Hi
I am using Moodle 2.4.3 and experiencing an inability to configure the dashboard icons. Each time I click on the appropriate area (a circular icon at the bottom of each rectangular block) the following message is visible.
The structure of the context table in control panel...phpadmin is as follows:
Any help would be much appreciated.
NB: I have successfully installed this theme on another site with moodle 2.4 installed.
Hi Paul,
This theme seems to be flawed, although the DB tables have been added there appears to be no real way of populating that table.
The form is not working because the theme author is ussing code which he admits he does not understand.
Also the reason you get the error is that the theme is looking for an image in the DB. There appears to be a stage missing that inserts data into the datatable.
We need help with this from someone like Gareth who knows about these things!
Cheers
Mary
Dear Flinton,
When you click on 'More information about this error' what does it say?
Have you contacted the author about it? -> https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=theme_aadar
Can you turn on developer level debugging with 'display debug messages' and post what it says please -> http://docs.moodle.org/24/en/Debugging
Cheers,
Gareth
Dear Gareth,
The link to the Moodle Doc is empty.
Here's the Stack Trace ...
Debug info: SELECT * FROM {context} WHERE id = ?

Dear Gareth,
This theme appears to work perfectly in Moodle 2.4.3 but not in Moodle 2.3.6 which is what I tried it on first! Hence the error - Silly me!

Dear Mary,
I've just downloaded a copy and was about to try it out on the latest 2.4.x. So, is the problem sorted or do I need to look?
Cheers,

Ok,
I think I know what is going on. Right, the issue is that the 'context id' has been hard coded in frontpage.php:
/theme/aadar/addimage.php?contextid=6§ionid=1&userid
This is 'bad' and will cause an issue in some Moodle installations.
The addimage.php and addimage_form.php are actaully adaptations of the Grid format editimage.php and editimage_form.php as I found the same unaltered comment:
/* No idea, copied this from an example. Sets form data options but I don't know what they all do exactly */
But, the Grid format works out the context id from the course id. And the front page is a course with $COURSE being a global it should be possible to use:
global $COURSE;
$context = context_course::instance($COURSE->id);
$contextid = $context->id;
in the frontpage.php file.
This needs to be tested.
Cheers,
Gareth
P.S. Theme code despirately needs 'code checking'.
Ok, this is a replacement 'frontpage.php' to test. I understand the principle of context in Moodle but not quite sure on exact implementation at a given level. So have changed to a course context rather than system context. However, they both work if you extract the id from the $context variable.
Cheers,
Gareth
Hi Gareth
The debugging info is as follows:
Dear Finton,
Thanks - please use the replacement frontpage.php attached above as there is no context id '6' in your database and the author has mistakingly hard coded this.
Cheers,
Gareth
Thanks you for suggestions.Sorry for the inconvenience, I forgot to change it before uploading. Please download the new code from the git https://github.com/cvnniranjanreddy/moodle-theme_aadar.git. I will update the main plugin also.
Thanks for the update!
Cheers
Mary
