    Hi Matt,

    Apologies, our documentation on drops is still lacking, we will do our best to correct this in a timely manner.

    To use drops, they must first be created from the "Drops" page which can be found under the "Points" tab when XP+ Pro/Multi is installed. On this page, you can create drops, set the number of points they award, and retrieve the precise shortcode to be placed on the content.

    Please feel free to contact us at (support at levelup dot plus), we'll be happy to assist.

    Hello, I'm using LevelUp plus and have a question:
    is there a way to make the course-level leaderboards and the whole-site-leaderboard both available at the same time?
    So that the whole-site leaderboard can show the points obtained by the students globally, but I can still know exactly how many points they got in each course?

    @Giulia Battaglia Thank you for your comment. At the moment, the choice between whole-site and per-course is definitive and a more granular leaderboard is not available.

    I understand that in your use case, you would be interested for learners to have a single leaderboard and level for the whole site, but educators would like to have access to a report broken down by course, is that right?

    Hi, I'm using Level Up+ and was wondering if there's any way to edit the Level Up Praise message once someone levels up? We want to make a few style changes. Thanks!

    Hi @Parshva, not yet unfortunately, that is something we're hoping to ship in an upcoming release!

    will you be updating the git repo? It hasn't got the new version yet.

    Hi @Gregor,

    Whoops, we forgot to push the master branch, we had only pushed the tag. Note that we discourage the usage of the master branch as the latter often ends up in a unstable stage. We recommend checking out the latest tag:

    Hi all,
    I am getting the following when upgrading block_xp from v3.12.1 to v.3.13.0 into our Moodle 3.11.11:

    Anyone know what this error is a result of and how to resolve it?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi @Uvigo, this notice is inoffensive and is only meant to be seen by developers. We will address is in a future minor release. You may raise this issue on github should you wish to follow its progress. Thank you!

    Hi Frédéric,
    I'm having a bit of issue on the level up notification one would get if they completed a level. I have "Enable level up notification" as yes in the course settings but when I level up, I don't receive any pop-ups notifying me that I have leveled up.

    Hi @Parshva,

    This is odd. Would you please confirm which version of Moodle you are using, as well as the version of XP, and XP+ if you have is too. We are unable to replicate this locally.

    I have Moodle 3.11.2, Level Up XP Version 3.12.1 and Level Up XP+ Version 1.12.1 (Pro).

    Hi @parshva,

    Could you please either try to upgrade to the latest versions, or make sure JS caching is enabled (cachejs setting)? We just fixed a bug yesterday that may addressed issues with that. Thanks!

    Is there an API or web service I can use to get level information on my users to display within a mobile app?
