Scavenger Hunt [1.2.0]

[val2525]

"Add a link to your navbar (or wherever you want to) that points to the Custom Page you made."

I have the leaderboard set up. How do I do the above - add the link to view the leaderboard to the nav bar?

[Tix Mascot]

1 Copy the URL address to the leaderboard in the browser address window.

2 Open the 'admin' panel of your forum.

3 Click on 'settings' > 'forum settings' > 'navigation'.

4 Paste the leaderboard's URL address into a vacant line, give it an appropriate name and shift it to your preferred position on the navigation bar withe the up/down arrows.

Good luck!

So we finished a round of the game and everyone had good fun.

One of our members revealed that he found a count doubler using the Members list.

I've tried it and it is easily repeatable on any page with pagination and not just the member list. The served prize image repeats on each page number clicked on - ie: I'm using a photo randomizer and it serves the same image on each page number clicked on. The doubling occurs after the fact - as 10 pages are clicked through the bag count does not increase in the pop-up dialog box but when your finished and refresh the page the amount you collected doubles to 20.

Lynx any idea what's going on here - am I causing this by using a randomizer on the photos being fed?

I've not yet heard of this issue at all. Can you list the steps to actually reproduce (none of my forums have more than 1 page of members)? m2marsh - could you see if this can be reproduced on one of your forums, please? If not, then it may be the use of the photo randomizer that Tommy is using (not sure how, but can't discount it yet).

Tix Mascot gave you the steps above. (Thanks Tix Mascot! )

My pleasure after all the help I've received here myself.

Thanks for the info, Tommy. I've got a few things going on atm, but give me a few days and I'll see if I can figure out what's going on. I've got a few ideas, but I'm not able to look at the plugin right now. I'll post back here when I've got it figured out and have uploaded an update.

Hey, wondering if you could help me

I'm quite new to plugins so it might be something I've missed but whenever a player makes a post it shows their current score underneath their avatar/name

Is there a way of turning this off? We wanna keep scores secret until the end of the game, we've hidden the leader board but I dunno how to hide this

Thank you

[Peter]

creativesurvivor1 ,

A workaround if there is no option in the plugin would be to use a little CSS to hide it for now.


/* Hide scavenger count and icon */

.prizeBag {

   display: none;

}

Add to your Stylesheet and then remove it at a later day to make it show up.

I don't know anything about CSS, but thank you for your response

Peter gave you instructions above, but I'll elaborate on it.

If you only have 1 theme, or only want it to affect 1 theme, go to Admin > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS > Stylesheet (tab), go to the bottom of the stylesheet, create a new line and copy & paste the code above.

If you want it to affect all themes, go to Admin > Structure > Headers & Footers > Global Header & Footer > Footer (section) and put the code above in between <style></style> tags, so it looks like this:


<style>
/* Hide scavenger count and icon */

.prizeBag {

  display: none;

}
</style>


If you need further help, post back.

UPDATE:

I've now gone through this entire thread and believe I've compiled an accurate list of all the requests made. Please note that they are NOT in any particular order. If you're a registered member of my test forum, and you have a suggestion for something that hasn't been added, you can post a reply in that thread and I'll see about adding it to the list (if it's a feasible suggestion). You can find the list HERE. It should be a guest-friendly viewable thread.

Please do not ask for ETA's or for a specific order, as they will all be worked on. I'll most likely see which ones are the easier ones to implement and do those first.

Thanks for your understanding!

[Tix Mascot]

Cool!

This plugin works well for us now, so I have no requests, but I'll follow this thread and see if I can make use of future upgrades.

[Lynx]

Most of them will be options that can be turned on or off, so the forum owner will still be able to run the plugin like it runs now, if they want to.

[m2marsh]

I don't even understand most of those proposed changes. But the one that does catch my eye is being able to load random images. I think that would be fun for my membership.

Just to note, though, the random images would rotate on a page-change, rather than after a set delay (like changing once per day, etc.). However, they will be set up as an autoform, so one could add as many, or as few, images wanted. If only 1 image in entered, it would just be that 1 image used until more are added or that image is changed - perhaps daily. It'll be up to the forum owner on how they want to implement that and it'll be an optional method available - so forums that want to stick with just 1 image for the entire hunt would be able to still do that.

[Tix Mascot]

We have already used a random image rotator for a long time and our members like it a lot, as you really don't know what to look for. We now have about 60 images to choose from and all we need to do is insert a common URL into the plugin's settings, whereupon the image changes with the page. But if we could add the images directly into the plugin, that would be easier than relating to an external site for the image URL list.
