Re: Adaptable Theme Support

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.

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.

"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.

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

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

by Richard Oelmann - Sunday, February 7, 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, January 26, 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!

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

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, January 26, 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, January 26, 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, January 26, 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, January 26, 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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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, January 20, 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, January 21, 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

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.

Re: Adaptable Theme Support

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,

nice work on the theme!

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).

best regards

Seb

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.

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?

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

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?

Thanks Fernando,

finally I was able to hide the two areas. Anyway, I think that the marketing blocks should not appear when the "Enable marketing blocks" parameter is set to no, even if the Marketing Block Layout Builder define some Marketing Block Rows.

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.
