Awarding Badges in Bulk

Resolved

(@kcurlsjr)

We’ve been tinkering with trying to grant admin-awarded badges in bulk through the WP Users screen

Started by repurposing a function for adding users to BuddyPress groups in bulk; that code can be found here.

Here is what we came up with:

function add_achievements_to_users() {
        if( isset( $_GET['action'] ) && isset( $_GET['achievement_id'] ) && isset( $_GET['users'] ) ) {
            $achievement_id = $_GET['achievement_id'];
            $users = $_GET['users'];

            foreach ( $users as $user_id ) {
				badgeos_award_achievement_to_user($achievement_id, $user_id);
            }
        }
        //form submission
        add_action( 'admin_footer', function() { ?>
            <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
                jQuery("select[name='action']").append(jQuery('<option value="awardachievement">Award Achievement</option>'));
                jQuery("#doaction").click(function(e){
                    if(jQuery("select[name='action'] :selected").val()=="awardachievement") { e.preventDefault();
                        achievementid=prompt("Enter an Achievement ID","1");
                        jQuery(".wrap form").append('<input type="hidden" name="achievement_id" value="'+achievementid+'" />').submit();
                    }
                });
            </script>
        <?php
        });
}
add_action ( 'load-users.php', 'add_achievements_to_users' );

The problem is that the badge is awarded twice (we think, but aren’t sure because all our badges can only be earned once). However, 2 activity feed items are created.

Anyone have any thoughts on what’s going on?

Interesting solution you have there, and at least from the looks of it, would work for what it’s worth.

I do have to wonder if the achievements you’re awarding have steps that are similarly or same named as the achievements they’re associated with, and what you’re actually seeing is the step + the achievement.

You should be able to click to the editor for each, and determine there if one is a step or not.

kcurlsjr, great suggestion. This is exactly what I was looking for, I am testing it out and so far it looks promising. Thanks to you and Michael Beckwith.

So I ran into the same problem as kcurlsjr, my awards were being added to the user’s profile twice. I found a fix, it might be a bit hacky so proceed with caution, I am just getting started with this plugin and need to be able to do a few things before I choose it as our solution. So I am only working with test data. I am not worried about ruining my test data, you should be cautious with your data.

I found a function called badgeos_process_user_data in the fie user.php, it called the function badgeos_award_achievement_to_user and then it redirected afterwards.
```
// Award the achievement
badgeos_award_achievement_to_user( absint( $_GET['achievement_id'] ), absint( $_GET['user_id'] ) );
// Redirect back to the user editor
wp_redirect( add_query_arg( 'user_id', absint( $_GET['user_id'] ), admin_url( 'user-edit.php' ) ) );
exit();
```
So I tried the same thing and redirected back to the user list in wp-admin and it seems to be working. Here is the full function I added to my theme. I am curious to know why this works?
```
function add_achievements_to_users() {
        if( isset( $_GET['action'] ) && isset( $_GET['achievement_id'] ) && isset( $_GET['users'] ) ) {
            $achievement_id = $_GET['achievement_id'];
            $users = $_GET['users'];
            foreach ( $users as $user_id ) {
		badgeos_award_achievement_to_user(absint( $achievement_id ), absint ($user_id ));
            }
	wp_redirect( home_url('/wp-admin/users.php') );
	exit();
        }
        //form submission
        add_action( 'admin_footer', function() { ?>
            <script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">
                jQuery("select[name='action']").append(jQuery('<option value="awardachievement">Award Achievement</option>'));
                jQuery("#doaction").click(function(e){
                    if(jQuery("select[name='action'] :selected").val()=="awardachievement") { e.preventDefault();
                        achievementid=prompt("Enter an Achievement ID","1");
                        jQuery(".wrap form").append('<input type="hidden" name="achievement_id" value="'+achievementid+'" />').submit();
                    }
                });
            </script>
        <?php
        });
}
```
