Thank you for this beautiful theme.

I get admin/adaptable/pix/layout.png was not found on this server. Why would this happen?

Moreover, is it possible to make "Header Navbar" sticky when scrolling below. Just an idea it would be good in my opinion.

Best regards,

Fernando is adding a screen shot of the layout to be linked from some admin pages. This is to help users make sense of the settings. It seems he has forgotten to add the image, I am sure he will put that back shortly.

the layout.png issue is already fixed. Download the theme from https://moodle.org/plugins/theme_adaptable

About the sticky navbar at the top, we will add it to the To Do list. Thanks for your suggestion.

How can i hide the Login button and the search courses box from the login page only?

Any CSS to direct the login page, or delete the Login form appearing in header from code and the search box.

Thankyou for the help

Actually there are only two options: button or login box.

We are considerating to remove the button in future versions and then you can redirect the users to a login page or add a login block.

As a workaround you can hide the button using CSS.

Can you move the sections, as shown, for marketing Spot mention at 2 places makes bit of confusion. Either send it down or bring that up - whatever you feel logical.

Also, a small visual guide is definitely needed for there are so so many settings that makes me confused which ones does which, like in case of Font, I still couldn't figure out which settings will change COURSE HEADER fonts. So something like that could point out which part represents which settings (Like labeling the page(s) with font options etc showing which setting will change which font)

Noticed that "Performance Info" only shows time taken to render the page, can other info be displayed?

Also, is FRONT PAGE INFO BOX is as same as FRONT PAGE CONTENT available in other themes like Essential/Elegance? ---- Just tested it and it looks like it, but just confirm me!

Once again, well done guys! can say enough about this new addition.

Open /lang/en/theme_adaptable and change "My Courses" in line 916.

"Courses" is used in many strings so you need to find and replace manually. Don't do it automatically.

Rather than change in the theme files (which would get overwritten on upgrade and therefore you'd need to redo them every time) customise the language strings the recommended way which carries over regardless of upgrades.

3 and 4 are were done last night, there are now color pickers in the slider settings.

If you have not done so you can download the latest version (link at the top of this page).

If you swtich between different sliders then different color pickers will appear so save in between selecting the type of slider and updating colors.

I will take a look at 1 and 2 at some point but want to sort out a few gripes and get the next release out first.

I thought I could change the colors of the labels h3 and h4 in both styles 1 and 2, without using html. Because when I use html the white space generated in mobile it gets bigger and it's what I wanted to avoid.

I attached some snapshots of slides in mobile without html that is what I wanted to change of color indicated in red by h3 and analogously by h4.

I apology for the trouble.

did you test it the drag and drop, for example to upload a picture to your profile?

I personally use FF and Chrome and the drag and drop works well. And in any case this is a moodle element, not an Adaptable or a theme element.

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

by Richard Oelmann - Sunday, 7 February 2016, 3:52 AM

Just to say, I tested the new version and have no problems adding drag and drop images to slides.

I would suggest testing by:

1. While in Adaptable, go to your user profile and check whether you can drag and drop an image into your user profile image (as Fernando suggests)

If there is still a problem

2. Change theme to Clean and test the same thing

If there is still a problem, remove any other 3rd party plugins you have and test again. If it works then, add the plugins back in one at a time, to see if (and which one) is potentially causing the problem.

At each stage you should use your browser tools to check whether there is a javascript error.

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

by Emma Richardson - Tuesday, 26 January 2016, 3:05 AM

Jez,

I have started preliminary testing of your latest release. Before I start my list of requests, let me just say that this is one of the most exciting Moodle Themes I have seen in a long time. (Not that there are not some great ones out there but this theme just really appeals to my design sense).

I have only just started but thought I would get this thoughts out before I dig any deeper!

1. The marketing spots. Love the look and the layout. But would really love it if you could make them link to url of choice (my thought is that that is the purposing of marketing spots - to show the user something or somewhere else..). Bas in Elegance made the whole marketing block a link which is an awesome feature and on the settings page, there is place to put the url. Also, the Enable Marketing Blocks check box does not seem to work. Marketing blocks show up when it is not checked?? Also, they do not adjust height consistently. Again, in Elegance, when you expand one of the marketing spots to have more content, the height of the other ones adjust as well.

2. The block layout builder. This might be one of the most powerful additions to this theme. Great layout builder (you might want to add somewhere on the settings page that you have to save changes before the preview will show you your specific layout). Also, for the very anal of us, I would like the option to have a consistent height for the blocks in the same way I requested for the marketing spots. Currently they just adjust to the size of the content which might work for some, but I think they would look better all the same size even if there was white space in the block itself. If you were to do that, perhaps having the height default to the largest block in the row would be a good solution. That way you wouldn't ever get content cut off but you would be able to have tidy rows.

See the image below to see what I mean.

Thanks again for all the work on this!

Emma,

did you take a look to the README.txt file included in the theme?

You will find there some code snippets for the marketing blocks where you can create the same styles that the demo site shows.

A simple HTML and CSS will create your own design.

About the links, just add a Bootstrap button. You can find the information, and how it looks in Adaptable, in the demo site. In the top menu you can find Theme Features > Typography with several buttons samples. It's really easy to add a button with the same theme style.

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

by Emma Richardson - Tuesday, 26 January 2016, 4:52 AM

Yes, I did look at the readme.

I did figure out that display:flex will adjust the marketing blocks height and I can add links. Just find it a little cleaner in the Elegance style and easier to set up. Nothing wrong with wanting it all in one theme, right??!!!

I have yet to figure out a fix for the height issue in the blocks -hopefully someone else might and could post it?

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

by Emma Richardson - Tuesday, 26 January 2016, 5:51 AM

I am just being lazy about the urls but also realize that a lot of people don't want to drive manual, as Usman puts it! Even though it gives you more control...and we do all like control!! I was really thinking more big picture as a theme that is basic user adaptable...not so much that I couldn't put a button in with a link attached to it...more that there are a lot of people that wouldn't know how to do that and wouldn't have time to learn!

Several other themes use the marketing spots primarily as url's and so the settings have a url entry place and then the marketing spot or the marketing spot header just link to your url without having to pull out the a href code etc..

As for the consistent height, I put in an issue on bitbucket and am discussing with Jeremy too. That is something that I think should be part of the theme. I believe that the marketing spots and the blocks in a specific row should all be the same height...it would be cleaner and not so disjointed...

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

by Fernando Acedo - Tuesday, 26 January 2016, 6:23 AM

Emma,

this is a sample of the code used in the demo:

<div style="text-align:center; background: #ffffff; height: 240px; padding: 7px;">
    <i class="fa fa-font fa-5x"></i>
    <h3 style="color: #333333;">TITLE</h3>
    <div style="text-align:center;">Add your text here</div>
</div>

Add the height in the container div and all the blocks will be identical. Just find the right height for all of them.

To add a button in a link, add one of these BS samples:

<a class="btn btn-default" href="#" role="button">Link</a>
<button class="btn btn-default" type="submit">Button</button>
<input class="btn btn-default" type="button" value="Input">
<input class="btn btn-default" type="submit" value="Submit">

Adaptable uses the same classes but adapted to the buttons style created in the theme.

Hope it help you.

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

by Fernando Acedo - Tuesday, 26 January 2016, 3:48 PM

Usman,

I'm writing some documentation about how to customize the marketing blocks, the info boxes and the footer boxes.

Basically is:

<div style="text-align:center; background: #ffffff; height: 240px; padding: 7px;">
    <i class="fa fa-font fa-5x"></i>
    <h3 style="color: #333333;">TITLE</h3>
    <div style="text-align:center;">Add your text here</div>

<a class="btn btn-default" href="#" role="button">Link <a/>
</div>

In the <div> container add the background color and fix the height. The padding willhelp you to beautify the code inside the block.

