Hi,
I'm trying to change the page where the user is redirected when he is not enrolled into the course.
I can use the config.php theme to change the mydashboard to a mustache template that i like, for instance. But i can't see a way to do this with this page in particular.
It's possible to archieve this without appeal to dark magic?
Thanks!
We need to know more about the version of Moodle and also your theme, as all these things make a difference to the answer you need.
Redirect pages where easy to change in older versions of Moodle now all the fun has been taken away from us and so the redirect does whatever it is told to do by moodle.
What would you like it to do...wave a flag and say something funny?

Hi Mary!
Thanks for the answer!
Sorry, i've totaly forget to say what im using. D:
The version is 3.3 and i'm building a theme that is child of Boost theme.
So, i have this situation that i want to make changes into the page where the user enrol himself into a course or redirect this unnenrolled user to another page that will show the things that i want.
I want to make this because i need to show more information about the course to the user before he enroll himself. Another reason it's because we have a LOT of subscription methods into the course! So there's a lot of fields that arent relevants for the user to enrol, instead i'll put just one field where the user writes his subscription key.
Actualy, i've been able to change the page, but i've accomplished this using obscure things that i can regret later.
Basically, i know that "columns2.php" it's responsable to output the main content that renderers the enrolpage. So, in coluns2.mustache i have:
<section id="region-main" {{#hasblocks}}class="has-blocks"{{/hasblocks}}>
<div class="card card-block">
{{#hasregionmainsettingsmenu}}
<div class="region_main_settings_menu_proxy"></div>
{{/hasregionmainsettingsmenu}}
{{{ output.course_content_header }}}
{{{ output.main_content }}}
{{{ output.course_content_footer }}}
</div>
</section>
output.main_content - It's responsable to show the content of the enrolpage and everything else. So i did this in columns2.php:
if($PAGE->url->get_path() == '/enrol/index.php'){
echo $OUTPUT->render_from_template('theme_thoth/enrol', $templatecontext);
}else{
echo $OUTPUT->render_from_template('theme_thoth/columns2', $templatecontext);
}So, if i'm in /enrol/index.php url, then this will take enrol.mustache has template.
This didn't solve my situation, because in "enrol.mustache" it's necessary to use "output.main_content" or the page don't renders. So, i did this:
<section id="region-main" {{#hasblocks}}class="has-blocks"{{/hasblocks}}>
<div class="card card-block">
{{#hasregionmainsettingsmenu}}
<div class="region_main_settings_menu_proxy"></div>
{{/hasregionmainsettingsmenu}}
{{{ output.course_content_header }}}
<!-- {{{ output.main_content }}} -->
{{{ output.course_content_footer }}}
</div>
</section>
I wan't to know if there's a different solution for this. Because what i've done doesn't appeart to be the correct way...
Thanks and sorry if i'm wasn't clear or much objective!
Hi Melqui,
Have been able to figure out a workaround?
Hi Melqui,
I am so sorry for missing your reply to your request for help.
We used to do this in the older 2.5 themes, in the login page. It was considered a "Hack" then so nothing new. If it works for you then it's OK.
However, I am sure that with a little more thought a better solution may come to you. Think out of the box...an alternative. For example have you thought to use the Course summary to highlight the points you want the student to be aware of before they enrol.
