Themes

Hi Mary,

Is that after notifications to install and switching to the theme?

Cheers,

Hi,

could you post the code you used in /admin/settings.php?section=themesettings in "Custom menu items"?

Kind regards,

David

Hi,

you will have to add some CSS that hides the actual logo and uses some body attribute like the category id in order to place a custom logo on each course belonging to a specific category.

Kind regards,

David

Duplicate the theme or pick another theme for the second corporation.  Then apply the second theme to the corporation category (you need allow theme assignment at the category level for this).

Are the courses for each corporation in different categories (can they be) or are the users actually using the same courses but you want them to see different logos?

In the first instance either David or Emma's solutions will work - a different theme for each category, or a little bit of css that targets the categoryid in the body class, such as (Sorry, I don't have squared theme installed at the moment and I'm not on a computer with access to my moodle, so the example below is illustrative only and not the actual code for using in squared - I'll try and find that later if you cant find it using something like firebug, but the use of the categoryid class will allow you to target any css selector below, or including,  body with customisations for that particular corporation, so the exact css isn't necessarily relevant to the example)

.header logo {background: your_background_image_styles_css_for_default_look;}
.category-2 .header .logo {background: your_background_image_styles_css_for_corp1;}
.category-7 .header .logo {background: your_background_image_styles_css_for_corp2;}

If the latter, you may need to do some additional coding to make use of a user profile field that identifies the corporation the user works for and allows that to add a body class, then target the css using that rather than the category. You may also need to use this method if you want them to see their own corporation styling/logo on pages such as their own profile page which are not in any course or category.

You would add something like this in the early part of the relevant layout files

global $USER;
$bodyclasses = array();
if ($USER->institution == 'corp1' ) {$bodyclasses[] = 'corporationone';}
if ($USER->institution == 'corp2' ) {$bodyclasses[] = 'corporationtwo';}

Then the css would be something like

.corporationone .header .logo {background: your_background_image_styles_css_for_corp1;}
.corporationtwo .header .logo {background: your_background_image_styles_css_for_corp2;}

Hi,

I think the simple solution to this is to :

1. create two categories.
   one to represent corp1
   one to represent corp2.
2. Add courses to each category
3. If using the Square theme then you need to have two
   child themes. I can make these for you no problem

When you have done all this and the themes are in place then all you need to do is to make sure you set each course to force theme/square_corp1 and theme/square_corp2 within their respective categories.

You will then be able to add a separate Logo to each theme.

This is how it was done in a school in China when I was working for a Moodle partner New School Learning. There they had six themes all the same but had different colours.

Hope this helps?

Mary
