Hidden to user not working

    Hi there;

    I have created a separate achievement type where i intend to create some achievements to award only points to user, so i can create a badge that is awarded when the user have reached a total sum of points.

    On the Achievement Type i have NOT checked “Activity Posts” and “Profile Achievements”.

    Then i created a new achievement of this type and set a number of points awarded. I have NOT checked “Show Earners”.

    I DO have selected “Hidden to user” on Hidden option. Then set a simple step like comment on a post.

    When i go to a post and make a comment, i get a notification that i have a new badge, the badge is visible on user profile and i can go to badge page.

    So looks to me that hidden is just not working, as i expected that just the points was silently awarded to the user profile and nothing more was alerted.

    I’m doing something wrong? Is there another way of setting points given for acting on site that i’m not aware of?

    Thanks in advance!

    Looking through the code, we don’t use the “Hidden to user” feature very much. The one place I’m seeing it used at all is in the ajax callback that is used for the [badgeos_achievements_list] shortcode.

    That said, it’s understandable that it’d be a bit confusing as to what exactly it does, and it sounds like it’s coming off as it should hide the fact everywhere that earned achievements may be displayed at. Just not a case of how things are set up at the moment.

    Michael, i’m not sure that i got this, but it’s ok.

    So, please, can you help me to understand how am i supposed to award just points to a user for his interactions, instead of a badge?

    Example;

    10 points for every comment on a post.
    1 point for every login.

    Award a badge when a user get 100 points. (that part i got, its a badge for total points)

    I do not believe we have it set up, as is, to do just points and not an accompanying associated achievement. Just not something planned for.

    We do have this function available:

    function badgeos_update_users_points( $user_id = 0, $new_points = 0, $admin_id = 0, $achievement_id = null )

    but you’d need to wire up your own listeners to the action hooks that fire in WordPress for new comments and whatnot, and grab the user ID from those.

    We have this function used in a callback that’s attached to the badgeos_award_achievement action hook that we added, but that’s going to need the achievement to be triggered to be used.

    We have released the functionality for Hidden Achievements in our most recent release, 1.4.8.2.

    Thank you.
