Thanks Mary
Not really, Let's clarify it by an example, On" add an activity", let's select "assignment", asking for "assignment name" and "Descriptions"
Suppose, I named it as" Essay for Students". I can use HTML to change "Essay for Student", in terms of font and color ....,
But for the feedback this does not happen? Any solution?
Why we can change it using HTML for the name of all activities except the feedback?? HTML perfectly does work for all activities ( the name) , except the name of feedback? I have done for all activiti4es, I do not know how to do it for Feedback. What is the Solution?
Julie - I have just connected you to this previous discussion about changing the colour/font of Feedback https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=316930#p1270228
I see what you mean now but don't know the answer. Except that you can change the NAME of Feedback via the Language strings but if you mean the colours etc, then, no, as you noticed a few weeks back.
Which file in Moodle should be modified? Can anyone help?
I have split this discussion from the icons/theme on Julie and am moving it to the Feedback forum where your original discussion was. Unfortunately we now have two duplicate discussions on the same topic, so let's keep to this one for any further discussion on this issue. In future it's a good idea to keep to one topic per thread and not to duplicate problems from previous posts.
Thanks Mary for this,
If we are unable to change the name, ok. Can we change it using Moodle's files from the server. If yes, please can you advise which file? Finger cross for solving this serious issue in Moodle! I wonder if Mary Evans can solve the matter??
Does anyone know how we could change the name using html or php codes?
From memory I think the Feedback mod has past its 'sell-by' date!
i have never used it and so cannot comment, but when I have a chance to I will take it for a spin and try and figure out what is wrong with it.
As for Colours well these can be added via a theme using CSS

Mod assign has (as an example because its the same in the other mod folders I checked)
$mform->addElement('text', 'name', get_string('assignmentname', 'assign'), array('size'=>'64'));
if (!empty($CFG->formatstringstriptags)) {
$mform->setType('name', PARAM_TEXT);
} else {
$mform->setType('name', PARAM_CLEANHTML);
}
Mod feedback simply has
$mform->addElement('text', 'name', get_string('name', 'feedback'), array('size'=>'64'));
$mform->setType('name', PARAM_TEXT);
These are in the mod_form.php file of the modules
Bear in mind that if you alter this in core code, it will be overwritten whenever you update.

I am surprised that no one has fixed that before today.
I think that calls for a Moodle Tracker issue being set up!
Thanks
Mary
Richard, sorry, but your codes do not work at all. Please make sure when you advise people.
Codes do not work for me, I can change them using firebug but it does not work . You need clearly tell us what you have done, if you think I am wrong. That would be very helpful.
Hi Richard,
I just want to confirm that I tried all your steps and it works fine in Moodle 2.9.1.
With kind regards,
Hartmut
