Themes

I am using the latest updated 2.2.6 Moodle and the latest 2.3 Zebra (updated everything today).

When the browser window is narrowed, or when there are enough menu items to go to a second line, the menu items from custommenu are pushed to a second line. This leaves an entire line after the home icon blank and empty. And ugly!

Is there a way to remove this forced-return to a new line? Or a way to remove the home icon entirely?

Yes...if you go to Site Administration > Appearance > Themes > Zebra (hyperlink) this opens a Custom settings page. If you scroll down to the bottom of the page you should see a section marked Custom CSS. in this textarea copy the following CSS rule.

If you have access to the theme files, then all you need to do is add these highlighted changes to ../theme/zebra/settings.php

//Set gradient style for custommenu
$name = 'theme_zebra/menucolorscheme';
$title = get_string('menucolorscheme','theme_zebra');
$description = get_string('menucolorschemedesc', 'theme_zebra');
$default = 'none';
$choices = array(
    'none' => get_string('none', 'theme_zebra'),
    'dark' => get_string('dark', 'theme_zebra'),
    'light'=> get_string('light', 'theme_zebra')
    );
$setting = new admin_setting_configselect($name, $title, $description, $default, $choices);
$settings->add($setting);

Then you can add these extra $strings to ../theme/zebra/lang/en/theme_zebra.php

$string['none'] = 'None';
$string['dark'] = 'Dark';
$string['light'] = 'Light';

you can also add these to your lang file for translation purposes.

After you add these to Zebra, you will need to go to the Site Administration > Languages > Language packs and UPDATE the english pack, this then adds the new strings into the lang cache which is stored in your moodledata folder.

The same applies to whatever language you are translating.

I will convert those to strings and push a new version to the repo. tomorrow - AMOS should be updated automatically.

Glad to see it's getting some translation efforts!

I've updated github and the plugins repository, AMOS should be updated too.  Thanks for translating!

Hey there,

I've copied and pasted the code we used on the front page of FreeMoodle.org to make our Facebook Like and Tweet buttons into my wiki HERE, with further instructions for checking filters you may have enabled on your Moodle site that could be stripping code.

a solution is definitely possible, unfortunately our school doesn't use SCORM.  Is there a donor package anyone wants to give me to test with?

Hi Danny --

Love the theme! Thanks so much for your hard work.

I did notice an issue on Moodle 2.5+ (20130627). When I try to edit a section summary when using Zebra, the HTML editor doesn't show up.

It seems to be an issue with Zebra, as other editors show the TinyMCE editor fine.

Any guesses?

Thanks again,

Marty Gilbert

Hi, when you say the ZEBRA theme wont load or will not work, are you getting any ERROR messages?  No matter how trivial they may appear to you at least it would give us an indication as to what is happening on your Moodle site. So if you have any ERROR messages can you post them here?

Thanks

Mary

Hi Dominick,

Further to my last comment, I can see quite clearly that the 2.5/6/7 version of ZEBRA is broken in 2.9.

I'm just going to investigate it to see if I can find what's causing the problem, as it appears not to be NOT reading the style sheets.

I'll let you know as soon as I have something to report.

Cheers

Mary

Hi again,

Sorry to say but Zebra is totally broken in Moodle 2.9. It looks like it needs a lot of work doing to it to get it working.
