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.

  • Front page Marketing Blocks. You can display Up to 60 custom blocks with different layout.
  • Layout Builders! You can now define a custom layout to add blocks using drag and drop for:
    • Front Page
    • Footer
    • Dashboard
    • Course Page
  • Fully Customisable:
    • Fonts
    • Colours
    • Block styles (including icons)
    • Buttons (including radius)
  • Choice of two sliders on home page with custom colours
  • News / Announcements Ticker on Home / Dashboard
  • Multiple front page course styles
  • Extensive custom menus (can be targeted to different users based on custom profile field)
  • "My Courses" list can be organised to put older courses in sub menu item
  • Dismissible Bootstrap Alerts
    • Display site-wide notices using different Bootstrap styles
    • Allow users to dismiss alerts once read (persistent between page loads / login)
    • Allow re-use of alerts (display again even if user has dismissed) buy updating a "key" field
  • Additional layout settings for width, slider width, padding of various elements
  • Social icons or Search box in header (admin can choose between the two)
  • Activities and Resources Adaptable icon pack improved 
  • Support for Social Wall Course Format (thanks to Chris Kenniburg for help on this)
  • Support for Grid Course Format (thanks to Gareth J Barnard for help on this)
  • Mobile settings
  • Option to add login form in header on front page
  • Favicon uploader
  • Background image uploader
  • Activities status
  • Additional block regions for Adaptable News Slider and other plugins you may wish to add
  • Tabs on Dashboard and Course Pages for additional block regions
  • Choice of two or three row header

 

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 am looking at new themes for my moodle site and liked the look of this theme. I do however need to know if I can use H5P, MS forms and YouTube clips in this theme. It will also be useful to know if there is a student progress tracker as it did not show in the video I watched which gave an overview of the theme.

    I also need to know, if this theme is compatible with Moodle 3.11.2? I need something that is stable and is not going to cause me or my students problems ie fetures that stop working. It needs to be stable.

    Dear Ruan,

    The theme is compatible with M3.11. Its currently at 'Release candidate' stability stage. The video is old. So, download it, test it, see if it does what you want / if there are any bugs. Report the bugs, wait for the bugs to be fixed / or if no bugs, then let me know and I'll mark the theme for M3.11 as stable -> in at least as much as it can be.

    Hello.
    it's not working at 100% with moodle 4.0. The activities description is not show to students either teacher. Only if it clic en "Show description in course page". So, it's required version 4.0. See you in next upgrade.

    Anyone thinking about upgrading to Adaptable for 4.0 needs to wait, still some bugs such as teachers can't read responses for CHOICE or FEEDBACK activities. We are looking at other themes.

    I just wanted to let you know that I have this installed on the latest Moodle, and changing the Site / Course title font (fonttitlename) does not work. It doesn't matter what font I choose, but it doesn't change the font.
