What types of tutorials are needed?

How to show badges under the user avatar in bbpress. When i searched for it I found several people asking for it but no great logic answer.
I have done this and can provide som code on how I did it.

Any sort of gist/pastebin/code share would be appreciated Sikth. I can add it to my notes.

To clarify that example specifically, it’s half fetching the right information from BadgeOS, half knowing what part of bbPress is needed to be hooked into.

If by showing badges you mean to display a row of badge images beside the persona’s profile image or directly below their image and above the profile menu tabs that would be awesome!

Also, for the Leader board, does it show points only or can it show badges earned, too?

Noted on the first part.

The Leaderboard addon can show based on achievements as well, but do note that it’s going to show the ranking based on amount of achievements earned, not necessarily just displaying the achievement images.

I would be happy to help you make some tutorial videos like with the issue I am having now. I will post it in the forum.

My plan was for typed out tutorials, but if you want to contribute some videos, I’m fine with that.

Technical tutorials are fine. But for me it will be nice to get overview of real production systems. Their badge system, levels, messages, and etc. Maybe some design tricks.

So combination of BadgeOS framework with all plugins and Gamification implementation for real scenarios.

That’s an area I have the least experience in. I fancy myself more on the technical/dev side. I’m rarely ever part of any implementation sides.

Hi Michael, thanks for the great plugin, I am having a lot of fun trying it out!

I would like to see a tutorial on how to properly set up the BadgeOs system with WPML for multi language sites.

I’ve found a lot of threads and tickets from November 2014, but no documented solutions.

If you need help putting it together, let me know! I’d be glad to pitch in.

Thank you, John Paul.

That one would get interesting and complex, especially if/when meta values get translated. We store a lot of bits and pieces in post/user meta, and adding new languages makes what we have to check for, grow exponentially, unless there is a way that things can be done based on some current language setting. Regardless of that part, the amount of meta data would still grow with each language added.

I’m not saying it’s 100% impossible, it’d just be a sizable undertaking. Not sure how much I may or may not be repeating from the threads/tickets you found.

I would appreciate a tutorial on setting up BadgeOS with Multisite and Buddypress. It would be nice if it were explained what the inherent nature of the plugin, what can and can’t be done without customization. Especially in my case where I do not have a blog farm type of setup, but run Buddypress across network.

Mulling over that one.

Awwe well after about a month of R&D and my own testing I think just a short FAQs type of tutorial would be fine just to shorten the learning curve. It need not too in-depth.

I think I said it in a different thread by you, but BadgeOS is just not architectured to be one instance network-wide thing due to reliance on post types and each site having their own posts table. We do have some functionality in place to try and query across all for a user’s cumulative achievements but that’s about it.

Community addon adds new triggers for BP/bbP based activity, posts some data to a user’s timeline, and provides an “Achievements” tab in their user profile. That’s the bulk of it that I can recall at the moment. Anything beyond those is going to fall more into the custom solution area.
