Hi Mary,
Did you end up getting the auto menu working for categories and courses?

Hi Mary
I set up a test site using the theme for topics-based course. However, the middle section topics extend a little into the right column. How is this fixed?
I'm hoping that the attachment that I'm adding (a screen shot of the issue) works!
Carol
p.s. pls let me know when they dynamic navigation is solved as I'd rather use it.
Hi Mary
Thanks for the quick reply. No I didn't change anything (too new to even know where to add the logo let alone change column widths!). I've tried in IE7 and IE8 and IE8 Compatability Mode on 2 different computers and get the same thing.
Carol
I like Firefox too but looking at the stats for our website we still have a huge majority of people using IE so I need to ensure it looks good there too.
Cheers
Carol
Thanks for following up Mary. I'm away until Sun pm visiting family and haven't tried. I was going to download the newest version first before giving it a shot anyway. Will let you know Mon/Tue of next week.
Cheers
Carol
Hey there Mary... Did you upload this version yet? I looked for it but didn't see it.
Carol
Wow... thanks very much Mary... I've done 2, 3 (only removing my "mug shot") and the label and 5. #6 wasn't free but what the heck! and #1, I don't know what I'm doing wrong but I don't see a download. I'll try on my other computer using Firefox, maybe that's the issue!
Cheers
Mary... I love your theme... so many of the other ones are so... well... boring and standard!... I plan on using this with an adult learning site in a niche industry, where we're used to seeing the "wow" factor!
I'm well versed in this industry but a complete newbie to Moodle, so we'll see how well I do!
Thank you very much for sharing and for your funky and innovative themes!
Carol

Hi Margaret,
Thanks for your compliments...so nice to find something works as it was intended.
Right...the background color for this escapes me but there is a forum discussion somewhere here abouts, started by Adma Lim
Which gives this code which you might like to add to the end of the isometric.css
.cal_popup_fg {
font-size:0.8em;
background-color:#FFFFFF; /*Change the content's background colour*/
}
Hopefully that should fix it. Adma came up with some code for other changes to the calendar you might find useful too.
Thank again
Mary
Hi Mary, honest...there is a log on button and I didn't do nuffin! And honest, at least on my pc, the log-in is in the main menu bar, to the right of the drop down...and I didn't do nuffin to that either!
However, you just made me doubt myself, so I checked (I'm at a school where they use IE6) and on their pc the log in is kinda in the header, albeit all over the place, and the main menu is about a quarter of the screen deep with each menu stacked on top of the other.. but in Firefox (latest) I see something totally different. I'll do a screen-shot when I get home.
The web address is still the same www.insegnanti-inglese.com/moodle
Hi Mary,
I tried to install your theme in my site but I had some problems.
I did the next steps:
1. Download and Unziped the theme.
2. Upload the directory to my site in the theme directory.
3. In the Theme selector, I choose the "Isometric" theme.
4. The browser displays only the links, but it doesn't displays the images, as if something was missed (sometime ago I had the same problem with other theme, but in that ocasion I missed a css file in the standard theme).
The same thing it's happen to me in other themes as "Aardvark 1.5 (Aquarium)" but I'm currently using a variation of "Aardvark Beta Auto Menus".
I'm currently using IE 8.
Do I have to install something prior the Isometric theme installation?
Thanks a lot for your attention and an apology for my poor English.
Martín Martínez.
Thanks a lot for your quick response, the theme is operating right now.
Best Regards.
Martin.
Hi,
Is The Moodle Bar Available In Isometric At The Moment?
Thanks
Liam
Mary,
Yes,Please Could I Have A Copy Of Isometric 2?
Does It Have Automatic Menus- If So Is Their A Way To Make It Manual?
Liam
Thank You Mary
That Helps A Big Deal I Really Like The Design Of The Theme And Good Work!
Liam
It Really Works Well On Our Website (See Below) Much Better Than Our Old Theme!
Once Again Thanks
Liam
Hi Mary,
First thanks a lot for this very elegant theme ! And sorry for my bad english, I'm french but I hope you will understand my question :
How can I do to display the Moddlebar on the site ONLY when users are logged in ? (I don't want that guests could see it on the front page or free access pages because it's an internal menu for me, just for users)
I suppose it needs a php line code but i don't know it well enough
Thanks fo your answer.
Hi Lisa,
I have just updated the Isometric theme and added the Moodlebar as you describe it, this is to say it only shows up in the footer after you are logged in.
You can download the new ZIP HERE - I hope it works OK?
If you have any problems let me know and I will help fix them.
