    As Mohamed Atia has noticed, the title 'Level up!' can't be translated to other languages! Is there any solution??

    Thank you!

    Hi Andreas, by default the title gets the name of the plugin, which can be translated with the string `pluginname`, however the title can manually be changed from the block settings, and other defaults for the title can be set in the admin settings.

    Hi, when importing a course and there was a rule with "the acitivity or resource is" pointing to a specific activity the drop down list shows Error: unknown module, this on Moodle 3.6.3.

    Hi Kathrin, thank you for bringing this to our attention, we raised the issue [here](https://github.com/FMCorz/moodle-block_xp/issues/95).

    Hi Frédéric! We have been testing this plugin in a Totara implementation and it is working great! We are wondering if there is a way to only show leaderboard statistics for users within the same organization. Currently the leaderboard shows all users in the system with points and the only other options appear to be making the leaderboard completely anonymous or showing users a specified range of other users with similar xp values. I saw some documentation indicating there is IOMAD support, is seems similar to our configuration. Is there any way to make this work for us?

    Hi Maximillian, we got back to you through the email you sent us.

    Hi Frédéric! Love your work, thank you. Can LevelUp be configured to allow a user to earn points by selecting the correct answer of a quiz question or a quiz score? Also, could you please share the answer to Maximillian Waluk's question about organizational leadscore board? This is a concern of ours as well.

    Hi Ray.

    It is currently not possible to reward students based on their grades. However, you could offer points to those who complete activities with a high enough grade by combining the completion criteria of Moodle with the completion rules of Level up!. We understand that this does not give the same level of granularity, but in the meantime this may come in handy.

    Regarding organisational leaderboards, the only support we have for multi-tenancy is through IOMAD, and yet this support is partial and only applies to leaderboards. We would love to work on improving our multi-tenancy features, but we do not currently have the resources for such development. Please feel free to contact us at levelup[at]branchup.tech should you want to discuss this further.

    Thank you!

    Hi,
    When importing a course the rules for Level Up are not importing. Is there a fix for this?
  • Frédéric Massart ⭐
    Thu, 12 Sept 2019, 11:01 AM
    Hi Colina. Could you be more specific? Backup and restore is supported, the only issue we are aware of at the moment is that rules tied to activities do not restore properly. Other rules should restore just fine.
