Very, very nice theme Dan!!!

Jeff

Great stuff. Love the reflection in the footer.

Your theme is now available inside the Themes Database as well.

Hope you keep producing more to share when you have the time.

where? it's like to cann't be downloaded!

I forgot that the forum was the correct place to discuss stuff regarding the theme... apologies for cluttering the theme-page...

Below a reprint of the issues I'm currently facing with this fantastic theme:

Question 1:

Now I'm really liking that menubar.php. I've tried to modify header.html and removed the:

<div class="menubar">
<?php
{
include('menubar.php');
}
?>
</div>

code from the "mainpage only" area. I've put it in the "<?php } else if ($heading) {" area.

This works beautifully, the menubar gets printed on every page. However, it also gets printed on (here we go again) the messages-window etc. Is there an easy way to exclude those pages from getting this menubar?

Question 2:

Unfortunately, I've stumbled across another fixed-width issue... when trying to view a glossary-item, the window isn't resized properly as well. I've tried adding the following to styles-layout.php, but no success:

#mod-resource-view #page {
width: 980px;
margin: 0;
}
#mod-glossary-showentry #page {
width: 980px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#mod-glossary-index #page {
width: 980px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body#mod-resource-view {
width: 980px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
body#mod-glossary-showentry {
width: 980px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}

It is the mod/glossary/showentry.php file that is called, so I'm somewhat baffled how to fix this... am I using the wrong syntaxis?

Dan,

LOVE your theme. When I saw it, I knew I had to adopt it to one of my moodle sites.

A couple of minor details..

1 - When a resource or activity is hidden from student view, moodle themes usually dim the link so that the instructor can see that it is hidden. This is left out of your theme...

Change line 37 of styles_color.css to the following and it works as expected.
a.dimmed:link,
a.dimmed:visited {
color:#AAAAAA;
}

2 - When highlighting a topic as a current topic your css uses the same cell background as a topic that is hidden from student view. When viewing a course with hidden topics and a current topic, this gets to be a little confusing.

I elected to use a light goldenrod to highlight the current topic. It worked well with my color scheme, but, your mileage may vary. I also elected to show the highlight color on both sides as opposed to just the left side to be more consistent with hidden topics. I made the following changes to lines 595 - 600 of styles_color.css:
* Changed .left to .side to enable color on both sides - line 597
* Changed background color to light goldenrod (#FAF8CC) - line 598
* Changed text color back to black to work better with goldenrod - 599

/*Change .left to .side for both sides*/
#course-view .weekscss .current,
#course-view .current td.side{
background: #FAF8CC;
color: #000;
}

Just my own additions, the second change was purely cosmetic, but, I really did miss the dimmed links as an instructor. Great theme, love using it!!!

A great theme Dan!

I have used on my site and it looks good, though my site is still in development.

Further I tried making some minor changes to the theme, however in vain. Hope you can help with this.

I will like to have the slideshow only for the home page and have a very different header image (instead of slide show) on the Home Page of a logged in user.

Currently the code written in the header.html as follows:

if ($home)
Show slideshow
<?php }
else if ($heading) ?>
Show image 1
<?php } ?>

This code shows the slideshow on Home page (irrespective whether the user is logged in or not) and for any page with a heading like 'Categories' the image 1 is shown. However I want the logged in user (user landing on main page of website after login) to see image 1 as well. How can I achieve this?

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Hey Dan,

I was working today in my Moodle site and noticed that the icon for "Exercise" was missing in my Administration: Modules: Activities page... (see http://yourmoodlesite.com/moodle/admin/modules.com). Well, this led me to want to change a few of the other icons on this page to match the famfamfam.com icon set. So, I made the following changes and have attached them to this post in a zip archive for ease of use.

Simply unzip the attached file to your 'pix' folder inside of the EduMoodle theme folder and everything should be put in the correct place.

I've modified/added six icons from the famfamfam.com Silk icon set:

• Database ()
  
• Exercise ()
• Game ()
  • The Game Activity is an excellent add on available from the Moodle Database - Activity Module: Game
• Journal ()
• Label ()
• Workshop ()

Enjoy!

Hi Dan,

 

I hope you can help me with a little theme problem in IE! In Firefox is ok.

 

When I switch between edition button off to edition editing on, the page grows to the right.

 

After some tinkering, I've come up with a way to render the menubar on the front page, course category page and all the course pages.

It's a very simply (not really elegant, but hey, it works!) modification of header.html. Search for the area where it calls for "div1.php" and "div2.php" and all will be revealed.

I'm sure there's a clean way to add HTML code inside the PHP code, but I couldn't really understand that part.

This way, overhead on my server is lowered slightly because the main page is rather graphic-intensive. I've built a rather complete menubar (kinda like Newbury College) so it was a hassle to constantly surf back to the main page to navigate.

I hope others enjoy this just as much as I do!

Hi Dan, first of all...congratulations for your theme...it´s great!

I´m using it in my website and I´ve made some changes in it´s layout. Now, could you help me making the slideshow bar smaller (it´s height)?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello,
I hope all is well.

May I ask for your assistance please?

Regarding the EduMoodle theme and having the menu bar and slide show appear on all pages, is not currently working - only appears on home page. Can you inform me of code that needs to change in the header.html or menu.php file so that the menu navigation bar and slide show is visible on all moodle pages?

Current code in header.html:

<div class="menubar">
<?php
{
include('menubar.php');
}
?>
</div>
</div>

<?php } else if ($heading) { // This is what gets printed on any other page with a heading
?>
<div id="header-home" class="clearfix">
<h1 class="headermain">&nbsp;</h1>
<div class="headermenu"><?php echo $menu ?></div>
</div>
<?php } ?>

This would be a huge help and I appreciate your time.

Thank you so much.

Hello everybody!

Very nice theme!

I have a simple question: I would like to have logo.png (see atached image) converted into a link or insert a link somewhere inside class="headermain".
How do I proceede?

thanks in advance!

Love the theme, but the message window is a mess. Anyone else finding this?

First of all thanks to all of you that are helping the newbies getting along with this awsome product. Right now we have a challenge for the pros. We want to move the slideshow to the main content area if it can be done. I'm posting a picture for reference and thanks in advance....
