Displaying Earned Badges in Buddypress profile/Shortcode

    Greetings Credly and Badge OS team / Community.

    First of all, brilliant plugin and service. I’ve been seeking this EXACT
    solution for an upcoming site launch, and you guys knocked this out of the park. SO keep it up!

    I’ve been testing on a mock site, and there is just ONE thing I am
    struggling with.

    Using WP and Buddypress, I am struggling to find a way to either locate a page, or to find a ‘profile field’ or shortcode that allows me to display to a user the achievements/badges they have earned, without just showing the entire listing of badges and achievements in one huge page (Both earned and unearned)

    Is there a way to accomplish this? I know you have a widget that shows
    earned achievements. Unfortunately, in our theme, the ‘text’ displayed
    next to the badge earned in that widget causes the text to line wrap, which looks pretty unappealing. In addition, having it limited solely to a widget removes a lot of customization potential, in my humble opinion.

    So, is there a shortcode or other method of showing a users earned badges within a page, OR (preferably) as a “profile field” in buddypress?

    Could this feature be developed out, if it’s not already in existence and I am simply glossing over it?

    I appreciate your help.

    Thanks!

    This is something I’ve concocted and proposed to be included in the plugin, but it hasn’t been a-okay’d, so I’m prefixing for you just in case it does get added in the future. That way you won’t get fatal errors upon update.

    With the right filter, you could display it on the BuddyPress page you want with do_shortcode(), or anywhere else.

    Thanks for your reply Michael!

    Although, I have to admit, not being a coder myself I am not really sure what to do with that in order to integrate it into the current plugin?

    Is that github code added to the badgeos.php?

    If so, I am assuming then the code to display this new function in a page/widget/etc would be [prefix_badgeos_user_achievements_shortcode] or [custom_badgeos_user_achievements]?

    I’d add it to your theme’s functions.php file or so. Not the BadgeOS plugin itself.

    You would then use it with the [custom_badgeos_user_achievements] that you mentioned at the end.

    It’ll have 3 parameters available: user, type, and limit

    Example to show the badges info for the current user browsing the site:

    [custom_badgeos_user_achievements type="badges" limit="15"]

    Example to show for a specific user

    [custom_badgeos_user_achievements user="tmj31" type="badges" limit="15"]

    Hopefully that makes sense and gives you ideas of where to use it and how.

    Let me know if you have any other questions.

    Hi, Michael,
    I’m trying your recomendations but got ‘fatal error’.
    Cannot redeclare prefix_badgeos_user_achievements_shortcode()

    Do you have some trick?

    thanks

    Somewhere in your install is a function that’s already named “prefix_badgeos_user_achievements_shortcode” which is odd, unless you’ve applied the same thing some other way.

    Find one of the instances and rename the function name and any currently attempted uses of it, and the error should go away.
