Hi Dave,

I think you are correct, you found the renderers which were in control of the footer display. I am afraid I cannot guide you through how to override those here, but have a look at https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Overriding_a_renderer , then I would suggest to seek more help on the forums dedicated to themers.

Cheers,
Fred

Hi, I am also trying to customise the footer, and from what I can tell the elements in the footer are generated by the functions:

login_info()
home_link()
standard_footer_html()

Is this a correct assumption, and if so where can I find them or how can I customise the footer?
is there a tutorial available to edit / customise the footer (and possibly the header to).

My next task after the footer is to customise the header.
I have a website at www.disabledfriends.com and I am trying to customise the theme to replicate the design of the website (as closely as possible).

Kind Regards
Dave.

Thanks for the response, I discovered that to alert the text colour of the headings of the blocks such as calender etc, what I needed was:

.block .header h2 {
color: #000000;
}

I hope this helps others
Kind Regards
Dave.

Hi David,

I'm pretty sure that you will have to be more specific than just defining .title. I advise you to inspect the HTML using Webdeveloper Tools (built-in Firefox and Chrome). You will notice what CSS rules are taking precedence over the other ones, including yours.

Cheers,
Fred

I have been trying to alter the text colour of titles within the heading blocks, which has the class name of 'title' with out much luck. I have entered the following css in the custom.cad file:
.title {
color: #000000;
}

Any help would be appreciated, I have added other css which has taken effect. I have also purged cache and enabled development mode.

Kind Regards.
Dave.

Frédéric - Many thanks for sharing this plugin with the Moodle community. I installed the theme and hope everyone finds it easy to use and to build other themes based off of it. Keep up the great work! Peace - Anthony
