Hello,

Further to this lengthy discussion on the French-speaking forum, I've been told to post my problem here.

It's really simple, I can't transfer my moodle.org badges to https://eu.badgr.com/backpack/badges.

Thanks for any hint,

Joseph

Hello Joseph,

To add badges from moodle.org, you need a badgr.com backpack, which is not the same as an eu.badgr.com backpack. (Source: 'I have an account on eu.badgr.com but I can't connect to my backpack' in Badges FAQ.)

Thanks Helen,
It was not immediately evident to me that I had to create an US account rather than a European one!
It's working now.
Best,
Joseph

Yes, it's not so clear, unfortunately! Good to hear you've got it working now though. Thanks for letting us know. smile

I've managed a workaround that allows you to connect to a regional badgr.
I jumped into the DB (I use navicat) and changed the table xxxx_badge_external_backpack entries to:

backpackweburl:https://au.badgr.io
apiversion:2

It'll probably get overwritten next time the code updates but it works fine for now.
