Beware: Wall of text imminent.
Moodle: 3.3 (Build: 20170515)
Adaptable: 1.4 (Build: 2017053000)
To put the following in context, I decided against using the Adaptable theme's homepage as the landing page for our sister organisation. I've setup a homepage using Wordpress and a specific theme that's the same as our parent organisation to keep the look and feel consistent before navigating to Moodle itself.
That being said, I still want to make use of Moodle's homepage as I feel that it's still the best way to easily display all
the available courses that potential learners might be interested in, and would be easier for existing learners to go
and browse what other courses they might also want to enroll in.
Basically changing the use of the homepage to a course catalog.
So I want to change this...
to this...
I just need confirmation whether the following changes I made to the renderers.php on the development site are good and won't break something else before implementing it on the production site.
Home button changes; fa icon and text:
renderers.php, line 1628
$branchtitle = get_string('courses');
$branchlabel = '<i class="fa fa-th"></i>
'.$branchtitle;
Tool button change; fa icon:
renderers.php, line 1845
$class = "<i class='fa fa-list'></i><span
class='menutitle'>";
It's worth noting that the tools menu would be used for all the navigation links that are in the navigation block, though it wouldn't be dynamic as the navigation block but it would help. Is it possible to implement a hierarchy-list (not sure what to call it. Being able to have 1 item expand into more items, i.e: Course Options >> Create Course, View Participants, etc) in the tools menu by editing the code?
I'd like to see these features in a future release of Adaptable, obviously they wouldn't be of priority unless more people would like to see it.
Thank you for taking the time to read this!
