One more question, on the logged in user frontpage, is it possible to group the enrolled courses in their categories, instead of having the courses scattered about?

No, as far I know. This is a moodle feature and it is supposed that the student is enrolled in a few courses not enough to be divided in categories.

Redirect the logged user to the Dashboard instead the frontpage and you will see only your courses.

How can i do this?


Does this mean students go to dashboard straight? Who would see the frontpage then?

This is the information to redirect logged users to Dashboard.

https://docs.moodle.org/29/en/Dashboard

In BCU you can add the Dashboard menu to the navbar. Guest will see the front page, after login they will be redirected to Dashboard and they could go at any moment using the "Dashboard" menu.

My moodle 2.8 uses My home instead of Dashboard. How can i change it to Dashboard? It sounds better in our context

In the existing version, BCU uses the default moodle label. In version 2.8 was 'My Home' and from version 2.9 is 'Dashboard'

In the beta version you can change this label.

The new BCU Beta version is available in: https://bitbucket.org/covuni/moodle-theme_bcu

The direct link to download the theme is: https://bitbucket.org/covuni/moodle-theme_bcu/get/master.zip

Still in Beta so do not use in production sites. It runs in moodle 2.8, 2.9 and 3.0.

It has many more features and settings. It takes some time to configure the theme and for the moment no documentation available until the development finish that I hope will be soon.

Suggestions, comments and bugs are always welcome.

Hi, Fernando

In BCU Beta version

To make the issue of translation, to translate the file lang > en > theme_bcu.php

I create a directory lang > pt_br and put the translation of this directory before doing the installation?

Ricardo,

this is at your choice, you can translate the strings before or after installation.

Anyway, even I do not expect more changes in the lang file, my advice is to wait a few days to get a stable version. Then I will start also the translation to spanish and other languages.

And we'll be glad to add your translation to the theme.

Plugins on the plugins database no longer need to include other languages as files.  You can use AMOS -> https://docs.moodle.org/dev/AMOS_manual?redirect=no and therefore anybody can go in and translate strings.  The translated strings are then available in the language pack itself.  Also see:

Thank you Gareth for the information. But we are talking about the new version that still in Beta and I don't know when will be published yet. For now, the new version has about 500 strings more than the existing.

If someone want to start the translation then can do it now using the lang file and import the file to AMOS later (or share it here and I will upload it if don't have an account).

Personally I prefer this procedure because I work better with my editor than the AMOS page.