The <i> adds a Font Awesome Icon. See the list in: http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/icons/

The <h3> is an optional title. Change the colour if needed.

The <a> tag is a link converted in a button.

But the best place to find code snippets is the demo site where you can find all the code using Firebug.

Hope to publish soon more code snippets.

Hi Fernando!

I have a very strange issue related to above.

I have 3 marketing HTML blocks and used your sample code to populate them.

<div style="text-align:center; background: #ffffff; color: #511F27; height: 230px; padding: 0px;">
<div><i class="fa fa-laptop fa-5x"></i>
<h2 style="color: #511F27;">Comprehensive Courses</h2></div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align:center; padding: 5px;">Resume Construction<br>Interview Skills<br>Networking<br>Negotiating </div>
<div style="color: #222222; text-align:center;"><a href="/login/index.php">More...</a></div></div>

This works fine in 2 of the blocks but the one on the left (Doesn't matter which one I use)
turns all text into a hot link with an <a href="#" and all the text is a rollover.
I have tried numerous ways to disable this but simply can't .

any ideas?

Also I have 1 slider graphic on the home page with no link but I get the same <a href="#" and can't make it go away even though I have left the link blank in the administrator settings.

I absolutely love this theme but these 2 little issues have consumed the last 2 days.

Help!

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

by Richard Oelmann - Thursday, 3 March 2016, 7:54 AM

Frontpage.php layout file calls the get_frontpage_slider function in renderers.php

echo $OUTPUT->get_frontpage_slider();

That function makes use of the settings (some of them through a loop eg. p1, p1url, p2 p2url, etc)

renderers.php L803-849

which uses some of the settings from /settings/frontpage_slider.php to provide the content.

Some of the other settings are then css and are processed through lib.php using an array from the settings, rather than identifying each individual setting as in most css lib processing (neat and clever way to do it at a first glance - haven't seen that before)

That's way too complex for me...Its easier to add the HTML for the Carousel into an HTML block and add then uplload inages via the Text editor..

I think I found an error in the Renderers.php here...

return "<div class=\"$type\">$message</div>";

I thick this is wrong an should be this...

return '<div class="$type">' . $message . '</div>';

Otherwise all the rest of the renderer gets out of sync...notice the lack of coloured code that differenciates between variables and text et. al...see screenshot.

Regards your comment:

"I absolutely love this theme but these 2 little issues have consumed the last 2 days."

I would suggest:

You try and set things up on a test server before applying to a live site (if you are not already doing this)
You report issues sooner rather than later, it sounds like there are some bugs we need to look into here
If you are sure there is a but report it in our issue tracker including screen shots / recordings if possible. Screen recordings are a great way to demonstrate a problem if your test system is not available online. You can make them with http://screencast-o-matic.com/home put them in dropbox and add the link into an issue tracker

Hi Rob,

Thanks for the link and access to your site.

I may be wrong, but I suspect that the problem you are experiencing with the slider is actually a feature in that the image is enveloped by the <a></a> tag. That being so the only way to get this removed is to ask that the link be an option in the setting. It may also be party to do with the fact you did not add a 'caption', but I am not 100% sure of that.

So over to Jez and Fernando for a solution!

Cheers

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

Hi Mary, Rob,

The way this *should* work is that href should only be present when you add a "slide link url". That feature was added so you could use images in sliders with a link without having to add a caption.

If you are using captions which have a link then you would not want / need to do that as you can add the link in the caption itself.

I will take a look at this shortly.

Hi Diana,

You would need to add it to the front page, you can put it in the hidden blocks region at the bottom of the page. Copy the url once you have addeed it and then add a link to the file in the text editor.

Hi Jez, thanks for your answers,

I configured my zone of marketing blocks with 1 horizontal row of 4 blocks. When I select a block and linked it with the corresponding URL, the block linked move it to the right, pushing the blocks adjacents in the same row, so that the last block of the row moves and located to below of first block, defacing the selected arrangement.

I did my custom blocks in JPG with different dimensions (from 600x600 px to 100x100 px) and in all cases after the executing the link, the blocks in JPG moves to the right.

This is normal behavior of these blocks or I am doing something wrong?

Please, how I can prevent displacement of the custom blocks in JPG, to avoid the moving to the right after executing the link with URL corresponding and preserve the selected arrangement in the zone the marketing blocks?

Thanks.

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

Using the image 'alignment' you can position the image around the button (or a text)

This question is more related to CSS than the theme itself. Adaptable , like many other moodle themes, only use Bootstrap as a base.

Any snippet of CSS running in Bootstrap or any standard CSS you can find about this topic should work in Adaptable.

I would need to see what you want to do to give you more details.

Thanks Fernando, my idea is that the administrator or corresponding teacher, deliver to students a basic configuration according to your requirements, so that students are not distracted by settings and focus more time to their studies, the teacher must manage all items and make corrections necessary, to avoid uncontrolled changes, misconfigurations, lost of information, unauthorized upload files, among others.

Also I wanted to comment following: what should I do for I get a notice upgrade in my web site when a new update of theme adaptable is available, usually what I do is verify moodle plugins page, every so often.

I will wait the theme upgrade, that is very good and nice.

You can try to disable some features using roles. I just finish a project where students and teachers are unable to change settings and have access only to a few options. Only a manager have some permissions to enrol students (but not unenrol). This is probably the best way to manage a 'closed' site.

From now we will publish new updates in this thread so you will know it before moodle show the warning.

Anyway, you can try the latest version from the repository: https://bitbucket.org/covuni/moodle-theme_adaptable

This did not happen previously.

As I can avoid this, I do not know what happened, I try to correct it by editing the student role but does not work, the category (student), names and last name are in sight of all in the math course. Please, what can I do in this case?

Contact means all the teacher roles. So if you want to display the teachers in the course box when hover the mouse then you must enable this setting.

Use the default values to see if only one teacher is displayed in the course box:

Show course contacts
Default: Yes

Show all course contacts
Default: No

Show course contacts role
Default: Yes

These settings will display one Teacher with the role teacher before the name.

color: setting:linkcolor;

to:

color: setting:blocklinkcolor;

then purge all caches.

Note: I cannot get that code to format properly here on Moodle.Org, in the file you will see it wrapped in double brackets. All you need to change is linkcolor to blocklinkcolor.

Is there some sort of tutorial on the basics of setting up a theme. I think I know what I want it to look like, I just don't know how that translates to the settings.

Thanks.

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

by Jez H - Wednesday, 20 January 2016, 11:53 PM

Hi Rob,

My advice would be to install the theme with default settings and enable it for yourself in your profile or enable Moodles theme URL switching which will allow you to switch between themes by putting theme=adaptabe, theme=clean into the URL:

https://docs.moodle.org/29/en/Allow_theme_change_by_URL

Thus you can work on configuring the theme without it being live on your site and also show other users.

As you try to configure it if you run into problems post specific questions in the forum and we can help you.

We will be working on documentation for this theme in the coming days.

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

by Derek Chirnside - Thursday, 21 January 2016, 3:22 AM

This is far too general a question Rob.

Do you have a dev server? Have you installed Moodle and got Adaptable in there as a theme? You may then need to upload a few courses to play with.

If so you are ready to start as Jez says. If you haven't, maybe you just have an existing server and no dev server then the pathway may be a little different.

We need more information before we can really help.

And: have you read any Moodle documentation?

Thanks for your reply. I have been able to find my way around (a little). I was able to load the theme without letting all the other users see it, using the ?theme=adaptable extension on the URL. This has been helpful. I am slowly trying to play with settings in order to see how the sight looks. This may take some time for me to slowly go through everything.

