Explanation of Karma?

I too am looking for a way to quickly change “karma” to “points”. Is it a variable I can quickly change?

Hey there, thanks for the feedback.

1. True.
2. Also true, but will improve in future. The achievement page for each user doesn’t show points yet: e.g. https://example.com/archives/author/%5Badmin%5D/achievements
3. I suggest something like this for now, until I get produce more documentation about custom templates (and the consequences of): https://blog.ftwr.co.uk/archives/2010/01/02/mangling-strings-for-fun-and-profit/

Paul,
Thank you very much for that. However I couldn’t get that plugin to work.

 function filter_gettext($translation, $text, $domain) {
  $translations = &get_translations_for_domain( $domain );
  if ( $text == 'karma' ) {
   return $translations->translate( 'points' );
  }
  return $translation;
 }
}
add_filter('gettext', array('PJW_Translation_Mangler', 'filter_gettext'), 10, 4);

Are there more parameters i need to specify or something?

o-O

Ok, that’s pretty odd. Made a bug report https://github.com/paulgibbs/achievements/issues/69

It’s probably going to be several weeks before I can look at this.

Thank you very much ?? Looking forward to updates and the revamp of Version 3. Loving how it relies more on WordPress’ core.

Paul,

Curious as to the status of this. I see by the bug report, that it hasn’t been tackled yet, and I’m simply curious as to when you plan on looking into this more. I’d like to change the name of ‘Achievements’ and ‘Karma’. I thought about creating a faux translation file that only ‘translates’ those two keywords, however, I’ve never created translation files and I’m still not sure which of the two methods are better for this instance. Thanks in advance for the update on this bug report and any advice.