Thanks
Mary
Thanks a lot Mary for your fast reponse.
It works perfectly, all is ok for me now.
I shall re-seek your help with pleasure if I have new requests or problems.
Mary I love this theme and we are just about to move our existing site to a new instal and would love to use your theme, however we are on 1.9.9 and I get this error message when installed which I've done as per your instructions
Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$parent in /u0/webroot/virtual/perins-moodle.dev.synergy-learning.com/lib/weblib.php on line 2558
OK I will contact our support company and ask them to install it using cPanel.
Many thanks for your time
Hi Mary
First of all congratulations on your isometric theme. I´ve choosen it to be this year´s theme in my secondary school.
I need to make some changes, hope you can help me.
Our web page is bordeaux (http://www.esdjccg.pt/sitio/) and i would like to make the moodle look more or less the same way.
Things i would like to do.
1. change the colors to bordeaux on the top and where is the menu. I´ve made a study to show you but i don´t know how to attach an image
2. Change the "isometric by..." to ESDJCCG
What about the menu. how can i make it work?
Thanks, thanks, thanks in advance.
Jorge Tavares
Hi Mary
You are amazing, you know that?
Your work was wonderfull. The point is that i´ve replaced the files with the one in the zip and the theme was all messed up. Don´t know what happened. Then i´ve asked a friend of mine that knows something about programing and he solved some of the issues.
Sorry for all the work.
You can see the result here.
We´ve removed the menu because it was not working.
It´s simple but i think that "simple is most times beautifull".
Thanks and keep up the good work.
Jorge
Hello Mary. It' s a very nice work. The problem I have is that I want to change the english words on menus with the greek ones. Can you help me with an advice for this? A don' t have tecnitian skills.
First you need to upload the Greek language pack (el) from the Site Administration menu > Language > Language Packs.
Then I am assuming that you will be able to type your menu items in Greek as you would normally write Greek characters.
To access the Menu you need to open isometric_menu.php and change the Menu Items to the ones you need.
I am not that familiar with languages and how to use them in Moodle. If you are still having problems, please ask in the Language Forum.
Mary
Hi Mary
I changed the menu items to another language
but the menu shits downs
I did nothing except changing menu items
help me plz
"...but the menu shits downs..." ???
Did you mean shuts down...?
If you are talking about the Ardvark Green theme then I can't help you as that theme is not being supported anymore.
If you are talkig about Isometric, then you better start to tell me what you have been doing to make the menu stop working!!!
Mary
Oh I am so sory
I want to say shifts not shits
I am so sory
mistyping
Its about the Green one
where do I get the isometric one?
thanks
Ok Mari
I moved to Isometric
uploaded it
used it
but if I change to a right to left language I get it misconfigured
as shown
what modification should I do?
It works OK on my site HERE
http://visible-expression.co.uk/moodle/index.php?lang=ar_utf8
Which browser are you using? Have you got Javascript enabled?
Have you made any changes to the menu?
Mary
Hello Mary,
I just discovered your theme and as I liked it very much I decided to use it for my production Moodle website. Thanks a lot for sharing.
As I'm very found of standards I made small changes so that it validate as XHTML strict 1.0 and figured that maye you would be interested.
in header.htm
changed :
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"<?php echo $direction ?>>
<html xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
to just :
<html <?php echo $direction ?>>
in isometric.css
changed (I just addded a ; after red) :
body#site-index .headingblock,
body#course-view .headingblock { border: 1px solid red
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
to :
body#site-index .headingblock,
body#course-view .headingblock { border: 1px solid red;
margin-bottom: 0px;
}
in profileblock.php
changed :
echo '<ul><form class="loginform" id="login" method="post" action="'.$wwwroot.'/login/index.php">';
echo '<li><label for="login_username">'.get_string('username').'</label>: <input class="loginform" type="text" name="username" id="login_username" value="" /></li>';
echo '<li><label for="login_password">'.get_string('password').'</label>: <input class="loginform" type="password" name="password" id="login_password" value="" /></li>';
echo '<li><input id="submit" type="submit" value="'.get_string('login').'" /></li>';
echo '</form></ul>';
to :
echo '<form class="loginform" id="login" method="post" action="'.$wwwroot.'/login/index.php"><ul>';
echo '<li><label for="login_username">'.get_string('username').'</label>: <input class="loginform" type="text" name="username" id="login_username" value="" /></li>';
echo '<li><label for="login_password">'.get_string('password').'</label>: <input class="loginform" type="password" name="password" id="login_password" value="" /></li>';
echo '<li><input id="submit" type="submit" value="'.get_string('login').'" /></li>';
echo '</ul></form>';
because you cant't have a form tag just after an ul tag
Again thanks a lot for this very nice theme. I hope my students willlike it.