I really appreciate how quickly you guys have been on responding and willingness to help out.

I don't think we have a dev server, but I'm not sure. I've heard that term thrown around, but I don't think for moodle.

Thanks again,

it takes to me about 2 hours to set and test all the settings to create a different style from the default. And then you must add the content, so take it easy

I attach a screenshot from one of the beta testers sites we testing the theme in production. In this case I created only the main design and the owner added all the content: text and images.

The icon in the site title can be added using a i tag with the desired icon. See http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/examples/ for more information about how to add an icon.

You cannot style them independently at the moment, but we are working on that. Fernando is talking about making an enhanced version of the HTML block to help with this.

By fixed navigation I think you mean run the sidebar up alongside the marketing blocks? If so I am going to look at that too, it is something the administrator of one of our Moodle sites asked abot, but it would remain below the top slider, if you are using that.

You may be able to through customcss as (if I understand correctly) they are a block region, so that block region should have a class or id identifier to target the blocks inside it - that way they would get restyled while they are in that region, but change back to standard if they are ever dragged back into one of the sidebars

Course images are set within the individual course.

Go to "edit settings" in your course and upload an image under the "summary files" field.

I am very excited about this theme! I am a Moodle Manager and course developer for 6 related entities. Although the courses are entered from one site, the different entities have their own courses. The Adaptable Theme allows me to do a lot of creative work with each without needing to "bother" the technicians who have access to code level.

One item that appears to be missing for our needs, though, seems to be the multi-language filter. My current courses have worked well with the Adaptable theme on my development Moodle, but since the courses included are in 4 different languages I need to be able to use the multi-language filter on the Front Page so each "Student" sees the welcome and intro in her language. Will this be added?

The multi-language filter is not part of the theme and (if its enabled on your site) should work on any content area that uses the html editor to add content - it wont work on plain text entry fields (I don't think).

I have a "label" on the front page which introduces the three types of courses and then uses a table to show/link the courses. The courses titles on this menu are of course in their respective languages; but the descriptions of the categories are in 3 languages presently (in the "More" Theme) and by using the "multilang" class code in the label only the language of the browser shows. Now in the Adaptable Theme, all languages show--as if the code wasn't there.

Hi Antonio,

There is an option in the theme to "disable moodle custom menus" or somethign along those lines.

Using that allows sites that run multiple themes to use moodle custom menus in those themes but disable it in this one and use the custom menus in this theme instead.

That does duplicate work but as you can see the custom menus dont render well.

I guess we should look at moving custom menus into the upper header and getting them working properly. The reason they render in the lower navbar is a legacy from BCU theme.

I will look at this at some point, but for now would suggest you disable them in this theme and put them into the upper menus.

Hi Jez and co,

Congratulations on a great theme, I have been having a lot of fun playing with it, you have made it available just when we are thinking of upgrading our theme!

I can see you are already busy making even more improvements (the layout builders are great), so I hate to give you more to do.

The only part of the site I haven't been able to get how I would like is the header region. Is it possible to add even more "adaptability" here?. This of course appears everywhere on the site and it is nice to be able to have it looking great.

I'd like to be able to:

-Set a colour for hover over the menu items, and possibly a colour for the "home" button which can be different from the rest of the menu

-Choose whether to have both the upper header and the navbar visible. I need relatively few menu items and for having both makes the header region unnecessarily large. Could I have an option to not have the upper header, moving the log in box to elsewhere (perhaps the region of optional social icons in the main header)

Probably wishful thinking on the second one, but a bit more colour personalisation might not be too hard?

Thank you again for your hard work!

Jenny

Hi Jenny,

Improving the header is something I would like to do. For example adding a choice of header layouts and the option to collapse into a smaller header in course pages. Some of our users have complained about the header being too busy.

However for the time being I am focussing on improving what we have rather than adding more features, i.e. bug fixes, accessibility (there are issues on screen readers) and other minor tweaks and gremlins.

We also need to write some documentation.

If the color pickers are easy to add I will look at those but the header options wont be looked at for some time.

Hi Mary,

If you pull the latest version of master linked in the first post of this forum it has some fixes for these issues.

I need to do more work on this and will release a new version on Moodle.Org in the next day or two.

In short, the admin settings use loops and conditional statements depenent on previous settings. Once you save theme settings these should go away, but more needs to be done to set them via lib.php and trap any errors in the renderers on installation.

Hi there,

I played around with your demo page (using firefox) and noticed that the frontpage blocks don't resize properly on smaller screen sizes (below 1200).

The demo has the blocks height forced to 240px. That's the reasons the text is truncated. And still using version 1.0.0 that doesn't includes the layout builder.

Since the blocks can be customized using CSS you can use other properties like min-height to avoid the problem.

It's a simple CSS question.

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

by Sebastian Wz - Tuesday, 2 February 2016, 9:33 PM

A few more things I came across (using firefox/chrome, Adaptable 1.1.0, Moodle 3.02, no custom css/js):

1) In the block layout settings, blockmainbordertopstyle is called "block header border style", and the description text is also the same as the one for the header where it should actually reference the main area.

2) In the Marketing Spots settings page, the link to the readme.txt doesn't work. (returns "The requested URL /adaptable/README.txt was not found on this server.)

3) The linked Marketing Spot area overflows the marketing spot itself in standard view, so if you hover in the "white space" somewhere next to it, clicking will still take you to the link even though you're nowhere near the marketing spot.

4) The combo list on the front page doesn't display properly, it just shows an empty bordered box. Course list, category list and search box work fine. (front page course boxes style: tiles w/ overlay)

5) The quiz review page has a scroll bar next to the short summary at the top which shouldn't be there.

Best regards and thanks for your work on the theme,

Seb

Ok, 3) doesn't have anything to do with the marketing spots apparently, but there's still a large link area on both sides of marketing spots and front page blocks linking to the front page (like the logo in the header), which is unneccessary because we already are on the front page.. am i missing something here?

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

by Fernando Acedo - Wednesday, 3 February 2016, 1:37 AM

Sebastian,

Thank you for using Adaptable.

I will answer your questions:

1) The lang file is really complex with such number of settings and using a legacy file from BCU, so some strings are duplicated and a few are wrong. In this case the variable is correct and the title and description are wrong. Block Main is the content part of the block and block header is obviously referred to the header block.

We have already an open issue and hope to solve it soon.

2) Already fix it in the repository. You can update the theme form there or waut until a new release in MPD.

3) Can you paste the code you added to the marketing block?

4) Unfortunately this feature is still not available. If you set the 'Combo List' in moodle then the result is not controlled by Adaptable.

Hi Fernando,

thank you for looking into it!

The Marketing blocks just contain a bit of filler text and and an image each, no links.

The entire marketing block area (including the space next to it) seems to have a #-link for some reason:

It's the same with the slider (.slides contains <a href="#"> which then contain the actual slider images) which also links to the page itself even though the slider pics are not linked to anything in the slider menu.

Also, as someone mentioned already, turning off the marketing spots in the settings doesn't do anything, they still show up. (purging cache didn't help)

Another thing:

The custom block regions layout doesn't work in some cases and puts blocks below others when they should be next to them, which is probably because of the horizontal 2.5641% margin which causes blocks to break to the next row too early. Looks fine and lines up nicely with the marketing spots when I remove the margin.

Best regards,

Seb

Hi,

thank you for developing this nice theme.

I have upgraded to the 1.1.0 version from the 1.0.0 version.

In this new version I have got the marketing block area and another area below it that is always visible, irrespective of the setting of the show marketing block parameter.

Another problem is with the My courses option of the navbar. When the course description is very long, it leaks out of the dropdown box.

I send a picture of the marketing block area and another area below (that i do not know what it is and how to use) that I cannot get rid of.

