Hi Najib - this is right - it's been frustrating for us having to recreate the menu items when we've upgraded. However, I have a db query that identifies which modules have LX tools on menu, what menu position and the name link, so we can recreate the links for staff after an upgrade. Also, we are promised by LX that after the latest version this will no longer apply (we've been complaining about it) but I'm here in Durham and Zahara is here with the LX team so I'll check that is still the case.

Hi Najib
If you have a course level blog with a direct link on the course menu (created through Modify Course Menu > Add Tool > Add Blog / Journal) then this direct link will disappear. At that point, the blog is still available via the Course Tools menu. To get the direct link back, instructors just need to add the link to their Course Menu again (as above).
Best wishes

Hi,
We are using BB 6.3 and are experiencing a problem with Campus Pack blogs, staff member set up a blog which is now giving n error. We escalated this to BB support who advised to upgrade Journal LX.
We are using Jounal LX 2.7.13 and will be up gradring to 2.7.16.7984
Reading the upgrade (upgrade to ver 2.8x) guide by Learning objects there is a paragraph which says:
* All Journal LX content remains in the system during an upgrade. There is no need to do anything to any Journal sites or their content.
* If a link to the Journal LX tool existed in the course menu prior to upgrade, the link must be re-created after upgrade. The content that existed in the tool prior to upgrade will be accessible after re-creating the link
I just wanted some guide on what link is being talked about?
Any help welcome.
