    Hi, we got last stable Moodle and last update of Simple theme, but cannot see the courses block in the frontpage.

    We force login to list cources, but in the Home Page only got, in the "middle column", the Calendar and the front page summary.
    Could you tell us if we made some mistake in the configuration? or if we must configure something more to enable the block list in the Home page, after user login.

    Thanks a lot and realy GREAT job with this theme.

    You have to click "Turn editing on" on front page in the Administration block. And then “ADD A BLOCK" and you can choose a new block. Have a look at our page how it could look like: https://moodle.zhaw.ch

    Hi,
    i got last moodle and last release from your simple theme and realy like it. My question is:
    How can i get those boxes on my frontpage? I create boxes in the left menu bar, activate the edit mode, but can't move them in the middle of my frontpage. Is there a manual or something like that?

    Hi Jan, you have to click "Turn editing on" on front page in the Administration block. And then move (drag and drop) the box to the middle using the cross icon "Move block".

    I noticed that the code changed for the footer with the 1.8 release. Do you still need to modify the code if you want a footer?

    Hi Rick
    I'm not aware that something changed on the footer. On https://github.com/freshbreeze/Moodle_Themes_Simple_2.7 you see the changes. This verion is identical as the one on moodle.

    Hi, I loved the Theme for mobile devices.

    However, I set 'Display language menu' and 'Language autodetect' to No in Language settings, but in the header I see the menu for two languages, it says:
    Home | en | es_mx|

    How can I hide this option?
    Thanks!

    Nice to hear that you love the Theme for mobile devices.
    You have to uninstall the “es_mx” language package. Then the language menu will disappear.

    Hi, thanks for your response, but I can't uninstall the 'es_mx' language package because we are using it, in fact, the users can't choose the language because the 'es_mx' is the default in our platform.

    You could try to uninstall the English language package. I'm not sure if this is possible.
    Or you uncomment:
    old: echo $s;
    new: //echo $s;
    in all the php files in the layout folder.
