Credly Badge Builder "edit" option not appearing in multisite

Will answer tomorrow when back from a long weekend. Thank you for your patience.

Admittedly, the Credly.com areas are one of the areas I’m not as “strong” with in the codebase. However, I am looking over the code used in the Badge Builder component. I do see calls for *_post_meta() and attachments, so logically it makes sense that we’d need to make sure that with the duplication, the posts, post meta, and uploads are part of the cloning.

Not sure regarding the editing previously created badges, and making slight edits. That should still work, the best I can think of at the moment, as long as the posts and post meta table are part of the clone.

Definitely some cases of things that we haven’t officially catered to to ensure ease of accomplishment, pun intended.

I’ve cloned over everything – posts, post meta, included and am not getting that edit badge ability. I agree, that logically, it seems like I should be able to.

If anyone else reading this has BadgeOS running on multisite and has been able to get this to work, please let me know! ??

This is the “Use Credly Badge Builder” in the achievement post editor right?

Do you have Credly integration enabled?
Do you have the “Use Credly Badge Builder” link showing up at all? If yes, what happens when you click it?

Yes, that’s right. And yes, Credly integration.

I have two different things happening.

On the main site, on the achievement post editor, I see two options underneath the featured image of an already created badge – “edit with credly badge builder” or “remove image”.

BUT, on a clone of the exact same site, the “edit with credly badge builder” option does not appear. I can remove the image, and then I am given the option to use Credly Badge Builder and can recreate the badge from scratch. So, it’s not that badge builder isn’t working at all on the subsites – it’s still there and functional. It’s just not letting me edit previously made badges.

When users sign up for a site on my network, I have their site pre-populated with a selection of badges. My users are wanting to make slight edits to what they already have and are expressing frustration that they have to recreate the badge just for a small change.

I’ve done some testing, as the badge builder isn’t an area I’ve spent extensive time with, and found that there are specific postmeta keys/values that are created to go along with the the attachment that is getting created. Unless I’m mistaken, these are pairs that go on the *attachment* that gets created and set as the image, based on the IDs I’m seeing in the database.

The two keys are: _credly_badge_meta, _credly_icon_meta

An example from the values stored for both:

_credly_badge_meta

a:3:{s:12:"packagedData";a:3:{s:7:"icon_id";s:4:"3771";s:8:"iconstub";s:10:"pencil-347";s:4:"meta";a:11:{s:5:"shape";s:22:"hexagonal-shield-badge";s:11:"banner-text";s:11:"Blank Slate";s:6:"border";s:5:"solid";s:11:"shape-color";s:7:"#ffffff";s:10:"icon-color";s:7:"#000000";s:12:"border-color";s:7:"#000000";s:12:"banner-color";s:7:"#c3c3c3";s:17:"banner-text-color";s:7:"#ffffff";s:13:"expires_units";s:5:"never";s:14:"expires_amount";s:1:"1";s:11:"custom_icon";s:1:"0";}}s:5:"image";s:89:"https://credlyapp.s3.amazonaws.com/badges/standalone/b793635446b5da78d3204e93cc5a8502.png";s:12:"iconMetadata";a:4:{s:9:"attribute";s:16:"The Noun Project";s:7:"license";s:42:"Creative Commons - Attribution (CC BY 3.0)";s:4:"noun";s:6:"Pencil";s:4:"npid";s:3:"347";}}

_credly_icon_meta:

a:4:{s:9:"attribute";s:16:"The Noun Project";s:7:"license";s:42:"Creative Commons - Attribution (CC BY 3.0)";s:4:"noun";s:6:"Pencil";s:4:"npid";s:3:"347";}

Both are serialized, which is why it looks a bit odd, but when you do something like get_post_meta, it’ll return arrays for you. As you can see, it has data that describes the badge being designed.

I have to wonder if your site cloning is finding these values and if they’re associated with the right thing, which is a media gallery attachment.

You’re onto something here. The attachment (image) itself is getting copied over, but perhaps the badge & icon meta is not copying over or is copied but no longer associated.

Curious if the meta values ultimately get associated with the achievement by way of the attachment which has the post parent of the achievement.

Achievement ID: 2
Attachment ID: 5
Attachment Parent ID: 2
credly keys above associated with Attachment ID: 5
