Lady Jess Alerts Us to a Toy
She has a new WordPress plugin that displays her most recent achievements. Nifty. We downloaded and installed it. You can see it in action, in the far-right column.
1) We’d like to be able to change the name to “BRK’s Latest {bleeping} Achievements”
2) The spacing is all… ugly. Should be neater.
This has great potential!
In WordPress news, we’ve upgraded to 2.7 with no hassle, although we’ve lost the ability to use Flash upload pictures; we have to use the Browswer option. Mac OS X, 10.5.5, Firefox 3.0.4, and the latest Flash from Adobe. Any clues what to do?

maybe something wrong with my browser but I cant see the achievements….
BRK, I can’t seem ‘em either.
I’ll work on some new stylin’ for the WP plugin. Also, not sure what to do about your trouble with 2.7. Have the latest Flash plugin?
When all else fails, go back to Safari
I can see them, I use a Mac if that makes a difference.
Yes, the spacing is terrible, but I love the idea! I’d put this on my blog.
Maybe you should suggest having an option to change the size of the icons and such?
I forgot to mention, I am using Firefox to boot. So I’m not sure what it is, but I’m pretty sure it’s not FireFox that is causing the invisibility.
I am on a Mac, and on Firefox, and I can’t see the Achievements.
You can change the title in the wowrecentachiev.php file on line 35 (ok so I’m tinkering). Not sure why it’s not showing up, but I see the title. Mine was having fits til he helped me get it going.
Try going to the main page. They didn’t show up for me on the post pages.
@Fluffy yep, you’re right.
And the spacing is inherited from the blog theme, mine are lined up quite prettily, so it might be an adjustment in your list css:)
The page is blank for me. Windows PC with IE.
Seems on comments its bugged and shows nothing
also to if you can look at the code it should be in there saying something about “Recent Achievements” just replace that with whatever although it might be a jerk and take up more than one line
Same here. Cant see it on this page but can when I hit Home. PC FF3 Very cool little addon!
LOL, shut up Bricky you brass!
You luuurve the achievements, otherwise why would you even bother getting the widget? Eh? Achievements and Bricky, sitting in a tree, K-I-S-S-I-N-G.
I have the same problem with flash and wordpress. I did a little research and it’s a known issue. You can go to the adobe website and basically regress your installation of flash to 9.0 and then everything will work perfectly.
Sorry I don’t have the links on me right now I’m posting from the road. Love your site, long time reader

I tried debugging that Achievement box and while I can’t seem to pinpoint the exact problem, I did find out that the contents of the box aren’t getting loaded at all on page load, and if I execute “getAchiev(’Bigredkitty’,'Drenden’,'US’,'http://www.bigredkitty.net’)” after the page is loaded, the achievements load just fine.
I suspect something along the lines of jQuery(document).ready() not working because of javascript errors earlier in the page, but that’s just a guess.
@BRK
Add the following lines to your style.css somewhere close to wherever you would find the “#r_sidebar” code. This should format it a little better for most default font sizes.
#r_sidebar #achiev ul li img {float:left; margin-right:10px;}
AND
#r_sidebar #achiev ul li a {margin-top:-12px;}
