# Condition Steps Problem

 * I wanted to let you know of a strange behavior in the Admin side of Conditions.
   Steps to recreate:
 * Create a new condition. Have one “step” already defined and saved. Note: this
   step will work on the front-end, with points assigned after completing this one“
   step”.
 * Add a “step” and then refresh or have to sign in again before filling it in and
   saving the changes to the condition.
 * The “Step” areas now cannot be edited (note: “Incomplete” appears next to the
   condition title). And I do mean all the “step” area. Even the previously saved
   and editable step cannot be edited or altered.
 * Deleting the new incomplete step and trying to edit the previously-working “step”
   does not work. The fields are frozen.
 * Deleting all the “steps” and then adding a new one does not fix the problem. 
   It’s as if the “Step” area has become corrupted or I no longer have the permissions
   to edit that entire area.
 * The left-side of the condition area remains fully editable. It is only the “step”
   area that is affected.
 * The only solution is to completely delete the condition and start a brand new
   condition. The new condition will work as expected… unless the above steps occur.
 * I’ve been able to reproduce this behavior.
 * If the one working (first) step remains (even while the fields are frozen), then
   on the front-end when a condition is met a pop-up box announcing points earned
   does appear and the points appear in the MySQL database. However, the points 
   are not reflected in the member profile. I checked the MySQL database, and under“
   broo_user_assignment” the points are registering. This might be a separate issue,
   as I haven’t been able to get any points and badges to appear under a member 
   profile at all, but thought I would mention it here as it was noticed while testing
   the above issue. “ No badges. No points.” does appear under the member profile,
   so at least that part is working.
 * Question: Does the pop-up box on the front-end ever announce that a badge has
   been earned? So far it has not, even though the conditions are set so that a 
   badge is supposed to have been issued. It only announces that points have been
   earned. The “Assignments” panel in the Admin area does not show that a badge 
   has been issued or is waiting for approval. At the moment I have the system set
   to “Auto Approve Assignments”.
 * Another issue I thought I would mention, but I could make happen only once: the
   very first time I tested Badgearoo with a simple comment to a WP post. When submitting
   a comment, which then should have triggered points and a badge, this error message
   appeared:
 * > Warning: Missing argument 3 for broo_bp_activity_post_type_published() in /
   > home/REDACTED/REDACTED/writinggroove.com/wp-content/plugins/badgearoo/includes/
   > integrations/buddypress.php on line 294

   > includes/integrations/buddypress.php:294) in /home/REDACTED/REDACTED/writinggroove.
   > com/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 1228
 * Comment still posted. No points appeared under the member profile, and as far
   as I can tell, did not appear in the MySQL database.
 * I am using the latest versions of WordPress, Buddypress, bbPress, and Badgearoo.

 * Still having the same problems of being locked out of the “steps” field when 
   testing the steps described above.
 * Points show being awarded by a pop-up window, but do not show up under member
   profile.
 * HOWEVER, the name of the badge is now showing (yay!), but not the badge icon (
   no matter what I do). Nor does it pay attention to the custom HTML, which I have
   set to {badge_icon} {title} – {excerpt}. The only thing it shows is the badge
   color in the shape of a dot. Example is here: [http://www.writinggroove.com/members/dreamers-cove/broo-bp-assignments/](http://www.writinggroove.com/members/dreamers-cove/broo-bp-assignments/)

 * Hi,
 * Have you uploaded a badge icon (not to be confused with the featured image)? 
   You also need to set the Custom HTML theme in the plugin settings (otherwise 
   it will use either the icon, light or dark themes). The {badge_icon} will output
   the URL of the image. So to display it, it needs to be put into an <img> tag 
   or inline CSS.
    e.g. <img src=”{badge_icon}” />
 * Are points showing in admin backend?
    Can you send some screenshots of the steps
   locking?
 * Thanks,

 * Ah, okay. I had the Badge Theme in the settings set wrong. Once I changed that
   setting to “icon” the badge appeared just fine under the member profile.
 * Points are showing in the admin backend under “Assignments”. They are also showing
   in the database. Just not on the front-end.
 * I’ll see about putting together a screenshot illustration of what is happening
   in the Conditions area.

 * Here we go!
 * 1. Created a new condition. Added step and was able to fully edit both fields
   to create the step. Then I saved.
 * [https://flic.kr/p/FULMq2](https://flic.kr/p/FULMq2)
 * 2. A second step is added. Page is then refreshed before being filled in. No 
   fields are now editable in either step. All steps are locked up.
 * NOTE: However, if the second step added and then the condition saved before it
   is filled in, all steps ARE editable.
 * [https://flic.kr/p/EZvYta](https://flic.kr/p/EZvYta)
 * 3. Second step is deleted out and condition is saved. The previously working 
   step (back in Screen Shot 1) is not editable.
 * [https://flic.kr/p/FuEjfb](https://flic.kr/p/FuEjfb)
 * 4. All steps are deleted. A brand new single step is added. Fields are not editable.

 * Thank you. I was able to reproduce using Firefox. Google Chrome works OK though.
   I will investigate.
