Hmmm… works with TwentyTwelve theme, but it’s a no go with my WooThemes child theme. Any thoughts still?

Christian,

I appreciate your extended reply, and I truly understand the consequences of being a sole developer of such a comprehensive plugin. Furthermore, thank you for explaining the iterative process you’ve gone through for testing versions of CommentPress in different forms.

Yes, I use BuddyPress and MultiSite for my courses, with much success, I should add, due to wonderful plugins that allow me to extend the environment to match the needs of my teaching and that of my students. So, if nothing else, thanks for adding another option to the mix.

The two options you provide are enticing, but I have some problems with pushing students into another interface (another theme) to comment on the text. It’s a learner/user experience issue for me.

Anyways, I’m kind of rambling. But on a final note, I’m not sure if you’re in academia, but I imagine that you could find some significant funding to bolster this project even more from funders in the digital humanities. Let me know if you want leads.

Thanks,
~Kyle~

Take two seems to be working. Any concerns?

function badgesadminpriv() {
	global $bp;

	$current_user = wp_get_current_user();
		if ( 47 == $current_user->ID ) {
			return true;
		}
		else {
    		return false;
		}
}
add_filter( 'dpa_permission_can_user_grant', 'badgesadminpriv');

Scratch that. It was granting privileges to everyone…

Nice! Made some edits to get it to work:

function tcb_filter_caps( $grant_permission ) {
  if ( $grant_permission )
    return true;

	global $bp;
	$badgesadmin_id = get_user_by( 'user_login', 'badgesadmin' );
  	if ( $bp->loggedin_user->user_login == $badgesadmin_id )
	    return true;
}
add_filter( 'dpa_permission_can_user_grant', 'tcb_filter_caps' );

I thought that there might be a way to add another if or elseif statement that basically said if the user matched login “badgesadmin” return true.

So, maybe something like this:

$badgesadmin=get_user_by('login', 'badgesadmin');
elseif ( $bp->loggedin_user->$badgesadmin)
		return true;

I don’t know…That’s all I’ve got.

Tried that. No dice.

Thanks for the hint. Looks like one of the BP devs have even looked at this: https://buddypress.org/support/topic/more-privacy-options-private-blogs-and-activity-streams/

Thank you, Paul, for the example code to follow. It worked like a charm, and I’ll bookmark it for later projects.

That’s ok, Paul. Thanks for taking a look. Did you have any thoughts about a way to filter out the unlocked by page on single badges?

No worries if you don’t.

Have a nice weekend,
~Kyle~

Just a thought about number 1:
I think having the unlocked by page is a bit redundant due to the home/activity stream on each achievement. Is there someway to filter the unlocked page out of the nav in

<?php do_action( 'dpa_achievement_options_nav' ) ?>

of single/home.php?

Thanks,
~Kyle~

I just want to put this out there: The plugin authors have been nothing but gracious in their attention to my support requests.

Thank you for your hard work on this plugin and attention to detail.

Also from my student doing the badge development:

I popped over to the dev site and noticed that required steps appeared to be missing from tasks over there, too- but, when I checked again about 30 minutes later, the required steps had reappeared on the edit pages. This hasn’t yet been the case at the live site.

Same here. This was what I’m seeing with debug on…

In the “Required Steps” metabox:
Warning: Queries without ‘connected_type’ are no longer supported. in …/wp-content/plugins/badgeos/includes/p2p/p2p-core/query-post.php on line 16

When you click Add Step, you then see this:
incorrectly. The current user is being initialized without using $wp->init(). Please see Debugging in WordPress for more information. (This message was added in version 1.7.) in …wp-includes/functions.php on line 2962

When you try to save a step (at least with debug on), the loader gif just spins. Nothing happens.

Well….

On the live server, it is running like a champ. Not even an error notice when debug is on. Not exactly sure why that is, but I’ll take it! Still game to help you all track down the problem on my dev server or do the best I can to provide you access to the live server (not mine, so we might have issues there).
