Thanks!

Got me to thinking, I wonder if there’s a good way to pull the position number for the current logged in user separately outside of the table. I’d like to put it above the table to save users the trouble from scrolling through a long table to find their name, since I expect we’ll have over a thousand participants this summer.

A big +1 for this. Categories means I can display a sweet, filterable achievement catalog like this for my users via Themefluent’s Ajax Content Navigator, which will be handy with the 150+ achievements we’re going to have (just 3 sample ones loaded right now). Kudos to you!

Thanks for the disclaimer Mike, and for your contributions.

I’m working up a beta for my project to test internally in May/June, so even rough/buggy code is helpful to give my testers an idea of what kind of functionality might be possible, even if it gets reworked by you/Paul later.

I think if we have some sort of achievement taxonomy in place, you’d want to show the last achievement earned within a chosen taxonomy. Could be levels, ranks, titles, etc.

Without a taxonomy, I think the last badge earned is a good default.

Ah! Beautiful. Everything appears to be sorting properly. I did notice that the rank column resets at each new page advance, as its numbering only that list of users for the given page.

Excellent work Mike!

Pagination works great but for some reason its not sorting by karma value. Looking closer at the sort order, I can’t really tell by what value it is sorting, as there doesn’t appear to be any pattern.

Also, how much trouble would it be to add a numerical rank as a column for each user, so a person could see, “hey, I’m number 43 on the leaderboard right now”?

Thanks Mike! A leaderboard is one of the last pieces I need for a project I’m launching at the end of the month. Anything you could offer would be greatly appreciated!

This might work for what I need in the short term. I only need the username, avatar, and points columns, but I wonder, as you have it set up it sorts by when the user registered. How would I have the table sort by points instead, descending in value, in the traditional leaderboard fashion?

Just want to add that I’ve experienced the same persistent pop-up on my development site. The pop-up can be cleared, but every time a user visits a new page they’re immediately presented with the last pop-up they received. The pop-up cannot be cleared by clicking outside the pop-up when visiting a buddypress page such as a member profile or activity however. Visiting the page for that specific achievement by clicking on its featured image will clear the pop-up from reoccurring. Let me know if any further information would be helpful for addressing this.

Many thanks Figotech. You can reach me at pmcvicker “@” piercecountylibrary.org .

Hi Figotech. Before Buddypress.org rebuilt their site I tried getting in touch with you to see what you managed to cook up with these url encoded badge awards. I’ve been talking with Paul for a bit about building such a function into the Achievements plugin itself, though perhaps you may have already done some of this work already. Willing to share?
