Hello moodlers! 

  • Check that the question has not been asked before.  

I have searched the forums for this problem and didn't find it.

  • Tell us which Moodle version you are currently using.

    Moodle 4.1 (Build: 20221128)

  • Tell us the name and version of the theme you are using.

I'm using boost,  version 2022112800

I have many courses on my moodle site ( > 20).  I would like to modify the front page so the courses do not present as a linear list but rather a 3 column grid. I believe this will make scanning through the list of available courses easier and less cognitively taxing. 

I know how to do this using bootstrap, but I am at a loss which files to modify in moodle. I've watched 2 or 3 videos, and poked through .../boost/layout, and .../boost/templates but to no avail. I have also looked through the documentation, but again, I'm at a loss.  I've seen some professional themes that organize course list into grids, but the professional themes come with much more 'bloat' than what I want - I like the simplicity of boost. 

I would be grateful if someone could help me. Thank you!

You could try a workaround by using the filtercodes plugin https://moodle.org/plugins/filter_filtercodes

Hello! Could you tell us how you managed to display the courses on the home page in columns (grids)?


I installed the 'FilterCodes' plugin, however, I still haven't been able to find the configuration for this.
