As of yesterday we are running Moodle 3.7.2+ (Build: 20191012). We have our environment configured to use Badgr as the external backpack connection. We can create and award site and course badges. Users can connect to their own Badgr accounts through profile preferences. The Backpack settings are valid (same issuer email address and password used for the Badgr 'admin' account).
When a user clicks "Add to backpack", moodle returns an "Invalid Request."
What are we doing wrong?
Hi Ian,
Apologies for the long delay in replying to your post. Hopefully you no longer get an 'Invalid request' error, but in case you do (or if anyone else reading this discussion has the same problem), we've found it to be caused by a temporary problem on the badgr.io site. When we tried again later, adding a badge from Moodle to backpack worked fine!
As you mention, you do need to check that the backpack settings are valid and that Badgr is correctly configured as the external backpack for the site, as otherwise this is another reason for getting an 'Invalid request' error (as mentioned in MDL-65545).