Hi,
Thanks for this! I used to pride myself, when creating my own webpages, that I always validated them. But for some reason, probebly the fact I don't really know how to check php pages for validation, I got out of the habit, although I should have seen the form inside the ul tag in the profileblock.php, as you so rightly point out, is not allowed. The Profileblock I copied over from another theme, and to be truthful, is in need of a major overall.
But thank you very much for bringing all this to my attention. It will keep me busy while I'm on holiday! And there I was thinking I was going to have a quiet week! LOL
Glad you like the theme.
Kind regards, and thanks.
Mary
The easiest way to validate Moodle output (that is password protected) is the Firefox web-developer toolbar, and its Validate local HTML option in the tools menu. At least that is what I use.
Hi there Mary
First off let me say the theme is awesome. Looks very "out there" and I love it!
One issue I am experiencing though. I have two parallel moodle sites running, one "Live" site which is the one we use everyday, and also one "Development" site, used for testing new modules/plugins/themes. I followed the general instructions for uploading a new theme (I am fairly well versed in this as we currently run a custom theme). When I go to select the theme in the "Theme Selector" the text displays as red (see below):
I know normally they display in black (like metal, below) - does the red indicate some kind of error with the theme?
Further to this, on the development site, I click "Choose" and the following displays:
Again it seems like it detects the theme, however is having trouble loading the CSS etc....
Any ideas? I apologise if this has been answered elsewhere. Any help is greatly appreciated!
Andrew,
First question I would raise is how did you upload the theme? There appear to be a number of issues when uploading themes to sites where the webhost uses CPanel and the administrator uploads using ftp.
If you have CPanel on your webhost, upload the zip file and unpack using that rather than ftp as discussed previously on this thread.
Richard
You are an absolute legend. That worked perfectly!
Sorry to waste everyone's time, as Richard mentioned this issue has been previously discussed in the thread, however it's not really that easy to search!
Thanks again
Andrew
Hi Mary,
We have recently uploaded you theme to my schools moodle site and it looks awesome.
Just a quick question though;
When you first go to the page (before you even log in) there are two places that you can log in (the one that is just under the header, and the one that is in the body).
I am not sure if it is part of the theme, or something that admin needs to change but would you be able to tell me how to get rid of the second one ( the one in the box), our moodle site is; http://moodle.shgcham.school.nz/login/index.php
Also, the top login bit, the text is white, how would we change this to a colour that we can read?
Rebekka
Hi Rebekka,
Thanks for choosing the Isometric theme, it looks good in the colours you have for your site. The problem with the login, however, is caused by the length of your School's title, which is forcing the login boxes to appear below the header in the login page. The best thing for you to do would be to do away with the original login and make it so your users login by clicking on the green tab in the header.
I'll work on this for you and send you the reworked files if you could send me an email address in a private message.
The color for the login button is associated with the header text colour in the CSS, but with the changes will no longer be an issue.
Hope this helps?
Mary
Hi Mary,
Thanks for your help. I will try the new profile block file on Monday and let you know how it goes
Rebekka
I hope you got the 2nd profileblock.php as the 1st one I sent had some code missing! As I explained in my email I have kept the tabs to the minimum, but even so, if the tabs end up in the main body of the theme then the profileblock will need further tweaking.
Let's hope it works first time!
Cheers
Mary
Yup. I got the second profile block, and my schools admin uploaded it today and it works! Thanks (:
There is something else you could help with if you dont mind. When we log in and see our courses, the little menus at the side have bullet points. And at the moment they are orange squares with a grey outline, which I presume are the default ones, as these are what we had in our old theme. We would like to change these to something that matches our theme a bit better, but I am guessing you need to add in some code somewhere to do that. If you would be able to help us with this it would be awesome.
Thanks,
Rebekka
Hi Rebekka,
Is there any chance I could be given a login username and password so that I can see exactly where these links are so that I can work out what CSS customisation you need?
You can email me with Login details.
Thanks
Mary
Thanks for this Mary, it is a huge help, as neither me or our schools admin can code, or how to use moodle very well.
One thing though, with the bullet point you said to add the image to the pix folder, but as far as I'm aware, this theme doesnt have a pix folder. We also tried creating a pix folder, but that didnt work either. So would you please be able to help us with what to do here?
Thanks,
Rebekka
