  Hey there.
  
  I'm on the same site as Derek Chirnside above. We're looking to create a clone of the flexibase theme so two different parts of our organisation can have completely different custom CSS. I cloned the theme, renamed the directory, language file and did a replace of flexibase with our new name for the clones files (1698 occurrences over 92 files). However when trying to use the new clone, it seems to work, but will not load anything from the settings files. Any ideas what may be going on?
  
  Thanks in advance! Bob Gilmore

  There are several variations of the name that need changing (in the language strings, but they affect what is displayed on a few places).
  obviously flexibase is the main one, but make sure you have also changed Flexibase and one inconsistency that I will change in the main version as soon as I can, where the setting link is called FlexiBase. Other than that, I will have to take a look as I have not previously tried to clone or create a child for this theme, but I can;t see any reason why it wouldnt work as expected.

  Thanks for the response! I was doing a case insensitive find and replace, but tried again with the different case combinations. It's a weird problem. Everything seems to be working. All the default settings are there, but nothing is being used from either the custom CSS or from the branding.

  Hi Richard,
  
  In a previous post you wrote
  "so one of the things I'm working on is extracting things like the awesomebar (already done) and marketing spots and carousel and a few other things into a kind of plugin within a plugin - they can literally be copied and dropped into another theme and a few lines of code added to layout files, etc to 'include' the features and the new theme can have that 'plugin' added to it. "
  
  How can I more precisely achieve that for the awesome bar?
  
  Thanks in advance

  Hi Jean-Roch,
  If you go to the github link (source code link) above and check out the STABLE_30 branch you will find a plugins folder inside the theme which contains awesomebar (and others) along with full instructions to add it to your other themes.
  I have extracted that from the latest version of the theme because of complexity of the theme and code-checking etc and have said I will extract these plugins to a separate repository, but have not yet had chance to do that, so the STABLE_30 github branch is currently the place to get those features from.

  The latest upgrade to the bootstrap theme (https://moodle.org/plugins/theme_bootstrap) on August 2 for Moodle 3.1 seems to have broken your theme for us. Is this a known issue or is anyone else experiencing this? Any workarounds? Thanks!

  This is fixed on the gihub version, so you can download from there. I had hoped to push this onto the database by now but has been delayed for a variety of reasons, but will hope to do so in the very near future.

  The actual cause was a name change on a LESS folder in the bootstrap theme, so the fix is easy if you don't want to re-download the theme from github and can be found at https://github.com/roelmann/moodle-theme_flexibase/commit/bf6697de30f82cbb8d1fd5a27648758a8276473b
  Essentially, change L42 of less/flexibase.less from:
  @import "../../bootstrap/less/bootstrap3/bootstrap";
  to
  @import "../../bootstrap/less/bootstrap3-3-6/bootstrap";

  I spoke too soon: I edited the /mymoodlestuff/theme/flexibase/less/flexibase.less file on line 42 as above (which, yes, it was pointing to the wrong directory and making the change should point it correctly) but that did not fix the issue for us; does anything else need to be done? It seems like that's the only change in your github. Maybe it's caching something somewhere?

  Have you done a Purge All Caches? Site Admin > Development > Purge All Caches or http://yourmoodlesite/admin/purgecaches.php(often themes now don't need you to do that when changing settings, but this isn't a setting, its a code change, so you need to purge caches)

  Ah, brilliant - thank you so much again! Sorry for a moodle admin goof-up on my part. After purging caches that did the trick and the theme (definitely) works again! Thanks again for such speedy replies!
