Revive Achievements Extension(s)

ctml

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!

Still no one?🥲

Unless @IanM responds before the 19th, we will line this up internally with Blomstra/Flarum BV.

luceos could you share any updates on this one?

luceos

dragsugur none yet. The release of the new flarum.org website has taken away a lot of our time.

Anyone else can still pick this up if they want, we will ping back here if we start working on it actively.

I'm really looking forward to the latest version of the plugin. Achievements can be used as the opening of new functionality, for example, to change the rank or permission to add gif avatars with a plugin for a certain number of open achievements. And unlike badges, set up a separate page with unlocked and closed achievements in the user's profile. Gamification system!

And if you got here from the page of the original badge extension, you may be interested in a more up-to-date version. Everything works for me on Flarum 1.8.5. I even completely translated the extension into my language.

In theory, this badge extension can be used as an extension of achievements, but due to the lack of automation, it will have to be issued manually. That's how I set it up.
