    @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!
  • Tue, Nov 22, 2022, 6:51 PM
    Hi @Parshva, not yet unfortunately, that is something we're hoping to ship in an upcoming release!
  • Tue, Nov 29, 2022, 10:10 AM
    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:

    PHP Notice: The renderer was requested too early in the process.* line 383 of /local/xp/classes/local/container.php: call to debugging()

    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.
  • Mon, Dec 12, 2022, 10:49 AM
    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.
  • Tue, Dec 13, 2022, 8:34 AM
    I have Moodle 3.11.2, Level Up XP Version 3.12.1 and Level Up XP+ Version 1.12.1 (Pro).
  • Tue, Dec 13, 2022, 1:50 PM
    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?
  • Mon, Jan 9, 2023, 12:55 PM
    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!
  • Sun, Jan 15, 2023, 11:10 AM
    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.
