How do I adapt Coventry Tiles in Adaptable

Hi All,


I'm trying to adapt the front page course tiles in the latest adaptable and moodle 3.5.


  1. Below is a screenshot, basically i'd like to be able for the students to click where the black arrow. Currently they have to click on the course title. How do I add a href or equivalent for this part?
  2.  I'd also like to know how to make the orange box come up when the student hovers over the picture, at the moment you have to hover over the title

Any help would be very much appreciated

You must modify the renderer to add the href to the whole tile.

The same applies to the color change. It is located in the same course tiles renderer.

Can I ask how I would add in the link? I've tried adjusting the code within the renderer but im a bit stumped.

The course tiles are created from line 100.

You must review the code and modify the link for the whole tile. The render is created using the moodle html_writer. DO NOT USE HTML code directly.
