Plugin release failure (with no helpful error messages!)

I'm trying to release a new version of `qtype_stack` which we've tested with Moodle 5.2 and which here: https://github.com/maths/moodle-qtype_stack/releases/tag/v4.12.0-s

As previously, I've released this through the moodle plugin database using the web image, selecting the source control tag.

The .zip downloads (56mb, so within stated limits), but then the page hangs with a very vague "Something seems to be wrong with the Internet." error message. This is three consecutive days, on different networks so it's unlikely to be a temporary internet connection issue.

Can anyone help please? Is there a better way to debug this? (I have no idea what the plugin DB is doing at that end...).

Thanks, it would be great to get the new plugin released!

Early bird 5.2

Hello fellow Moodlers!

Moodle 5.2 is out! This new release brings plenty of reasons to dive in, explore what’s new, and make sure your plugins are all set for the latest version of Moodle! And of course, that means it’s time for the traditional Early bird challenge!

For the next three weeks, plugin developers have the chance to test, polish, and release updates that are fully compatible with Moodle 5.2. Any plugin with a verified 5.2-compatible version available by Monday, 20 April 2026, 23:59 UTC will earn the Early bird 5.2 badge.

A quick reminder of what’s expected:

Test your plugin thoroughly with Moodle 5.2 (automated tests like Behat and PHPUnit can save you time!).
Fix any warnings, notices, or regressions you find.
Release a new version, or mark your existing one as compatible if you’ve confirmed it works perfectly.

Please note that simply marking compatibility isn’t enough — the goal is to ensure real testing and quality. We may withhold or revoke badges if a plugin doesn’t appear to have been properly verified. Late submissions can’t be accepted.

You can track the growing list of 5.2-compatible plugins in the Plugins directory

Take over maintenance : block_myprogress

Hi everyone.

I'm pleased to announce the Premium Moodle Partner E-learning Touch' will be taking over the maintenance of this block :

https://moodle.org/plugins/block_myprogress

I've contacted Willian Mano and he has given us his consent.

Thanks to him 👍.

The fork is done.

I was already listed as the plugin maintainer, so all I need to do now is add the Elearningtouch account and update the plugin’s display range.

Over the next two weeks, we’ll review the plugin’s code to make it compatible with the latest versions of Moodle.

@David or @Victor, is there anything else I need to do? Just update the source control and leads?

Cheers.

100 downloads in just one month — thank you! 🎮🎉

100 downloads in just one month — thank you! 🎮🎉

PlayerHUD launched in early March 2026, and in just one month it has already reached 100 downloads. I'm genuinely grateful to everyone who's giving it a try.

PlayerHUD is a completely free and open-source gamification system for Moodle — not a demo, not a freemium tier, just the full package. It brings a complete set of engagement mechanics to your courses:

* XP & level progression with visual tier badges that evolve every 5 levels;
* A drop system to place collectible items across your course content;
* An NPC shop where students trade items for rewards;
* A ranking system with tie-breaker logic and privacy controls;
* Built-in analytics and reports for teachers;
* Optional AI-powered item generation (bring your own API key).

All of this at no cost, built to Moodle's coding and accessibility standards.

Check it out: https://moodle.org/plugins/block_playerhud.

What's next? A major update is already in the works — expect new automation features and a brand-new Quests system. Stay tuned. 👀

Feedback, ideas, and feature requests are always welcome — this project grows with the community. 🚀
