2.0.6

I’m just uploading 2.0.6 to WordPress.org/extends; only change is to fix the admin menus for WordPress 3.1 multisite. I’m busy working on cool things for Achievements 2.1

Roadmap & development priorities

2011 will hold a lot of enhancements for Achievements. I thought I’d share a list of my priorities in order to get feedback, and to give everyone an idea of where the plugin is heading. In no particular order:

• Re-structure plugin files to match changes in BuddyPress 1.3.
• Migrate to custom post types where possible.
• Improve default templates; e..g the achievement detail page.
• Distribute some sample achievement graphics with the plugin.
• Integrate into more major plugins.
• Analytics/stats dashboard, so you can see information about how the achievements are being used.
• See if there are any applicable microformats achievements should be using.
• Allow easy import/export of achievement data.

2.0.5 released

Changelog:

* Add new “on user log in” action.
* Add support for GenesisConnect, until BuddyPress gets better template filtering.
* Fixed using certain widgets on the “my achievements” page.
* Fixed leaderboard widget score display; now respects site’s number format.
* Fixed “newest” ordering on the “my achievements” page.
* Updated Portuguese Brazilian and French translations. Thanks to Arthur Freitas and Marc-Olivier Ouellet, respectively.

It should be available on wordpress.org shortly.

GenesisConnect support

To help out people using Achievements with GenesisConnect, I have made some improvements for the next release and have created a new support page with information about GenesisConnect.

2.0.4 released

Last night, version 2.0.4 of Achievements for BuddyPress was made available on WordPress.org. The changes are:

• Add new ‘appearance’ option for the leaderboard widget; check it out! (New widget CSS styles.)
• Fix certain widgets use of achievement pictures on WordPress multisite.
• Modified CSS files formatted to meet WordPress CSS coding standards. No style changes.
• Modified how achievement data is sanitised and stored in the database. (Template changes in _addedit.php, achievements-loop.php.)

2.0.3 released

Last night, I uploaded the 2.0.3 version of Achievements to wordpress.org shortly. The changes are:

• Fix hidden/inactive achievements being listed on the directory when the filter is set to “event count.”
• Fix where ‘unlocked by’ page would interfere with other uses of the member loop on the same page (i.e. BuddyPress’ members widget).
• Fix inaccurate ‘unlocked by’ counts; properly remove all information when a user is marked as a spammer, or their account is deleted.
• Notifications are now cleared when visiting the directory as well as on an individual achievement’s page.

Quick documentation update

For developers, I have added a section to the add support for a plugin page which explains how to support custom post type actions in Achievements.
