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.

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

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

great theme...

1 question,how can i choose language at front site?

theme is very nice specially pic on top but i'm getting one problem with menu it not appear properly when i try to access from other computers but i access server it's ok i'm using iis can any body figure out how fix this

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.

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?

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

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)

Actually saying that, the 'colour' errors may have been mine :S

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:

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.

Cheers

Great Theme!

• Works just fine with 1.9.5
• Added image docx.gif and pptx.gif for 2007 MS word icons
• Tested: FF, IE 7+, Chrome no issues to report

Thanks. I've just added the new Office "X" file types and will include them in 1.1

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)

see screen shot

Me too. Had this problem since my first theme, sorry don't know how to fix it. If anyone does PLEASE TELL ME!

thanks

*** Edit to my post above ***
after further research it only happens in IE7.0 when in Admin mode. Searched everywhere through the code but to no avail !

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.

Hello,

I had the same problem that yasir Muhammad and Richard Ackland (on IE 6.0)

The problem is that it is not defined the width property to <li> tags in topmenu.
I fixed it creating a specific css rule for IE:

File aardvark_topmenu_ie.css with this rule:
#top_menu ul li {
width: 50px !important;
}

And I edited the file header.html nearly line 10 to load this css when browser is IE 7.0 or previous:

<!--[if lt IE 7]>
<script type="text/javascript" src="<?php echo $CFG->httpsthemewww .'/'. current_theme() ?>/js/ie6png.js"></script>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php echo $CFG->httpsthemewww .'/'. current_theme() ?>/aardvark_topmenu_ie.css" type="text/css" media="screen" />

(What I added is the green line).


I used the same method to fix the wrapper width:

New file aardvark_layout_ie.css
Rule:
#surround {
margin-left: auto;
margin-right: auto;
width: expression(document.body.clientWidth > 961? "960px": "auto");
}

And you have to edit header.html for this file to be loaded when browser is IE.

You can create only a file, ie_fixes.css for example, and unificate all fixes in it.

I hope it will be useful.

I forgot to thank the theme creator for the wonderful work he share with us.
Thanks Shaun!

Good work Fran, I went at the problem from a different angle and put a new (IE6 compatible) menu in the theme instead
