Afterburner Theme - Dashboard - 3 column issue

Just updated to Moodle 3.1.7, Afterburner theme 2016080900.  I have no experience with CSS.  The "Dashboard" page does not display correctly.  All three columns overlap onto the first column.  The  rest of the site displays correctly in 3 columns.  Any settings I can adjust without going into CSS?  Thank you!Afterburner - Dashboard view

Hi,

I need to check this out as I have a feeling that you may need to update something.

Sorry for the delay in answering this as I have only just seen it.

It could be that you need to update to the latest Afterburner theme?

Cheers

Mary

Hi Pam,

I have just had a thought, Afterburner does not use Bootstrap CSS, and since your main site uses what appears to be a Bootstrap type layout and styling, I wonder if the page you are refering to has the same html layout, in which case you may need to add some of that CSS into the Afterburner theme for it to look correct?  There is a section in Site Administration > Appearance > Themes > Afterburner settings, where you can add extra CSS.

If I am wrong then it may still be related to the way inwhich the text has been added to the page.  For example if copying a Microsoft Word documnet , then this can break Moodle pages in much the same way your site looks from your screenshot.

Is there any chanse I can enter your Moodle site as a guest?

Thanks

Mary

Hi Pam,

There is a problem but not easy to fathom.

The easiest way is to change the way the page is being styled.

It looks like the blocks have been moved to the left whereas the layout is set to have them on the right.

If you want them on the left then you need to make a small change to

Afterburner / config.php

FROM THIS
    // My dashboard page.
    'mydashboard' => array(
        'file' => 'default.php',
        'regions' => array('side-post'),
        'defaultregion' => 'side-post',
        'options' => array('langmenu' => true),
    ),
    // My public page.
    'mypublic' => array(
        'file' => 'default.php',
        'regions' => array('side-pre'),
        'defaultregion' => 'side-pre',
    ),
TO THIS
    // My dashboard page.
    'mydashboard' => array(
        'file' => 'default.php',
        'regions' => array('side-pre', 'side-post'),
        'defaultregion' => 'side-pre',
        'options' => array('langmenu' => true),
    ),
    // My public page.
    'mypublic' => array(
        'file' => 'default.php',
        'regions' => array('side-pre', 'side-post'),
        'defaultregion' => 'side-pre',
    ),

After makeing these changes you will need to Clear Theme  caches

Site Administration > Appearance > Themes > Theme selector

=> The Clear theme caches button is at the top of the theme selector page.

Hope that helps?

Cool...so pleased you got it to work again as it should, Pam.

I think the problem is that Afterburner, like many other older themes, are getting too old as Moodle developes and changes.

If you have anymore problems please let me know then I can keep updating the Afterburner theme.

Many thanks

Mary

Is there a downloadable Afterburner theme for Moodle 3.3? I'm trying to download it and modify the styling.
