I am running Moodle 2.2 and I have enabled Unlimited grades under the Grades->General Settings. However when I enter the Gradebook and turn the edit on, the max grade I could assignment a student under an activity is 1000. When I tried to enter 10,000 point, it shows thje error 'The grade entered is more than the maximum allowed'. I wonder why I was not able to enter more than 1000 points as I have enabled the unlimited grades. Anyone could help me with this?
Thanks

I have added grading items to the gradebook and it has no problem of entering more than 1000 points. However, for the activities such as assignments and workshops, I was not able to score more 1000 points. I thought when I have unlimited grades enabled, it would override the activity max grades. Strange
I have managed to change the limitation of 1000 points by going into the lib/grade/grade_item.php, and change the line 1247
$maxcoef = isset($CFG->gradeoverhundredprocentmax) ? $CFG->gradeoverhundredprocentmax : 1000; // 1000% max by default
It was10 and that was why I cuold only enter a max of 1000 points. I have changed it to 1000 and now I can enter heaps of points
Not sure if this is a good practice but it seems to be working. If anyone knows a different way of doing it, please let me know.
Let us know how it goes. When I've used unlimited grades in the past its gone quite wonky on me.
Hi Bob,
We are using 2.2
What do you mean by "wonky"? We currently have it turned off, I had a request from someone to turn it on. (It is on at another location the instructor is at)
I know the default is "off", and I assume there is a good reason for the default being off.
I would like to know the issues.
Thanks!
I'll tell you honestly, I like to live on the edge and my faculty have been conditioned to that because I've acquired enough knowledge about how Moodle operates so I can fix their problems rather quickly.
I've turned unlimited grades on, have had it on for one month and have not encountered any problems. Running 2.3.3.
