Hi all
I am using moodle 2.7 and I would like the site to be with different information and not only courses information.
I find the moodle.org site very intersting a beautifule
Is it moodle?
which Theme is it?
thanks
Iris
Yes it's Moodle, it's a custom theme and sadly no you can't have it ... Moodle HQ keeps it's theme to itself to be unique
I will add a comment to Just H.
I find it interesting (someone please correct me if I am wrong) that of the four top LMSs (BB, D2L, C, and M) that only Moodle uses its own product for supporting "open" discussions. In other words, Moodle uses Moodle, but the other companies cannot make this claim.
thanks for the replays.
which Theme could I use to have a nice site with different information and not only courses info?
I am using essential
thanks
It's not a "what theme?" question really, more a question of what you want to do and your imagination. Essential is an excellent start as it already has marketing spots etc. Adding other plugins such as Static Pages should open up endless possibilities.
I cannot answer your question directly.
Have you considered creating simply a webpage (homepage) where you can do anything you want, then on it having a link or a button that allows people to get into Moodle? This is what I do. If you look at my homepage, this is just general information. Yet, there is a button for my students to get into Moodle.
Check this discussion out.
Mary, thanks

Iris,
In Site Administration > Front Page > Front Page Settings
You'll find an option "Include a topic Section" - by default its checked, but some users uncheck it, so you're going there just to make sure its checked.
Now come to your main/front page, click "Turn Editing On"
you'll see a gear icon (shown below)
Clicking this icon will reveal the text input area as shown below
Now click icon (where it shows 1) and it will open all the tools in the editor, then you'll click 2nd icon (showing <>) - this will switch your editor to HTML mode from WYSIWYG mood. In HTML Moodle you can straight away type HTML codes, and this what is you're asking for.
thanks Usman
I have checked the "include the topic section"
but
for some reason the gear icon is not shown
any idea?
Make sure editing is turned on. Look at the front page admin settings.
thank you all
Iris
