Evolved Theme

Evolved Theme

I am trying to simply change the style of a header - here is the style that exists:

.loginbox h2 {
  color:#DBDBDB;
  text-align:center;
}

I am trying to override the style using the Custom CSS option (change the font to basic black).  I do realize that I could probably access the css files on the backend, but at this time, I do not have FTP access. 

Please let me know if I'm using the Custom CSS option in the theme incorrectly.

Thank you.

Hi, If it is not working then there may be a problem with the cache so try a Purge all cache

If that does not work then either the CSS is not the one you want, or there is something wrong with the CSS box in Evolve-D theme

Cheers

Mary:

Thank you very much for the quick response.  I had completely forgotten to clear the cache, but it didn't do the trick. 

I'm going to contact the developer and see if it's a bug he knows about.

Thanks again!

Yes it is a BUG!!!

It is casued by the way the stylesheets have been added in the theme's config.php. If you look it is written like this...

$THEME->sheets = array('custom','evolved');

which is WRONG! it should be writtne like this...

$THEME->sheets = array('evolved', 'custom');

because the 'custom.css' file adds the setting styles LAST so that it can override the theme's css.

It's not Chris's fault, as I doubt that he would be aware of it...I dont think it is documented anywhere, its just something I know from making the same mistake years ago! smile

So if you have access to the file on your server, just change it! smile

Cheers

Hi Chris -

We have just installed Moodle v2.8 and your April 14 2015 version of the Evolved theme. I really like the JQuery tab that you have on the home page in your demo video.

Could you share that JQuery with me? I see most of it from the video, but I'm wondering if there other parts of moodle that I must update? I tried to put in a tab example myself, but it just displayed as 'flat' HTML.

Many thanks in advance,

Helen

This is the code I am using:

<div class="fp-tabs">

    <ul class="nav nav-tabs">

<li class="active"><a data-toggle="tab" href="#welcome">Welcome</a></li>

<li class=""><a data-toggle="tab" href="#teacher">Teacher - Getting Started</a></li>

    </ul>

    <div class="tab-content">

<div id="welcome" class="tab-pane fade active in">

TAB ONE CONTENT

</div>

        <div id="teacher" class="tab-pane fade">

TAB TWO CONTENT

   </div>

    </div>

</div>

Your image looks correct.  Be sure that you have the latest version of the evolve-D theme as I fixed the issue Mary pointed out with the style sheet ordering.  

I tested this and can verify it works on our production site which is now M2.8.
