Hi All,
This is a reminder that we are moving forward with the theme changes for Moodle 3.7 as described above.
What is the change?
- Themes based on Bootstrap version 2 (including bootstrapbase, Clean and More) will be deprecated and removed from core.
- A new ‘Classic’ theme, based on Bootstrap 4, will be added to core, which retains the classic navigation block and three column layout.
What should I do next?
If your site uses a custom theme based on bootstrapbase (or any of its child themes), it is highly recommended that you start the process of moving to the default Boost or Classic theme, or build another customised theme based on Bootstrap 4.
To assist you with making a new custom theme or updating your existing theme please see the Moodle developer Themes documentation page, and specifically:
- Moving your theme to use Boost as a parent theme
- Creating a theme based on Boost
- Creating a theme based on Classic
Important timelines
- Moodle 3.7 release is scheduled for May 2019.
- Moodle 3.6 is the last release with support for themes based on Bootstrap 2. Security support for Moodle 3.6 ends in May 2020.
- Moodle 3.5 is the last LTS release with support for themes based on Bootstrap 2. Security support for Moodle 3.5 ends in May 2021.
