How to use one block for all courses?

In order to gather experience points from all the courses a student is participating in, you have to set the admin setting Where are experience points used? to 'For the whole site'. This setting is located under "Site administration > Plugins > Blocks > Level up! > General settings". Once set, any block newly or previously added will display the total experience points of your students.

How are experience points calculated?

Please refer to the Level up! documentation.

How to unlock content at a certain level?

Please refer to the Level up! documentation.

How to unlock a course at a certain level?

Please refer to the Level up! documentation.

Shortcodes supported

What are those? Shortcodes can be used in text editors throughout Moodle to include or modify the content. The plugin Shortcodes must be installed to enable them.

Level up! comes with shortcodes to display the learner's level badge, their progress bar, or even the leaderboard anywhere you like. Shortcodes can also be used to conditionally display content according to a learner's current level. For a list of available shortcodes and their documentation, please refer to Level up! documentation.

Merci pour cette réponse rapide. Je crois que je n'ai pas bien compris le principe dans ce cas: je cherche un plugin qui fait des battle afin de motiver les élèves. Vous me dites que LevelUp reprend les données de Moodle, s'il ne s'agit pas des points obtenus aux questions que l'on peut créer dans moodle à travers diverses activités de quiz, je ne comprends pas la nature des données concernées. Je vous remercie d'avance

Bonjour Christine. Level up! peut aider à créer une compétition amicale, simplement les points que Level up! donne aux élèves dépendent des actions portées par ces derniers dans Moodle. Level up! tel quel ne pose pas de question, et n'offre pas de contenu, il observe ce qui se passe et attribue des points en fonction. Dans sa version payante, il est possible d'attribuer des points correspondants aux notes reçues. Nous vous conseillons d'essayer Level up!, et de naviguer dans l'onglet des règles afin de consulter les méthodes d'attribution de points.

Hi Frederic! I'm having a problem overwriting the default rules. I've changed the XP value of every rule to Zero but still the student is earing points for these actions. What could be the problem? I deleted the cache but the problem persists. thanks for your help!

Hi Felipe, there may be two reasons for this. Either you are not editing the rules from the right place, either you are changing the default rules from the admin, which are the rules that are applied to new instances of the block, or you may be changing the rules in a context that is not the one where students are earning the coins, we recommend that you check the logs from the plugin. The other reason is that the other rules are placed below the default ones. The easiest way to "disable" the default rules is simply by removing them altogether. For more help on how to debug the rules, please see this: https://levelup.plus/docs/article/event-rule-not-working

Hello Frederic, thanks for your response. You're right, I was doing the rule setting in the General Plugin part and not in the course rules. Now it's working correctly. Thank you so much!

If you are not willing to pay for it, it's useless. Does any one know any real free alternative to level up?

Hi Rafael, we're sorry that the features found in the free plugin do not meet your requirements. We have never removed any features from the free version, and those have been present long before the introduction of the Plus package. Since then, we have added features to both versions to support both the community and our customers.

hi, sorry if this is a silly question but how exactly do I restrict access for user depending on their rating/score/whatever?
Frédéric Massart ⭐
Tue, Apr 13, 2021, 10:21 PM
Hi Glenn, this would have to be done using the core "Restrict access" function of Moodle itself, here is the documentation page about it: https://docs.moodle.org/en/Restrict_access

Thanks Frederic. Any idea why there wouldn't be an option to use Level Up! restrictions in course/lesson options? Moodle version is 3.8.3+ I only see the standard options like "User must be in a cohort" or "User must complete that element"

Hi Glenn, would you please confirm that you installed and enabled the "Level up! Availability" (availability_xp) plugin?

Oh yeah I don't have it. I didn't know I need it. I'll install it asap and say if that fixes the issue, thanks

Hi, Frédéric!
I have a small problem with this plugin. Can't see any way to display the level up block in the mobile app on my moodle 3.7. Block located at the dashboard page. I'm sure that it worked well in previous versions, but now it's just not displaying any information about level, or xp, or anything. Can you please tell me how to fix it?

Hi Алексей, we only added support for the mobile app via the Level up! Plus add-on, we haven't removed any mobile support from any version since it was introduced. We suspect that the issues you are experiencing are due to a change between the Moodle versions you migrated from and to.

I get it. It works on the plus version of the plugin. Thanks for answering me.
