I have updated my OSX Blue theme for Moodle 1.3
Sounds like to me that you have placed the > somewhere in the code and that is why it is showing up.
In order to help you maybe you could post your header.html file here so I can try and spot this run away >. If the login is not working you will need to adjust the following line in the header.html, <form action="../login/index.php" method="post" name="login" id="login">
where it says ../login/index.php change this to the path to your login folder, since moodle is on the root of my web server I just point to the login folder that is up one level from the themes folder.
This is what I used as the code for the login button. It didn't redirect me either, probably a path difference in installation, but this should work because it looks at the specific configuration for the machine.
<form action="<?php echo "$CFG->wwwroot/login/index.php"?>" method="post" name="login" id="login">

Not sure I tried doing this same trick and could not get it to fly.
<form action="<?php echo "$CFG->wwwroot/login/index.php"?>" method="post" name="login" id="login">
Here is what I came up with that worked for me.
<form action="../login/index.php" method="post" name="login" id="login">
<form action="<?php echo "$CFG->wwwroot/login/index.php"?>" method="post" name="login" id="login">

Very nice theme indeed.
What I'm missing is the language menu on the home page? I've been doodling (moodling?) around a bit trying to insert it (cheating from other themes' headers) but my knowledge of PHP is next to nothing and I haven't been succesful yet.
Could you show me the light?
Thanks for making a very nice theme available. I changed the logo and it looks very nice. Two questions (I have limited experience in this). On the Courses page the icons are missing that show no enrollment key is needed and no guests are allowed. Also, on the same page the logout button in the upper right hand corner generates an error. I don't know if I messed up something when changing the logo.
Neither of these are serious problems. I've attached a screenshot.

looks like you are missing spacer.gif in the folder
/moodle/theme/OSXblue/pix/spacer.gif
Download the image from here and unzip it into your /moodle/theme/OSXblue/pix/ folder.
Let me know if this does it for you.
For the logout edit header.html in the OSXblue them folder.
Find the lines. Just do a search for Logout in your editor to find it fast.
?>
<span style="font-size: 12px;">Logged in as: <?php echo $USER->username; ?><br />(<a href="/login/logout.php">Logout</a>)</span>
<?
Change the "/login/logout.php" to
"http://samfisher.us/moodle/login/logout.php"
So when your done the whole line should read.
?>
<span style="font-size: 12px;">Logged in as: <?php echo $USER->username; ?><br />(<a href="http://samfisher.us/moodle/login/logout.php">Logout</a>)</span>

Hi Floyd,
I had the same problems as Sam initially. Your recommendations resolved those problems. However, I also had a problem logging in from the HomePage. I also got an erorr with that. I needed to "hard code" in the address as you indicated in the logout problem above to get it to work.
Now another problem. Take a look at the image below. You will see some of the icons are missing. How can I resolve this problem?
Nice theme.
Thanks in advance.

Looks like you are missing some images. You have installed mods on your site, what you need to do is copy the mod images to the theme folder.
Here is one of your missing files /moodle/theme/OSXblue/pix/mod/questionnaire/icon.gif
So you need to go into the mod folder for the questionnaire and copy the folder with the icon.gif to the OSXblue/pix/ folder. Make sure you only copy the folder and the icon.gif you do not need to copy all the other files that are in the mod folder. I find it easyer to just create the folder then copy over the icon.gif file for the mod.
Hope this helps.
I like your theme. However links to words from the glossary are not highlighted in any way. Links work okay, but are only visible when hovering the cursor over it (turning from black to red and being underlined).
I've tried changing the value of $THEME->highlight in config.php but apparently that's not what it takes to change the background of a linked word. Even changing the values of a:link in styles.php didn't do the trick.
Should I make other changes somewhere else to get this effect?

No, I didn't, as the hover effect works as it should: when pointing at a linked word it changes colour and gets underlined.
The problem is that the linked words are not recognized as such in a text, because they have no extra characteristic distinguishing them from ordinary text (font colour, background colour, text-decoration feature). In these forums e.g. linked words have a different background colour. That's what I'm looking for, because now links are simply not obvious.
Exploring the standard theme I found the declaration $THEME->autolink in config.php, which is missing in your theme's config.php. I was hopeful, because the explanation stated "to color auto-generated links (eg glossary)". I added this missing line to the OSX's config.php, checked that styles.php contains lines using it (a.autolink etc) and still no result. In short, I'm still puzzled.

Update: it seems to work in the end.
As stated before, I added the autolink line to config.php and that must have made the difference. Although at first tries there was no visible result, a bit later it suddenly worked as expected. Probably due to cached files not being refreshed yet.
Consider me a happy man again.

I dont know why I removed that, must have been an oversite or soemthing.
WP I am going to update the download with all the changes and a readme for those who use this theme.
All you need to do is edit config.php in the theme folder and add this line
$THEME->autolink = "#DDDDDD"; // To color auto-generated links (eg glossary)
Add it right under the
$THEME->hidden = "#AAAAAA"; // To color things that are hidden
line.
I am going to update like I said and upload the theme to the server.
Thanks for all the bug tracking folks.

Hi Floyd and all
Thanks for this theme, it looks great. I installed it and it work fine except that in the weekly layout there is no white background for each week like in the topical layout. I tried to match them in styles.php but it didnt work. Then I tried to delete my temp files (in IE) and it works just one time and then it got back as it was. I think the problem is with my computer. I tried several time and same thing happened is there a way I can go over this problem?
Second: how can I remove the login stuff form the header?
Third: I think web.gif is missing.
Again thanks for this very nice theme

I just updated the theme again and took out the login in the upper right since we have blocks now that do this for us on the main page. Here is the address
http://goohio.com/moodle/
Oh and web.gif is in there.

Nice theme, Floyd. We're using it, with some of our own tweaking.

I think the icon for wiki was missing, but that didn't take long to fix.
Thanks!

The easy way of doing this is to compare the header.html
with one of the standard themes, you should be able to see what all I took out.
Then you can modify the theme by adding in the code needed for the lang menu.
I will look over the code and see what I did when I get time, right now I am very busy, trying to get my house ready for winter. I will see what I can do, but in the mean time take a look at the code.
Thanks.
