Is the Badges plugin from NoahY stable?

Question

I would like to use the badges plugin from NoahY (https://github.com/NoahY/q2a-badges) on a live environment, but as it is officially still beta code, I am wondering if the plugin does work flawlessly on a live environment with > 10.000 users.

Answer 1

yes, it is quite stable from my experience.

A couple of months ago there has been a memory bug, that has been sorted out. See https://github.com/NoahY/q2a-badges/issues?sort=updated&state=open

Btw, most of Noah's plugins have the "beta" note.

What are these downvotes  for?

All my plugins are certified WOMM.

Answer 2

I would say no as it don't work for me on version 1.5.4 all I get is a blank white screen when I installed it I tried contacting Noah with no response. Have a search around this site you'll find others complaining also with no help.

Sorry, I've been busy... Check your php error log and get back to me... I'll try to debug it soon.

Hey Noah thanks for the update it works perfect now!

Answer 3

It generates weird errors in user pages when you try to activate the badges beside members name. I'm at work right now so I'll get into details as soon as I get a break.

EDIT:

This is the problem I'm having. It appears on any user page, in activities, when you select the options #1, #5, #6, #7 on plugin control panel. Selecting only option #1 generates no errors.

Notice: Undefined index: who in /.../qa-include/qa-app-format.php(1448) : eval()'d code on line 186

Yes! Badge widget not displaying correctly at two places
Plugin Options:
1- Show badge widget beside points in user meta
(does not show up)
2- Show badge widget beside points in question list
gives an error something like Undefined index:  .......qa-include/qa-app-format.php(1466) : eval()'d code - at user profile in recent activity questions.
Also page for badges is not displaying correctly.
I am using latest version of this plugin with Q2A 1.5.4.

Also noted that the actual badge link when in subnav position doesn't work when viewing your own profile.  It just reloads your own profile.  Viewing other users badges however, seems to be ok.
