Multiple versions of [badgeos_achievements_list] on page (any update?)

The bug you mention was not related to this multiple shortcodes on the same page issue, as the bugfix was fixing the [badgeos_achievement] shortcode and giving it a unique ID. Putting two [badgeos_achievements_list] shortcode on the same page still has the issues, and it’s all ajax related.

I recall someone achieving, pun intended, some success with multiple shortcodes in a tab-based page setup. I wager because of that situation, and likely there only being one `badgeos_achievements_list html container displayed per tab, it worked, despite it feeling like most of the page not changing.

Do you see any downside to me creating duplicates of the [badgeos_achievements_list] shortcode? And what I’m really asking here is if you think that would work. I’m thinking something like:

1. Copy /shortcodes/badgeos_achievements_list.php and change all instances of badgeos_achievements_list to badgeos_achievements_list_2 (including the name of the file).
2. Modify shortcodes.php to include the new shortcodes.
3. Spend the rest of the day debugging.

I realize that it will make upgrading BadgeOS problematic for me.

Why not make your own separate plugin that adds your own shortcode version and uses the same functions and whatnot that BadgeOS provides.

No need to worry about breaking your customizations upon BadgeOS updates.

Yes, that does seem like a better solution. But I’m having trouble with the quick and dirty solution. It seems like I should attempt that first.

My quick attempt at creating another shortcode is not playing well with the rest of the codebase. If I use my own shortcode, it displays the same behaviour as commenting out this line in the original shortcode:

$GLOBALS[‘badgeos_achievements_list’] = true;

So I haven’t fixed the problem by creating a similar shortcode yet. It seems that I’ve missed changing whatever is being used as an ID for the original shortcode.

That part you commented out is simply the way we check for if we’re acting on something.

The rest is going to be in badgeos-achievements.js and the ajax-functions.php file.

For some quick background on why it was done this way. While you have a set amount of times you want to use the shortcode in one page, BadgeOS would need to find a way to do it with an unpredictable amount of times. We went this route, at least for the time being, with preventing more than one.

Just wanted to add a final note to this. It was beyond my ability to create another shortcode that duplicated the [badgeos_achievements_list] functionality.

I did contact the person who was attempting to get around the limitation using a tabbed interface, and it turns out that that solution didn’t work for them.

I also tried a plugin that lets you pull in content from separate pages into one page, but that didn’t help either.

Ultimately, I just added links to separate pages for the other achievement types. Anyone interested can see that here:

Michael, thanks for your help.
