Hi,
I have question regarding theme ( I think)
how to add register button in the front page before log in
I found this thread, where Mary answered, but I don't know where to put that line of code
<a href="<?php echo $CFG->wwwroot'?>/login/signup.php"><button>Register</button></a>
adding it to SA>Apperance>Theme settings>CSS didn't work
I am using Moodle 3.2
I am testing many themes so I want where to add register button regardless of theme (it is either essential, adaptable, or boost)
thanks
That code has to go in a php file so you'd need to add it in your specific theme.
You could simply add a link anywhere on your front page like this:
<a href="/login/signup.php">Register</a>
You could add it to an HTML block, or just a link in the topic section. Either way, it will stay on the front page regardless of which theme you use.
You could also add it to the custom menu, but that's a slight different format:
Register|/login/signup.php
See https://docs.moodle.org/32/en/Theme_settings#Custom_menu_items for more info.
thanks for your help, I appreciate it .
however, I want the button to be in front page next to the login button
I also tried your solution, but the HTML block keep appearing after login , and I don't want that
thanks again
Using Adaptable you have several approach to add a register button in the frontpage.
You can use a marketing block, a moodle block, add a top menu or hack the code.
If you want a button beside the login button then the only way is hacking the code to add the button in the header.
This is the worst approach but is the only.
We do not expect to add the register button in the header because would be only useful for self-registration sites which is the less used authentication method. So it is not a priority.
Hi MQ
You can convert the PHP part of the code to your Moodle site's URL
Also if you are using a Bootstrap based theme you can use this HTML instead:
<a class="btn btn-primary" href="http://yoursite.com/login/signup.php"><i class="fa fa-sign-in"> Register</i></a>
so that it looks like this...
thank you so much
but I still don't know where to add it (which php file)
I tried the HTML block suggestion but it keeps appearing in front page after login , and if user click on it, it gives error that you can't create account while you log in
"Confirm: You cannot create a new account because you are already logged in as Admin User."
before login, the block won't show
also, I want the register button to be next to the log in button in the header (in adaptable theme for example)
how to do that
thanks again
try this...
<a id="signup-link" class="btn btn-primary" href="http://yoursite.com/login/signup.php"><i class="fa fa-sign-in"> Register</i></a>
Then add this to the Custom CSS box in Adaptable settings in ..
Administration > Site Administration > Themes > Adaptable > General settings or one of the many listed for Adaptable.
#signup-link { display: none;}
.notloggedin #signup-link { display: block;}
Then save the settings.
Actually there is nothing stopping you adding this to the Frontpage summary block
then move it to top right of the page.
Hope this helps?
Mary
