Aardvark 1.1 Pro (Original)
Here cometh the Aardvark!

From: Shaun Daubney
Requires: Moodle 1.9.x

Based on my previous "Alternatives" themeset.

This theme has a fixed width. To remove the fixed width, delete "max-width: 960px;" in aardvark_layout.css

Requirements

  • Moodle 1.9.5+ (Tested - other versions untested)
  • Firefox 3+, Safari 4+, IE7+ (others untested)
  • Standard Theme

Known Issues

  • Menu not compatible with IE6 or earlier
  • Main background colour and link colour not displaying in FF or Safari

Roadmap

Pro 1.1 (Bearhug) - Released

  • PIX Folder - Additional filetype icons added
  • aardvark_layout.css - Forum controls added to restrict posted images to fit on to page ".forumpost {width: auto;overflow:none;}" and ".forumpost img {max-width: 100%;}"
  • aardvark_layout.css - Removed "position" and "left" elements from ".cal_popup_bg ", ".surround" and ".header-profileblock" to fix calendar pop-ups.
  • aardvark_layout.css - Changed .surround to #surround
  • aardvark_color.css - Changed .surround to #surround
  • header.html - Changed <div class="surround"> to <div id="surround">
  • header.html - Correctly closed link in <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $CFG->httpsthemewww .'/'. current_theme() ?>/aardvark_print.css" type="text/css" media="print" />
  • aardvark_print.css - Added
  • various css - Changed header-profile classes (.) to IDs (#)
  • header.html - Changed header-profileblock class to ID
  • aardvark_default.css - Removed #header-home and placed contents in #logo
  • header.html - Made the header elements a little more PHP and removed redundant #header-home DIV. Now reads
    <?php print_container_start(true, '', 'header');
    echo '<div id="logo">';
    echo '<a href="'.$CFG->wwwroot.'" style="display: block; width: 247px; height: 96px;"> </a>';
    echo '</div>';
    echo '<div id="header-profileblock">';
    include('profileblock.php');
    echo '</div>';
    ?>
  • header.html - Validated markup! Woop!!!

Pro 1.0 (Morlock) - Released

  • Moved out of beta - A number of issues may still exist relating to appearance, however the theme has been extensively tested and is considered stable.
  • profilepic.php - Removed as it was no longer required.
  • footer.html - Added additional login and navigation controls to footer.
  • aardvark_color.css - "h2 .headingblock, .header" image changed to 50px height version

Beta 0.5 (Termite) - Released

  • Fixed some issues with header rendering in some browers
  • Moved to BETA, maybe still a couple of bugs and improvements, but generally stable.

Alpha 0.4 (Yeti) - Released

  • Hopefully fixed header login issues - untested except my build where it works
  • Replaced some missing icons from PIX folder
  • Themeswitch and JS Query files removed (for time being)

Alpha 0.3 (Critter) - Released

  • Added IF variable to show "login" option in header when user not logged in
  • New codename (based on default colour)
  • Replaced 'fixed typed' options with language adjustable versions from LANG.

Alpha 0.2 (Juiced) - Released

  • New colour scheme
  • Topic areas styled
  • Footer modified
  • Changes to calendar styles
  • Forums rough styled

Alpha 0.1 (Vertigo) - Released

  • Started again from scratch
  • New navigation menu (called Top Menu), now pure CSS
  • Lighter colour scheme
  • User profile details in header
  • Calendar styled

This theme will continue to be developed. If you like this theme and use it yourself, please let me know what types of modifications you make on the Moodle forums, I'd love to see them and maybe pinch some ideas for mine. Also always grateful to receive credit where credit's due.

I am a big fan of your themes but this one doesn't seem to work well on my site. Nothing is in line properly. See attached image.

I can't seem to replicate this. Which version of Moodle are you using? I've a feeling it's either the version of Moodle you have installed or a charset issue (there's a stray ">" at the top of your login page). Can anyone shed any light on this?

That doesn't look like BETA0.5 either, looks like you've gotten hold of the unstable one before it.

I've checked again. Its definitely BETA 0.5.

I am using 1.94. I can't seem to find what the problem is and even more disturbingly, now I've changed back to my previous theme and my menu has gone out of line! Haven't got a clue how/why thats happened!