Thanks

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

Version 1.1.0 includes a new feature called "Marketing Block Layout Builder" where you can create your own layout for the marketing blocks. Go to the Adaptable settings and change the layout.

Another new feature is the "Block Region Builder". You can drag&drop moodle blocks to these area and create your own layout too. If you don't want to use this feature you can disable in the theme settings.

About the course title spills out the dropdown, it is really odd because the title is truncated to 30 characters and tested with several ths and languages to verify is always displayed correctly.

Could you take a screenshot?

I attach a picture to shows the problem of the "My courses" menu option with descriptions of courses that extend beyond the drop down box.

Sorry but I can't understand the issue.

I was taking a look to your site and there are no links in the Marketing Blocks or Info Box. The slideshow has two slides with a different link.

All the links in the front page boxes are created manually using HTML and the slides links must be added in the Frontpage Slider configuration. So they are totally different.

Could you post a most clear information about the issue?

Hi Nadirshah,

It would be possible to download Font Awesome and include it within the theme. You would have to modify the theme to reference your local (to your Moodle install) copy as opposed to FA CDN.

If you look at line 117 of /adaptable/layout/includes/header.php you can see where this is loaded:

//if (!empty($PAGE->theme->settings->enablemyhome)) {

$branchtitle = "About us";

$branchlabel = '<i class="fa fa-university"></i> '.$branchtitle;

$branchurl = new moodle_url('/mod/page/view.php?id=54');

You can select different views for the footer blocks in:

Site administration > Appearance > Themes > Adaptable > Footer > Footer Blocks Placement

There are no options to display or not the blocks in the login page only so if you want to remove the blocks only in the footer will need to add some CSS:

#page-login-index blockplace1 {display: none; }

Note: add blockplace2 and blockplace3 if you are using more than 1 footer blocks row.

I don't understand when you say:

"And can you help me how can I set horizontal (what is originally vertical) dock menu in CSS or in php?"

Moodle system menus are always vertical and located in blocks. You can add or remove the blocks, or hide them using the "Hidden blocks" feature. Docking blocks should not be used with adaptable cause you have the hidden feature.

These blocks can be converted to horizontal menus in the Navbar. The most you can do is move the blocks to the centre using the Blocks builder layer.

Sorry, the CSS is not correct. This must works:

About the docking. The label is part of the moodle core and not the theme. Rotate the label means modify the area width. If the goal of docking blocks is to free space for the content, rotating the label will take almost the same space than a block.

Also, Adaptable has the option to hide the blocks, then the docking feature is totally useless. In fact, docking should be disabled by the theme.

Surely hiding and docking are two different features - I frequently have several blocks that I keep docked. It means they don't scroll with the page and I can always access my quickfind course and user blocks when I'm giving support to staff. That wouldn't be possible if they were hidden.

I agree this is the case, I regularly log in as users who have the blocks region visible but have one or two blocks docked as is their preference.

The show / hide all blocks is most useful when viewing reports or pages that take up more space in which case you can quickly hide the blocks for more screen space.

Docking is something we see users applying sitewide and sticking with whatever setup they choosed independently of the show / hide blocks feature.

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

Can anyone help me on how to hide a particular course block using CSS on the

http://localhost/LMS/?redirect=0 page that is "site page"

Please see the attached file, then the below description will be simple to understand.

I am using this course as a dummy where the admin adds events to the calendar for a particular cohort sync group(i.e south). (therefore only that cohort (south) can see the events on their calendar, others regions like north cannot see it, as they are not enrolled). This dummy course doesnot contain anything else except make events visible to a particular list of users.

Note: I did search hard for a plugin, a way to make the calendar distributed region wise, or lets say category wise but nothing only a tracker of 2009

The organization doesnot want to see this dummy course appear on the users "enrolled course listing".

When i hide this course, the events created in its calendar also disappear! I want the events to stay

Solution i can think of: is t hide that particular dummy course using custom CSS, so actually the course is there but not there for users to see

The problem is I cannot find a differentiating "id" or a "class" that is unique and static to that particular course block. (each time the id generated by the script is different for the same block)

How can i assign unique "name" to all the blocks getting listed on the frontpage? so that they can be manipulated by CSS. What code should i change and how, I am not able to understand the javascript where i could add a parameter of name in a presumed loop which is displaying the courses.

The attachment might help clear the question

Thankyou.

Adaptable Theme suport

by Dimitris Chalk - Saturday, 13 February 2016, 6:29 PM

This theme is truly adaptable. Nice work!

While I am trying to further customize the appearance of the front page by adding some custom css rules I came across two issues and I wonder if you could assist me on those.

The first has to do with the margin between the slider and the header when not logged in. If set the bottom margin of the "above-header" div to "0" (see red circle 1) I end up with this crazy behavior (see red circle 2) of the slider with showing part of the second slide along with the first.

The second issue has to do with the course blocks. The summary text of the course (on hover) seems to have a limit of 35 characters (green circle) and there is no "read more" button. Is there any way for me to change this? Furthermore the tiles offer three identical links to the course page (see red dots) but no link or other possibility to view the summary of the course. Is there any way to customize those too? And one last thing: in the description area in the tile (on hover) the course title appears twice (the blue 1&2 numbers) and this reduces more the space for the description text. Can i configure it differently?

I would be grateful if you could assist me on those.

Thank you in advance

Dimitris, thanks to select Adaptable for your moodle site.

I'm trying to replicate the header issues but I can get the same result.

Is the ticker enabled?

Is the slideshow enabled?

I see you added an image to the header. How did you do it?

About the course block, it has a limit of 70 characters including the ellipsis ("...")

This is a fixed value but probably will convert in a setting similar to My Courses length title. If you want to add a 'Read More' button you could do it using the included Bootstrap buttons. See the demo site: http://3-bits.com/demo/adaptable/mod/page/view.php?id=107

The code to add the button is (depending how to use it):

<a class="btn btn-default" href="#" role="button">Link</a>
<button class="btn btn-default" type="submit">Button</button>
<input class="btn btn-default" type="button" value="Input">
<input class="btn btn-default" type="submit" value="Submit">

We noticed the issue with the strange character in the end also in Cyrillic and I thought was fixed. It is an issue that only happens in multi-byte characters sets like Cyrillic or Greek. It depends of the last character and not the language. Just add an space or a short word and the issue disappears.

The links issue in the course blocks is also detected and it is pending to fix it soon.

You can use 2 course blocks styles. Did you try Coventry style?

Hi Fernando, Thanks for your responce

I have solved the header issue by hiding the searchbox. The ticker is enabled and the slider as well. The image you see is in the slider not on the header. Header is empty and not visible.

The problem remains with the course blocks. I do use coventry tiles as a base for my customisation.

I can not find any settings for changing the character number for the hover panel or remove the replicated course title (marked with the blue numbers) and I can not place any button or link in the summary area since the code is cleared when it comes to the block. I can only have buttons or links when using the default moodle view. The button doesn't show on neither of the other options (tiles, tiles with overlay or coventry).

The problem with the strange ending character is also solved the way you suggested

there are no settings to modify the summary length in the course blocks. Actually is hardcoded and maybe in the future will be a setting.

The link issue is actually in development so probably will be available at the end of the week.

I'm sorry but I told you to add a button in the courses blocks. You are right this is not possible. Only in the Marketing blocks.

This is correct. The Navbar menus are displayed only when you are logged.

If you want a menu for non-logged users (visitors) then create a Header menu and will be displayed in the top of the page.

In the demo site http://3-bits.com/demo/adaptable/ you can see a 'Header Menu' to show the 'Theme Features' when a visitor. After login you will see the Navbar menus.

Thank you for using Adaptable in your project.

