    Oi @Jose,

    Instalei o plugin na nossa instância Moodle 4.1, mas parece que mesmo após configurá-lo em Configurações do Plugin, ele não é mostrado como uma "atividade" ao estruturar o curso com os demais conteúdos. É alguma falha?

    @Filipe Batista, pode testar! Vou liberar uma versão nova em breve, com suporte ao 4.2.

    @Leonidas Xiros, the plugin will score only users with a student profile. If you assign both profiles, student and teacher, I believe the points are computed.

    @Geraldo Barros, o plugin é um bloco, não vai aparecer como atividade. Todas as configurações estão nas configurações do bloco.

    Hello Jose,
    Our Abilities Courses are taken by grades 9-12 (Restrict Access by Grade Group), and in each course we have 3 progressive-Learning levels A,B,C (RA by Learning Level group), to selectively offer higher order activities to some students. So a student is enrolled in at least 2 groups - a Grade Group, and a Learning Level. Think of it like a matrix with Grades in Col and Learning Levels in Rows.
    However the Game Block rank criteria selects only one group. If student selects Grade Group, he is ranked against students in all learning levels, and vice versa. This is a problem.
    Is it possible to have 2 or 3 group selection with an AND condition.
    Is this faced by anybody else also?

    Hello @puneet jhingan,
    The plugin really does not have the functionality to configure users with multiple groups. So far, they have not reported this need to me. I'll include it in the list of new plugin features, but I can't guarantee you when it will be implemented. Thanks for helping to improve the plugin.

    José Wilson, bom dia! Uma dúvida: consigo rankear de forma geral (todos os cursos da plataforma, acompanhamento na página inicial) ou a contagem dos pontos acontece separadamente dentro de cada curso?

    Olá José, tudo bem?
    Queria fazer um reset à pontuação de todos os utilizadores no site no início do ano letivo e não consigo! sad
    Já fiz reset à pontuação em todas as disciplinas, mas a pontuação individual continua disponível na página principal/painel.
    Podes ajudar?
    Abraço

    Olá @artur santos, não tem uma funcionalidade de reset para todos os usuários do ambiente, apenas dentro de um curso! Caso queira zerar a pontuação de todos no ambiente inteiro você pode desinstalar e reinstalar o plugin. Isso vai resetar o jogo em todo o ambiente.

    @Danilo Silva, o rankeamento, na área externa aos cursos, faz uma somatória da pontuação do usuário em todos os cursos que usam o plugin e mais a pontuação externa, bônus diário e emblemas. Dentro dos cursos o rankeamento se restringe a pontuação adquirida dentro du curso.

    Olá José. Obrigado pela resposta.
    Eu pretendo fazer o reset em todo o ambiente. Mas se eu desinstalar o plugin e voltar a instalar vou perder todas as configurações em todas as disciplinas, certo?

    Olá, José! Tudo bem?
    Estão aparecendo alguns relatos sobre o plugin instalado.
    Moodle 4.3
    Os avatares não estão aparecendo nos computadores apenas em celular;
    A pontuação está zerando e também não está aparecendo o nome na classificação geral.
    Tem algo que vc me orienta a fazer? Ou é por causa de ser o moodle 4.3?
    Desde já agradeço.
