Aardvark
The Aardvark project started in 2008 after a focus group with students led the development of our somewhat basic and neglected installation of Moodle into a (at the time) modern and engaging platform. The idea was to drive student use by creating a colourful, MySpace-inspired, student intranet as the front-end, with the functionality of a VLE behind it. Pressure from those students would then ultimately drive adoption by tutors.
Over the years, Aardvark has been an exciting and arguably inspiring project, started at Newbury College, but benefiting from the contributions and expertise of many other developers. It was the first open-source Moodle theme to include a drop-down navigation menu, a concept that would eventually become a core element of Moodle theme engine, and at its peak was installed on over 5,000 Moodle installations around the world.
Development
of Aardvark slowed down a few years ago as many of its advantages were
adopted as features in the core theme engine of Moodle and a lack of
development time meant that I was no longer able to keep up with the
changes required to make the theme compatible with the latest releases.
Unfortunately I have had to make the decision to cease development of
Aardvark to focus on other commitments.
Aardvark has been an incredible project to work on, and I have learnt a huge amount about PHP and CSS along the way and I would like to thank everyone who has contacted me over the years with their kind comments. Special thanks to Mary L Evans, Patrick Malley and all of the other contributors and supporters who have been part of this journey.

Fatal error: Class 'core_useragent' not found in /homez.744/mysite/www/theme/aardvark/layout/popup.php on line 33
Any clue?
Thanks for the beautiful theme anyway.
I've tried firefox / chrome / chrome mobile / internet explorer 11. All give the same exact error.
To reproduce the error, this is what I do:
- edit a quiz
- when the list of questions appears, I pick any question and click on the magnifying glass icon, which is supposed to open a popup window with a preview of the question
- the error message pops up in a new window
(I've already deleted the theme cache)
Can I ask for a feature request?
Can you add in a social icon for issuu.com and wikipedia.
Cheers
I am testing your theme on moodle 2.6.2. How would I get all blocks to be on the right side of the screen? With it being a bootstrap theme I am not sure if I can just go into the config.php and change things. Thanks.