The top header menus are not available in mobiles. You must create a tools menu instead. We are considerating this option for future versions.

The Guest options are common for all the moodle themes. See https://docs.moodle.org/30/en/Guest_access for more information.

One excellent feature I've come across elsewhere is a Category side menu that makes course navigation a breeze. You can see an example of it here: http://www.lmsthemes.com/enlight-demo/course/index.php?categoryid=4

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

Hi Derek,

That looks more like a block than part of the theme.

When you add blocks on category pages and edit the settings you can set the block to appear on the top level category page only or on any category page.

I am not sure if there is an existing plugin to render the category view like that. Ideally you would want it to show sub categories as you drilled down.

If there is no plugin and your categories don't change much you could use an html block.

Use a tool such as firebug or chrome developer tools to find out what the colour is and where it is coming from (It is useful to turn Theme Developer Mode on when doing this as it will tell you which css file and what line in that file the css being applied is from. You can also tell if other css has been applied but overridden by something else, so it really is a powerful tool for identifying issues like this.

Hi,

in the frontpage I have put a course category block. When clicking on a top level category, it shows the category page description where I have put an image and a description (only for top level categories).

While on the same page, if I click on a second top level category, it does not show anymore this category description page, instead it shows the second level category name (only in the block), while the page is still showing the initial top level category page I have clicked first.

I need to go back to the frontpage and start again clicking on a different top level category to show its description.

Is this a theme bug or a moodle bug?

Thanks

Hi, perhaps my message was not clear enough.

I have courses grouped in a system of 4 levels of nested categories, faculty, year, part of the year, semester.

I have put a description with an image only for the top level category (faculty).

In the block "course category" of the frontpage, when I click on a top level category (faculty) it shows the category description page.

Now if I click again on another top level category (another faculty) it simply shows its second level category (year) in the block, but does not show the new faculty description page. It keeps showing the description page of the initial faculty I clicked first.

You can try yourself having a look at the front page to this address: 169.255.132.42/moodle

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

Hi Fernando,

what happened is that when clicking on the frontpage "course category" block, it takes you on the category description page, on which there is no "course category" block, only the Navigation block, showing a course list similar to the "course category" block.

Now clicking on a category name on this similar list doesn't take you on its description page, instead opens the next category level name. This is actually useful to arrive at the course one is interested in.

So to solve the problem I had to insert the "course category" block on each faculty description page, in order to click on another faculty and see its description.

Quite a bit complicated solution

Is there any way that blocks specific of your theme in the frontpage: slider, marketing, infobox, Could only appear depending on the user's role?

It would be nice if they were shown to the guest role, but for example for the student role were hiding.

Thank you very much!

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

Thanks Sergio to select Adaptable for your moodle project.

For the moment, only menus and alerts are displayed depending an user custom field, not the role. Using the custom field, we can segment much more the content. For example, display different alerts for teachers depending the course.

Other parts like marketing blocks or the InfoBox has not so much sense to be hidden depending the role. When you open the site you are always a guest and you can see the front page you already setup.

After login, you should be redirected to the Dashboard and it can be configured by the admin. If not, Adaptable add the menus and blocks.

If you use the Blocks Builder then you can setup the permissions by role for each block. This is how the demo works to rmove the Navigation and Administration blocks.

I know you say documentation is coming soon and the forum is a good source of help.

I am new to theme customisation in Moodle.

I have had a bit of experience in Drupal and Wordpress and a reasonable understanding of CSS.

I have watched your video which is great but assumes a bit more knowledge than I have. I will also look at the demo site to learn from that (although because I can't log in as admin I can't see how to customise the front page).

I can drag blocks into regions and I understand how to set the number of rows in my layout and choose the number of regions per row. But I need a beginners guide to layout building.

Any resources or beginner tips you or others can share would be hugely helpful.

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

by Fernando Acedo - Tuesday, 15 March 2016, 4:08 AM

Thanks for choosing Adaptable for your moodle project.

The documentation will be delayed some time because the theme is evolving quickly and we need a stable version to create the documentation.

The layout is available in the layout.png file located in the /pix folder and also available from the settings page. It will show how we call the different parts of the template.

Then you can add content to these areas using the Adaptable settings pages or using the layouts builders.

The idea is to have a custom grid where you can create different number of cells in each row to put the content. In the blocks area, you can add any moodle block. In the marketing area, you can add any kind of content, from text to a video.

There are some samples of code in the README.txt file located in the Adaptable folder. In the demo, you can get the code used using Firebug, but mainly is the same you can find in the README.txt.

I'm working in a new demo site that will be available soon with the latest features (actually doesn't include the layout builders) and I will add more information to add content and use the layouts. Stay tuned.

In the meantime you can make more specific questions if you need help creating your content.

Hello everyone.

I have posted my question else where but I thought perhaps it might have to do with the theme. In case I am doing something wrong or there is something I should be doing.

I have installed "adaptive theme" and was customising it. The page load has been very slow to load and when I manage to log in I can't get past the default home page. All the "site Admin" links were kind of disabled (unclickable) except for the Notifications, Registration and Advanced features.

Initially, Installed moodle 3.0.2 and the upgrade to 3.0.3 thinking that was the problem but nothing resolved.

Could it be anything to do with the theme?

Earlier this morning, I was able to click through the adaptable menu options without any problem after log on, though it took a while to have the homepage load up.

Later on, the same problem started again, the adaptable menu options and others became unclickable except for the Notifications, Registration, Advanced features.

The problem started before I could get the chance to disable the adaptable theme for the clean one to test out if there is the same problem.

However, Usman from here generated a test for me and I think the screen shot produced some javascript errors related to the adaptable theme and others.

If you could possibly have a look, I will send you by private message the link as I wouldn't like world having access while I am still working on it.

At first sight, there are some permissions problem. When the javascript libraries can't be loaded then moodle fails in the links. It could be Adaptable but bootstrapbase as well.

Please, verify the theme folder permissions: 755 for folders, 644 for files. Verify also you have all the files installed. You can see the Adaptable structure in the BitBucket repository.

Purge cache and test it again.

If still fails then i would need to see the site and probably the server.

Thank you Fernando for your help, really appreciated.

From yesterday up till this morning.....

It looks like the website is being stripped off CSS. When I loaded it towards the end of the day last night all I see was a bare-bone moodle structure without css.

Just like this......

Fragment of the bare-bare bone structure of Moodle I got when I load the site

I have installed a fresh copy uploaded by FTP. It was ok on first installation with the default clean theme but about half an hour later when I check to see again it came with the bare-bone moodle structure again.

I logged in an cleared the cache, the clean them worked and I installed a fresh copy of the adaptive theme, it seems to work for some minutes but the same problem surfaced again. Once log on, I can't get pass the default login page which is the notification. All the links become unclickable.

Default log on page with Adaptive theme with. All links disabled can't go past this page.
I think to just do away with the adaptive them but I can't get in to disable it. Is there a way I can disable the adaptive theme without getting to the theme setting?

Thank you.

Is changing the theme via the URL turned on?

Otherwise, still possible with a bit of skill to navigate to the theme selector and change it.

Or hosting should provide DB access? So change it there. Then FTP to your 'moodledata' folder and remove contents of the 'cache' folder.

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

You have some problem in your server when generate the cache file. Verify moodledata has applied 0777 in the permissions and it is located outside the public folder.

You can recover the theme using 'Clean' theme adding these lines to the config.php:

$CFG->theme = 'clean';
$CFG->themedesignermode = true;

Then, open moodle and verify is working well. Then you could switch to Adaptable.

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

Thank you Fernandes.

