Stash
Frédéric Massart ⭐The stash block is a good way to encourage more interaction with activities and is invaluable for teachers looking to gamify their course.
This plugin introduces a block that shows students items that they have picked up through the course.
The teacher can create items and then place them in activities and resources for students to find.
Items can be set to be collected once and encourages exploration of the course material. It is also possible to set an item to have an unlimited supply from a set location. This could encourage students to return to specific areas to collect more items.

? Thank you very muc
How to fix it? Thanks.
Thank you for the bug report. We will have a new version by the end of this week with a fix for this message. Unfortunately I think that this message hides a deeper issue that we are unaware of at the moment. Can you tell us what message you get once you have upgraded to the new version?
If you have access to the code then you can make the changes listed here - https://github.com/FMCorz/moodle-block_stash/commit/0d4fe778bf157237a1e34d1130eb16e4d42d49a5

The course is 100% inaccessible, with an "Error reading fro database" message". I'm running the latest Moodle v3.8.3+ and the latest (apparently?) version of Stash. Any assistance is appreciated.
Were you using version 1.3.1 or earlier before upgrading to 1.3.3? I suspect that after uploading stash to the latest version, that the site hasn't run the upgrade code and that is why you are seeing this error. Please log in as the administrator (or contact the administrator) and kick off the site upgrade.
Please let me know if that hasn't fixed your problem.
Your plugin is awesome, adds an interesting gamification to the courses, but now we have a problem, on a test course of our Moodle 3.8 platform. After a student pick-ups all the items, the items don't appear for other students and our admin account, only after change the config of limited item, then appear again.
The only thing that I can think of that would result in the above code not being changed is that the filter has been disabled. As an administrator go to Site administration > Plugins > Filters > Manage filters - and check that "Shortcodes" is active.
Can you also describe what a simple page is? Does it have an editor when you are adding text to it? Is block_stash working in other areas?
. I just copy and paste the code into the page. This is my first block_stash. :'(. The page is available when I mark a lesson as finished. So, it suppossed that student gets in and take the reward. That's all. Is the code right? I saw in the video other instructions in javascript.
Which theme are you using? If you are using Snap, because of the unique way it shows pages in-line, the Stash filter isn't active on the main course page. If you manually create a link to the page (e.g. "Enter HERE to pick up treasure!" and create a hyperlink to the page), then students can pick up the Stash item since the shortcode filter can parse the code.
Hope that helps.
