Stash

Hi Adrian,
Ah yes--a teacher could reset the stash manually for each student, but as you pointed out not practical at all!!
Follow up question: I was actually trying to see if there was a way when a Course Reset is done at the end of the semester when a teacher is clearing out a course to be a "fresh" instance for the start of a new semester in which Moodle unenrolls students, clears out the gradebook, course completion logs, etc. if Stash could also reset and clear out old students.
This would be important especially for "scarce / rare" items, since that is a cool gamification feature you implemented that actually motivates some students!!! For example, I hid some scarce / rare "unicorn cheetahs" throughout my first unit that only the first few students to get over 90% on certain core assignments and earning a "golden certificate" could also snatch one of the rare cheetahs! One of my students was annoyed that his friend got one during his lunch, and was motivated to beat his friend for the next unit!!
Thanks again for sharing your great work with the Moodle community and supporting student learning around the world!!

Hi Joe,
Thanks for your kind words about our plugin.
I'm sorry to say that we don't currently have a way to reset the stash. I take it that you only want to remove all of the items that students have collected? You can reset each users stash individually in the report page, but this does become impractical with any meaningful number of students in a course.

Adrian and Frederic--just wanted to add my "THANKS!" for such a great plugin for gamification and motivating students!!!! Using some hidden treasure items, adding some fun with animated GIFs, as well as the trade feature to unlock "power ups" in a course help to keep students motivated!
The scarce, limited, "rare" item feature is AWESOME--finally implemented it in my course and students are motivated to be the first to unlock and find the rare items in a fun, competitive way!
Question: I was wondering if there is a way to "reset" the Stash for a course so that we can reset the gamification for another semester?
It looks like Course Reset won't clear out the Stash, and I'm thinking that would also effect the scarce/rare items not being available to future students since they were already claimed (workaround would be for the classroom teacher to just add to the scarce count, but that would get potentially very confusing!).
Thanks again for sharing your FANTASTIC work with the Moodle community!

Hi
I hope you are well, it's been ages. Stash appears to work on Moodle 5. Could you update the supported extension on your end to Moodle 5 so that it installs automatically each week when we update our Moodle instance? It saves us so much time. Cheers.

Another question.
It's possible change the image of a object if any students has already been picked up.
Thanks in advanced.
PS: Thanks for the last answer Adrian Greeve.

Hi Guys, i just installed Stash 2.1.1 (2024091200) on Moodle 4.5+ (Build: 20241101). Stash block is available on course level. However, it is not available on site level under Site Administration. Is this the norm or is there any setting to tweak to manage it at site level?

Hello Baltasar, in your example once you click 'Unlimited' the 5 entered in before is ignored. So you would have option b) Every day one appears and there is no limit.

I have a question about award recurrences.
For example, if I put:
Supplies: 5 and I put unlimited and, in recurrence, I put 1 day.
This means that:
(a) Each day a maximum of 5 appear and there is no limit?
b) Every day one appears and there is no limit?
Thanks in advance

Hello Ed Wright. I've not heard of the template course creation plugin until now. It will take me some time to download it, test it, and find where the problem is. If the problem actually stems from the other plugin I'll unfortunately not be able to fix it.

Hi, this plugin is great, works perfectly on individual courses, but I am using the "Use template on course creation" plugin and if I include stash items in the template courses, when I create a new course based on a template it seems to copy the first stash item to the new course, but then the copy process stalls and no other content is copied from the template (e.g. other stash items, sections, pages, quizzes etc).

hello, it doesn't work on the app. when the student login the app, the button doesn't work, and the image just shows a litle bit

Hi Adrian,
After some thought, I don't remember how I did it.
I have restored the course but I am sure I will replicate the error again. I think it was actually when creating a trade store.
I'll keep you posted when it happens to me and again, thanks for the excellent plugin.
Regards

Hi Baltasar,
Thanks for the message, can you tell me how you managed to add the block twice in your course? I'd like to be able to replicate the problem and find a fix.

Hi!
I have installed this wonderful plugin but I make a mistake and add two blocks in a course.
Now I can't acces to the course if this block is activate.
How can I delete one of the block of the course.
Thanks in advanced

Thank you for the kind word of encouragement Matt. I'll think on your idea after I finish my current project which is the removal of items to access the quiz. To everyone here using stash, what other activities would be useful to pay for entry? Quiz has nice ways for stash to create this feature, but other activities are likely to be more difficult. If quiz is the only one then I can move onto something else.
