Hi. Thanks.
Try duplicating your theme’s
page.php(or whatever page template you want to work from) and name itachievements.php. Achievements should use that template to inserts its own template parts into.Forum: Plugins

In reply to: [Achievements for WordPress] Integrating achievements with badgeOSNo. 🙂
If there’s more features in badgeOS that you want than in Achievements, I suggest you use that plugin.

In reply to: [Achievements for WordPress] Clear Karma and Achievements for all Users?You can un-assign achievements from a user by going into the wp-admin > Users > [edit user], and scroll to the bottom of the page. There will be a couple of options to set the user’s karma points total, as well as checkboxes for removing achievements from that user.
There’s no built-in way to clear karma points for all users. This sounds a bit interesting. Do you have a specific requirement in mind for such a feature?

In reply to: [Achievements for WordPress] Achievements and WP-ecommerce points integrationThe karma point value is stored in the usermeta database tables, so absolutely someone could use it to act as a currency in some kind of integration with another plugin. Anything’s possible 🙂

In reply to: [Achievements for WordPress] Award Badge to active writers of each categoryHi Sara,
The functionality that you want doesn’t exist yet. It’s pretty straightforward about just counting the number of posts, not posts within a specific category. It’s something I do want to add for a future version, and I’m beginning to loop around to spending some time figuring out how to build that.
The categories box you’re using at the moment is selecting the categories for the current *achievement* (like how you categorise regular blog posts), not setting categories for the achievement itself to act on, if that makes sense.
(It is possible to use an achievement’s category to help represent that in page templates; it was added for another site using Achievements; see http://teensummerchallenge.org/challenges/ for exactly how.)

In reply to: [Achievements for WordPress] Sort orderThanks, Bloodstripe!
Sorting for where — on the main screen? e.g. example.com/achievements/ ?

In reply to: [Achievements for WordPress] Change Karma to PointsI can point you in the right direction:
1) Look in /plugins/achievements/templates/achievements/achievements/ and look through all the files for the word you want to change.
2) Copy just the files you’ve identified into /themes/YOUR_THEME/achievements/ — where YOUR_THEME is the theme you are using, and you’ll probably need to make a new sub-directory called “achievements”. Just copy the files in there.
3) Edit those copied files in a text editor. In your case, you can just dive in and change the wording. Save the files.
That should be it.

In reply to: [Achievements for WordPress] Image size for achievements loopIf you can drop a link to your website with the problem on, I can take a look and give you some CSS to sort the image sizing out. @jonioscm’s CSS might well do the job just fine, too.

In reply to: [Achievements for WordPress] Template inheritance broken with WP 3.8.1?The template hierarchy works for me for the content-leaderboard-widget.php file just fine. Like you say, I put it in /wp-content/themes/THEME_NAME/achievements/content-leaderboard-widget.php.
Overriding files other than the CSS, JS, or templates from inside the templates folder will not work. Unless you’ve done some custom code to integrate your copy of the widget file, it won’t be doing anything. I wonder if this has something to do with you not seeing the results you’re expecting?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Achievements for WordPress] Template inheritance broken with WP 3.8.1?I also overwrote the widget file itself at:
achievements/includes/class-dpa-leaderboard-widget.php^ This won’t work, as you might have found out; only the template + CSS + JS files are able to be overriden.
EDIT: assuming you meant you put it in to your theme folder into an /achievements/ subdir. If however you’ve added a copy of the new widget programatically, ignore me 🙂
EDIT 2: let me reply better in a new post.
Yep — I promise next version will have pictures included, I agree it was an oversight from the original version (I think it was because I ran out of time)!
