Hi, after 3 attempts of creating new themes (3) i have not yet get the theme to work 100% , there is a few problems when the script does not use the full heather.. I need help from the coders to improve this tiny little problem..
example of the last theme intigrating flash header is available to preview
also check the other post here on this Theme Forum to see the other themes.
Please any one interested in helping me this bit it would be very apreciated.
Juan
let me explain, when using the header.html in there you see the code ($heading) to load the theme images to be use, one for the front page and the other if the navigation variable is present, load the diferent theme or should I said print the header of every page.. those two bits work 100% .
...the last bit is the problem see...
<?php } else if ($heading) { // If no navigation, but a heading, then print a line ?>
<hr size="1" noshade="noshade" />
<?php } ?>
<!-- END OF HEADER -->
when using this last part of the code load the header but only prints the <body> will not print the normal code just the body tag
<body bgcolor="#A2C0C9" leftmargin="0" topmargin="0" marginwidth="0" marginheight="0" bgcolor="#739fc4">
!missing the openning of the table representing the green color in the footer.html if this bit is not present, the design does not display correctly if the table is not openning in the header!
<!-- END OF HEADER -->
<!-- from here on goes the print from moodle -->
<br />
<table align="center" class="generalbox" border="0" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td bgcolor="#FFBBBB" class="generalboxcontent">Sorry, guests are not allowed to post</td></tr>
</table><p align="center"><font size="3"><b><a href="Continuehttp://www.lajotadj.com/course/view.php?id=2">Continue</a></b></font></p>
<!-- START OF FOOTER --><!-- from here print the footer for the 3 if $heading variable in the header.html-->
</td>
</tr>
<tr> <td></td></tr>
<tr> <td></td></tr>
<tr> <td></td></tr>
</table></body></html>
Looks very nice, only two questions from a user point of view:
greetings, Ger
about that, must be a reason and a solution in your PC becouse the whole theme is no more than 40kb including the flash wich is only 20kb, it would take just few seconds to load, and once is in your [temp} stays in there until you delete the files manually from there or automatically using a cleaner. some of the php in moodle are larger than 50kb and most of them will load or require another inside each code, normally we are looking pages
<?PHP // $Id: index.php,v 1.104 2004/04/07 13:07:38 moodler Exp $
// index.php - the front page.
require_once("config.php");
require_once("course/lib.php");
require_once("mod/resource/lib.php");
require_once("mod/forum/lib.php");
you end up with more than 100kb wich take 20second to load using a 56kb modern ONLY if you have a clean line max speed will be 52kbps overage is 42kbps and lets not forget the traffic conditions of your isp... it could be a number of reason but not the 30+ kb of the theme.

I refresh a page at every visit. A typical Moodle page loads in 5-6 seconds from my home, yours doubles this:
As a teacher, not a programmer, I was just wondering what this means for your server with many visitors. Seems no problem I think..
Your effort could help Moodle to look more serious for some people that means: "there is something fancy moving on the screen.." and your moves look nice.
As a user I try to press the four yellow buttons..
Thank for the feedback I will take your considerations, anyways is really good that you explore the theme completely... I hope that those little yellow elements on the interface where not a matter of a disapoitment... je je but I wil rethink when creating a new one and get rid of those elements on the screen.
Cheers Juan
I have been trying really hard to get your attencion , sending just 2 emails ( I do not want to be a pest) and few post but nothing, I know you are a very busy person and I hope not to take much time of you, but since you know better this magnificent software (thanks mate), you probably can help me. Please please read this forum! my question is here. I need help
Good on ya!
Juan
This is what happens in the last bit of the if statment in the header.html, and yes i have try that already but prints twace the header when using that table in that part of the code..
<?php } else if ($heading) { // If no navigation, but a heading, then print a line ?>
<hr size="1" noshade="noshade" />
<?php } ?>
<!-- END OF HEADER -->
as you can see in there that is the problem when las if statment is present.
can i create an if statment at footer.html or the header.html and if is not too much asking, how?
my php knowledge is limitted but willing to spend nights trying!
thanks for your quick repply!
juan
did not work! thanks i'll keep trying diffe.. things.
I apreciated your support thanks..
will not bother you for this no more.
Juan
Juan,
Many people are excited by what you are doing with this great theme, I count myself as one of your fans, But, PLEASE do not ask that Martin become involved in your project right now. Too many other things are far more important to the Moodle community, like the pending release of 1.3 beta. When you have worked out the bugs on this new theme you will certainly know a lot more about Moodle and be a better Moodle programmer for the effort.
Keep us posted and thanks for your contribution,
Bryan
That was a very academic way to tell me (you know what)... yes, I know and understand. Do not worry.
Thanks for the advice..
Juan, Your doing great work, if you share your source code it will help you more then just asking for help. Myself I would need to install your theme on my test server and play with the code to get it right. I think if you where to submit your code here you would get more help. And as John has said Martin will get back with you, and I would not worry if I was you about asking for help just maybe dont be so specific as asking just one person. Thanks for the contrib.
it already here for download...
I know how to fix it now... I will as soon i finish the last one Nahuel_Green
