BadgeOS Points & myCred Points – Sync?

We don’t have any sort of sync integration built in with myCRED to be honest. I’m also not sure how easy it’d be to keep the two in sync, because we have our own functions that update point values and they probably have their own.

Perhaps the easiest way to handle this would be to make a custom function that queries for both plugins’ point values, adds them together, and returns the sum. After that, it’d be a case of finding out how to properly output that return value in the right spots. This method would avoid potential issues that come from trying to recalculate changing values from each plugin and figure out what should be the proper value right before a sync. Just letting them update themselves and your function comes in afterwards.

Hi Michael,

Thank you for getting back to me. I really appreciate it!

I’m perfectly fine with doing away with myCred entirely, as it’s no where near as useful as BadgeOS is for me. My question then becomes, is there a way to show the user’s points in their profile, like I can with myCred?

I’m not very good with functions and all of that. I literally have no idea how to do anything with the functions, so I want to go about this in the easiest way possible.

Thanks again!

you could use the following to display points:

function badgeos_get_users_points( $user_id = 0 ) { ... }

echo badgeos_get_users_points();

This example would echo the point total for the current user. You may have cases where you need to display the point total for the displayed user, for which you’d need to find a way to get that ID and pass it into the function. It’d return the point total for that user then.

Hello, Michael! This is related to my question. Could you show me a code that would display the users current level in their profile? Such as the one myCred uses to display their amount of points and rank

I can’t recall any one specific field we have for ranks/levels. I know we have the leaderboard addon for similar display, but that’s not itemized by user.

If you’re needing to display points and earned achievements, there should be a widget and shortcode available, though those will display what’s available for the currently logged in user. We don’t have anything still for the “displayed” user that would be good for profiles and other people visiting.

I would love the leaderboard option but in no way feel a simple coding of the sort is worth $65. But thank you.

I was just curious about displaying the logged in users rank in their buddypress profile. You can check out how mine does it here: https://rapforthemoment.com/emcees/admin/

It displays for myCred that my rank is: First Lieutenant Emcee.

Is there a template code I could use to display something like that for the current logged in users current level for badgeos?

We don’t have ranks like that. It should be pretty straightforward to do something like achievement count and point total, but no titled ranks are available in the official plugin/extensions.

Not even if I manually created over 25 different ranks with pictures and titles?

If you create your own ranks system, you’ll need to create a way to display them and where as well, but that’s outside the scope of what BadgeOS core provides.
