Moodle plugins directory: Campus

Hi Saad,

I see. Not a bug because of $CFG->themedir.

Cheers,

Gareth

Gareth,

Sorry, I couldnt get your comment.

Sorry for bothering you too much, i ve just spend so much time on it , it on my dreams can you please advice me, if there is a way i can make the less of child theme work without changing anything in parent theme. Just dont want the updates to break the site.

Hi Saad,

Please look at how settings.php works in regards to the implications of $CFG->themedir. I don't think at the moment you can make a child theme work without changing the parent theme unless I make changes to support thereof. This may happen in the future.

Kind regards,

Gareth

Thanks Gareth! For your support and this amazing theme.

Though i couldnt exact get what aspect of childtheme are you linking with themedir as i havent inherited settings.php. Anyways nevermind.
Ill read again about it and see to it.

Hi Saad,

Its not about settings.php precisely but what it does with $CFG->themedir / how it copes with it, hint hint.

Kind regards,

Gareth

Greetings David & Gareth,
Campus really is a great theme. We've done some testing and it's something we're considering as we upgrade to Moodle 3.2 this summer. We're wondering if you've had conversations about supporting docked blocks. I've scanned the comments here and don't see any mention of it. It's a feature our faculty like a lot.
Thanks for the great work,
Ryan

Hi Ryan,

Docking is something that we don't want on Campus, however I'd be happy to provide a modified version of the theme for a fee. I think it would take about 2 hours to half a day of my time.

Kind regards,

Gareth

Hi Gareth (and Ryan)
I use this theme on various Moodles with colleges I work with. As far as I can see it is the only one to provide category sub-themes which is a brilliant feature. I would certainly be happy to pay to see an updated version of this theme to include docking. I would also like to see if there was a simple way to offer alternative colours for the various symbols. Gareth, are you talking here about producing a version of theme that would be available to everyone as a standard theme? This would be my preferred option as it would allow others to benefit. Ryan, would you or anyone else be open to sharing the costs?
Ken

Hi Ken,

Campus does not provide category sub-themes. There are only category headers within the same theme. Docking solution is currently under investigation. What do you mean by alternative colours for symbols please?

Gareth

Hi there Gareth,

Any chance we'll be seeing a 3.3 compatible version of Campus in the future? We're running the theme in our 3.3 staging server, and it's 98% compatible, but there are still a few niggling little issues. However, I'm not sure if it's because of the disparity between the 3.1 theme and the 3.3 server.

Thanks!

Hi Paul,

Yes there is a chance.

Kind regards,

Gareth

Hi Paul,

just change the height of your images used in the header. Make sure combined they equal max width of the theme and have the same height. Reducing the height will of both will do the trick.

Kind regards
David

Hi Gareth
Thanks for replying and sorry for my slow response to your post, I have been away for a while. I realise that category variation is only limited to changing the header so not actually a "sub-theme" but that is really useful in the contexts where I work, and as far as I can see Campus is the only theme that offers this feature.
When I say colours for the symbols, I mean the fixed symbols such as the dividing ">" in the breadcrumbs or the "?" in a circle which all seem to be a light purple colour. I cannot see a simple way to change these.
Ken

Hi Ken,

There is no setting for the breadcrumb divider and the icons '?' in a circle have the 'iconcolour' and 'iconcoloursetting' settings.
