Changing "People who have earned this" display

Definitely commend you for opening up the core files to look around and see what’s available, however I highly recommend against editing the core files themselves.

The better approach here is going to be to use the following filter found in badgeos_get_achievement_earners_list_user function, like you found with the community addon.

I’d need a login and probably with some achievements awarded to the user to see the actual results that are occurring. However I wager it has CSS affecting it, and that’s where I’d be looking first for this case.

Thanks for your quick response.

Looking at the page source, the returned nicknames are ending up before the UL with class “badgeos-achievement-earners-list” in the DOM, which is where I would expect they’d land. Yet I clearly am just bumbling around here, so I am not surprised I got it wrong. (I’m completely serious, not sarcastic!)

I did try to make a custom function and use add_filter in my functions.php file, cross-referencing the BadgeOS Action and Filter Hooks Guide with the core files and the WordPress codex… but it’s just not coming together for me. I think I will probably just omit the list of earners, since I am kind of lost.

Just to be certain, you’re returning and not echo’ing, correct?

Yes, just like the quoted code above. ??

But I think I figured it out. I added this code to my functions.php:

function kb_display_earners( $user_content, $user_id ) {
	$user = new BP_Core_User( $user_id );
	return '<li><a href="' .  $user->user_url . '">' . bp_core_get_user_displayname( $user_id ) . '</a></li>';
}
add_filter( 'badgeos_get_achievement_earners_list_user', 'kb_display_earners', 10, 2 );

So I’m using bp_core_get_user_displayname( $user_id ) instead of the_author_meta( ‘nickname’ , $user->ID ), which seems to work.

Though it only seems to be showing SOME users…

To be specific, it appears to only show users which I specifically added to the WordPress site from the dashboard as an administrator. It does not list any users who registered through the BuddyPress integrated signup. Oof.

Curious if the BP_Core_User() stuff isn’t always returning results like expected. I’d need to dive in and debug what conditions would cause that, as I don’t know off the top of my head.

Are you getting empty markup for some and completed markup other times?

I’m getting completed markup for users which I’ve added manually to the WP site (it’s a sub-site of a WP multisite) but nothing for users registered from the sign up page (https://westmontlibrary.org/inventyoursummer/sign-up/) and successfully activated by email.

Those users registered from the sign up page CAN earn achievements, and their achievements show up on both their Profile page and in the “My Achievements” widget.

Also, users who are registered on other sites in the network CAN earn achievements, but they also do not show up in the “Users Who Have Earned This” list. I checked, and all the users have a Nickname associated with them.

Here’s an example page:
https://westmontlibrary.org/inventyoursummer/badge/wild-child/ The three users listed were manually added to the WP site by me from the dashboard. None of the other users who earned it show up.

Thank you for your continued help.

Ahhhhh that’s a big clue there. The fact that it’s a network site. Achievements aren’t network-wide, they’re local to the site they were created in, because of the fact that they’re post type based. Each site in the network gets their own posts/postmeta tables.

We don’t have the best network support because of things like this. We need to find a way to better integrate and collect necessary data for display.

So is it a lost cause then? If there’s any other information I can provide, let me know.

In case it helps, BadgeOS, BadgeOS Community AddOn, and BuddyPress are all activated on the subblog only, not network activated. (I also set that blog as the BuddyPress site ID per this page on the BP codex. I may also try the “Put profiles in the root” option to see if that helps.)

More info, which may or may not be helpful: I can get all member names for the achievement (users added by me AND self-registered) by running a custom query like thus:

$testquery = new WP_Query( array (
	'post_type' => 'submission',
	'meta_query' => array(
		array(
			'key'     => '_badgeos_submission_achievement_id',
			'value'   => '158',
			'compare' => '=',
		),
	),
	'posts_per_page' => -1,

) );

Well, the biggest issue is that the code needs to gather/query ALL of the information it needs to render everything before moving on to a different site or returning back to the start to finish the output. If there needs to be more queries based on achievements from a specific sub-site, making that query from the wrong sub-site will return empty or inaccurate results.

We need to audit and look the network-wide settings and make sure it’s doing what we need it to, accurately, and I’m not sure we’re there as much as we may have believed in the past.
