Achievements issue

    Hello,

    First of all, congrats for this plugin.
    I think i found an issue, in fact when I list all of achievements I created on my website, when someone earn an achievement, other members/guests get the achievement as “active”. Or maybe it’s a misunderstanding of the setup I made.
    When I listed the list. For all users, and non connected users, if the achievement was earned by a member, this one is “set” as active on the list. The opacity is 1 for all even if they do not earn this achievement.

    You can see this on my website (on “Badges” menu) or in the second column in the widget list under the ad.

    Sorry if it’s not clear, I’m french.

    Regards,

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Hi @matt33

    [gamipress_achievements] shortcodes as GamiPress: Achievements widgets shows the achievement earned status based, by default, on the current logged in user

    But in both ways you are able to define a specific user ID, then achievements will show the earned status of this user to let you place achievements for example on an user public profile to let other know what he has earned

    The unique issue you can get (if you don’t defined a specific user ID) is that your achievements earned status are getting cached by a caching plugin (W3 Total Cache, WP Super Cache, etc)

    Keep in mind that this type of plugins will store the HTML of every page, so dynamic content (like earned status based on current user) won’t be updated until cache get updated too

    If your problem comes from a caching plugin, the unique way to fix it is excluding pages with dynamic content to being cached

    Hope it helps you

    Best regards

    Hi @rubengc,

    Thanks for you reply.
    At the beginning I thought it was a cache problem, but when I delete all the cache and when I turn my browser in private, I had the same issue, when an achievement is unlocked, he is set as active in the shortcode [gamipress_achievements] for all users.

    I earned the achievement with my login, I created a new user delete cache, and I already see the achievement as active with the shortcode, it’s the same for the other users and the guests.

    Hi @matt33

    You issue is not an assets caching (CSS and JS), is an HTML caching issue

    To explain it to you, you cache plugin stores the [gamipress_achievements] output for user 1 (for example) and the rest of users are showing the HTML related to user 1

    You will find the same issue if you have a widget that shows the username of current logged in user, if user 1 logs first and you cache plugin stores the HTML that has his name, the rest of user will see the user 1 name instead of their respective names

    Clearing browser cache hasn’t effect, because browser cache (or private navigation) just affect to assets cache (CSS and JS), not HTML

    The unique way to fix it is excluding pages with dynamic content to being cached

    Best regards
