uploaded theme not showing in theme selector

Hi,

I recently installed Moodle 2.2.  I have uploaded the theme bright_drop which I found on the Moodle site to my server and am pretty sure that I did it correctly, however it does not show in theme selector. I have combed through the theme info on Moodle.org and tried some things but still can't get it to work.  What next?  Bright_drop is for 2.0 so I figured it should work.  I previously had Moodle 1.9 and had a theme I liked called ability to learn from Themza but that will no longer work in 2.2 according to the info here. Too bad.

Unfortunately Themza themes contain hidden code which, fortunately, Moodle 2.2 rejects.  I'm trying to get those themes deleted from in the themes database as they are proving a problem.

Thanks for letting me know about this theme.

Cheers

Mary

Did you get your theme to show up in the theme selector?  I am having this issue with a cloned theme.  It installed okay but isn't showing up as a choice for me in the list of themes.

 

Thanks,

Kristen

Kristan,

Check to see if your have this code in your config.php


$THEME->hidefromselector = true;

Thanks so much, Mary!  I found this setting in the config files for the two parent themes for this theme, Base and Canvas.  So, I got excited thinking that since those two themes are the parent theme for the SBCEO theme,  I just need to add

$THEME->hidefromselector = false;

to the config.php file for sbceo_theme.  I did this, but unfortunately it is still not showing up.  I cleared the theme cache just to see if that helped, but I still don't see it.

I am basing this theme on Boxxie, which does show up in the theme selector, so I am a little confused about why Boxxie shows up but the new theme doesn't.

Anything else I can check?

 

Thanks so much for all of your help, it's much appreciated!

PS

Sorry it took a while to respond, I was out for a little vacation.

If you have used capital letters for the theme name and used caps throughout this theme then that is the reason it's not being recognised by Moodle. All themename/filename/directory names have to be in lowercase letter.

You could try enabling debugging in Site Administration > Development > Debugging  this will produce Errors and Warnings telling you where you have gone wrong or which files to fix.
