Hello again, after a few problems i have finished the 2 themes, I would like to thanks all the people that support me and all the ones that encourage me to keep doing this work.

Enjoy the themes, just change the textos.txt to your own title page in the flash movie, please send me and email if you use the theme and put a smile on my face.

Thanks

A good start!  Unfortunately I could never package this with Moodle as it's not under the GPL and there are a number of things I would want to change. Will you consider a version under the GPL license?   mixed

(Please don't start any more new discussions about these themes ... just continue in one of the existing six. Thanks.)

Hi!  If you want to do this you would need to attach a copy of the GPL with your copyright info on it, so that you allow people to distribute it, modify it etc.  You'd also have to include source code for the Flash file (.fla) under the same conditions.

Some of the things I would want to see fixed (or would change myself) to make it a general purpose theme would be:
  • Instead of the textos.txt file, the text is passed to the applet as a parameter so that it can automatically use the site name as defined in the Moodle settings.  eg "nahuel.swf?text=$sitename" and possibly also other heading texts on each page.
  • Make the buttons more visible and less like the text-entry spaces.
  • Fix the alignment of graphics in the header when used with bigger fonts.
  • Make the Moodle logo bigger and make it link to moodle.org.

I understand, I would like to help on this but you have me lost when pasing the parameter in the applet, I offer my help, all my files and if you are willing to instruct me to correct the alignment problem.

For the buttons I did what i can to make it different colors but did not change when tested sad  .

Where you want me to send the fla, psd, files?

Great, Juan, just email them to me.  I can also give you CVS access to maintain the themes within the Moodle tree, just email me your sourceforge username.  See the CVS docs for details about this.

Great news!

But how do I download these themes from SourceForge?

I can find them, but I can only download each of the many files individually--not cool!

Is there a .zip file or .tar file I can download?

Thanks Tim and WP1, got it!

Boy, who says that the weakness of open source software is support? I ask for support and I get it immediately and on a Sunday? I don't think I would have obtained this quick and wonderful assistance had I been using a product from Micro$oft.

What I find really strange is that I'm not able to download this file from the forum. I think it happened to me before. I've been downloading files all day without any problem, but when I try to donload this one I cannot open it. Oh well, the important thing is that I have it. Thanks again!

Speaking of Microsoft... I don't know if you use Mozilla Firefox, but it is a great browser.   I'm not sure if your downloads are failing with IE, but if so, you should consider this other great tool...

Tom,

I use nothing but Firefox, you are preaching to the converted here big grin.
I hope Bill Gates or any of his supporters does not see this interaction, though, because right after reading your message it occurred to me to try and download
the Flash based themes with IE (I haven't uninstalled it from my computer because sometimes it becomes necessary) to see if I also had a problem.
Well, I hate to say this, because I'm definitely a supporter of the Mozilla initiative, but I downloaded the file without any problems with IE.

I've tried again with Firefox without success. The file does seem to be downloaded, but when I try to open the zip archive, I get the message "Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive".

This doesn't mean that the source of the problem is Firefox, because obviously many of you are able to download attachments from the forums without any problems with this browser. But I must have something in my configuration (I cannot really figure out where) that makes the combination of Firefox and files attached to forums a bad one (I have no problems downloading files outside Moodle).  I've had other strange problems with Firefox in Moodle that I'm unable to explain, like the fact that in my Moodle site I cannot use the winking smilie in the Moodle HTML editor.

Anyway, in spite of my problems, the advice is good and I keep on giving it myself wink In the moodle.org site, the winking smiley obviously works, so it is clearly not a problem with Firefox in general, but I do have a problem with MY Firefox or with some other part of the software installed in my computer. Maybe it is time for that horrendous reformat and reinstall sad.

By the way, Rene, cool site! Perhaps you could explain what you did to adjust it. It looks even better than the original.

Hi Juan:

Great themes!  I was wondering if you know how I could display French accents in the textos.txt title.  When I try to insert a French character it comes out either as a mini-square or as a blank.  I want to display "Français langue seconde" but the " ç " will not display!

Muchas gracias para toda tu tema y tu ayuda!

You can see my website at (I am trying and probably will use your theme):

À bientôt!

Your Flash Themes is great, I download and use it at  http://elearning.bangkaew.com 
Since my site is for  Thai Bangkaew Dog, would you mind if I change the flash movie to a dog-like one. any suggestion ?
And as you can see from my site, the font color of  links(blue) are shaded out by the background color(gray). How can I change it to be more clearly displayed ?
and when I change the text-size in the brownser, your graphics seem to disalign, and don't look great. How can I fix the text-size or what should be done.?

I adjusted your Nahuel_Green theme a little bit (fonts & colors) and I'm using it on my site now ( http://taocom.info/ecampus ). For now it's only in Dutch, I hope to find the time someday to make it multi language.
Thanks for this wonderful job, Juan! knipoog

Hi Juan,

wonderful themes. I'm trying to use textos.txt to put my own site name in Spanish but it produces strange results since I have to use special characters. You know, this habit of Spanish using accented charecters.

Do you know what kind of coding must be used to make the SWF accept accented characters?

Thanks,

Juan Lara.

Hi all,

I'm interested in making a Flash theme sometime in the not too distant future. I was impressed with this Flash component :

http://jamiep.org/tree/tree.swf

I think we could base both a course view and side block menu on this component. It is a little heavy (54 KB) but once it is download the movie that contains it will be cached and the same component could be used for both the course view and the menu.

This component requires at least Flash Player 6.0.79. I think any theme or course view with Flash movies embedded in it should also provide a HTML alternative.

Hi Juan:

We've a problem with calendar in Nahuel_Green.

When you pass over a signed day and it pops up information on that day's events, the background is transparent and the events titles are too small. It's impossible to read anything there.

Would you kindly tell us how can we correct this?

Muchísimas gracias,
Juan Miguel

problemas para cambiar la fecha

by daniel --- -
 Hola Juan,
 
 En primer lugar felicitarte por el skin porque es muy bueno. En segundo lugar tengo un problema para cambiar la fecha en el formato español, es decir, yo he hecho una función llamada "Fecha" que incluyo en el fichero "header.html" y que cuando creo un nuevo curso o doy de alta un nuevo profesor me sale el siguiente error:

 "Fatal error: Cannot redeclare fecha() (previously declared in /usr/share/moodle/theme/Skin_3_N/header.html:141) in /usr/share/moodle/theme/Skin_3_N/header.html on line 136"

 
El problema radica en que yo no entiendo muy bien el funcionamiento de las llamadas a header.html que se producen.¿Tienes algún How To o algo parecido que explique la estructura de llamadas entre los ficheros que componen el skin?

                                 Muchas Gracias. Saludos.
