Themes

the "My Courses" tiles have been removed from this release as they were not mobile compatible- but they might be reintroduced in a future release

RE: the "tiled resources" setting has been removed from the theme because (IMO) it belongs more in a course format than in a theme.  Perhaps this would be a good feature request for the grid format.

Please don't pass the buck to me Danny!

I anybody wished to port the code to the Grid format as an optional setting (on the MOODLE_27 branch ATM, being where new functionality is added), then I would be willing to consider such a pull request on the proviso that it passed though code checker without issues and proven to work.

Hi Mary,

I just replaced it with a repeating one-pixel strip, so that was a simple workaround.

It's odd, however, that even though the default for the bgd image box was "empty", and the box was empty as far as I could tell, the city smog image still displayed.

Having a background image really slams scrolling performance on my quad core machine in firefox.

If I remove it, it's silky smooth scrolling.  Anyone else see this?

I'm wondering if this has to do with language?  If you change to "English" does it still happen?

what's your browser?

Isn't that a Block area? The place where you can drag/drop a block to?

Thanks Danny, happy to help.  

I have started going through Julian's CSS style sheet and am trying to clean it up.  I have also made a bunch of tweaks since posting the css that realigns the edit icons correctly. I will post that version tomorrow.  I like the tiles slightly smaller than Julian's and most of my clients do too so I have been resizing them but not without consequences!

Drag-and-drop reordering works by the way.  Love the idea of a true BS3 grid - have no idea how to implement that but it makes sense though it is working responsively very well on my dev site.  Description on course page is an interesting problem and labels always have to be addressed separately.

I think you would remove the indent icon because it doesn't make much sense. If you could somehow make a grid and be able to drag a tile to any cell in the grid that would be really cool.

Just was at Julian's last moot and very inspired right now to get this working perfectly!  

Love this theme.

I have Moodle2.7+ (Build: 20140605) and the latest Elegance release. Everything is fine except my custom menu text which is very dark and virtually disappears when hovered over. Is there anything I can do?

I was thinking about course formats - definitely want the option available with multiple course formats but it would actually be amazing if you could set it at the course level instead of the site level but I am thinking that would take the addition of a whole new kind of plugin.

Here we go. See attachment.

Quizzes and other activities are fine, its just the labels that really push out the gap.

Thanks.

Yes, I wrote:
$plugin->dependencies = array(
'theme_elegance' => 2014070401);
where the number is the version of elegance theme.

In the child theme, I haven't put dependencies from theme_bootstrap. Must I write it?

Deleting the line
$THEME->rendererfactory = 'theme_overridden_renderer_factory';
gives no result. Always the same error.

Touch renderers.php: what do you mean?

In /elegance/renderers/course_renderer.php line 27 (the content is totally different from previosus version of elegance and too complex for me to understand) says:

class theme_elegance_core_course_renderer extends core_course_renderer {

/**
* Returns HTML to display a course category as a part of a tree
*
* This is an internal function, to display a particular category and all its contents
* use {@link core_course_renderer::course_category()}
*
* @param coursecat_helper $chelper various display options
* @param coursecat $coursecat
* @param int $depth depth of this category in the current tree
* @return string
*/
protected function coursecat_category(coursecat_helper $chelper, $coursecat, $depth) {
// open category tag
$classes = array('category');
if (empty($coursecat->visible)) {
$classes[] = 'dimmed_category';
}
if ($chelper->get_subcat_depth() > 0 && $depth >= $chelper->get_subcat_depth()) {
// do not load content
$categorycontent = '';
$classes[] = 'notloaded';
if ($coursecat->get_children_count() ||
($chelper->get_show_courses() >= self::COURSECAT_SHOW_COURSES_COLLAPSED && $coursecat->get_courses_count())) {

// Make sure JS file to expand category content is included.
$this->coursecat_include_js();

$content = html_writer::start_tag('div', array(

'data-categoryid' => $coursecat->id,
'data-depth' => $depth,

'data-type' => self::COURSECAT_TYPE_CATEGORY,

// category name
$categoryname = $coursecat->get_formatted_name();
$categoryname = html_writer::tag('span', $categoryname);

$categoryiconnum = 'categoryicon' . $coursecat->id;

global $PAGE;
$val = '';
$icon = '';
// Do a settings check to output our icon for the category
if(!empty($PAGE->theme->settings->enablecategoryicon)) {
if(!empty($PAGE->theme->settings->$categoryiconnum)) {

}


$categoryname = html_writer::link(new moodle_url('/course/index.php',
array('categoryid' => $coursecat->id)),
$icon . $categoryname);
if ($chelper->get_show_courses() == self::COURSECAT_SHOW_COURSES_COUNT
&& ($coursescount = $coursecat->get_courses_count())) {
$categoryname .= html_writer::tag('span', ' ('. $coursescount.')',
array('title' => get_string('numberofcourses'), 'class' => 'numberofcourse'));
}
$content .= html_writer::start_tag('div', array('class' => 'info'));

$content .= html_writer::tag(($depth > 1) ? 'h4' : 'h3', $categoryname, array('class' => 'categoryname'));
$content .= html_writer::end_tag('div'); // .info

// add category content to the output
$content .= html_writer::tag('div', $categorycontent, array('class' => 'content'));

$content .= html_writer::end_tag('div'); // .category

// Return the course category tree HTML
return $content;
}
}

It's fixed in the master, so my best guess would be to have a look there.

My guess is css is involved - set the top:auto and the bottom:0 should fix it.

Please, any idea to fix this!

Thanks

The heading in question doesn't have either of those classes. The snippets I posted show clearly that the most specific identifier is just the H3 tag on it's own.

The HTML source is as shown below, and the the CSS is as above.

<div class="content"> <h3 class="sectionname">Main section at top of course - Section name</h3> <div class="summary"> <div class="no-overflow"> <h3>Heading 1</h3> <h4>Heading 2</h4> <h5>Heading 3</h5> <p><br></p> </div> </div> </div>

Thanks for all the improvements in 2.7.1, Danny. Our teachers really appreciate them.

I will open an issue re. the nav block alignment.
