    Hi,
    I am trying to figure out how the cheat guard works. I have set the Time required between identical actions to 60 minutes, but when I do the same thing (wieving a book chapter) with a test user, I keep getting xp for it. Am I missing something, or diong something wrong?
    Thanks!

    Hi,

    I have tried this on my side and it seems to work the way it was designed. In my tests, I could get experience points for each chapter, not repeatedly for the same chapter. If you would prefer rewarding your students for viewing the book, then I would suggest using the "Course module viewed" event instead.

    I hope this answers your question.

    Thanks!

    Hi, Moodle Mobile supports requires "Level up! Plus" which is available for purchase on our website.

    I'm wondering if anyone else has had trouble with this block adding points for actions on stealth activities? I have a course that is not awarding points for posts to a forum even though the rules are configured to do so. I'm not sure why it's not working, but I notice that the Logs in Level Up are not showing any of the actions that are defined in the rule set. And it occurs to me that this is the first time we're using this block with Stealth activities.

    I was able to install the plugin and add a block to a course, but when I attempt to edit settings, access report, ladder or info of the block at the course level I get
    "Coding error detected, it must be fixed by a programmer: Controller for route not found."

    I get the same error when attempting to access the Default level, Default rules, and Default Visuals from the plugin settings from the Site Administration tree. Has anyone else encountered this issue?

    I am running Moodle 3.2

    Hi Sean,

    Something tells me that you are using Nginx. Please make sure that it is properly configured for Moodle use if that's the case. (https://docs.moodle.org/33/en/Nginx)
    If that's not the case, you could try to disable "slasharguments" in the Moodle admin settings.

    If Nginx is properly configured, or you are not using Nginx, please get in touch with me at level at branchup dot tech.

    Thanks!

    Good morning!

    Just a quick query - is it possible to link LevelUp to user profile pictures? It would be great to feature a way that users profile pictures can change as they progress through levels!

    Thanks

    Hi Eddie,

    That's an interesting request. I agree that it could be fun, except if all students have the same level, in which case it would be harder to distinguish who is who.

    Are you aware of Mootivated? They offer a gamification solution which allows students to create their own avatar, pretty neat! Check the out at https://www.mootivated.com

    Thanks!

    Can I add points directly to a user and show them in their points?
