I am trying to have the old fashion Moodle navigation where all of the blocks through the site are on the left side of the screen. However, I get almost all to be on the left but when I open an individual course, the blocks flip to the right side of the page. Can any one tell me how I can prevent this from happening?
Many thanks in advanced!
There is already a setting 'layout' on the 'General settings' where you can have the old left content right type layout.
I switched it to left in that setting, but when I enter a course, the blocks (nav) move to the right. I can set all on right, but I want all on left.
Oh ok, in that case leave the 'layout' setting ticked and change 'columns3.php' to 'columns2.php' in config.php here: https://github.com/gjb2048/moodle-theme_essential/blob/master/config.php#L97
Gareth...you forgot the regions need amending too!
https://github.com/gjb2048/moodle-theme_essential/blob/master/config.php#L98-L99
'regions' => array('side-pre', 'side-post', 'footer-left', 'footer-middle', 'footer-right'),
'defaultregion' => 'side-preost',
Oh ****, yes I did!
It's a pity we can't split $OUTPUT->main_content() for the frontpage into smaller packets so we can move stuff into new content regions? I was thinking of a stacked layout on the frontpage, bit like this...
Nice idea!
Now, here is a thought....
The front page is a course. That course has a course format of 'site'. If core was changed to allow the user to pick any course format, then contributed ones could be used, such as: https://moodle.org/plugins/view/format_masonry
Ohhh...now THAT is interesting to know!
Thanks
Works likes a charm!!!!!!!
Thank you both!
PS - love all the options in the theme!