I did as suggested it did not work as the clean them links were also unclickable. Then I deleted the entire theme files and replaced with copy from a fresh moodle software. This seems to work as I was able to do all the configuration, link clicking without any problem. But when I do try to apply a different theme in place of the clean theme. I get redirected to the home page with clean theme unchanged. I tried this with different themes including adaptive which I freshly installed, I still get redirected to a clean theme homepage unchanged.

What am I doing wrong? Please help.

I am using your theme - thanks very much. I am having an issue though with the marketing blocks on the front page. I have configured it to have one live of three blocks and they all lay out OK until I add an htm link and then for some reason the three blocks break into two lines, the first line with two blocks and the second line with the third block.

I have played around with it quite a bit and figured out it is the addition of the link that cause the problem. But cannot figure out how to overcome this.

I even tried with he sample HTML you provide:

<div><img src="http://somewebsite.com/2.jpg" class="marketimage"></div>
<h4><a href="#">International Courses</a></h4>
<p>Some text below the link....</p>

You can purge cache from the command line:

And I would try to reinstall Adaptable using also the command line. Looks like some file is missed.

You can download latest version from Bitbucket using wget, then unzip the folder overwritten the files.

You can enable the debugger and the Designer Mode in config.php

$CFG->debug = 6143;
 

$CFG->debugdisplay=1;

You must add a <li> tags without <ul>. Then Adaptable will display the list as a ticker news.

Ok, I got it. When you make the "Header Navbar" sticky, the front page "ticker" disappears. when you unstick it the "Header Navbar" appears. It looks like they exclude each other sort of, I would like to have both. I like the sticky navbar, it moves along as you scroll and you don't have to scroll all the way up to navigate from your current page. I want the front page "ticker" because it blends into the page not very intrusive yet noticeable.

I still don't get why I am not seeing the alert though, possibly I will find out as I explore this wonderful theme.

Temporary (ugly but works!) css fix for ticker not showing when navbar header is sticky - bear in mind that if you remove the ticker or unstick the navbar, you will also need to remove the custom css.

/* fix ticker spacing and extra white space on home page*/

#ticker-wrap {

margin-top: 180px;

}

#page-site-index div.container.outercont {

padding-top: 20px !important;

}

#page-my-index div.container.outercont {

padding-top: 20px !important;

}

/*end fix*/

The my-index part is only needed if you have the ticker set to show on Dashboard.

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

If you hide the header and Navbar the theme is totally useless because users can't access the main menu items: Home, Dashboard, Events, ... and you couldn't login to the site directly.

So use this CSS style at your own risk:

#page-header-wrapper {
    display: none;
}

The Marketing blocks section is available in Site Administration > Appearance > Theme Selector > Adaptable > Marketing Blocks

You have some samples of code to be used in the marketing blocks in the README.txt included with the theme.

You have the different regions available in the footer but it would be really great if the region locations were absolute. Currently, if you do not have anything in region 2 or 3, content placed in region 4 will automatically shift left to region 2 position. Any chance of being able to get these fixed so that we can put content on the right side of the footer regardless of what other content is there?

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

Emma, this is the expected behaviour. You can select the layout: 1, 2, 3 or 4 positions. Depending the number of positions, Adaptable will fill the space. using 100, 50%, 33% or 25%.

But if you want to keep an empty block in the middle, try 3 blocks (4+4+4) and add empty content to block number 2. For example:

<p>&nbsp;>/p>

Then only block 1 and 3 will be displayed in the footer.

If so then the menu should be visible to the public in the top menu bar.

If you are talking about the Tool Menu, which is an Adaptable setting, then this is only visible when logged in and therefore not for the general public.

Ah...that is unusual, I had assumed the custommenu was the same as it is normally in Moodle, but sadly it is different in Adaptable, either that or there is an error in the adaptable/layout/includes/header.php where it is a little bit confusing reading the code there as the custommenu follows a section that is when logged in. It could be an over site on the coders part as there are lots of conditional statements that could conflict if the closing } is in the wrong place.

I think this could well be a BUG.

Adaptable do not display the moodle custom menu for guests. Only when the users are logged can see this menu.

In the Header Menu section you can add 'Top menus'. You have more control to display these menus to different groups of users including guests.

Adaptable includes a common option in all the modern moodle themes to add custom CSS and even JS.

Site administration > Appearance > Themes > Adaptable >Custom CSS & JS

I know Adaptable has hundred settings and it is difficult to know all of them. But if you take some minutes taking a look to the different sections will see what Adaptable can do and how.

We tried to add help to each setting and the sections are clearly organized and you also have the layout image that helps to understand the region names.

It is not possible for the moment to save the settings. I'm working on it because we have the same situation in development for our clients.

With PHPMyAdmin and your query (the same we use) is very easy to do it.

To export the settings:

Open PHPMyAdmin
Select the Database and the table in the left sidebar menu
Click the SQL tab in the top
Run the query
PHPMyAdmin will display the result
In the bottom of the screen, mark the 'Check All' checkbox
Click the 'Export' link
Change the settings, if needed, and press the 'Go' button

To import the settings:

Open PHPMyAdmin
Select the Database and the table in the left sidebar menu
Click the Import tab in the top
Add the SQL file from your computer and click Go button
Copy the Adaptable files to the /theme folder
Go to Site Administration > Appearance > Select Theme and select Adaptable

You should get a clone of the original theme

You have to know the location of the button and it becomes visible when you hover with the mouse. My instructors are not going to be happy, if they can't find the save changes button. Please see attachment. Any suggestions on how to make it visible is greatly appreciated. I am using Moodle 3.0.3 and Adaptable theme version 1.2.1 (2016031800).

Thank you!

Dana

Thanks for using Adaptable in your moodle site.

We are aware of the issue and working to fix it. There are no workarounds for the moment so I hope will be solved soon.

I cannot figure out why the This Course menu is not appearing...

I have it enabled in the settings. At first, I thought it might because I have a custom link showing in the navbar there (from theme settings) but I took it out and still no menu. I do have a tools menu - does that disable the This Course menu?

Is it specifically for certain users? I tried logging in as a student - that didn't work...just not sure what I am missing. Using latest version on 3.0.2.

Not sure what happened but my dev site was working and testing not. In dev I have latest version so probably a regression in some point of version 1.2.0

Upgrade the theme and purge cache. Also verify the Navbar Cache Time is set to 0. The Navbar has its own cache

Hello Emma,

I had a similar problem after the last update and the only way I would get the "This Course" option to display was to set the value of Navbar Cache Time to 0 in the Header Navbar section.

Perhaps you can see if this works for you.

Hi all

I am implementing this theme for our organisation and i have hit a block wall

I have some css knowledge now (thank you to Mary Evans postings )

I am trying to make the custom menu 'button' have a hover effect whenthe mouse moves over

I have tried put this into custom css rather than hack original coding

I have tried

#nav .nav > li > a:hover {
background-color: #ffffff; }

and

.nav .nav > li > a:hover {

Am i in the right direction?

Hello,

In the readme.txt within the theme, it give instructions on how to add font awesome icons. I have tried to add the code to add the icons with no success. If I use the CSS class, nothing shows up and if I use the unicode, I get a broken icon. It is my understanding that font icon awesome filter for Moodle is not necessary, especially when you have the fonts in a directory.(located in fonts folder of the theme). Am I missing something?

Example

Footer Blocks
----------------------------
Contact information

<i class="fa fa-building"></i> High St. 100<br>
<span style="margin-left: 20px;">123456 City</span><br><br>
<i class="fa fa-phone"></i> +12 (3)456 78 90<br>
<i class="fa fa-envelope"></i> info@mail.com<br>
<i class="fa fa-globe"></i> www.example.com

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

by Fernando Acedo - Wednesday, 6 April 2016, 5:17 AM

Using the readme.txt sample you don't need to use the filter. Adaptable applies directly the font using the CSS. The filter only simplifies the icon input in the editor.

