifications, but I’m still having trouble with achievements earned with a “Minimum Number of Points”. No matter what I do, I can’t get those achievements to send out an email notification to the user indicating that they have earned the badge. Any ideas? Thanks again.

What are you trying now, or have tried, with regards to the minimum points email? Are you somehow tapping into the action I mentioned above for this?

I’ve replaced the set_submission_status_submission_approved filter with my own that doesn’t send emails:

remove_filter( 'badgeos_notifications_submission_approved_messages', 'badgeos_set_submission_status_submission_approved');
add_filter( 'badgeos_notifications_submission_approved_messages', 'gcl_set_submission_status_submission_approved', 10, 2 );

And then I’ve created a filter for badgeos_award_achievement that sends a customizable email for each achievement:
add_filter('badgeos_award_achievement','gcl_send_award',10,5);

But emails are still not being generated for my achievement type Levels, earned by a minimum number of points. The achievements are being awarded (users can see them in the backend, but no emails are going out, with default filters or my own.

I can’t ever guarantee that wp_mail() will actually send stuff, you can just hope that it happens and code for it to hopefully happens.

In the callbacks that need to check if a minimum point threshold has been passed, I’d recommend badgeos_get_users_points() to fetch a user’s current point total, and email if appropriate.

Michael, wanted to say something unrelated, when you guys post new version, can you include in the change log whats in that version. I always only see up to the previous version whats in the change log. Thanks.

We do update the changelog in two places for the plugin’s readme.txt. Why the changelog tab here on the plugin page is only showing 1.4.1 is something beyond my knowledge. It’s something I noted earlier internally, and that’s not in our control.

We have the following in both the “Changelog” section and “Upgrade Notice” section of the readme.txt

= 1.4.2 =
* Updated: Achievement Types now support menu ordering.
* Fixed: Eliminated a fatal error in the nomination saving process.
* Fixed: Updated submission manager role setting to correctly show the selected value.
* Fixed: Additional hardening for achievement-type migration so that it doesn't happen prematurely due to autosave.

So, not sure what’s up with it not showing through properly, but I wish I did. I believe we’ve had other cases of the plugins page ui not showing accurate information despite what’s in our files before.

Hello Michael,

Do you have date for that pop up plugin availible for BadgeOS?
You posted that: “We’re close to done with a product for this, but we’re putting finishing touches before we release.” 3 months ago, so could you give an update.

Personally for me that is the only thing that stops me from using BadgeOS:(

I do not, and I wish I did. It’s something that’s in the hands of Credly, as it’s their product. So it’s up to them for when to publish it and make it available in their store at badgeos.org.

Keep an eye on https://badgeos.org/add-ons/ as I’m sure that’s where it’ll be posted once available. Once I know it’s available, I’ll try to loop back to here or see about posting some sort of announcement thread for it

I consulted with my colleagues on the core BadgeOS team, and I learned that the new add-on that addresses this feature set has advanced significantly; it is in private beta. As I mentioned, I will update the thread here when it is available for wide release.

I would love to see that feature ??

What is the current way to show a user that he just earned a badge ?
Any pop up, jquery, prompt or other tricks before this very promising Ajax ? ??

I’m subscribing to this topic. Michael, I’m looking forward to seeing what you guys have come up with. Any chance I can get in on your beta? I’m developing an intranet site for a corporate client and this is one feature that was part of the scope brief for this.

Live feedback is a feature that will really make a difference in the adoption rate of the new intranet within the organization.

No new information at this time.
