Themes

Looks nice!

In IE7 header has some problem and looking at source code there is

.generalbox {
border-top: 1px solid e1d2bd;
margin: 15px auto;
}

(should be #e1d2bd)

Firefox 2 has no problems (as far as I could see)

Autumn can now be found in the Themes repository.

Hi Patrick,
I like your theme and have it installed on all my three moodles. Thanks for your good job. There is one thing I'd like to mention: as soon as I want to look at my users' list the font_size is obviously too big, the information scrolls to the right.
Is there anything I can do to change that?

I have installed 1.7.2+ and I use firefox.

Thanks,
Harald

Harald -

I hope that you don't mind that I answer your question here. This is a much better-suited place for discussions than the the Themes Repository

I guess that I didn't see this as a problem on my 17" MacBook Pro - I simply widened the browser window! Looking at it now, I guess a width of 1150px is a little much to be necessary to avoid the break!

For a smaller font-size in all tables, include the following code at the end of your styles_color.css file:

.generaltable {
font-size:0.8em;
}

This will get the max-width necessary to prevent breaks down to about 1000px (still not that great).

Rather than going any smaller than that, here's another idea: getting rid of the blocks on the "Browse a list of users" page will afford you around 250px. Being without the admin block on this page (or any other admin page that the table breaks your screen resolution) won't harm your navigation that much (it will be like working with Moodle pre-1.7!).

Or, you could get a bigger monitor!

Hi!
Love the theme, but had a weird glitch: tried to move the blocks, but the arrows disappear 2 seconds later after an unexpected screen redraw. On Mac using latest firefox. Any ideas why?
Thanks for a cool theme!

A really nice theme which appears to also work on v1.6.X

Is it possible to mod the code so it doesn't display the image on the front page?

I would like to disable it until I can get a suitable image of our school.

Also there was no link to the footer file when I deployed the theme...should I just add that myself?

Many thanks

Stephen

We've been trying out the Autumn theme, and so far we're really enjoying it -- it's a very clean, very refined looking theme. That said, we have run into a few formatting issues as we've been digging deeper into the theme and Moodle 1.8.

We're running Moodle 1.8.0 upgraded from Moodle 1.7.1. All of the formatting issues I mention below exist within Firefox 2.0.x on the Mac and Windows XP, Safari 2.0.4 on the Mac and Internet Explorer 6/7 on Windows. I haven't delved deeply into the CSS on any of these yet, but I will tomorrow and post some suggested fixes of my own.

Thanks again for creating this great theme -- we think it's got a lot of potential!

#1: Drop Navigation is Bulleted on Forum, Glossary, Deep-Tier pages

The drop navigation, along with the directional arrow and statistics icon, appear as a bulleted list on certain deeper tier pages, such as the Forum and Glossary. This can be clunky, particularly with larger lists, and I think what's supposed to happen is that these list elements should appear side-by-side, rather than on top of one another.

Example: Forum

Example: Glossary

#2: "Edit Course" Form Fields Misaligned

When you open a course for editing, the field names are aligned to the right, and the fields themselves are usually bumped to the next line, appearing directly under the field name. This runs counter to the convention in other themes, and I think it makes the course more difficult to edit.

Example: Edit Course

#3: "Add Blocks" Block Formatting on Home Page

The formatting for the "Add Block" block on the home page is off; the text "Add a Block" appears underneath its graphical bullet.

Example: Add Blocks

#4: Course Lists Do Not Differentiate between Active/Hidden courses

When looking at a course list, there is no different in coloring between active and hidden courses; the normal convention is for hidden courses to be grayed out. In my example, the courses ITS101.01, ITS101.02 & 1TS101.04 are all "hidden" courses.

Example: ITS Courses

Hey

I've tried to use the autumn theme with version 1.6.5 and it works mostly fine, except for a message I get at the bottom of every page:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function debugging() in C:\moodle\moodle\theme\autumn\footer.html on line 26

What can I do to fix that?

Cheers

Gabi

Hi,
Not sure if this was addressed, but our campus is using autumn, and is primarily still on IE6 - though I encourage all to use firefox.

Nevertheless, the default seems to be that the breadcrumbs in IE6 appear almost invisible because they are a dark orange or something instead of white, like in Firefox.

What's the fix to this?
(Also, we're on Moodlerooms, so I don't think I can do the fix a theme code myself, is there an update or something available?

thanks,
clark

Hi there,

Moodlerooms just updated Autumn (I'm on 1.8.2+ with them) to fix the bug with open/closed courses not being differentiated.
