Discourse Gamification

Is het mogelijk om de Leaderboard URL op de een of andere manier handmatig opnieuw in te stellen?

Bijvoorbeeld leaderboards/2 naar leaderboards/1.

Is it possible to award points to a user as an extra reward?

How to adjust gamification points without retroactively updating point values for old score-able actions

Problem statement If you use the Discourse Gamification Plugin to award users points for contributing to your community, you may have come across a need to adjust point values based on emerging trends. In the SailPoint Developer Community, we use the Gamification Plugin to power our Ambassador program. Users who make valuable contributions to our community earn points which in turn are used to determine the level of perks they receive. As our community has grown and the number of contributions…

Ik heb deze plugin in de admin geopend, maar de tab Leaderboard verscheen niet automatisch. Ik heb ook geen nieuwe leaderboards toegevoegd. Waarom niet? Waar kan ik deze leaderboards bekijken?

[NateDhaliwal]

I think you have to add them to the sidebar yourself . The leaderboards are at /leaderboard, /leaderboard/2, /leaderboard/3 etc.

Is het mogelijk om een leaderboard te maken voor een specifieke categorie of tag?

[tobiaseigen]

Leaderboards are tied to groups. But you can specify which categories affect all the leaderboards in the gamification settings. Seems like an interesting idea to move that to the leaderboard, to for example have a Support leaderboard here in this community.

Is there a way for me to exclude myself from the rankings?

[Lilly]

yes add yourself to a new group (call it ‘leaderboard-exclusion’ or something) and then exclude the group in the plugin settings.

edit: this will also easily allow you to exclude anyone else if you so wish at some point, by adding them to the same group.

[Ari_Waller]

Thank you so much. That makes sense.

After I upgraded to version 2026.1.0, I created a monthly leaderboard, and then accessing the following route caused an error:

http://localhost:4200/admin/plugins/discourse-gamification/leaderboards

The error is as follows:

assert.js:40 
 Uncaught (in promise) Error: Assertion Failed: You attempted to update `_value` on `TrackedStorageImpl`, but it had already been used previously in the same computation.  Attempting to update a value after using it in a computation can cause logical errors, infinite revalidation bugs, and performance issues, and is not supported.

`_value` was first used:

- While rendering:
  {{outlet}} for -top-level
    -top-level
      {{outlet}} for application
        application
          DiscourseRoot

                    {{outlet}} for adminPlugins.show
                      show
                        AdminPluginConfigPage

                                      (result of a `unknown` helper)

Stack trace for the update:

    at AdminPluginsShowDiscourseGamificationLeaderboardsIndexController.<anonymous> (handle-descriptor.js:67:17)

I located the problematic file as follows:

plugins/discourse-gamification/admin/assets/javascripts/discourse/controllers/admin-plugins/show/discourse-gamification-leaderboards/index.js

Specific code:

  @discourseComputed("model.leaderboards.@each.updatedAt")
  sortedLeaderboards(leaderboards) {
    return (
      leaderboards?.sort((a, b) => compare(b?.updatedAt, a?.updatedAt)) || [] // line 22
    );
  }

The reason for the error is:

Ember.js (or more accurately, the Glimmer tracking system) assertion error in reactive state management. The core reason is: within the same computation cycle, you first read a tracked (tracked state) value, and then attempt to modify that value. This “use then update” operation can lead to logical confusion, infinite loops, or performance issues, so Ember directly prohibits this behavior.

Key issue:

• Array.sort() modifies the original array in place, which updates the @tracked leaderboards state.

• The responsibility of a computed property (sortedLeaderboards) is to derive a new value, not to modify the original state; it should itself be a “pure function” (no side effects, does not modify the input source).

Here is the fix:

  @discourseComputed("model.leaderboards.@each.updatedAt")
  sortedLeaderboards(leaderboards) {
    return (
      //leaderboards?.sort((a, b) => compare(b?.updatedAt, a?.updatedAt)) || []
      leaderboards?.slice().sort((a, b) => compare(b?.updatedAt, a?.updatedAt)) || []
    );
  }

Screenshot after fixing:

And this kind of similar issue doesn’t seem to be an isolated case. I suspect it’s an incompatibility issue caused by the emberjs upgrade. However, many places in plugins haven’t been modified to keep up with the upgrade, as this work is not as simple as it sounds.

Hello everyone, regarding the points for this plugin, currently, there is only an increase function. If I have a need to decrease points, for example, initiating a vote requires deducting 10 points, or points can be exchanged for benefits (physical goods or virtual services, etc.), what should I do? Are there other plugins that support this?