Is FA displayed in other blocks or content? For example, enable display icons in Blocks Settings.

If not, can you verify the font-awesome files are loaded correctly? Verify the folder exists and the permissions.

Open the Source Code page and click the link indicated above.

This URL must open the Font Awesome CSS stylesheet. If you can't see the CSS content then you have a permissions issue in the /style folder.

if you can see the CSS content then the problem is located in the /fonts folder.

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

by Gareth J Barnard - Wednesday, 13 April 2016, 4:31 AM

Hi Fernando,

There is an issue in Moodle that I remember from many years back that you can't have a CSS file in the styles folder with two periods in the filename. This breaks things. So even though you are not serving that file via the cached CSS mechanism (and perhaps you're not anyway because you did not know this) then it could be an issue.

Therefore rename to 'font-awesome_min.css' and you'll find that things improve including using in config.php instead of manually including and potentially breaking $CFG->themedir installations too.

This method is inherited from BCU and I don't know any incidence related to it in all the sites using BCU or Adaptable.

Anyway, I will try to change it and add the FA CSS file to config.php and rename it.

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

Why do you want to use BS grid in the footer? Adptable is already using the BS grid to display the blocks in the footer and in the whole theme.

Please, review the Adaptable settings to find the answer of your questions. There are a section called 'Footer' where you can find all the settings applied in the footer.

You can add HTML and CSS to the blocks, see the readme.txt file included. And if you need custom CSS, add it to the 'Custom CSS and JS' section.

but i can not get them to sit side by side unless i use a table

i am using

<div class="row">
    <div class="col-md-6">

<div class="panel panel-default"><div class="panel-heading">Panel</div><div class="panel-body">..</div></div>
    </div>

Is there something i'm missing here?

All the moodle themes based in boostrapbase like Adaptable still use Bootstrap 2.

If you are trying to add Bootstrap 3 elements then will not work. And if you add the Bootstrap 3 library then the whole site will crash.

Sorry, I was testing the hover and forgot to post the code. Add this snippet of code in the Custom CSS section of Adaptable:

.navbar .nav > li > a:hover {
    background-color: #fff000 !important;
    color: #ffffff !important;
    text-decoration: none !important;
}

Change the colours to fit your site.

Notice the !important at end of each line. We need to overwrite all the previous styles with the custom css code.

That was a bug affecting Moodle 2.8 and perhaps other versions.

Go to the "Adaptable > Custom CSS & JS" settings page.

Paste in the following code and save:

.course-content ul li.section.hidden .sectionname, .course-content ul li.section.hidden .content > div, 
.course-content ul li.section.hidden .activity .activityinstance {

Hello. Thanks for the Theme. I believe I have the theme working perfectly well after the initial problem from first installation has been resolved. But now, when I tried to access the "Frontpage Slider" option of the theme for editing it gives me this error.... "Cannot read file. Either the file does not exist or there is a permission problem." The "more information" part of the error says says something about missing file from the "moodledata" rather than permission problem. If I have a missing file, I wouldn't know which. I had migrated the moodledata from my localhost installation from where everything works without any problem. The current permission on the moodledata directiory on a shared-hosting server i s "777". Could you kindly help resolve this problem. All the other options has no problem except this. I have installed a fresh "adaptive" theme just in case but the problem remains. Thanks Rafiat

The message is really clear. The files doesn't exists or can't be read.

By other hand, the path indicated is not valid.

Failed opening
'/home/***/public_html/***/theme/image/version.php'

Adaptable doesn't have a folder named 'image' and theme folder shouldn't include a folder named image. And I don't see the adaptable folder.

So I think you have messed some files and can't be readed by moodle.

Please, verify the installation paths and the folders permissions, not only moodledata.

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

by R Ali - Wednesday, 20 April 2016, 9:52 PM

Hello Fernando.

Thank you for your help

I have done as you advised but could still not get it work. As a last resort. I downloaded a fresh copy of moodle and re-installed, then I uninstall adaptable theme, purged all the cache and re-installed a fresh copy, starting all over again. All the error seems to be resolved by doing this but one.

Every now and then, the CSS breaks when I try to load a page and I will have to navigate from the url to "purge all cache" after this, the CSS comes together again nicely but soon, it will break again.

I read a post someone having similar problem (though they were developing a theme) and there was a link to the Using images in a theme. The syntax to include image in css is given as:
[[pix:theme|path/to/image/imagename]] and example as:

body {background-image:url([[pix:theme|gradient]]);}

I created a folder "image" in the "pix" directory of the adaptive theme and I have included two background images in the adaptive css option as follows:

.userhead{
background: url(http://***/moodle/theme/adaptable/pix/image/myimage1.png) no-repeat 1%;
}

div.loginbox{
background: url(http://***/moodle/theme/adaptable/pix/image/myimage2.jpg) no-repeat right;
}

The images show perfectly well.

but when I followed the above syntax as follows

.userhead{
background-image: url([[pix:theme|image/myimage1]])no-repeat 1%;
}

div.loginbox{
background-image: url([[pix:theme|image/myimage2]])no-repeat 1%;
}

The images did not show.

My point here is, possibly the way I have included the background image is the problem causing the CSS to break every now and then. But I can not seem to get the syntax right for the moodle recommended way in order for me to confirm either way.

If I can get some help in the right way to use the syntax if it is crucial to do so. Also help in diagnosing why the CSS keep breaking and how I can resolve it.

Thank you.

Delete the incorrectly named zip file you have installed - and you will possibly need to replace the previously existing files too.

GitHub/BitBucket zip files usually need to be renamed before they are used if they are downloaded direct from the repository, they have the branch and other info appended to the zip name - and you are always advised to use the stable version from the plugins repository for production use. The github/bitbucket master branch should generally only be used for testing/development and should ideally be installed by cloning (in github terms, as Im not fas amiliar with bitbucket) from the repository.

It's all well and good telling people not to use the Adaptable Master ZIP file as it can cause no end of problems, as we all well know, but you can't expect users who read this opening message at the top of this discussion. In fact when was the last time you read it? https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=326234#p1311757 As you will see it gives a direct link to that ZIP file and yet gives NO advice as to how to add it to your Moodle site leaving the unsuspecting user to upload said file to Moodle via the Moodle plugin instaler.

I can destroy Base on our Moodle by uploading a zip file theme in the wrong format. I have done it with three different themes at least, and it was not a theme problem since it worked when I got the naming correct. I have not messed up Clean, only Base.

I have described it a bit here: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=322976

Not sure if I should be posting my question as a response here or starting a new question thread (which would make a bit more sense as this thread is very long and cumbersome) but...since it says post here...

I've installed Adaptable and am enjoying experimenting with the many customization settings built into the theme.

My problem is, however, I cannot get course images to display...seemingly no matter what setting I tweak. I have uploaded a course image in the 'summary' area within the course settings, selected "Tiles w/overlay" for frontage course display settings toggled on an off:

Show course contacts

Show all course contacts

Show course contacts role

Show tiles course button

Display available courses

but no combination results in me being able to see the image. The image is a small jpeg. I just downloaded the theme yesterday from the plugins database....let's see...I'm running the most recent (as of two days ago) version of Moodle 3.

Probably forgetting some important detail(s)....?

Any help in pointing me in the direction of discovering what I'm missing will be much appreciated.

P.S. I tried uploading the same image to "Default course image" within the Frontpage courses setting in the theme and it then shows up for all courses. Of course, I don't want that, I want a unique image for each course...which it seems like I should be getting but...I'm doing something wrong.

Fernando,

Thanks again. Yes, I have the same thing.

