You're English is just fine...

So - let us see if I understand this correctly... When you create a new event (custom achievements post), then that award can only be achieved once by a user. Is that correct?

And if so then the obvious question has to be what forum actions would one want to include for selection?

For example - looking through all the available options on the bbPress support I fail to understand how most of them could qualify as part of an 'achievement'. Like 'bbp_trashed_topic' for example... Why would anyone award another user for trashing a topic? What is the purpose of that?

This particular one is an option. The author made them (I think) just to give the user alls possible options for the plugin. I am only using 2 options: reply to a forum topic and create forum topic.

Right, an achivement is only gained once. Like in - lets say a racing game. There might be an achivement in the game that says : Finish 3 Races in a row! Then you get this game achievement also only once and it is listet within your achivement list as "completed". Thats also how "Achievements" works.

Well I am glad you have explained it to me as that wasn't clear from any of the documentation I encountered although maybe I just missed it.

The basis of hooking on to the current Achievements plugin is pretty straightforward I believe. I will take a look at it - probably over this weekend coming - and get a handle on the work needed to produce something.

I seem to have something working for the two basic actions of creating a new forum topic and creating a new forum post.

Other potential actions - like creating a poll, voting in a poll, receiving thanks for a post perhaps, etc., - all actions that would be derived from SP plugins - would have to wait. But I might be able to release this base core for testing/beta pretty quickly.

David - would you be willing to give this a try if I send you a copy of the plugin? Some beta-testing would be welcomed...!

OMG! IT IS ALIIIIVVEEE! ;)

Seems to work at first glance. Now I´d just have to find, why my "Beta SP-Forum" shows "-7117 seconds ago" at freshness and then cross fingers, the bbpress->SimplePress migration tool from here works 🙂
