Hi Michael,

I have been able to get everything going. When I set each badge on a page, it settled the sign in issue, so that wasn’t a part of the Widget after all.

This is not a network install. I read up on that a little and am wondering if we could even use that scenario to set up each campus privately.

I have found a good informational set of pages and will do my research before I ask further questions. I appreciate your help.

Didn’t I read somewhere that I can’t stack shortcodes one to the other in this plugin?

Wait, this does not include the submission/approval piece. I’m going to work on that first.

Kept messing around with the code and got it!
Now the widget issue.

THanks! I used that but didn’t get anything; I mean I am a step further because the top of the page does have the code, but I am not getting the badge and submission form.

Michael,
Again, I appreciate the feedback and it has cleared up some issues.
I have worked on this on and off all day, and made some progress:
I now have a page in my site that displays all the badges in our system.
You can click on one of the badges and land on a ‘page’ is is actually just a slug (I think) which might allow you to submit material to earn a badge.

I also activated the widget (sort of) to allow an individual to see their set of badges [earned].

Here are the problems now:

I think that I should set up individual pages for each of the badges in order that learners can submit easily. However, I can’t seem to land on the correct shortcode to make that happen. I have been over the videos and the shortcode page in BadgeOS at least a dozen times, and am beginning to feel like a slow learner. (btw, if you have any connection with the BadgeOS guys tell them to get their videos updated so a user can stop and back up to replay a portion without having to listen to the WHOLE piece. ugh!!!!!!!)

I have set the widget in place to allow the user of our system to see their set of badges (earned), but somehow you are supposed to be able to connect that to email address and I don’t get how you set that up.
I asked a colleague to try to submit so that he could be approved for a badge, and he said it won’t let him in. The message is “you must be logged in to view earned achievements.

My final goal:

display the set of badges (done)
display per user earned badges
display per campus earned badges –of users on that campus
allow users to submit via site
allow admin to easily approve via site.

Thanks for any help you have.

Thank you for your reply! We were into the 4th weekend, so I am just now responding.

Here is the 360,000 foot view:

I have a wordpress site established for users in various school districts.
I also have CMS running for each school district, which has a list of assignments that each teacher is to do in order to earn a badge (over 3 years).
I want to set up a group of badge earners (each district) in such a way that the members of the district can see the earner results. It would be best if I could keep this private to the individual districts.

Here is what I have done so far:

Downloaded and activated BadgeOS. Named and uploaded two badges per the instructions.
Downloaded and activated Stack on and Community (which are add ons to BadgeOS)
Downloaded and activated BuddyPress.
Opened a Credly acct, added a badge and awarded it to two individuals.

Here is where I am stuck:

I don’t really see the 4 plugins working together.
I do see how to award a badge via Credly; but I don’t see that working within wordpress
I don’t get how wordpress (badgeOS) displays the badge(s) at all, and I wonder if it will display the earner’s names and badges upon awarding (or if that just happens in Credly).
Presently, the badge I awarded is shown on an article page, which is not a part of the site; is there supposed to be a link to the badges, a hierarchy defined?

Please let me know if I am not being clear, and I really appreciate your help. Tina
