Guys, I'm here trying to see how this new moodle 3.2 theme feature Boost works. And I do not think I understood exactly how it works, or I have a problem.
When I set up to use the Boost Theme I should see something like this image
But by selecting the theme, I see it.
Please can someone help?
Hi,
You did not say which version of Moodle you are using as this is a requirement of this forum?
However, it looks like you have either not installed Moodle 3.2.1 correctly, because the Boost theme would be the default theme and work correctly from the start. Or you have loaded an old copy of the Boost theme to Moodle 3.1.
Can you explain what have you done to your site when installing and testing Boost?
Thanks
Mary
Which theme was in place before you 'selected' the Boost theme?
Did you add SCSS to the Boost settings page? If you did then that is more than likely the problem, as a missing semi-colon ; is enough to break the theme!
Cheers
Mary
Thanks for help.
It might be that it is nothing to do with Boost theme, but more to do with Adaptable!
Have you tried updating Adaptable for 3.2?
Well it is updated with the latest version available in Moodle.org Plugins
I'm believing the problem might be on the server. The only theme installed was The Adaptable. The question is ... where can I look to find out if the problem is on the server?
Thank you very much for your support!
News! I uninstalled the Adaptable and the Boost Theme Work!
In another installation I uninstalled the Essentials and the Boost Theme Work!
Is it because it's happening like this?
Thanks for the support!
That is not true...I NEVER use Theme Designer Mode and Boost theme works OK.
When you first upgraded
Also which theme were you using at that time?o
Can you also tell me the actual version of that theme?
You might try clearing your cache - sometimes that will cause issues like this.
I cleared the theme cache, but the error continues
Have you made any site customizations that might have carried over through the upgrade perhaps? Perhaps check permissions on your theme folders?
Without customization, an installation and an upgrade, it happened from 3.1 to 3.2.
The theme folder was with 755 permission changed to 777 but the same problem continues. Even in the Boost folder.
Could not it be something involving my server? The problem is that I did not imagine what it could be. =(
Obrigado.
Hi,
This reminds me this discussion: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=344118
Yes...I remember that now but it has been fixed In MDL-57319 so you need to upgrade to Moodle 3.2.1 which I thought you had already!
Can you upgrade and let me know how you get on?
Thanks
Mary
Thanks, it's a shame I can not change this php data at the moment because my server is shared. As I had said the problem may actually be on the server.
Thanks
And on my shared server, PHP max_execution_time is 30
Is there no way to override that setting?
For Example:
Just a thought...
I've got the same situation and the same problem as Plínio. I took the same steps and changed the max_execution_time to 300 as well. The problem is still there!
I have the same Boost-theme problem on Moodle 3.3 under Ubuntu. The Boost-theme doesn't build up properly.
Luckily I'm able to switch back to More-theme
I was having similar problem with More theme strange as it may seem, but there is a problem is some servers that are set up to use xdebug using ZEND.
You could check to see if your SERVER is showing any ERRORS in the LOGS for PHP or APACHE?

Hello Mary
While Boost looks like this with endless spinning wheels
the Apache and PHP log doesn't contain any errors:

We're experiencing the same problem on a Debian Linux as well.

Debian Linux is one of the Servers that was reported as being a victim of these oddities.
This link discusses the problems some of us have experienced but with the more theme, not Boost. But looks like Boost is just as vunerable in certain servers.
https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=355139#p1433886
And the Moodle Tracker MDL-59188 is where it was reported.
Hope this helps?
Mary
Thank you Mary for the help. This morning we found the problem. The Boost rendering trouble was obviously caused by the Offline Quiz Plugin version 3.1.1 running on our server. The problem disappeared after an upgrade to Offline Quiz version 3.2.2.
Regards, Frank
My problem has been resolved, after migrating to a dedicated server.
With all properties installed!
