Adaptable is a highly customisable responsive two column theme with an abundance of features. The concept behind adaptable is to have a common theme developed and tested by a community of users which can be branded and configured according to each organisations needs. The freedom to brand and customise whilst sharing the burden of testing and development.

In addition many fields (menus, news items, alerts and help links) can be targeted using custom profile fields, thus it is possible to present different users with different navigation items and notices.
It is also possible for individual users to customise where they want top menu navigation to appear (disable, home pages only, site wide) using custom profile fields.
Adaptable has a lot of settings and may seem daunting at first, our advice is to simply install with the default settings and play with it afterwards.
With a little time you should be able to set up an attractive Moodle site with a high degree of individuality without without knowing any CSS.

I'm struggling with making change of the Course title size in the Course Overview block. It is a place where user will see the list of courses when he will click Dashboard.
I tried to make changes in the CSS file called block.css in style folder of the theme folder.
.block_course_overview .course_title h4 .title {
font-size: 200%;
}
But it doesnt work.
Please help if you can.
Thank you!

Fatal error: Call to undefined function render_mycourses() in /var/www/clients/client1/web4/web/theme/adaptable/renderers.php on line 2847
This only happens when I activate "show registered courses" but it's something I like to have for people who log in. I've deactivated it by now but any help would be appreciated.
I had no problems with previous versions. I have Adaptable 1.3.3 and Moodle 3.1.5+ (Build: 20170421)
Exception - Call to undefined function mb_strimwidth()
I had the same problem when I used the plugin installer that comes with Moodle 3.3+. The Theme selector was a blank white page. I uninstalled the adaptable pluggin and then did I manual install from a cpanel. I changed the permissions to 755/644 and the theme selector started working.
I like this topic with BSU, but in the last issue there is one problem.
In the version of Adaptable 1.4 (2017053000) for moodle 3,3, only the PREVIOUS SESSION works in the navigation from the topic to the topic, and NEXT SESSION does not appear at all.
