Getting XP from Comments about moodle-block_xp

[FMCorz]

Hi,

Experience points should be earned for each comment posted as long as they are posted from a course. I tried using the block "Comments" and it worked.

Cheers,
Fred

Bonjour Frédéric,

Okay thank YOU!

Hmmm, I will check it.... I checked it. I thaught I did MAYBE not start the
course - thats why it did not count XP but it was all correct.

Please find my problem attached.

I tired to narrow it down. Maybe ther is just the entry in the rules
dropdown missing - seen on the screenshot. I added some explanations as
screencast.

Thank you so much for helping me out! In case this is a bigger programmer
and coding Job - please inform us so we can use our budget to solve the
problem. :)

Hi Lennart,

Thanks a lot for the screencast. I have tried to replicate the configuration that appeared to be set but it worked out fine for me. Do you have access to the settings in the block? If yes, I would advise you to check the logs in which the event should appear, maybe it only contributes to 0 due to some rules.

Note that you may want to relax the cheat guard to make your testing easier.

What Moodle version are you using? What version of the block? Maybe a backup of the blocks in the course would help me finding the problem but everything seems to indicate that it resides outside of the block.

Cheers,
Fred

Okay thanks for the advice. I will try it after my business trip some day
next week.

I will look for the log and deactivate the cheat guard. Good idea. :)

I am a little confused because i did not find the rule for that particular
comment block. There are a lot of comments for several objects like the
forum or wiki etc... but it seems that i can not select this block in the
"add rule" dropdown in the settings of the "Level Up / XP"-Settings.

I come back to you next week!

Thank you!
Kindly Lennart

Dear Fred,

I have checked your ideas and recomendations. It did not help or work...
The Comment Block does not work with the XP Plug-in or Badges /
Achievements.

We also miss the option to give badges by rules. This is nicely shown in
this plugin for wordpress.

http://codecanyon.net/item/wpachievements-wordpress-achievements-plugin/4265703

Do you have any ideas how to handle this xp issue with the coment block?
Is it possible to ask for a cooperation in order to implove the existing
plugins?

Kindly Lennart

Hi Lennart,

I am happy to cooperate in order to get your issue fixed, but first we need to identify the cause which is unclear at the moment.

Let's not mix-match too many things here. Badges are completely independent to block_xp, Achievements must also be something that is separate to the plugin itself.

Here are a few things I'd need answer on:

• What Moodle version are you using?
• What version of the plugin block_xp are you using?
• What version of the plugin block_comment are you using?
• Would you have an backup of the course that you could share with me? fred at fmcorz dot net

Thanks!
Fred

Hi Lennart,

I have just sent you an email. I have used your backup and everything went fine, so I'm not quite sure what the problem could be.

Cheers,
Fred

[LennartBolduan]

Okay. Would you mind checking my first E-Mail?

We can not find the XP option in the dropdown menue.

Erm... I'm confused.

What email?
What menu?
What "XP" option?

[LennartBolduan]

Hi Frédéric,

as we talked a lot i would like to sum up the issue to get on the same page
again. :)

We are currently implementing the following plugins and I am trying to
create some guides for our staff.
block_xp (2.0.1 to be updated soon) - by Frédéric Massart -
https://moodle.org/plugins/block_xp

As I understood it - these plugins use Moodle standart functions such as:
block_badges
availability_completion

Now we would like to use these in order to create a moodle course for our
students.

Therefore

1. we would like to receive XP for placing a comment.
   We can not select the comments in the rule - settings. It is not listed in
   the dropdown menue.
2. we would like to give Badges by rules or for reaching 1000 XP or so.
   We can not add conditions to the Bades like: Receive 1000 XP
3. we would like to get a Popup for receiving a Badge.
   We get only a system message in moodle that we have a new badge - we would
   like to get a faster feedback

What do you think? Can you hel us with this issues?

Kindly Lennart

Hi Lennart,

1/ Yes, it is possible. I have tested on my side, and using your backup and it did work.
2/ I'm afraid this is not possible at the moment, it is blocked by https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-39864
3/ That may be possible but it would require custom development, which is not directly related to block_xp

Cheers,
Fred

Closing this as it does not appear to be a bug.
