Create Custom Template for the Profile Page

Create Custom Template for the Profile Page

First of all, sorry for my English. I'm not good at all.

I'm learning to create my own themes for Moodle. Using community themes as a reference, I learned to create my own templates for the main elements. However, I'm having trouble creating a template for the Profile Page.

Unfortunately, I didn't find any community theme that made its own profile page for me to use as a reference.

Can anybody help me?

I just need to know which folders and files to create in my theme and what imports I have to do.

I thank the collaboration of all.

The profile page is basically a set of links in boxes (categories), so there isn't a single mustache template to override.
There are two things you can do:
  1. Define which blocks appear on the page. Like, the dashboard page, the profile page has block regions that can be defined at the system level, so if you have a block that contains the output you need you can assign that to everyone on your site. Go to: Site administration -> Appearance -> Default profile page.
  2. Add your own navigation. You can write your own plugin, or add it to your theme, that has the function "theme_mytheme_myprofile_navigation" that returns a navigation tree.
    Do a search in the code base (search for "myprofile_navigation") for examples of other plugins that extend this function. e.g. core_badges_myprofile_navigation. This function goes in your plugin's lib.php file.
