Moodle plugins directory: Eguru

Hello everyone, I am trying to hyperlink the round icons of the marketing spots. Basically, I would like to create 2-4 pages (About us, Programmes, Working with us etc) and when the user clicks on the round icon, it would be great if they would get redirected to the respective Moodle page. Any suggestions on how to do this? Thanks a lot!

Lina, I have done this on several versions of the eGuru theme. You need to replace this line of code, three times in the settings.php file in the parent folder:

$setting = new admin_setting_configtextarea($name, $title, $description, $default, PARAM_TEXT);

with this line of code:

$setting = new admin_setting_confightmleditor($name, $title, $description, $default);

There are three instances where that needs to occur, one for each marketing spot. This will then allow you to add HTML instead of restricting it to text. I like to do it in the body of the description but feel free to take your pick where exactly you swap the text editor for a html editor. Perhaps it might work elsewhere, but I know it does work for the description.

Also in the /layout/includes/marketingspots.php file you need to add a parameter to the following calls:

$mspdescription = theme_eguru_get_setting('mspot'.$i.'desc', format_html);

Add the format_html parameter to the end of the function call and this should wrap things up for you.

Thanks a million, Perry! Can I still keep the text as a brief description, but also have the hyperlink on the icons?

Lina, to make the icons hyperlinks you will need to do a lot more work. If you study the /layout/includes/marketingspots.php file you will see you will need to add a hyperlink construct inside the div that wraps around the icon. The link's value will also need to be stored somewhere and you'll have to have an editor to store the URL. These things are more involved than simply switching the description text from text to html. Be prepared to spend some time working on that concept. If you tackle that kind of work I would suggest you make your own theme and inherit from eGuru

Thanks a lot, Perry. I think I will go with the easiest option, given that I am not an IT expert I replaced the line of the code but I got a bit confused with the calls and the format_html parameter. Could you please give me more info on this? Apologies for any inconvenience - I am still familiarising myself with Moodle.

Lina, Moodle documentation would be very helpful here: https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Output_functions

'This is Photoshop's version of Lorem Ipsum"
this appears on the site and did not find a away to remove or replace it

Hi Smart Study Platform,

"This is Photoshop's version of Lorem Ipsum" is the marketing spot block description.
You can change the text in the theme setting in below path,

Dashboard / Site Administration / Appearance / Theme / eguru

In eguru theme settings, select the marketing spot tab.

Change the text in the "Marketing Spot 1 - Description".


Regards,
M.Nithyanandan

hank you for your answer.
Unfortunately it doesn't work.
I tried as you told me and it doesn't work: ((

I need to include a page in your subject but the header and footer does not take what I should do to correct it?

I also have a problem with objects other than labels to move them from left to right or vice versa.
<?php
require_once(dirname(dirname(__DIR__)) . '\config.php');

//require_once(__DIR__ . '/../config.php');
//require_once($CFG->libdir . '/adminlib.php');


//Añades el titulo a la página:
$PAGE->set_heading('Heading');
$PAGE->set_title("Title");
// Imprimes el contenido
echo $OUTPUT->header();
// Aquí se mete lo que quieras que se imprima por pantalla entre la cabecera y el footer.
echo "Hola mundo";

//echo (dirname(dirname(__DIR__)) . '\config.php');;



echo $OUTPUT->footer();
?>
theme eguru version 3.7.2

Please I need assistance concerning the alignment of the copyright footer text. It is aligned to the left, instead of center despite the text-center class being attached to it as seen in the footer block. I have also tried to use inline HTML stylings but it isn't reflected.

But even that will not make the text in the copyright section to the center. This is not a universal problem, as the demo site in Eguru site has its copyright text to the center. Please what can I do to rectify the situation?

We have two problems in combination with the Safe Exam Browser: a) the timer showing the remaining time for the exam is not displayed b) if a student navigates to a new page by clicking on a question number in the grid with the question numbers upper right, and come back the answers are gone!

Both problems vanish if we change to Boost.

We have Moodle 3.5.7+ (Build: 20190712) and eGuru v3.5.3 2018111500.
