Revive Achievements Extension(s)
I have done my bit to make this happen. Best of luck
So the proposal here is to make an extension that combines the Flarum Achievements extension and the user badge extension?
Would it be smart to combine them tho? If someone wants only the badges, they'd get achievements too and it wouldn't get used + vice versa
Either way both systems should be independent from eachother i guess
Ngl, I feel called upon (+ also interested) to at least make the achievement extension compatible again, it's a great system
MichaelBelgium what's the real difference between them besides the name of achievement and badge?
I think with some slight changes to the badge extension (e.g. display badge in post footer) you could do everything with the badge extension + automoderator (this was discussed in the thread too) because you can then grant badges based on dynamic criteria which is pretty much what achievements are except that the criteria is a bit more static being embedded in the achievements extension whereas badge + automoderator is a lot more flexible imo.

MichaelBelgium in some way, both extensions are similar. They both try to motivate users by rewarding them with achievements/badges. So their logic is/should be quite similar. As both are abandoned, taking a closer look at them might make sense so efforts are not wasted when writing a revival extension. As ctml said it was also discussed if it wouldn't make sense to offload the automation part to the AutoMod extension. @askvortsov plans to release an updated/more generic version of the extension as soon as he finds some time.
An essential part for me is that the future revived extension is part of FoF as it's something that is essential to the ecosystem and was used by a lot of users. FoF would/will give it more stability.
Yeah, upon further looking it seems they have the indeed the same purpose. Looked at both way too fast

Either competent dev can it make more stable but yeah in a team there's more contribution i guess. So as i'm not part of FoF I can't really help - if thats a "hard" require for you

Maybe you could get in touch with @IanM (who has also voiced interest IanM ), if this is not something doable. FoF is always looking for new contributors. I think this is a more complex extension (even might have some requirements of other extensions) so having them work well together and all being maintained (also with upcoming 2.0) is something important. It's not a hard requirement though. It's a bounty about reviving this and maintaining it for a prolonged time - just with a strong preference that it happens in a collective like FoF.
It would be a very useful and great job. Thank you.
Would very much appreciate this revival!
Looking forward
Still no one?
