    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?
  • Frédéric Massart ⭐
    дүш. 9 гыйн. 2023, 12:55
    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!
  • Frédéric Massart ⭐
    якш. 15 гыйн. 2023, 11:10
    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.