Hi Shaun,

Awesome theme as usual! I replicated Manpreet's issue, the problem for me was that I was missing a (/div) tag in the topmenu.php file after customising it for my own links. Before I corrected it I had blue borders around icons and each block said skip ....... above it also. Hope this shed some light on it.

Keep up the excellent work.

Cheers

Wheelie.

Hi Shaun
GREAT THEME!!!!
well i tested it in Moodle 2.0 works FINE!!! but there are two mini-problems:

  • all the php files are ANSI charset according with utf8 langs charset must be in UTF8.. or maybe UTF8 as ANSI. Try to test it with spanish words in topmenu.. ex: introducción.
  • Administration block folders appears always open.
cheers!

Hey Shaun,

Thanks much for this great theme!

One little bug / question... Word .docx files don't seem to pick up the icon. I'm not sure where to fix that mapping.

Thanks again,

I've been trying to solve the UTF8 problem but not had any joy. If anyone can help out there I would be very so grateful.

Hi I am trying to modify the footer. Anybody got any ideas on how to do it? Thanks

Manjinder-

Check the file footer.html - you'll be able to edit that file in a text editor to add your own links, logos, etc.

Hey Shaun,

One other fix I just made:

In aardvark_layout.css in the #content id, I removed overflow:auto. It was causing a scroll bar to appear in various places (wiki pages, browsing lists of users, some discussion forums)

Taking that out seems to have fixed it.

Thanks again for the great theme!

Thanks for your reply A.J but I have tried to edit the footer.html file in notepad but the changes did not transpire onto the site. The footer stayed the same. Any ideas? Thanks

by Shaun Daubney - Wednesday, August 26, 2009, 10:29 PM
 

overflow:auto was added on purpose to solve the gradebook issues. but it's personal preference I guess.

Hi Shaun:

I have played around with the theme and tried it in a couple of different guises (only logo and colours) and they work fine, but one seems to have the central tables too wide. If I switch off the width in layout.css from 960px, the central tables on courses work on a wide screen, if I switch them off the blocks disappear completely and the middle section scrolls but no side blocks. I can't see anywhere that it is different. Any suggestions as to what is controlling this? Debug does not show anything related. It could be a rogue block?

As all people here, great theme again.

by Paul Taylor - Tuesday, September 8, 2009, 09:46 PM
 

If I set the max-width in lauout.css to auto it seems to work with blocks on a wider screen, though goes a bit odd on re-size.

Yasir, it looks to me like you have some </div> tages missing or incomplete on your site. Check your topmenu.php file for any tags that are not complete.

Hello all! Great theme here. I am fairly new to Moodle and I am struggling to put a page on the front page that welcomes users to my site just like 'CATCH IT, BIN IT, KILL IT.'on the demo site for this template. How can I achieve this?

I am seeing the same problem as yasir. I only see it on my student machines which are running IE6. Not sure of a workaround though.

Hi Shaun, thank's for this theme, it's now (slightly modded) it's been live on http://moodle.hull-college.ac.uk for a couple of weeks now.

The only issues we have had (so far) is:

Adding a min-width to the top menu bar to stop it messing the items up when the screen size is smaller or the browser window is stretched smaller.

As somebody else pointed out the overflow: auto was causing scrollbars within scrollbars and effectively hiding some content.

IE6 does not display the top menu correctly, but this is not an issue as IT are supposed to upgrade all the student machines to IE8, but some have slipped through the net.

Hi Shaun, Thanks for the theme. I have a question. Is it possible to add multi-levels to the menu?

Hi Shaun,
great theme. All the students like it.
I've only got a little problem with the top menu.
If students sign-up en then use the topmenu to go to a course or category they are automatically logged-out.
Any idea how to fix this?

Awesome theme. Very easy to work with and modify the look. One issue I am having though is the ability to change the background. Seemed simple enough. I opened aardvark_color.css and changed the body background color from #eeeeee to #000000 and nothing. Not sure what I am doing wrong as I cannot find the background color for the main page anywhere else. Any idea on what I am missing?

CSS makes me feel so dumb sometimes.

Server issue. That is a relief because I was losing my mind. I will post a preview soon.

