Hi,
I'm using Moodle 3.0.2, and trying to install Snap from GitHub https://github.com/moodlerooms/moodle-theme_snap
I notice it says it's Snap for 2.9, but I did see it mentioned on the forum that others have it install on 3.0 (https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=322913&parent=1296719)
My problem is that it's basically stuck on validation (see screenshot below). I tried yesterday, and again today and I'd appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Susan
Don't use the ZIP files from GitHub with the 'Install from ZIP' method, they do not have the correct structure that the ones on Moodle.org plugins DB have. There is a mechanism that fixes this when themes are released on Moodle.org. Instead, extract the files and install manually or use the latest from Moodle.org if its there.
Thanks, Gareth. I appreciate the response and I'll try to install manually.

After the spate of recent posts around this kind of issue, does the Install from Zip page need a bit more info/guidance - or does the code need a better error trapping to catch these issues and provide an appropriate message on a failure caused by this kind of issue?
Which would be the better solution (or both) to add as a tracker issue? Thoughts?
It might be an idea to get David Mudrak views on this.
Susan, were you able to solve the problem ?
See Gareth's reply above
Richard, thanks for your reply. While setting up my local machine, I used both the approach(ZIP file and manual option). I was able to install the theme by manually copying the content to Theme folder. (I cloned the folder from git and renamed ti to snap, than I moved this folder to moodle>>theme.) However, when I applied the theme, it was not applied correctly. The whole Moodle site is displayed as if there is no CSS applied. Just ugly HTML everywhere.
What version of Moodle are you using?
Have you ensured that all the folders and files are readable (check the permissions)?
Have you run through the Notifications page on your site to ensure the theme is properly installed?
I have had Snap working on both 3.0 and 3.1 - there maybe some areas that it needs tidying up with as it hasn't been adapted for Moodle3 as far as I can see, but those do not break the theme the way your screenshot shows.
I am using Moodle 3.0 on Windows platform.
I followed https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=317725 this link and solved the problem by installing Bitnami Moodle App.
Glad you got it sorted
