    Hi Michell. You can modify any user's points by clicking the cog icon in the report. At this point there is no other way to add or remove points to a user, though we are working on a feature allowing teachers do issue punctual rewards.

    Hi, Thank you for this amazing plugin. Is there a way to display the ladder in a block for all participants to see without having to click on the ladder link?

    Hi Shehzad,

    Not at this stage. Please raise an issue on Github if you feel strongly about this feature.

    Thanks!

    How can I implement points for course completion? I don't see it available anywhere...

    Hi Eleanor, I responded to your email. You should find this in the "Rules" screen. For others, note that this feature requires Level up! Plus.

    I installed Level up but I can't add it to all course pages, it appears on administration pages. It doesn't appear when I try to add a block on course pages.

    Hi Robert,

    That must be because you set the block to be used "For the whole site", which means that one instance of the block will be used for all courses. If that's what you want, then edit the instance of the block you added on the front page, and set it to be displayed on all pages throughout the site.

    If you want a different points count for each course, then set the block to be used "Per course". That setting is in Site administration > Plugins > Blocks > Level up!.

    Thanks for this plugin. I just started sing it but I already think it may help motivate the students.
    By the way, is it possible to add a rule to give points based on activity completion (with "Require passing grade" enabled)?

    Hi Rafael.

    Thank you for your feedback, I'm glad our plugin is having a positive effect on your students.

    Yes, activity completion based rewards is available in our Plus version, you can find more information about it at http://levelup.branchup.tech. Do not hesitate to contact us if you need more information.

    Hi Narin. This option is not available at this point. Would you mind creating an issue on Github? I agree that it would be nice. Thanks!

    HOw do I remoce the plugin, there is no uninstall function?
  • Frédéric Massart ⭐

    Hi Mignon, this option should be available unless there are other plugins depending on it. Please check "Site administration > Plugins > Plugins overview". Thanks!

    Great plugin! Is there a way to limit the XP for a particular activity?
    i.e. you get 10 xp for adding a wiki page, but the max is 40, so you can only add 4 wiki pages.

    Hi Onno. No, at this stage this isn't possible. Cheers! Fred
