    Hi All,
    I am trying this plugin on Moodle 3.4.2 installed on windows and the database is MSSQL.
    I added the block to a course and when pressing any link including ladder and settings I got the below error

    Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: Controller for route not found.

    More information about this error

    ×Debug info:
    Error code: codingerror
    ×Stack trace:
    line 95 of \blocks\xp\classes\local\routing\router.php: coding_exception thrown

    Hi Mohamed,

    This must be caused by a misconfiguration of nginx, please refer to the following thread: https://github.com/FMCorz/moodle-block_xp/issues/79

    Cheers,
    Fred

    Hi Frédéric,
    I followed the URL but I can't see any guides for windows and IIS, do you have a direct link on how to apply this in windows and IIS?
  • Frédéric Massart ⭐
    Thu, 24 May 2018, 6:01 PM
    Hi Mohamed. I'm not familiar with IIS, but according to this documentation (https://docs.moodle.org/33/en/Internet_Information_Services#URL_rewriting), the problem should solve itself by using a rewrite rule such as: {R:1}\?_r={R:2}

    Hi Frédéric,
    I had applied the URL rewrite rule and restarted the IIS, but still having the same error.
    a screenshot of what I did here https://taifedusa-my.sharepoint.com/:i:/g/personal/matia_tu_edu_sa/EbifsmWODXJJnFqICuKzDUIBp12uK1hbya0wJZtiFuDANQ?e=MiGjs3

    any Idea how to troubleshoot this?

    This does not include the rule I suggested to use. The alternative is to disable slasharguments altogether.

    Hi Frederic,
    I created a new rewrite rule you can check it here https://1drv.ms/u/s!Amdk-vbboLpgh0qcGTN2p81i8R60 and I also made a test pattern shown in the screenshot is that the expected values for the rewrite?
  • Mohamed Atia
    Sun, 27 May 2018, 2:11 AM
    Hi Frederic,
    It is now working fine for me
    the pattern should be ^(blocks\/xp\/[^\?]+?\.php)(\/.+)$
    and the rewrite URL should be {R:1}?_r={R:2}
    screenshot below show the correct rule for the workaround

    https://1drv.ms/u/s!Amdk-vbboLpgh0taTJqtwiOcaXFE

    Thank you for your help smile

    this rewrite {R:1}\?_r={R:2} is not correct

    Hi Frédéric,
    Thanks a lot for combining Level up with Shortcodes. Brilliant! Finally I can display Ladder directly in html block. However, it would be great if ladder could be displayed more neatly or directly in Level up blocks instead of redirecting to a page.

    Hi Phuong, thank you for your feedback, we will consider it for future upgrades. Feel free to raise issues on Github if you have other concerns. Thanks!

    Also, note that the shortcode xpladder is _not_ the just the top 5, it is actually displayed according to the current user. As you probably are an admin/teacher and are not ranked, you see the top students. If you login as the 20th student, the ladder will show students ranked from 18th to the 24th.

    Hi Frederic,

    Love the plugin! Thanks for the great work!

    Question - is it possible to grade a certain number of XP based on a grade received in a quiz?

    For example, a quiz will have 5 Grade Boundaries, being High Distinction, Distinction, Credit, Pass, Fail. Is it possible award say 10XP for HD, 8 for D, 6 for C, 3 for P and 0 for F?

    Appreciate the assistance!

    Cheers,
    Ray

    Hi Ray. Thanks for your kind words. Not grade-based rewards are not supported at the moment, but it's high on our priority list!

    Cool plugin! On my site, I want to reward participants who rate the forum posts of other participants. I’d also like to display the name of the poster’s level next to forum posts (e.g. “Beginner,” “Expert” etc.). It doesn’t look like the current short-codes would support that— I only see the ability to display based on the current user. Do you have any suggestions?
