Moodle App Customization for MoodleCloud Free course

Hello all...

Very new to MoodleCloud... but ABSOLUTELY LOVE WHAT WE CAN DO WITH IT! smile

We've been able to customize logos, colors, font sizes, etc. via CSS on the Desktop site.  But after much searching and research, we can't seem to figure out how to customize the css for the app side of things. 

I know there's a field under Mobile App > Mobile Appearance for a custmoized css file.  Not exactly sure where the file should be stored or if there's a template file that can be used to plug and play the styles we would like to change. 

Any/all help would be welcome!  Thanks much!  -Todd

Hi Todd,

we usually recommend the file to be stored in the same server as the Moodle site to have everything in the same place. In the case of Moodle cloud, you can use any server or service that allows you to publish public files. 

For example, in one of our testing sites we use a gist in GitHub, so the URL is something like:

https://gist.githubusercontent.com/user/.../moodlemobileapp.css

I think you should be able to use some services like Dropbox or Google Drive as long as the file is public and you provide the download link in there. Please notice there shouldn't be any "intermediary" page when opening the link, it should be a direct link to the file.

In 2016 I did a presentation about customizing styles in the MoodleMoot US, here are the slides:

Hopefully they will help you smile

Kind regards,

Dani
