# Learndash Trigger Select Box is Broken

 * After selecting a Learndash Trigger then selecting an item (tag, courses, etc)
   it breaks the ability to select how many times. In addition, if you then try 
   a switch the main requirement (to Comment on a post, etc.) the Learndash select-
   box stays open.
 * You also should remove any select-box that queries tags and replace it with a
   comma separated text-box. We have over 8,000 tags and those types of large requests
   can crash the server.

 * Any word on this? The plugin can not be used until this is fixed.

 * Sadly, I don’t have any specific updates on this issue. It’s been a busy week
   for the primary developers, between trying to get BadgeOS 1.4.0 release ready
   and unrelated projects taking up other time.
 * That said, I’ll do what I can to elevate this issue and see if we can get some
   more eyes on it than just mine.

 * You do realize this plugin is unusable until this is fixed, right?

 * Yes, and I wish I could get it debugged faster for you, but I don’t have the 
   right setup to debug this plugin, given that LearnDash is a premium service in
   itself.
 * Trust me, I wish things moved along faster than they have been, for more BadgeOS
   aspects than you may realize 🙂

 * Seriously? You people wrote, distribute and “support” this add-on and you are
   telling me you don’t even have the plugin installed or have access to it?

 * I never said the whole company and everyone involved didn’t. I said *I* don’t.
   I am not the original author of this plugin, but it’s part of the package of 
   support we are agreed to. Yes, this puts *me* at an inconvenience that I get 
   to deal with.

 * I can send you the plugin if they won’t.

 * I’ve reviewed the codebase and conferred with the lead developer on this add-
   on. It is intentional that we force the earning count to “1” for a handful of
   the learndash step settings due to some limitations we have in extracting data
   from learndash itself. At this moment we can only know when a *single* specific
   course/lesson is completed, we cannot validate that against the user’s full LearnDash
   history to see if multiple courses of that type were also earned.
 * The fact that the LearnDash input doesn’t go away when you select a different
   earned by setting IS a bug, and we will get that fixed. We’re still working on
   a better way to extract the earning data from LearnDash, something that will 
   help us both with this Add-on and with BadgeOS core, too.
 * I am also going to put in an enhancement request regarding implementing [http://ivaynberg.github.io/select2/](http://ivaynberg.github.io/select2/)
   with this plugin, especially for people who have a LOT of tags, and hopefully
   for those with a lot of categories. It’ll cut down on a really huge list being
   generated and rely on ajax instead. We already have some functionality in the
   core plugin that will use it, so it’ll be easy to get ahold of.

 * Github… where all support goes to die.
 * You should remove the LearnDash add-on. That little bug/misunderstanding cost
   us 2 months worth of planning. LearnDash is a hacked together LMS marketing ploy,
   nothing more.
 * BTW Support doesn’t = reply, it = fixes. So far I’ve seen zero support for this
   plugin.
 * Anyway good luck with your plugin. There is no way we can currently trust offering
   it to our members.

 * GitHub, where we don’t send support. It’s for confirmed BUGS and enhancement 
   ideas.

 * You don’t need to reply for the sake of replying. We are done here. But thanks
   for lightening the replies with comedy. 🙂
