Thanks for the reply, Peter.

Hope you feel better soon (don't like getting sick myself).

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!

I had the same result when making another Mod account. The link accounts would have the same trophies, as if connected accounts will receive the same trophies as the following account. It could be a bug like Peter had said.

1.0.2
- Tied local data to actual accounts so that multiple accounts can earn trophies separately.
- Added in some events to help future packs.
- Pre init check added.

Update is available in the library.

So to change the trophy image or name I would have to access the forum coding is that correct?

[Peter]

Voxx,

For the moment, yes. There is no support in the settings to change images or text. Maybe in the future, we shall see.

FAQ

- There is nothing showing in mini profiles
    If you are using a custom theme or mini profile layout, then this is likely your problem.  The Trophies plugin requires the mini profile to have the class "mini-profile", and the profile link must exist in the mini profile (this can be hidden) with the class "user-link".  These are the vanilla classes, removing them is not a good idea.

- I have a custom mini profile and want to style / move the trophy information
    There is a class you can use on any element in the mini profile so that you can position the trophy information anywhere you like.

    trophies-custom-mini-profile

    Example:

    <div class="trophies-custom-mini-profile"></div>

- I have a custom profile and would like to move the trophy information
    There is an ID you can add to an element so that you can position the trophy information anywhere you like on the profile page.

    trophies-custom-profile

    Example:

    <div id="trophies-custom-profile"></div>

- Some trophies are not popping up when I am sure myself or my members have met the requirements
    Please note that some trophies are not retroactive.  So trophies that are for reading topics, following members and a few others, will only pop once the requirement has been met, as there is no existing data that the trophy plugin can look at.

    Some trophies have basic AFK protection.  For example, the time based trophies requires the use to have the window / tab focused.  They cannot open a window / tab in the background and go do other things (i.e watch YouTube, play Games).

    Trophies such as "Topics Read" have basic protection to prevent the user opening lots of topics in multiple tabs.

    If you are still sure a trophy should have popped up, please post in this topic so I can investigate.

- Me or some of my forum members have lost their trophies
    Trophies are stored locally for each user until they are synced to the account.  If the user decides to use another browser before the trophies are synced, then they will have to earn them again.
   
    Trophies are synced to the account when a user posts or sends a message.  This is due to the limitations of how plugin developers are allowed to set key data.  I may consider adding in more places to sync the data in the future.

- Why can I not see other members trophies when they have told me they earned some?
    See the above question.

- Will you add more trophies?
    The Trophies plugin is close to the limit for the amount of trophy images it can store.  However, the Trophy plugin has support for trophy packs.  So the answer is yes, though I need ideas for trophies.

- Trophy title or description doesn't really make sense, can I change it?
    Thinking up names for trophies was difficult, so I'm open to suggestions for better names and descriptions.  For the moment, no trophy can be changed in the core pack.

- Why does it say I am level X and at 100%?
    A level doesn't roll over to the next if the XP / Points are exactly the same as the level requirement.

- Can I disable the stat animations?
    Not at this time.  If people prefer not for it to "crunch" the numbers, then I will consider options.

- Can I add custom trophies?
    You sure can, however you need to know how to create a pack.  Please post and I will show you a basic example.  Warning:  programming knowledge needed.

- Can I disable a trophy?
    This was going to be an option in the first release, but decided not to include it for now.  So maybe in the future.

- Can I add / remove a trophy from a members account?
    Currently you can not.  I did think about adding support for this, but it will need to be for a future release.  If there is interest, I will consider adding it in sooner.

- Can I customise anything?
    As with nearly anything on the forum, you can modify the way things look (i.e font size, padding, margins) with CSS.

Changes

Date is UK format.

1.0.2 [19/1/2016]
- Tied local data to actual accounts so that multiple accounts can earn trophies separately.
- Added in some events to help future packs.
- Pre init check added.

1.0.1 [28/12/2015]
 - Fixed typo in trophy description.

I think if you made a share button that pops up with your trophy it could save and redirect and make a preset post on a board set by the admin in settings. Being an optional feature that saves data.

[Gibby]

I have just installed this, It has given me loads of trophies straight off but every other member is on zero even though they have met some of the trophy requirements such as first post etc why is that? also where can you change where they can obtain a trophy ? can you see your own requirements eg 300 posts or 10th thread created etc?

[blitzen]

I have a suggestion for a trophy/trophies.

Length of being signed up. I.e "Been signed up for a year."

[Former Member]

Hey, Peter!

This may have been suggested, but how about a trophy for people who change/upload their own avatar image at least once?

[Peter]

Just to note for those that are suggesting trophies; I'm not ignoring you, I will be making a list of them, but do not know if / when I will be implementing them.

Am trying not to do too much with existing plugins for now.

Hi Peter ,
Many of our members have suddenly been demoted at least 3 levels and I assume trophies disappeared too.

So you're saying that if someone uses Firefox, Google Chrome + Internet Explorer together trophies will be taken and the earned level will be diminished? I use a lot of internet café computers and the browsers may not be my choice then.

[Peter]

If the trophies have not been synced, and they switch to a different browser, then yes, they will lose them.

Due to restrictions on how I can update the key (ProBoards limitation), I need to store it in the browsers storage and then update the key when the user does something such as post a message.

My home PC uses Google Chrome at the moment because all the task bars on Firefox were strangely deleted after Windows 10 came. My cell phone runs on Firefox, which is my favorite. It's sad that you can't seem to remedy this. This means members fearing the loss of level ranks + trophies will avoid logging in to our forum with computers or cell phones using a different browser and this would diminish our forum activity.

I hope you find a solution.
