In reply to: [BadgeOS] Badge for commenting on specific post(s)Brian, I’m not a developer, but this is still exactly what I needed. Thanks! I’ve been able to hack together other things in the past using trial and error, and with these resources, I’m confident I can do it again. (That may frighten you, but I’ve surprised myself before on what I’ve been able to figure out.)
Thanks a ton!

In reply to: [BadgeOS] Badge for commenting on specific post(s)Michael,
Neither Sensei or LearnDash do what I’m hoping to accomplish, on top of being quite expensive. Here’s what I’m trying to do:
Basically, I have a series of articles (created, for example, using Organize Series).
I want a user to receive a badge for (1) having read an article, (2) having completed a quiz for that article (perhaps, for example, a quiz created using WP-Pro-Quiz), and (3) having contributed to the ensuing discussion in the comments. I want a badge to be triggered for having completed each of these three events on a given article.
Then I want a user to receive a badge for having done this with every article in the series, and to be able to view what they have completed and what they haven’t.
Neither Sensei or LearnDash has everything I need to do this. For example, neither of them will require users to comment on an article before “completing” a module. Further, the user interface and design for both of them is clumsy and difficult to follow.
If I could just customize the kinds of events that trigger badges in BadgeOS, I could do this using BadgeOS alone (it’s really a simple setup), but I don’t know how to do that.

In reply to: [BadgeOS] Badge for commenting on specific post(s)On the BadgeOS website, there’s this gem: “Looking to relate badges and achievement opportunities to existing blog posts? There are plugins for that, too.”
Fantastic! But where? I’m assuming such a plugin is written specifically for BadgeOS, but when I search “BadgeOS” in the plugins directory, only three show up. Hints?

In reply to: [Collapsing Archives] [Plugin: Collapsing Archives] Permissions ErrorSame problem here. Anyone know what to do?
To clarify, this should allow you to use the %thumbnail% shortcode.
I’m no expert, but I believe I may have succeeded in doing just that last night.
In the generator.php file, I added this:
protected function substitute_thumbnail( $post ) { return the_post_thumbnail( array(65,65) ); }right after the end of the
function substitute_category( $post )function.
THEN, in the core.php file, I added “%thumbnail%” to the list of shortcodes, as such:
static function get_available_tags() { return array( '%post_link%', '%date%', '%excerpt%', '%author_link%', '%author%', '%comment_count%', '%category_link%', '%category%', '%thumbnail%', ); }Be sure to back up and save. I did it wrong the first time and had to manually delete the plugin and reinstall it before I could get back into wordpress. But the second time, it worked like a charm.
But I’ve NEVER done anything like this before. I don’t know code. I simply guessed (based on patterns I saw in the code), and was flabbergasted and did a little dance when it worked. YAY!

In reply to: wordpress.com STATSI guess what I mean is that I’ll check the number of visits for the day, and it will say “230.” And hour later, it will say, “205.”
Traffic doesn’t decrease, as far as I can tell… but the numbers decrease, as if history had been changed.

In reply to: problem with templatesFYI, all my other posts/pages work just fine. It is just the two specimens which I have linked to that are problematic.
Hopefully someone here will be able to give me a few pointers.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: My pages stopped loading.The reason this is important is because I am forwarded my old wordpress.com site to my new hosted domain; I want old links to work, so I need to keep my posts in the year/month/day format in the url. However, when I select this option, my pages refuse to load. Please, any ideas on why this is happening?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: My pages stopped loading.More information: I may have figured out what triggered the problem. I can reverse it now. The problem occurs when I change perma-link options to month and year format rather than an arbitrary number. When I do this, the posts load fine, but the pages don’t and I get the above error instead. Any ways to fix this?
