Trophies 1.0.2 - [Updated: 19th Jan, 2016]

[Matt]

Peter I think there may be a bug.
the trophies that say " be online for 5 minutes " be online for one hour

those time trophies, I've been online for over an hour but I haven't yet gotten the 5 minutes one yet. i think there may be a bug in the system.

the forum url is thechattingbox.proboards.com

I've not had this bug on Equestriad and I've been testing before it was even released with no glitches... at this point I'm starting to question if your bugs are due to the sheer number of plugins you have (... I thought I was bad with 45)

I have 90 plugins. I don't think that would affect anything though? I've been having quite a few problems with various plugins though.

Okay 90 plugins. That's 90 chances for something to not like something else and throw the metaphorical spanner in the works. That's 90 chances for something to conflict with something else. I mean think of plugins as 90 people in an office. Sure most people in the office'll get along but there's always a risk that two or three won't you know.

Ok it did award me the trophy for the 5 minutes but not for the 30 minutes, I'll try moving it just below yootil and see what happens.

Are plugins read from top to bottom just like normal code is?

Will you be updating this plugin every month or maybe every Holiday or Event that comes up? I was just curious because it is a good idea and I look forward to seeing more ideas being put into the Trophies and Stats. The idea of them getting Trophies for logging in on Christmas Eve and on Christmas is an excellent idea. Perhaps they can earn Trophies for getting more likes? I noticed that is not in there as I reviewed the trophies.

I'm sure you have some ideas up your sleeve and you're just testing out the Trophies to see if it goes far or not or if people really enjoy it, correct? I look forward for some more updates when you do.

Not sure how often I will be updating it to be honest.  I have an update waiting to be approved that fixes a typo, and will likely put out another update to make some internal changes.

As for more trophies;  The plan is to release packs.  I have a little space to squeeze a couple more into the core pack, and funny enough, it was going to be the "Like Post" kinda of trophy.  However, I'm not 100% sure what I have planned in the new year, so I don't know how active I will be working on this, as it's something I don't get paid for, nor can we sell them via the library.  Also, trophies take a while to think up, and implement.  While most of the the images are from a free icon site, I have to modify each one of them, so it's time consuming.

Thanks for the feedback though.

I noticed a typo, I'm glad you're getting it fixed. Hopefully it will be approved soon.

That's understandable. We do appreciate your effort to help improve our forums, we owe it all to you. So again, thank you even for a wonderful Holiday update on bringing up the new Trophy Stat ideas, thats a real gift for all our forums. Not to seem too cheesy or anything. I am positive that many will start using your plugin and will probably check every now and then for your updates or packs. I know I will.

As for another idea to contribute with the 'Like Posts', you could also give Trophies that members are on our forums for more than a year. Example: Signed up for 1 year, sign up for 2 years, etc. I can keep in touch for more ideas if you would like.

I hope you have had a very good Merry Christmas, Peter!

Yes they are - I'd reccomend shoving trophies below monetary stuff

Hi! Grammar Nazi here! I was wondering if you could update the plugin to spell "followed" correctly? (You spelled it as "folowed".) I'm not sure how to get to or change this myself, so here I am.

[Boy_Wonder]

It should be fixed in the newest update

Hey Peter Great job on this plugin. I just found out about it today and am testing it out, I like it a lot so far! :]
Thanks for another great plugin!

I'm not sure if it's possible/currently added already, but are you able to post an individual members trophy information/trophy images in the shoutbox/other areas of the forum, just like how it is in the members list?

If I think of any useful ideas for this plugin, or notice any issues/bugs, I'll let you know.

Not really.  It could be done, but not something I intend to do for now.

Thanks

Hey, Peter.

Quick question: Are the trophies tied to the global account? I have someone who is an Admin on one of my forums (Avatar Ascent - if you need a link to it) and created a 2nd account on her global account. Her Admin account is username of @mixed and her second (regular member) account has the username of @mixedsrp. It seems that quite a few trophies were awarded shortly after she had made her 2nd account - as stated in this thread (thread should be guest-friendly - if not, I can copy the contents for you).

Thanks!

[Peter]

Lynx ,

localStorage data is not tied to the account, so that is the reason. I probably would consider it a bug, however I 'm not sure when I will get around to changing it.

Edit:

This may be a little more awkward than I first thought.  If I do make the change, it could break trophy data (i.e time logged in, topics made, ...).  It's possible, but I would need to look over the code (right now I can't think straight) to see the best way of doing it so that existing users don't have the data lost.  I'm not well at the moment, so focusing on code is quite difficult.  When I do get around to it, I'll tag you with an update.
