I am please to say that there is a newly updated version of Afterburner available for Moodle 3.0 & Moodle 3.1 in the Themes' Plugin Database. HERE
Please let me know if there are any problems with it?
Thanks
Mary
Thank you Mary !
Thank you for helping those of us who like Afterburner. Will there be another Afterburner for Moodle 3.2, or is it safe to assume the current will work seamlessly with 3.2 ?
Hi,
I have Afterburner on Moodle 3.2 and seems to work OK. Of course you will first need to add the Base theme which you can download from the Plugins Database here...
https://moodle.org/plugins/pluginversions.php?plugin=theme_base
Once you install that you can install the Afterburner theme too.
If you have any problem please let me know so that I can fix them.
Cheers
Mary
Thank you very much, Mary.
You are very welcome Carlos.
Hi Mary,
i updatet moodle from Version 2.7 to 3.19. I use your theme afterburner. I updated it to the latest version 2016080900.
In the new moodle versions it is possible to quick access the Dashboard and other things like profile, grades, messanges and so on.
Quick access the Dashboard is available from the user menu top right of the screen once logged in:
https://docs.moodle.org/34/en/Dashboard
In your theme afterburner i missed this functionality. Is it possible to upgrade?
Thanks a lot

Hi it can be done, but I need to check where the Base theme adds it.
I'll take a look and add a link to the Moodle github page when I find it.
All you would need to do is copy the code into the Afterburner's layout/default.php file.
I'll get back to you as soon as possible with the link and further instructions.
Cheers
Mary
Here's the link...
https://github.com/moodle/moodle/blob/MOODLE_31_STABLE/theme/base/layout/general.php#L83
all you need now are the instructions.
Hopefully!

Here are the instructions!
In the default.php found in the Afterburner theme's layout directory.
Find the line of code highlighted in this link...
https://github.com/lazydaisy/moodle-theme_afterburner/blob/master/layout/default.php#L91-L93
Using Notepad or a Text Editor add the code from the Base theme which I posted in my earlier comment.
}
echo $OUTPUT-> user_menu();
if(!empty($PAGE->layout_options(['langmenu'])) {
Hope this helps?
Mary
Hi Mary,
thank you very much for helping me. I have followed your instructions. It worked!!
After adding the green colored code first I see the login twice.
So I delete the line highlighted in this link:
https://github.com/lazydaisy/moodle-theme_afterburner/blob/master/layout/default.php#L89
After that it's perfect.
Thanks a lot.
Malte
Cool...glad you got it to work.
Thanks for letting me know!

Hi Mary,
after updating Moodle to version 3.1.10 and Afterburner to version 2016080900 the titles of the course sections appear twice.
Please take a look at the screenshot.
Do you have any idea to fix this problem?
I´ll glad to hear from you!

Hi, sorry for not answering you earlier.
The duplicated topic headings was caused by a badly created change in Moodle and never got fixed for the older themes.
If I get time I will try and update the Base theme too as that should pass to any child theme

Hi Mary,
I updated the moodle to 3.4 but the issue is - afterburner theme is not working properly. It have some design issues like calendar in site home page is not working properly and also dashboard is not look like my original site. Another issue how to rename the dashboard because before update dashboard name is My home but now is changed to Dashboard. Please refer the screenshots.
Site home - Calendar issue
Dashboard - How to disable the lists like timeline, courses, sort by dates, etc.,
Unfortunately Afterburner has not been upgrade to work in Moodle 3.4. so there is no guarantee it would work.
I need to check it out.
If I can I will fix the problems.
Thanks for the reply Mary.
Hello
I am in a similar position - my Moodle 3.1 site using the Afterburner theme is being upgraded to use Moodle 3.4.
What sort of compatibility issues might I expect find with Afterburner in Moodle 3.4?
Thank you in advance for any tips you can offer!

You will need to add Base theme to Moodle 3.4 for it to work! becase Base theme was removed. But that said, there is a problem with the Dashboard page in Moodle 3.4 when using Afterburner, which I have not fixed...its complicated and I am not sure if it is worth fixing as Moodle is changing and so not very compatible with older themes like Afterburner.
You can try it our but it's not too bad ... just the dashboard page looks bad.
Hope this answers your questions?
Mary
Hi Mary
Thanks very much for your prompt and helpful reply. I am happy to report that the Afterburner theme in Moodle 3.4 is now working quite well.
Well that is with the exception of the Dashboard ... but that was to be expected
Finally, the site I work with is being moved to a new server soon and it will get a nice new theme to go with it.
Cheers.
