Points Per Achievement?

    I have a site with more than one course and there is an idea of acquiring points inside each course.

    There can still be a “total” number of points but I wanted to know if anyone knows of a way to create points, specific to a given Achievement.

    You have _____ Total Points

    You have _____ Achievement FOO points so far

    You have ____ Achievement BAR points so far.

    Could the points be saved to the user_meta with an additional key?

    Add __ points to User with achievement_foo

    Add __ points to user with achievement_bar

    When trying to see how many points a user has – query user points where key is user points_achievement or similar?

    hmmm….

    I guess another workaround would be to not actually add up points, but “fake them.”

    Like — Course A — you need 100 points to unlock the Badge 1.

    Do step 1 — 50 “points”

    Do step 2 — 50 “points”

    Badge 1 requires steps 1 & 2….

    Could I then actually assign Step 1 and Step 2 each 50 points, and have it go to their entire total (across all courses?) I bet I could…

    hmmm

    Anyway – I suppose you can mark this resolved but will leave here in case anyone else thinking of this same problem and wants to chip in some thoughts.

    Idea 1 would have some custom data saving and whatnot, but with a thought out enough plan, I don’t see why you couldn’t get something done for it.

    Idea 2 sounds possible already with what’s available to you out of the box. The only detail I can think of that may be a difficulty is the steps+points part. If you set up an achievement type that’s not just a step that earns you Badge 1 instead, then it’d be doable. Points would be added to their overall total, unless you wire up your own point setup for separation.
