      <description>by Damyon Wiese. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;Hi Krisha, you should be able to restore the latest version of this plugin by unzipping the backup that was made in [moodledata]/temp/core_plugin/code_manager/archive/tool_lpimportcsv/[number].zip to [moodleroot]/admin/tool/importcsv.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>by Krisha Moeller. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;Oh geez. I went to install this plugin from the version listed as the most recent version here (not realizing it was already installed in the most recent version of moodle), and it turns out the version found here is a &quot;downgrade.&quot; Unfortunately, now I'm trapped in a loop where I can't cancel the downgrade, it forces me to try to install it, and then it give me an error message, and then forces me to try to install it again. I can't get anywhere else on my Moodle site until this issue is resolved. I've tried &quot;looking for most recent version,&quot; but still nothing. Please help! &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>by Boris Malysh. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;Hello everybody, I have the same issue as Shawn Bullivant. Except that I haven't intalled the plugin since it's already in the core (I'm using moodle 3.2). Below I'll describe the process, hoping it would help identify the root of the problem:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
1 - So, I made this csv file looking like that:&lt;br&gt;
Parent ID number;ID number;Short name;Description;Description format;Scale values;Scale configuration;Rule type;Rule outcome;Rule config (optional);Cross-referenced competency ID numbers;Exported ID (optional);Is framework;Taxonomy&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Only the first four columns have data. All the others (beginning with &quot;Description format&quot;) are empty since I don't know how to fill them.&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
2 - Then I drop the file into the box on the &quot;Import competency framework&quot; page;&lt;br&gt;
I set  &lt;br&gt;
CSV delimiter -  ;&lt;br&gt;
and  &lt;br&gt;
Encoding - UTF-8&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
3 - As I hit the &quot;Import button&quot;, I see the following:&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
Confirm the column mappings&lt;br&gt;
Parent ID number - Parent ID number&lt;br&gt;
ID number - ID number&lt;br&gt;
Short name - Short name&lt;br&gt;
Description - Description&lt;br&gt;
Description format - Description format&lt;br&gt;
Scale values - Scale values&lt;br&gt;
Scale configuration - Scale configuration&lt;br&gt;
Rule type (optional) - Rule type (optional)&lt;br&gt;
Rule outcome (optional) - Rule outcome (optional)&lt;br&gt;
Rule config (optional) - Rule config (optional)&lt;br&gt;
Cross-referenced competency ID numbers - Cross-referenced competency ID numbers&lt;br&gt;
Exported ID (optional) - Exported ID (optional) &lt;br&gt;
Is framework - Is framework&lt;br&gt;
Taxonomy - Taxonomy&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
4 - When I hit &quot;Confirm&quot;, I'm taken back to the &quot;Import competency framework&quot; showing the message &quot;File format is invalid.&quot;&lt;br&gt;
&lt;br&gt;
I would add all the competencies manually, but there are over 1000 of them. &lt;br&gt;
I do really need help with this import. So, any suggestions are apreciated.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

I simply have 3 columns in a spreadsheet and have saved as a CSV file to upload. &lt;br&gt;
Any help would be appreciated&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>by Helen Foster. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;Hi Natalie, it is indeed the case that you can currently only use this import tool on a site where you can install plugins. However, the good news is that the Import competency framework admin tool will be included as standard in Moodle 3.2 (&lt;a title=&quot;Auto-link to Moodle Tracker&quot; href=&quot;https://moodle.atlassian.net/browse/MDL-55767&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;MDL-55767&lt;/a&gt;), and your &lt;a title=&quot;Auto-link&quot; href=&quot;https://moodlecloud.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;MoodleCloud&lt;/a&gt; site is likely to be upgraded very soon after release. &lt;img class=&quot;icon emoticon&quot; alt=&quot;smile&quot; title=&quot;smile&quot; src=&quot;https://moodle.org/theme/image.php/moodleorg/core/1779453963/s/smiley&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>by Xanthe Lawson. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;text_to_html&quot;&gt;Hi Daymo, thanks for your work on this plugin. We are experimenting with it and just wanted to confirm whether you can only import one framework at a time. I've tried importing a CSV file with several frameworks, but it's only creating one of them in Moodle. Is this correct behaviour?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

Does this mean I can only use the import function on a self-hosted Moodle Site where I can install this plugin? (not Moodle Cloud for Schools) &lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/p&gt;</description>

      <description>by David Mudrák. &amp;nbsp;&lt;p&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;no-overflow&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thanks Damyon for sharing the plugin with the Moodle community. I was able to successfully test the basic functionality and did not notice any issues with the code that would block the approval here (not that I would expect them &lt;img class=&quot;icon emoticon&quot; alt=&quot;wink&quot; title=&quot;wink&quot; src=&quot;https://moodle.org/theme/image.php/moodleorg/core/1779453963/s/wink&quot;&gt;). I was checking the input data sanitization and it seems to be processed well in the framework_importer class. The raised coding style issues look like easy to fix things and at least replacing &lt;code&gt;var&lt;/code&gt; with proper visibility scope identifiers &lt;code&gt;public&lt;/code&gt; could make it in the next update (folks tend to see plugins submitted by HQ members as referential ones).&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I am happy to approve this now. You are cleared to land, welcome to the &lt;a title=&quot;Auto-link&quot; href=&quot;https://moodle.org/plugins&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;noreferrer&quot;&gt;Plugins directory&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
