    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?
  • FrĂ©dĂ©ric Massart ⭐

    Hi @Patrick, at present wo do not officially have an API, but there are several Moodle web services built in XP+ that could be used for that purpose.

    Hi everyone, just added the level up block to one of my courses. Wondering if there is a way for students to view the Level Up block without viewing the Navigation block, too. I have only been able to do all or none through the permissions. Thank you!

    Hi @Brittani, we're unsure which "Navigation block" you are referring to.

    If that is the Moodle block that displays the site navigation, you may be able to change the permissions within the block itself to override role permissions.

    If that is the navigation (icons) visible within XP itself, those are visible as per the availability of other pages (leaderboard/info), there aren't any existing permissions that control this.

    Hi @Yezi,

    You most likely already have Level Up XP+ installed (local_xp) but an old version. After clicking on the "Settings" tab in the block, there should be a tab "XP+" in which you can find your current version, and how to upgrade to the latest. Please do not hesitate to contact us at support at levelup dot plus if need be.

    Hi, I am using XP+ in Moodle 3.11. I am now using the 'Grade-based rewards' function, so that the Level Up grade is the grades from Quiz activities. However, I want to give some score penalty for students who attempt the Quiz for a second or third time. I know that I can set up a penalty for each incorrect try within a multiple choice question. But it is quite time consuming to set up each question. So I wondered whether Level Up can provide a penalty for for each incorrect try in the activity level?

    Hi @Yezi,

    XP will track the grades but not the attempts themselves. So it is currently not possible to impose a penalty for re-attempting a quiz. The student will always give awarded the best grade they achieve.

    Hi!!

    We tried to use XP in Moodle 4.1.3+ and we found that when we wanted to open a language package to edit and personalize languages, this plug-in was hindering this possibility. Do you know why and how to avoid this problem?
    Thanks!

    Hi @Deb K,

    XP should be causing any troubles with the language customisations. Would you please describe the issue in more details? Would you have screenshots to share? You can email use directly at: support at levelup dot plus.

    Hi there.

    I've found that Level up XP awards points if I simply toggle a label completion on and off repeatedly. Could you make it so that once a label has been marked as complete it can no longer award more points? Or make it so it takes away the points if a student toggles completion off? That way students can't cheat and get bonus points for nothing... Thanks.

    Hi Gilbert. Thank you for your feedback. That is true that when students are able to change the completion status of an activity, they could potentially get rewards more than once. This is because the event course_module_completion_updated is triggered and matches the default "update" rule. Turning on the cheat guard in the settings should prevent students from spam clicking the completion button. Alternatively, XP+ has a separate rule for activity completion that checks that the activity is completed, and that completion points were not previously awarded.
