Changing dashboard layout in child theme

Changing dashboard layout in child theme

Hello

I am creating a child theme of Boost in Moodle 3.9 but cannot override the dashboard layout. I have successfully overridden the navbar and footer but my new dashboard file doesn't seem to be applied.

I have created:

  • layout/mydashboard.php and added
    echo $OUTPUT->render_from_template('theme_pwa/mydashboard', $templatecontext);

  • templates/mydashboard.mustache
  • scss/mydashboard.scss

The scss is applying but no changes to the structure. Even if I change class names in the file they are not showing - I don't think it is using my files. Is there anywhere else I need to change this?

Best wishes

Jo

Should work, don't know what you've done wrong, need to see all of the code.... Hang on 'mydashboard.php'?  Have you changed the theme config.php file $THEME->layouts array to have something like:

    // My dashboard page.
    'mydashboard' => array(
        'file' => 'mydashboard.php',

?
