Snap
Snap is a Moodle theme that makes online learning an enjoyable and intuitive experience for learners and educators.
Snap's user-friendly design removes barriers to online learning, enabling you to create the modern, engaging experience user's expect on the web today. Snap's intuitive layout is optimised for online learning, focusing on the things that matter - your learning activities and content.
Personal menu
Snap’s easy to use navigation gives users an elegant way to perform frequent tasks. All your courses, deadlines, messages and feedback are always one click or tap away to save you time.
Courses with personality
Every course in Snap let's teachers add a cover image to give it a unique personality.
Courses in Snap allow you create individual topics, so learners understand where their focus should be without being confused or overwhelmed by lots of links and options.
Each topic shows students their progress, which is updated inline with ajax as you progress through the course.
Every activity in Snap shows students the due date, if they have submitted, and if feedback is available - without having to open the activity.
Teachers are shown how many users have submitted an activity, and if they need to grade any submissions.
Teacher's workflows for creating and structuring content in their courses are also optimised to save time. With no need to turn editing on, inline resource/activity deleting, the ability to move multiple resources/activities at once, inline topic creation and many other ways to help teachers give learners the best online learning experience.
Working seamlessly across every device - from desktop to mobile, Snap’s responsive Twitter Bootstrap based framework provides a consistent, professional experience for learning whenever and wherever you want to learn.

Under the hood:
Like most other Moodle Themes today Snap runs on Bootstrap 4, jQuery, Sass, and inherits from the Boost theme.

Snap is continuously updated, with each major version released 6 months after the Moodle release. If you'd like to test our work in progress it's always available on github!

I use your SNAP theme and I can not upload SCORM files, HTML, ... But when you click on it; it loads and nothing happens.
Can you help me please ?
I am disappointed, thank you in advance.

About other questions. Yes, we'll be releasing a version for 3.6 as part of Open LMs 3.6 release in June/July
Thanks all for your feedback!
One feature I'd love to see (and this isn't a specific gripe about Snap, but it feels more prominent in Snap) is to have a choice of where activity navigation buttons take me as a student. E.g. have the option within an activity to either go back to the section I was on, or go back to the next activity. Snap's visuals encourage better use of the section pages, and having to use the breadcrumb to get back to that easy to use layout is pretty much my only remaining gripe with Snap - although as I said, I know this is really a Moodle issue.
Many thanks for all your work!

Tenemos problemas con la mensajería usando theme snap. No permite escribir, enviar o recibir ningún mensaje. Se queda en blanco.
Ya probamos con otros temas gráficos y permiten enviar mensajes, la dificultad esta directamente con snap. ¿como podemos solucionar esta incidencia?
moodle: 3.6
I am using moodle 3.7 and I have a problem. I upload a video in section 1 as welcome. but if I click on the next section, the video keeps playing. Is there a way to pause it when I change section?
Been trying out the latest Snap 3.8--and you guys have really done a FANTASTIC job!
Snap 3.8 now has LAZY LOADING of course sections AND pages--this is AWESOME!!! Large courses now load quickly, and page resources only load if a student clicks on it, also dramatically speeding up load times while reducing server load for high traffic situations (e.g right before final exams!).
Thank you for listening to your user base and making Snap still one of the most innovative UX for both teachers and students!
Cheers!
The way Snap works is that it loads all of the sections so that the search feature works--thatis why the video keeps playing if you navigate away. Usually you wouldn't start a video and then go somewhere else. You might be able to accomplish what you want using the Frederic Never's brilliant Multi-Embed filter--you could put up your video on Google Drive / YouTube, and then the multi-embed filter will only lazy load the video once a student scrolls by it. When they click away it should then stop since it's embedded from an external site.
Yanibel: I think you might have the wrong version of Snap installed--I had that happen once but once I installed the right version and flushed out the theme cache on my site, everything went back to normal. If you can upgrade to 3.8, I highly recommend you try the latest version with the fantastic lazy load feature, especially as teachers build larger and more sophisticated courses to support remote learners during the current COVID-19 pandemic.
In the Folder feature, when editing is activated, it is not possible to view or edit the uploaded files. Only the window remains blank.
Does anyone have a similar problem? Did you solve it?
https://github.com/blackboard-open-source/moodle-theme_snap/issues/182 has the details. We are getting a coding error when the Pages link is selected but not when the more button is selected. How do we resolve this quickly?
Thanks!
I opened an issue here, but it has not gotten a response from the team. https://github.com/open-lms-open-source/moodle-theme_snap/issues/179
I'm currently using a temporary workaround:
Go to /theme/snap/templates/core and rename filemanager_page_generallayout.mustache to filemanager_page_generallayout.mustache.old or any other name. This would allow moodle to fallback to the boost file manager.
