Is anyone using the WPAchievements plugin with Simple:Press? If so, does anyone happen to know a way that I can display users' ranks on posts under their names in the forum?
Thanks.

It's been a while since I looked at it but I assume it has some sort of template tag or available function that can be called to display what you want so it should be easy enough to add it into the Simple:Press page template. So - do you know what the call is and how to use it?

Some of that might be beyond my capabilities. I know ranks can be displayed with Wordpress shortcodes. Will that work?

We can help you with it - have no fear!
I am not sure about using shortcodes in this way but I can check up for you. Template tags would be better and simpler... Will need to get back to you...

Where are you funding information on shortcodes please? I don't see anything that mentions them...

I copy and pasted all the shortcodes into a Word document and shared it here:

Let me know if you have trouble accessing it.
Thanks!

Not sure I follow where this was heading, but will try...
so you want it under the username in the topic view? so find the spTopicView.php template file in the wp theme you are using and edit it... the user name is displayed with this template tag:
sp_PostIndexUserName('tagClass=spPostUserName spCenter');
so you will want to output it after that... you will want to add code similar to this:
echo do_shortcode("[shortcode]");but instead of shortcode, use the one you want to display the rank with... perhaps
echo do_shortcode("[wpa_rank_achievements]");with the needed arguments..
as always, we strongly recommend you create a child theme or your own theme rather than edit our themes since your changes will be overwritten if you update our themes...

Hmmm...the actual process works but there seems to be no way to link the users in the forum with the shortcodes. What I mean is that I can use a shortcode to display the logged in user's rank but not the ranks of all the other users because I don't know how to tell it who's rank to pull. Does that make sense?
The shortcode will accept a user ID though. Is there a way to make this a variable that simple:press can understand?

It depends where you are putting this. If ot goes on the topic view page (posts) on tbhe left where the avatar etc., is then you can use:
$spThisPostUser->ID
which will return the user ID of the author of the post.
