RESOLVED|Archaius Theme: Remove Moodle logo from footer

Hello, I have looked and search and think I've tried everything.

I want to remove the moodle logo from all my pages. I've tried to change the CSS in the theme. I am using the theme Archaius and I have Moodle version 2.7

If you have access to the theme files look in the layout directory and look for one called general.php or default.php or any that start with columns.

If you can tel me what you find I ca give you instructions on how to remove the code that generates the logo in that theme. 

Cheers

This is what I use in CSS - different theme but I think it should still be the same.

.homelink {

display:none

}

.sitelink {

display:none

}

I wish it was the same.. but I already used the codes and even tried visibility instead of display. But both ways do not work for my theme. And it's annoying me. I want it removed...

Hi Valerie,

If using 'Filezilla' in your Moodle root directory go to /theme/archaius/layout/partials/footer.php and delete the following lines...

<p>
<a href="http://moodle.org" title="Moodle">
<img src="<?php echo $OUTPUT->pix_url('moodle-logo','theme')?>" alt="Moodle logo" />
</a>
</p>

Save the file back too your server and refresh screen with Ctrl + F5

Hope that helps?

Mary

I have just updated this fix as the original information was changed in the theme.

In 2.7 (more), I found the following CSS seems to work.  I am not sure if this would work in other themes.

img {

    display: none;

}

Except that will hide every image, wont it Rick?

Oh my, you are right!  Well, it is always interesting to see what damage a little CSS code can do.

Thanks for pointing this out.

Hi Mary,

Do you know if this solution should work in Moodle 2.7.  In my theme/mytheme/layout directory I do not have a partials folder, just a frontpage.php.

Hope you can help.

Thanks,

Bernard

Hi Bernard,

How you remove the home link from your theme depends largely on which theme you are using. In a standard Moodle theme something like this CSS should work ...

#page-footer .homelink { display: none; }

If you are using Clean theme,  you can add this CSS to the Custom CSS box found in Clean theme's custom setting page here...

Site Administration > Appearance > Themes > Clean (this is a link to the Clean settings page listed at this point, along with other themes that have settings pages).

Also you will need to enable Theme Designer Mode before you see the changes to your theme.

However, if your theme is not a normal Moodle theme, then it all depends on how the link was added to the page in the first place. To know this you would need to look at the footer in the layout for the page like the frontpage.php or general.php or default.php depending again on the theme.

Hope this helps?

Hi Mary,

Thanks very much for your help. It finally worked by putting the CSS into the Custom CSS Box, which I was sure I'd tried before but must have not refreshed properly. Certainly, the Theme Designer Mode was very helpful for ensuring any changes were immediately apparent.

Cheers,

Bernard

Hi Emma,

Where exactly did you put that CSS. I have tried it in theme/mytheme/style/custom.css but to no avail.

Thanks,

Bernard

I am using Elegance and was able to place it in the General Settings/Custom CSS area.  Try using the developer mode in Chrome to pinpoint the exact class.  It might be labelled slightly differently in your theme.

I am using (experimenting) More.  Here's a picture showing you how I have added this to the Custom CSS textbook in the More theme (found in Site Admin | Appearance | Themes | More ).

(Thanks Emma and Mary.)

Hi Emma,

Thanks very much for your help. That worked putting the CSS into the Custom CSS Box.

Unfortunately this does not work in the Archaius theme. However the original question has been resolved.

Thanks
