Moodle in English

I think this problem is caused by the fact I didn't create a report.php but linked the report to base theme. But looking as the layout of that page is so different to my pagelayout that it looks better without the report layout. So here's what you must do to get this part back on track...

in the Arctic folder open config.php and change this section as indicated...

// The pagelayout used for reports
'report' => array(
'theme' => 'base', < delete this line
'file' => 'report.php', < delete this line
'file' => 'default.php', < add this line
'regions' => array('side-pre'),
'defaultregion' => 'side-pre',

Thanks

Hi Joseph,

Final fix...tabs!

The Tab folder is missing from the theme!!! Here's what you need to do.

Locate and make a copy of Tab folder from Standard theme and paste it in Arctic's Pix folder.

Then copy Tab CSS from Standard theme's core.css file and Paste it into arctic_styles.css file.

You should then find that the tabs work OK.

Thanks

Mary

We've had this conversation before Joseph, I think it was about the calendar in Cafelite which had the same problem. I don't know what you do to my themes' calendar but they all end up looking completely different than how they look on my computer! Perhaps it's the Operating System which is the problem? Perhaps your computer renders pages differently. What font setting do you use? I have mine set to View>Zoom>RESET ( Ctrl+0 )

You could always try changing the font-size for the mini-calendar in calendar.css

.block .minicalendar td {padding:2px; font-size:0.8em;}

Thanks

Mary

Looks like the theme you were using previously is not displaying the full page layout. Using FireFox try zooming out using keyboard keys Crtl+- (Ctrl and Minus key together) If you click them a few times you should see the button, to select the theme, come in to view.

Hi Sam,

I had a similar problem when I installed the decaf theme that I was 'playing with' onto my local server, but it only happened when I had both aardvark and decaf themes in the folder - although have not come across it with Arctic. In my case I think the issue had been that I had a typing error in one of my edits to the config file - can't recall where now as it was a few weeks ago

While it doesn't solve the problem of why it's done this, to get back to a working theme selector, delete the problem theme from the themes folder (ie the one currently in use, so in your case Arctic) and your moodle installation will revert back to a standard theme, allowing you to choose the theme you want to use/test next.

Hi Arctic;

how to chnage arctic logo to my logo

thank you

Hi Paul,

Sorry for the delay I forgot upload the zip file to the server!

You can now down-load the file HERE

Awadhesh,

Because Moodle gets its styles from a number of different places - the theme itself, any parent theme, any styling within Moodle (e.g. the yui folders, etc.) it can be difficult to trace where the style is defined originally - and if it's not in your theme anyway, it is not a good idea to edit it in any other location. However, if it is not defined in the theme itself, it is perfectly safe to add that class (the classes/ids you have identified using firebug) to your css file with the rules you need and that should be applied before Moodle goes looking for any other default settings.

Hope that helps

Richard

Sure!

here it is.

Thanks a lot!

Mónica.

oops! I just realized I sent the no-edited screenshot.
Sorry, here's the ritght one.

I forgot to tell you that I comment the line of "options" too, 'cause I need the navbar in the embedded pages; so, the code had set to:

// Embeded pages, like iframe/object embeded in moodleform - it needs as much space as possible
'embedded' => array(
//'file' => 'embedded.php',
'file' => 'default.php',
'regions' => array(),
//'options' => array('nofooter'=>true, 'nonavbar'=>true, 'nocustommenu’=>true),

I think the problem has to do with the styles of the body id's or something like that; I agree the embedded pages has no blocks, but I need the right style.
As I tell you in the image, when I change the div id for "page-wrapper", the margins appear, but the rest mantains the same.

Thanks a lot for your time,

Mónica.

Good morning,

I wonder if there is any way to change the language referring to the location indicated in the attached image.

Is there a file in php to make this change?

Thank you,

Meira Regiane

Using a tool such as firebug or the Chrome developer tools helps with queries like this, Meira

using firebug on your website link you provided shows that

html {

    background: url("/yoursitelinkremovedhere/core/overlay") repeat-x fixed 50% 10% #E0F2F1;

}

 

I think the overlay image used here is also used as the background for the header so I would suggest creating the backdrop 'watermark' you want as a new image and then saving it into the same folder as overlay, then edit the line above in the css files to give the filename of the image you saved and adjust the other options as needed. If you turn Theme designer on for your site, then firebug will be able to tell you where that line is in the files as well - there is a video linked in the heading of the forum for using firebug if you are not familiar with it

Olá Regiane,
first of all, I suggest you to upgrade to M2.4.3+ as soon as possible (This https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=224624 is why).

Now, about the background, (and assuming is 'you' who wants the new style: "I'll show you how you would like to stay my website" ), I'm not sure what is your doubt of my earlier post or of what Richard said too.

Trying to be clearier, Richard is right: the overlay image is used for the header and for the background as well (with a #E0F2F1 color too)). So, if you named your logo-watermark as 'watermark.png' you have to upload that file to /your_moodle_path/theme/arctic/pix/core/ and then edit the line 2 of /your_moodle_path/theme/arctic/style/arctic_style.css file as:

background: #E0F2F1 url([[pix:theme|core/watermark]]) 50% 10% repeat-x fixed;

and change the bg color (#E0F2F1) or the rest of the options as you need (you can use firebug to test that changes before to make them on your server).

Bonne chance!
Mónica.

Hi Jason,
I think it could be because you upgrated your moodle from 2.2 to 2.5 directly. It was that way?

I'm also using Arctic theme since Mary released it , but there are many changes I had to do pariculary on M2.3 (or so...) and go on (here some of the results: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=207943#p949231) so, maybe I could help.

Or maybe you could persuade Mary to do a nice M2.5 (M2.6) version 

Ciao, Mónica.

Hi Mónica,

You are correct, I went directly from 2.2 to 2.5. The other problem I am faced with is the in the editor. I seem to be completely missing the insert media button.

 I'm totally at a loss on both issues so, any help would be greatly appreciated. 

Regards, Jason

Hi Monica,

Changes in Moodle 2.5 layout/general.php adds new code for course header/footer here are those changes...

<!-- INSIDE TOP OF PAGE -->

$courseheader = $coursecontentheader = $coursecontentfooter = $coursefooter = '';
if (empty($PAGE->layout_options['nocourseheaderfooter'])) {
    $courseheader = $OUTPUT->course_header();
    $coursecontentheader = $OUTPUT->course_content_header();
    if (empty($PAGE->layout_options['nocoursefooter'])) {
        $coursecontentfooter = $OUTPUT->course_content_footer();
        $coursefooter = $OUTPUT->course_footer();
    }
}

<!-- INSIDE HEADER -->

        <?php if (!empty($courseheader)) { ?>
            <div id="course-header"><?php echo $courseheader; ?></div>
        <?php } ?>

<!-- INSIDE REGION MAIN -->
                <div id="region-main-wrap">
                    <div id="region-main">
                        <div class="region-content">
                            <?php echo $coursecontentheader; ?>
                            <?php echo $OUTPUT->main_content() ?>
                            <?php echo $coursecontentfooter; ?>
                        </div>
                    </div>
                </div>

<!-- INSIDE FOOTER -->
    <?php if (!empty($coursefooter)) { ?>
        <div id="course-footer"><?php echo $coursefooter; ?></div>
    <?php } ?>

Like I said, I am not sure what this is for and how it works inside a course page, as this is what its real function is.  I have not studied it and so am still in the dark about it so to speak, but it needs adding to Arctic just in case someone needs/wants to use this new course format functionality.

Perhaps some reader may tell us what it actually does!

Cheers

Mary
