Moodle plugins directory: Styles

Hi Pau,

thanks for your positive feedback!

Well, not everything has to be present in Core - that's what plugins are there for. We plan to maintain this plugin in the long run, so feel free to just rely on us

Alex, I just posted here: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=323307 and you were recommended.
Does your plugin work for 3.0??

-Derek

Hi Derek,

due to our local release schedule (see the plugin's readme file for more about that), there haven't been any tests for 3.0 yet. Please feel free to give the plugin a try and report back any problems with 3.0 - we will then try to fix them ahead of schedule.

Thanks,
Alex

Alex, thanks.
We have set up a dev server, and installed your plugin. Since I have not used it I am unsure 100% of how it is meant to go.

But: I copied a few of the styles listed in the settings page, added the button to the tool bar.

So far it seems to work well, and it is nice. Now I just wish I had good design skills.

Regards, Derek

Thank your for your plugin. A very good point to help trainers to integrate content in Moodle.

Hi,

I think we have a bug with Moodle 3.0.2 and "Build: 2016010100". I describe the problem here : https://github.com/moodleuulm/moodle-atto_styles/issues/4
In summary and on Moodle 3.0.2, I can not use "inline" and class with words separated by a blank / a space.

No one else is experiencing this bug?

Thank to fix this bug. It works fine with your last update. If I can make a suggestion, I think we can improve usability of the list of styles.
The possibility to organize Atto menu with 2 levels would be a pleasure. Here is an exemple : Level 1 (for example "title"), level 2 (for example "title H1", "title H2", "title H2").

- Title Style
-- Title H1
-- Title H2
-- Title H3

I never see that with Atto so I don't know if it's possible...

Thanks again for this plugin who help us to improve design of our courses.

Regards.

Clement, can you please recreate this feature request on https://github.com/moodleuulm/moodle-atto_styles/issues so we can discuss there?

And please try to answer my questions when creating the ticket:
* What is your goal with the 2 levels, do you really create that much styles that you get lost in the list of styles? You are free to name the styles however you want, so you already can group the list by using prefix strings as style titles which will then be alphabetically sorted. For example:
Box blue
Box green
Paragraph blinking
Paragraph small
Title big
Title medium
Title small

* Do you really intend to add H1, H2, H3 to the list of styles? The purpose if the plugin is _not_ to replace the default templates containing titles and paragraphs as it does not create semantic HTML, but create spans and divs.

Thanks,
Alex

Great plugin!
Just trying things out with bootstrap classes in our theme (a clone of More).
Are we able to *combine* bootstrap classes with this? What I want to be able to do is to provide an alert along with a cross to close the alert i.e. using type="button", class="close" data-dismiss="alert" as seen here http://getbootstrap.com/2.3.2/components.html#alerts

Hi Nick,

well, the atto_styles plugin is able to add 2 or more classes if you ask it to do so. Just add the classes, separates by spaces, to the "classes" attribute of the configuration on /admin/settings.php?section=atto_styles_settings.

The question if combining two bootstrap classes will produce a decent result is another thing. Atto_styles will just assist you in adding these classes to your text, but you have to test yourself if the two classes in combination will produce the result you want. If you can't produce the result you want just with bootstrap classes, you will have to create a custom style with CSS and add the CSS to your theme. Then again, atto_style will assist you to apply this custom CSS style / class to your text.

I hope this helps...

Thanks,
Alex

A great feature for this plugin would be to expand the "Type" feature to include other HTML tag types such as h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, and paragraph.

Hi Benjamin,

well, these tag types are already covered by the core plugin atto_title. The goal of atto_styles is to be able to define own CSS classes and assign them to text blocks or inline text.

From a end users' perspective, you may be right. End users just want to style their text and don't want to think about implementation or HTML code details. However, including these tags would basically mean to duplicate code. I will think about it, but I can't promise anything yet.

Thanks,
Alex

Thanks

thanks for sharing

Hello, can you tell us if the plugin will support version 3.6 of Moodle in a near future ?
