Hi all,
Just to let you know that I've started work on updating the Aardvark theme for Moodle 2.0
It's a steep learning curve but fingers crossed I'll get there soon. I've included an early prototype for Aardvark for Moodle 2.0 - Codename: Blackbird, it will probibly look nothing like that when it's finished, I'm hoping to have a really clean polished new look, if anyone has any coding/css/Moodle2.0 expirence and wants to lend a hand, let me know.
Hi Shaun,
So pleased you are working on the Aardvark theme for Moodle 2.0. I'd be quite happy to lend a hand if you get into problems with the CSS. There are some new tricks with menus in Decaf theme you might want to take a look at, which I am sure you will want to incorporate into your new Aardvark theme.

Thanks. I'm slowly thundering through it, but then noticed I had done something to make the Settings block vanish. Which isn't a good thing. So it's back to square one.
Have you got debugging on? It's the best way to see where you are going wrong.
Any chance I could have a copy of the theme where you are up to with it. It might be something simple that you've done to lose the settings block. Check the config.php where you declare, in an array, which side block regions you are using for the admin page. It might look something like this...
// Server administration scripts.
'admin' => array(
'file' => 'default.php',
'regions' => array('side-pre'),
'defaultregion' => 'side-pre',
),
I've only one php layout page which I have called default.php. It started off it's life as general.php which I copied over from Base theme. I tend to use base theme as a parent theme, but exclude the styles I am using, which tend to be blocks.css, calendar.css, and pagelayout.css.
Hope this helps?
Cheers
Mary
Great stuff! Screenshot is looking great. Let me know if I can help. Although you already have Mary on board and her themes are awesome. Like Mary I have also built a couple of Moodle 2 themes now and am ready to assist. If you can send me the Blackbird I am happy to tinker and get back to you.