UPDATE - Ok, this is strange...at least to me...I changed the file extension from jpeg to jpg and now the image appears. It seems odd because the jpeg extension displayed fine when I uploaded the image to the theme settings area as a default image. I'm guessing somewhere in the theme code (or Moodle core?) that jpeg is not recognized...?

For now, I'll simply use jpg instead of jpeg.

Emma, thanks for your kind words. Really appreciated.

The truth is that Adaptable has been very well received by the community, even better than expected.

Personally I installed more 20 sites using Adaptable and most of them because the client liked it and want to use it for its site.

We are working in more new features and improve also the existing thanks to the users feedback.

So stay tuned for news.

IMG Userpicture - Same Class but different sizes.

by Eric Viana - Wednesday, 13 April 2016, 9:23 PM

Hey guys,

I have a problem.
Using the area for add extra CSS I changed the size of the class userpicture to 100px X 100px and this works flawless to the user profile. But the same class is applied to the image used in the forums to identify the users but in a different size (20x20px) and the same image are stretched and loses all quality, blurring and pixelating. Where can I go to correct this problem changing the class name or, at least, turning off the pre-compression used in the forum userpicture? Can you guide me?

Re: IMG Userpicture - Same Class but different sizes.

by Fernando Acedo - Wednesday, 13 April 2016, 11:33 PM

You must find the classes around the user picture because they change depending the forum page.

I would change the size only in the profile page not in the whole site. But I don't understand what you mean you say :

I changed the size of the class userpicture to 100px X 100px and this works flawless to the user profile.

Adaptable is not displaying any user picture in the user profile. Where are you displaying the image?

Fernando images are displaying in 3 different areas. I´m sending a cut from this areas. All the 3 use the same class "userpicture". The 3 screen printed show my css tweak of class userpicture showing images 50x50px. In the profile area no problem, images are showing with good resolution, but in the forum and participants list the images are in a very poor resolution.

Re: IMG Userpicture - Same Class but different sizes.

by Fernando Acedo - Saturday, 16 April 2016, 12:11 AM

Since userpicture class is used in several parts of moodle you must add more selectors to fix each size depending the place is the image displayed.

For example, here in this topic:

.path-news .forumpost .row .left.picture img,
.path-mod-forum .forumpost .row .left.picture img {
    border: 5px solid #ffffff;
    height: 60px;
    padding: 1px;
    vertical-align: middle;
    width: 60px;
}

In this case, userpicture class is not used (it is used but not for the size).

Hi Eric,

Which version of the theme are you using?

There was an issue with forums previously showing the smaller profile image, this was nothing to do with the css but literally using Moodles smaller sized image which degraded when enlarged in forums. The current version of the theme uses a larger profile image displayed in css at the same size but is sharper due to being a larger image.

Re: Adaptable Theme Support : hide messages in header

by Ghislain Fabre - Thursday, 14 April 2016, 12:06 AM

Hi,

Thanks to the author and contributor of this theme, for having done this great work.

I would like to hide the "Messages" in the top header (to make moodle more epurate /KISS) and put it in the user menu.

I have searched in bigbucket but seems there is no answer about this.

For hidding it, i can do this in adaptable custom css :

.usermenu2.nav { display: none; }

But maybe there is a more clean way ? Do you know if yes ?

Also, maybe it can be a good idea to make the hide of "messages" possible in Header menu or Header ?

And in Header User possible to enable it ?

If some one think it's a good idea i can create a report in BitBucket.

Thanks for your attention,

Regards

Re: Adaptable Theme Support : hide messages in header

by Fernando Acedo - Thursday, 14 April 2016, 12:18 AM

Adaptable display the messages menu in the left top corner and this is hard coded because this is one of the special features.

So the answer is no, no option to disable the option except you hide it using CSS.

.usermenu2.nav { display: none; }

Keep in mind that is the only way to access the messages so you must provide other way like a block or a Tools menu.

Hello ,thank you for this awesome theme.

I have a couple of questions if you don't mind.

1)For some reason only 10 enrolled courses appear at my frontpage and if I want to review the rest of them I need to visit the dashboard. Same goes with the menu item my Courses. Only 10 courses appear. Am I missing something?Maximum number of courses is set to 200 at the Front page settings

2) There is no way I can actually add font awesome icons at the marketing spots. Actually I can't use them at all. I have added this line at the custom css at the Additional HTML <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.6.1/css/font-awesome.min.css"> but still no results. Am doing every single change at the HTML section

Thanks for using adaptable for your moodle peroject. I try to answer your questions:

As far I know there are no limits to display courses in the frontpage (logged or not). I need to verify this point because this is inherited from BCU.

Adaptable already includes Font Awesome. You do not need to add any CSS style for it.

Add the icons following the samples included in the adaptable README.txt

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

by Mary Evans - Monday, 18 April 2016, 6:15 AM

Hi.

Like Fernando said Adaptable already uses FontAwesome however the font file for that style in the Adaptable theme is of the wrong file type as Moodle do not allow .min.css. So you need to change it to just .css for it to work. The fact it is minified should not make any difference to the contents. Also that is assuming that the .min.css file is still there, as it may well have been changed.

You may also like to make sure that your Text Editor is set to allow <i></i> tags too.

Cheers

Mary

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

Moodle does allow minified files, just not CSS files with two periods in them, so you can change to '_min.css' so that you remember that it is the minified version.

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

No, only admins have access to the themes settings. This question was already discussed some days ago and in the case on Adaptable has not so much sense that a manager have access to the internal theme settings.

If you have only one, then it could be the Super Admin. If you have more than one, who add the News? Who add the slides?

Problem is i made them admins before but lets just say they broke alot of things so i had to restore from a back up

I'm happy for them to add to the ticker/slider only as they would use it for course announcements.

Well it was worth asking

Adaptable is already updated to FA 4.6 in the Bitbucket repository. If someone want to upgrade from there then can do it at his own risk. We hope to publish a new release soon.

And use the samples located in the README.txt. These samples are the same used in the demo site and all working well.

Re: Theme Content language translate

by Richard Oelmann - Tuesday, 19 April 2016, 2:45 PM

If any area allows html then the multilang filter should work. However you do need to ensure that it is enabled in your Site Admin > Plugins > filters area, as well as the translated content being in the correct spans

There are also several improvements to the multilang filter which you may find useful and easier to use, such as https://moodle.org/plugins/atto_multilang2

If a setting area only takes straight unformatted text, then it is unlikely any of the multilang options will work and that is the point at which the theme code comes into play and adapting what the setting area is able to accept, but that is only relevant, as I said, if the setting only accepts unformatted text.

@Jez or Fernando, This needs fixing in the php code and is something to do with the PARAM setting either that or the Admin needs to save the one in English then change Language and redo and write one in other language without multi language filter markers. Just type as normal but save after each language change. You will see that each Lang has its own setting.

At least that is how Gareth got it to work in Essential!

But then I may be wrong?

try it anyway.

I figured out the issue.

1. The Marketing blocks do not work with the font awesome filter - it would be nice if that could be fixed.

2. The TinyMCE editor (which is my default) strips out the <i class line.

I can get it to work with Atto Editor and <i class line - lot of work but I guess I don't need to update those too often...

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

It is really difficult to say which moodle editor is worse: TinyMCE or Atto. Depending what are you doing they could be your worse nightmare. Both have a few pros and many cons.

In this case, TinyMCE (which work really well in other scripts) strips the i tag while Atto keep it. So it is not a moodle setting. Is the editor who strips the code skipping the moodle security policy.

There are some issues open in the tracker but not movement so probably will be fixed in version 5 or 6

My advice is use an external editor and paste the code to Atto.

Atto is really bad when there are code errors. Otherwise is quite good.