I assume this is related to Yasir's comments, as on IE6 the header is not visible at all, but on IE7 and 8 there is a gap in the table (between left and middle). It is fine on Firefox.

Any ideas?

Gap only visible in IE7/8

This is a brilliant theme and I'm hoping to mod it for our school Moodle.

There still seems to be a problem with the .docx and pptx which shows no icon.  Is this something I need to fix or is it something that comes with the theme?

Thank you!

Chris

Hi. Great theme!

Im new using moodle... I try to edit the menus but if a insert an item that is longer that those that came after this is what I get http://www.tecnicasestudio.com/img/Dibujo.jpg

Does anyone knows how to fix this?

Thanks

Excellent theme as usual Shaun smile

I've been tweaking it a bit to a grey/blue look and feel and managed to get some of the block heading menus to fit better, see what you think by clicking the following link:-

http://www.sohamvc.org (some areas do allow guest access)

If the main logo you use is too long, the main menu has too many links and you keep the date in the menu bar it messes up the popups for Glossaries and others, the only way I've found to make it look reasonable good is to remove the date script and keep the main menu options (length) to a minimum.

As mentioned elsewhere I've also noticed that Lightbox Galleries as well as the HTML Editor when in HTML editing mode show the main menu links (I'm using TinyMCE3) behind photos in Firefox as well as Internet Explorer. I've not checked it with Safari or Opera yet but saying that this is only a slight niggle and the Theme is far superior to the original Newbury ones with regard to the Style Sheets not displaying the Gradebook properly etc.

Regards

Chris

Andrew: I spotted a couple of errors in the code for the style sheets, namely the aardvark_color.css one where it has 'colour' in the code as opposed to color (no u) wink

Great theme! I do have one issue re: IE vs firefox on the Course Menu activity. The "Active Page" text/image is fine in firefox, but in IE it comes up with the X (like a missing picture) icon with a box around it. Anyone have any ideas on how to resolve this?

Beautiful theme. We are really going to enjoy using it. Thank you. Love the drop-down menus. 

Here comes the "but." I am having difficulties adding a wider logo graphic in the header background and editing the footer information. It is driving me crazy.

I have edited header.html to change the width:

<?php print_container_start(true, '', 'header'); ?>

<div class="headermain" id="header-home"><a href="<?php echo $CFG->wwwroot.'/' ?>" style="display: block; width: 365px; height: 96px;"><div id="logo"></div>

</a></div>

I have edited footer.html to add a logo bug and a copyright notice.

When I refresh my home page, none of edits appear.

I have read most of the threads and replies in the forums for the previous versions of this theme and see that this problem has surfaced, unfortunately none of the answers have helped me solve this issue.

I have looked at the default and layout css files and do not see how the logo background is in any way constrained to just 247 pixels. Also styles_layout.css in the Standard theme.

Would appreciate any pointers. Thanks

This is a great theme. I see the update has a range of new icons. There still seems to be a slight error with Microsoft Word 2007. It seems that the .docx works with an icon but that .pptx doesn't.

There also seems to be a word wrap problem with some heading text. e.g Recent Events scrolls over to another line and consequently ovelaps the top grey box.

Otherwise , thank you for your brilliant work Shaun!!

Shaun - excellent work.

Have been playing with both Chrome and FF - all seems to work well.

If anyone sorts out that Lightbox Gallery issue, please post the solution.

I have downloaded and using your theme. But I have encountered difficulities.

I am using Windows XP,chinese Chinese Editon. Your theme works fine under firefox 3.5.3 . But the drop down menu can not work under IE 6.0.  The interface is as described in "yasir Muhammad - 2009年09月4日 星期五 23:55".

Do I need to upgrade my IE to 7 or 8?

Brilliant theme - has revitalised our moodle !!!! Thanks

I am having a similar problem to Yasir, but only when I am looking at one of the settings in the Site Admin menu. I am using the Pro 1.0 version

All courses and the front page look brilliant - its just in admin mode and it happens on Safari (latest Version) I.E 7.0 and Firefox (latest Version)

Sorry meant to add this bit too...

It may be something to do with the "Turn Blocks Editing On" button as this is the only time the problem appears.
