Hi!
I am new to Moodle and have very limited css abilities. I am looking to add the language toggle feature to a theme that I am hoping to use. The theme is RL Master (Remote Learner theme).
Can you please help me out? Also is the coding specific to each theme or is there a generic code used?
Also, any help in telling me where to add the code would be greatly appreciated! My hand needs to be held on this one!
We are currently upgrading to 2.3 from 2.1.4.
Thanks,
Stephanie
Thanks Amy,
We currently have the following three language packs installed:
English (en); Francais-Canada (fr_can); and Francais (fr)
If we change the theme to one with a pre-established toggle it works great! From what I have read, the toggle is imbeded in the code of the theme.
We do have support through Remote-Learner, so I have logged a ticket for this issue.
I am still curious to see if there is specific code, as we may end up modifying a different theme at a later date.
Thanks!
Stephanie,
Depending on the theme, most Moodle CORE themes have the Language menu on all course pages and also the Login page and once logged in in the User profile page so that is is always accessible.
If you want it to appear on ALL pages you need to change the theme's config.php under $THEME->layouts...
Here is a complete list which is currenlty in Base theme in Moodle 2.3.3
$THEME->layouts = array(
// Most backwards compatible layout without the blocks - this is the layout used by default
'base' => array(
'file' => 'general.php',
'regions' => array(),
),
// Standard layout with blocks, this is recommended for most pages with general information
'standard' => array(
'file' => 'general.php',
'regions' => array('side-pre', 'side-post'),
'defaultregion' => 'side-pre',
),
// Main course page
'course' => array(
'file' => 'general.php',
'regions' => array('side-pre', 'side-post'),
'defaultregion' => 'side-pre',
'options' => array('langmenu'=>true),
),
'coursecategory' => array(
'file' => 'general.php',
'regions' => array('side-pre', 'side-post'),
'defaultregion' => 'side-pre',
),
// part of course, typical for modules - default page layout if $cm specified in require_login()
'incourse' => array(
'file' => 'general.php',
'regions' => array('side-pre', 'side-post'),
'defaultregion' => 'side-pre',
),
// The site home page.
'frontpage' => array(
'file' => 'frontpage.php',
'regions' => array('side-pre', 'side-post'),
'defaultregion' => 'side-pre',
),
// Server administration scripts.
'admin' => array(
'file' => 'general.php',
'regions' => array('side-pre'),
'defaultregion' => 'side-pre',
),
// My dashboard page
'mydashboard' => array(
'file' => 'general.php',
'regions' => array('side-pre', 'side-post'),
'defaultregion' => 'side-pre',
'options' => array('langmenu'=>true),
),
// My public page
'mypublic' => array(
'file' => 'general.php',
'regions' => array('side-pre', 'side-post'),
'defaultregion' => 'side-pre',
),
'login' => array(
'file' => 'general.php',
'regions' => array(),
'options' => array('langmenu'=>true),
),
// Pages that appear in pop-up windows - no navigation, no blocks, no header.
'popup' => array(
'file' => 'general.php',
'regions' => array(),
'options' => array('nofooter'=>true, 'nonavbar'=>true, 'nocustommenu'=>true, 'nologininfo'=>true, 'nocourseheaderfooter'=>true),
),
// No blocks and minimal footer - used for legacy frame layouts only!
'frametop' => array(
'file' => 'general.php',
'regions' => array(),
'options' => array('nofooter'=>true, 'nocoursefooter'=>true),
),
// Embeded pages, like iframe/object embeded in moodleform - it needs as much space as possible
'embedded' => array(
'file' => 'embedded.php',
'regions' => array(),
'options' => array('nofooter'=>true, 'nonavbar'=>true, 'nocustommenu'=>true, 'nocourseheaderfooter'=>true),
),
// Used during upgrade and install, and for the 'This site is undergoing maintenance' message.
// This must not have any blocks, and it is good idea if it does not have links to
// other places - for example there should not be a home link in the footer...
'maintenance' => array(
'file' => 'general.php',
'regions' => array(),
'options' => array('noblocks'=>true, 'nofooter'=>true, 'nonavbar'=>true, 'nocustommenu'=>true, 'nocourseheaderfooter'=>true),
),
// Should display the content and basic headers only.
'print' => array(
'file' => 'general.php',
'regions' => array(),
'options' => array('noblocks'=>true, 'nofooter'=>true, 'nonavbar'=>false, 'nocustommenu'=>true, 'nocourseheaderfooter'=>true),
),
// The pagelayout used when a redirection is occuring.
'redirect' => array(
'file' => 'embedded.php',
'regions' => array(),
'options' => array('nofooter'=>true, 'nonavbar'=>true, 'nocustommenu'=>true, 'nocourseheaderfooter'=>true),
),
// The pagelayout used for reports.
'report' => array(
'file' => 'report.php',
'regions' => array('side-pre'),
'defaultregion' => 'side-pre',
),
// The pagelayout used for safebrowser and securewindow.
'secure' => array(
'file' => 'general.php',
'regions' => array('side-pre', 'side-post'),
'defaultregion' => 'side-pre',
'options' => array('nofooter'=>true, 'nonavbar'=>true, 'nocustommenu'=>true, 'nologinlinks'=>true, 'nocourseheaderfooter'=>true),
),
);
I hope this helps?
