Split an existing list into levels

Community-Created Courses
21

There’s several ways to go about this. Here’s the probably easiest one (here using Firefox):

  • edit your course and click Databases/[your database]
  • right-click the words/level label on the far right:
    image
  • click Inspect Element:
    image
  • the inspector appears and selects the item that starts with <span class=“add-on”…
  • click the row underneath this row:
    image
  • double-click somewhere near the end of data-role=“course-pool-levelify”
  • the editor appears
  • go to the end of the entry (usually hitting cursor-right should do)
  • add a whitespace and then style=“width:50px”
  • press the enter key
  • here’s what it should look like after you pressed enter:
    image
  • you should see the block with x words/level move to the left
  • if you now hover your mouse over the area right to the above area your mouse pointer should turn into a hand
  • click to actually start the splitting process

Let me know whether or not this worked for you.

@MemriseSupport, @JBorrego: this bug has been around a whole while and should be fairly easy to fix - could you please see into this?

I’ve passed the feedback. Will let you know if we do something about it :slight_smile:

This has now been implemented, I hope you enjoy it. If there are no issues with it, I will close the topic in a couple of days. Thank you!

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.

Thanks

@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).

@MemriseSupport, @JBorrego, @lurkmoophy:

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.

in a one-level list, you have to add another level before you can choose your database and create new levels

I think that is standard - ie how it’s always worked.

It is almost like a hidden trick before you can work on the course.
