before we do that, it might indeed be a good idea to save the words. do you know how I can retrieve the words in whatever format ?
additional question (that has basically nothing to do with levels) : do you know exactly what the Auto-Learning option is ? I was thinking it would let me escape from the tedious process of having to repeat new words 6 times before they’re planted. I tried it, clicked on new words and no, I still have to repeat. so I have no idea what this Auto-Learning option actually does.
There’s several ways of doing this. The easiest for you (as you have no audio) is to use the “Memrise Utilities”, see this posting. I have just downloaded your complete word list so I could also just PM it to you (as tab-delimited CSV which is what the utility gives you or as a Excel XSLX file into which I converted it).
The auto-learn script is not provided my Memrise itself, it’s a script that extends the Memrise web application (it does not work in the apps!). You can find out more about it here. And yes, it saves you from having to go through 6 repetitions to flag a word as “learned”.
Ah, rethinking the Auto-Learning option: we were actually talking cross topics there. I was referring to what learners may use to not have to go through the 6 reps. What you were referring to however is the option that you - as a course creator - can opt to not have to learn the words at all. I haven’t ever tried that, so I don’t know how or whether or not this works, I just recall having come across this. Two different things!
if you can PM ( I didn’t even you could attach files to PM’s on this forum) me the list in both formats, that would be great, thanks so much ! then we can proceed into splitting the list.
and no, what I was saying is I wanted to male one rep instead of six (ut when you come to think of it, one rep or no reps is basically the same because words need to be reviewed). I added the script and I’ll see how it works.
I thought so, but obviously, you can only attach images to PMs sent via the forum. That said, you can PM me your email address and I’ll send it over to you. If you wish to keep your anonymity I can also upload it to like my Dropbox so you can download it. Either way’s fine with me, just LMK.
Ah, well that won’t work. Users working on community courses will always have to go through those 6 reps in order to learn a word. Not unless they install the Auto-Learn script themselves, that is.
^ This is also good for making the course slightly easier too. A wonderful guy yesterday clued me into maybe my conlang might be slightly harder than Japanese or French, so I may need to look over it to see what I can do.
I just tried a few days ago to delete a (test) level - obviously the words disappeared (i.e. they weren’t in any level anymore). Of course, unless they were in another level.
However, all the words remained in the database - it’s possible to re-add them to any existing and new level. I believe that is how it is supposed to work.
hi everyone,
I’m back with the same problem ie I want to split a list into levels of 50 words each. Olaf.Rabbachin kindly helped me the first time but I’d like to be able to do it myself this time. apparently, I just have to go into the debug mode and click on the button create levels that doesn’t appear in the normal mode. can someone tell me how to go debug and how to click on the button create levels there ?
there still lies one minor issues. in a one-level list, you have to add another level before you can choose your database and create new levels. but it seems to work on my computer too (I can see the button but I didn’t try yet).
could you try check later and let us know? if not, can you let me know the steps you are trying to follow and how would you expect it to behave exactly? I am not certain I catch what you mean fully.
@MemriseSupport & @JBorrego it seems that the control that would allow you to split a course into levels is now completely gone. Could you guys check, please?
I’ve tested this with both Firefox and Chrome, but even in the HTML I can’t see it anymore (I described this here).
I just saw into this once again. I can bring up the Create levels controls by doing the following:
(applies to a course that has no levels yet)
I click the Add Level button (bottom left) and confirm the popup-message
the course now has two levels - the first containing all words, the second being empty
I click the Save and continue button
I click on Databases and select the database
the database view appears, with the Create levels button on the right / near the top
I enter a count of words and click the Create levels button
From here though, I can’t get the words to be split into levels. My test course has 20 words, but these don’t get split up. I tried with 5 and 10 words.
“Fun fact”: when I deleted the empty (!) 2nd level, 8 out of the 20 words got deleted.
