Required version of Moodle

This version works with Moodle version 2015042400.00 release 2.9beta+ (Build: 20150424) and above within the 2.9 branch until the next release.

Please ensure that your hardware and software complies with 'Requirements' in 'Installing Moodle' on 'docs.moodle.org/29/en/Installing_Moodle'.

  3. Make a backup of your old 'shoelace' folder in '/theme/' and then delete the folder.

  3. In '/theme/' remove the folder 'shoelace'.
  4. Put Moodle out of Maintenance Mode.

Reporting Issues

Before reporting an issue, please ensure that you are running the latest version for your release of Moodle. It is essential that you are operating the required version of Moodle as stated at the top - this is because the theme relies on core functionality that is out of its control.

I operate a policy that I will fix all genuine issues for free. Improvements are at my discretion. I am happy to make bespoke customisations / improvements for a negotiated fee.

When reporting an issue you can post in the theme's forum on Moodle.org (currently 'moodle.org/mod/forum/view.php?id=46') or contact me direct (details at the bottom).

It is essential that you provide as much information as possible, the critical information being the contents of the format's version.php file. Other version information such as specific Moodle version, theme name and version also helps. A screen shot can be really useful in visualising the issue along with any files you consider to be relevant.

Blocks use the warning background and border scheme so that they do not dominate the page. 5. Tidied up form buttons on screen sizes less than 480px.

29th June 2013 Version 2.5.2. 1. Updated to changes implemented by MDL-39824 and proposed by MDL-40065 but in a way that they are local to Shoelace and therefore should not require an update to core M2.5. 2.

Updated 'general.php' layout file from new 'Clean' theme that was renamed from 'Simple'. Appears to have fixed logo not showing issue 3. Changed 'config.php' to no longer exclude settings and navigation sheets. Excluding them means that the naviagation block does not render correctly. 4. Adapted the css such that there is now a clean white background whilst retaining the sandy colour for the header and other elements such as tables. 5. Mary Evans now on board as a maintainer and co-developer cười. 6. Please perform a 'Purge all caches' under 'Home -> Site administration -> Development -> Purge all caches' when upgrading.
