Hey,

I just installed the achievements plugin on both WP and SP. The instructions are almost non-existent. I want to offer my forum members a way to earn badges/icons/thumbnails with points. I put the achievements widget in place but have no idea how to get the photo grid to show. Is anyone using this plugin? Do I need another plugin for the grid?

Yes Mr Papa, part of the achievements plugin. A widget.

  • On another point. I would love more SP events for example:
  • One year anniversary. Options for reoccurring anniversaries.....
  • 100 posts, 500 posts, 1000..... etc.
  • Creating a determined number of topics.

Don't know who created the two SP achievements but there are so many fewer options than BBPress, BuddyPress, BuddyStream.....
The only two for SimplePress right now are:

  • User creates a new topic reply
  • User creates a new forum topic

well, it will over time... it was recently added as a basic first step... we have primarily supported cubepoints, but its pretty much abandoned, so then we queried users and most wanted was mycred... so we supported that...  its still quite active and our primary focus... recently a user asked for wp achievements and we whipped out what you see primarily as a proof of concept and starting point...  from an add on perspective, its the worst of the three... does not have a good api and tough to add stuff... but it can be done, just not as easily as the others...  so we do hope to add more stuff some day...

myCred is the answer then. :)

I installed it but I would LOVE support for the badges. Is anyone interested in doing that? My users are asking for awards when they post videos or participate in projects. I would love to have that in effect. :)

I'm interested in exactly what you mean by support for the badges... do you mean awards/events tied to or triggered by achieving certain badge ranks? Or are you thinking of a specific graphic design for various levels of badges? THAT, I actually COULD help with!!

Thanks for your offer Anise,

I would need the graphics too eventually, but first we need a system for awards tied to achieving goals or what have you....
I run a violin learning site called "Fiddlerman.com" and the members sometimes post videos of themselves playing, start what they call "Parties" where everyone plays the same tune.... We have virtual group projects, etc..... I want to give graphic badges, awards, metals, etc... that the users would strive to achieve and have visible for all to see on their profile.
