Hi everyone! Over the past few days, I tried my hand at Allow users to see trust level 3 progress on user profile using a plugin. Here is the current plugin: [изображение] GitHub - NateDhaliwal/discourse-see-tl3-progress Contribute to NateDhaliwal/discourse-see-tl3-progress development by creating an account on GitHub. [image] [image] I use the amazing Gauge.js for the gauges. It used to be just a plain rectangular bar, but that seemed too boring. (Plus, there’s even an animation that loads the gauge to the correct value!) Settings: Progress bar color: color of the progress bar (default green, like in the picture above) Progress bar background color: bg color of the progress bar (default light-gray like in the picture above) Modal button icon (defaults to circle-info) All texts are editable via locales, and it reuses core locales where possible. Any feedback? Bugs? Improvements? I’d be happy to hear them!

This has been published at See TL3 Progress :tada: !

[изображение] NateDhaliwal: [image] This is definitely better, but I liked the concept example which had the closest statistic to work to. Helps me personally in why I was originally rooting for the feature (losing TL3 and not knowing why).

i have no use for this plugin myself (only because trust level progress isn’t that important on my forums), but i am enjoying watching you develop it - great job Nate! :clap:

Thanks! Meanwhile, I have to get used to the new avatar :laughing: .

[изображение] NateDhaliwal: [изображение] EricGT: When one of those configured values changes, affected users should receive some form of notification or explanation. Users actively working toward TL3 and tracking the quantitative requirements will likely ask staff and moderators why their progress changed. Some will maintain their own local scorecards and may notice a threshold change within a day. Possible, I guess, but is this too out of the scope of this plugin? I think of it like driving with a map you trust. One day, while following it, you find yourself on a road that does not appear on the map. It may be only one missing road, but you now have reason to question how accurate the rest of the map is. Similarly, if one of the TL3 requirements changes without your knowledge and you suddenly find that reaching TL3 has become much more difficult, can you still trust that the other displayed values are accurate? [изображение] NateDhaliwal: [изображение] EricGT: The statistics should also display the configured thresholds for requirements whose values can be changed. Looking at /admin/config/trust-levels, that now appears to include most of the quantitative requirements. Could you elaborate on this? These are the current TL-3 settings I see under /admin/config/trust-levels for a specific site: [image] [image] [image] For a long time, many of these values could not be changed through site settings. They can now be changed relatively easily. Because these settings are the source of truth for many TL3 requirements, testing the plugin should include changing one of them and verifying that the plugin’s displayed result changes accordingly. Think of my earlier reply as a breadcrumb for anyone trying to locate the source of truth for these values: /admin/config/trust-levels. However, viewing that page requires administrator access.

[изображение] EricGT: Because these settings are the source of truth for many TL3 requirements, testing the plugin should include changing one of them and verifying that the plugin’s displayed result changes accordingly. Got it. The plugin puts the stats into an API route at /u/:username/tl3-progress.json, which gets the data from the backend with all the core methods that access those. So they update the stats when core refreshes in the background. Based on my testing, it refreshes the totals immediately. Just a quick update: I’m working on the next closest stat indicator: [image] Still a WIP.

[изображение] NateDhaliwal: I’m working on the next closest stat indicator: Also consider users who may soon lose TL3. An indicator showing which statistic—or statistics—puts their TL3 status at risk would be useful. Sorry that I keep sharing these small bits of information piecemeal. Much of this knowledge came from learning through mistakes along the way, so certain details only come to mind when another thought triggers the memory. I hope that makes sense.

Looking at the different types of notifications and how they are created, I’m not sure if it’s possible to send a custom notification to redirect to the user summary page or something similar without submitting a PR to core, or more. Any ideas @chapoi?

Super busy over the past few days. But I’m almost done with updating the logic for getting the next closest stat: instead of looking at percentage, it looks at the lowest actual value then can be next achieved. As for TL3s about to lose progress, I’ve started on that too. The repo probably shouldn’t bebused for now since it’s in-between the finished product.

[изображение] EricGT: For a long time, many of these values could not be changed through site settings. They can now be changed relatively easily. Hmm. I’d say they kind of existed forever. I found a commit renaming them from 2014 rename site settings for trust levels as numbers committed 08:16PM - 04 Sep 14 UTC (UTC) [изображение] coding-horror +99 -99 I don’t think there is “a long time” of Discourse before that. [изображение] NateDhaliwal: Settings: Progress bar color: color of the progress bar (default green, like in the picture above) Progress bar background color: bg color of the progress bar (default light-gray like in the picture above) I think you might need separate settings for light and dark color palettes. lightgray on black has a different contrast than on white. Instead of time_period: "Based on last %{num_days} days." you can use time_period: one: "Based on last %{count} day." other: "Based on last %{count} days." Then you get day/days depending on the number. Things get a little complicated when there is more than one number other words depend on in the text. I’d try to avoid Message Format.

[изображение] Moin: I found a commit renaming them from 2014 Interesting, now I have to wonder why I think what I noted. Other interesting note about the commit, it was done by Jeff ( coding-horror) which is rare to see now-a-days.
