This is the flexibase theme for Moodle. It is a Bootstrap3 theme, but uses
flexbox to create the layouts, rather than the bootstrap grid.
This theme depends upon Bas Brands bootstrap theme for bootstrap3.
The aim of the theme is to provide an experimental format for making use of the
flexbox css layouts to provide greater options for administrators and to simplify
the layout code when considering rtl languages, editing on/off, use of side-bars
and docking as well as other factors which influence the layouts. The theme allows
administrators to choose layout structures for set page layout types (standard pre
and post, 2 pre, 2 post etc) from a settings page without the need to edit theme
files.
The theme also makes use of less compilation on the fly through its settings pages.
It has a range of colour and branding options which affect the less variables, but
also makes use of a 'CustomLess' setting in the same manner as many themes have a
'CustomCSS' (as flexibase also does).
IMPORTANT NOTE: Older versions of IE do not support any version of the flexbox
format.
- IE9 and older: no support - Will appear in theme as if on a small screen (mobile first layout)
- IE10: Legacy support, supported in theme - Should appear as designed
- IE11+: Full support
I hope you find the theme useful. Please submit any comments and feedback via the
moodle.org forums or any bugs via the github issues page

Yes, the prechecker coding style rules do not work well for the indentation in the theme layout files. After having this consulted with Eloy Lafuente (from the Moodle integration team), I have reported CONTRIB-5681. For now, please ignore all indentation related warnings/errors raised by the prechecker for your layout files.
I am going to approve your theme now, thanks for all your work on the updates.
For the next version, let me suggest to fix the usage of upper case letter in title strings (such as 'Main Header Logo' or 'Top Bar Logo'. The 'en' language pack shipped with the plugin should not use capitalised words in titles. It is a policy in Moodle UI that plugins should follow so they fit nicely into the Moodle UI.
Good luck with the maintenance and further development of the theme. You are cleared to land now. Welcome to the Plugins directory!
I'll take a look at those language strings over the weekend.
Just a tiny problem with the read more bouton.
I went in the flexibase settings and typed an url (http://myurl) in the slide link area but it doesn't work. Is it normal?
Thank you for your answer.
Corrected on github - will release in the plugins database as soon as I get opportunity
The fix is quite simple

I will update the version here as soon as I am able
v1.0.1 relates to Mdl2.7/2.8 (but will work on Mdl29 with Bas' older versions of the parent bootstrap theme)
v1.1.1 relates to Mdl2.9, but more specifically to Bas' updated theme_bootstrap and has that updated version as a dependency
