    Hi Ricardo,

    This is very hard to debug, could you possibly ask your System Administrator to look at the error reporting (logs) and see what is happening? The error 500 is very generic.

    Thanks!

    Hello Frédéric! Can you help me? A have a problem, my students can not seen block "Level up" when I see them. I clear the cache,change the roles , but no results. In the "rights" of students is that they can see the block. What could be the problem?

    Did you check the permissions on their roles? (earnxp, xp:view, ...)
  • Arthur Engalychev

    Yes, i did. I even gave the right to add this unit, but students still do not see this unit, it only
    sees the administrator, the teacher also sees his pictures without the stars

    in the roles I have set to give the right to all that concerns the unit of experience, But they still can't see it. The administrator can see in the log what experiences have they had, but students don't see themselves

    is there a detailed user manual, after installing the plugin for the roles?
  • Frédéric Massart ⭐
    Wed, 18 May 2016, 2:54 PM
    There isn't, but the default permissions should be enough for default 'student' role to work. There must be another permission that conflicts with those ones. Any user that has the permission 'block/xp:view' in the context of the course where the block is displayed should see it.

    I checked the rights of all roles, everywhere is "Give the right", but the student still doesn't see. I also put other topics, no change, cleaned the cache too, nothing has changed. What could be the conflict?

    Hi Frédéric, first of all thank you for the amazing plugin.

    I really wanted to award my students based on their activity grades, but I know it's not possible. However I think i found a "not ideal "solution but it should work. Here it goes:

    1)I can set the conclusion criteria of an activity to be "grade > 70%"
    2)I can assign a badge criteria to be "when an activity is completed".
    3)I can track when a badge is awarded and give points for that.

    The problem is that i can't create a rule that tracks a badge being awarded.
    I tried so many things, such as: name component equals "core/event/badge_awarded"

    If I look at my general log from site administration i can see that the event was triggered.

    Do you know how to solve that?

    Thank you for any help!

    Hi Leonardo,

    Interesting method, that's clever. Now the problem that you're facing is that the badge awarded event is of type "Teaching" and will therefore not be used to attribute XP points to a user. Also, the context of the event may not be inside a course which would be another factor preventing it from counting.

    Sorry I can't be of any help.
