Upon switching Moodle's theme to Campus Boost, the tabs that divide up the admin page cease to function. The URL bar will still change to (For example) admin/search.php#linkcourses or admin/search.php#linkgrades, but the content of the page below no longer updates. We are attempting to apply this theme to a dev version of an active site, so there are other plugins in play that may complicate this issue and therefore this is more a request for troubleshooting suggestions than a full bug report. Any advice as to which Moodle js files handle tab switching and where to look for potential conflicts? Developer mode outputs no errors.

Thanks!

Will you be updating you Boost Campus plugins for Moodle 3.6?
Thanks
Gus

Für mich ist es hier der 1. Eintrag auf github! Ich hoffe, ich platziere hier mein Anliegen am richtigen Ort und darf es auch auf Deutsch machen?!
Bei mir erscheinen alle Blöcke auf der rechten Seite. Gibt es eine Möglichkeit, dass ich als Admin alle Blöcke standardmäßig auf die linke Seite platzieren kann? Oder finde ich diese Einstellungen gar nicht in den Designeinstellungen?

Hi
The last Moodle Upgrade (3.5.2 and 3.6 beta) (Build: 20181110) access does not allow user authentication: "Invalid login, please try again" on Manual accounts method. Probably for "MDL-63183 auth: Login protection" changes. Link

The dark navbar uses $gray-dark by default. I realize I can overrule this scss variable in the raw initial scss but it might be nice if we could set it with a color picker.

In the theme settings under

• Course Layout Settings
• Footer Layout Settings
• Additional Layout Settings

it looks like, that the theme shows [[stringstotranslate]] but not the actual string.

Moodle: v3.3.1

nothing here

Dear Kathrin

I've got a feature request I'm also willing to work on.
The 'Move "Switch role to..." to the course settings' option allows to move the named option to the course settings. Or you could just leave it in the user menu as is.
Actually a third possibility is what I would think about: let it appear at both places!
So it gives usability in the course settings but also prevents puzzling questions from user which miss the function at the used place.
I'd like to work on a pulldown menu labeled '"Switch role to..." location' (or similar) with the select options "just in the course settings / just in the user menu / in both places".
Of course with an upgrade script for transition from the actual theme to that upcoming version.

Best,
Luca

The Boost-Campus Theme offers a lot of things that we missed in Moodle 3.4 in the Boost theme.- thanks for your effort.

It is nice that the entry "Dashboard" in the hamburgermenue can be moved to the top also in course-view.
I wished I could also move "site-home", "calendar" and "private files", to the top of that menue.

Also, I would like to to be able to collapse the "my couses" list in that menue or make it disappear altogether. When subscribed to many courses that list is not complete anyway and the entry "more" takes me to "site-home" instead of showing my complete list of courses.
We use the legacy course owerview block on the dashboard and are quite happy with that.

hi

i am so confused about overiding core renderer from boost child. can you help me?

The login.mustache template and columns2.mustache template have closing tags then the layouts call and render the additional footer items.

I like this plugin a lot.

Is there an estimate as to when there will be a version available for the current MOODLE 3.3 and the soon to be released MOODLE 3.4 branches in the Moodle plugins database?

This theme seems to work nicely in both branches, but I have not done an extensive testing.

According to the stats at https://moodle.org/plugins/stats.php?plugin=theme_boost_campus , most of the users of this theme actually have a Moodle 3.3 version :)

Having the Moodle plugins database with this branches marked as supported will make it very easy to install from the web UI.

Thanks for a very nice plugin.

Hello,

if you have a course using the Topics format and in that course's settings change the "Course layout" to "Show one section per page" you all of a sudden have borders between the sections in the nav drawer. These are not there when using the "Show all sections on one page".

When you reduce the window width in the course administration, the content looks like this:

When you change:

.col-sm-3 {
    float: left;
    width: 25%;
}

to:

.col-sm-3 {
    float: none;
    width: 25%;
}

it looks like this:

I have installed boost campus plugin, but after installation, all href are replaced by #. So redirection to relevant pages is not taking place.
Please suggest solution. Thank You

In the boost settings you can enable background images for the login page. One image works fine, but a secound image will always show as a white page.

When inverting the default light navbar to a dark one some texts stay black/dark blue and are therefore hardly recognizable (e.g. text of language dropdown and links (hover effect)).
I changed the navbar using the „dark navbar“ checkbox in the “design setting” tab.
Moodle 3.4.1, Boost Campus v3.4-r1 (version: 2018021900).

The following error pops up, when a guest tries to access the guest enrolment of a course under /enrol/index.php?id=COURSEID

The problem ist that the $pageflatnav-Object in locallib.php:theme_boost_campus_set_node_on_top is not set for a guest, resulting in the error.

It may be a problem with your plugin boostnavigation which we have installed here at the TU Darmstadt, but we are not sure and this is just a thought.

I will create a pull-request fixing this issue.

Using version 2018052300 of the boost_campus theme under Moodle 3.5.1 stable, if a brand info color is selected by the user it is ignored and UI elements which previously (under version 2018020700 at least) respected the user selected color continue to be displayed using the default Boost color:

When settings are as shown in the following screenshot, then the change role function is nowhere to be found:

(All of the above checkboxes are unchecked)

If the first setting is also checked, it is visible in to "fold open" menu.

Hello Kathrin,

we are testing moodle 3.5.1+ (Build (2018051400) and your latest boost_campus theme (version 2018073100/release v3.5-r2) right now. We found an error by using the forumng plugin (version 2018011800) from the open university. It is not possible to activate the close button.

Please could you have a look at this issue.

I diabled the helptextmodal function for now.

Cheers,
Michael

When loginform is set to true the logo above the form is not responsive.

If this is not intended, it could be fixed with two additions to the img tag width="100%" height = "auto" .

I'd open a pull request but it seems to be too much trouble for the simple fix :)

shouldn't this be white like the rest of the navbar text/icons?

In the sidebar on the right is this "My Files"-Box. We have the problem that the files names are to long for the box:

Dear Kathrin and Alex
I've got a suggestion to make.
You could suppress the back-to-top fa-chevron-up from print stylesheet so it's vanished when printing out a page.
Best,
Luca

Some elements of the page layout seem broken after switching to moodle 3.5
Going back to theme boost solves the issue, given that the beauty of boost_campus is lost. Clearing caches does not help.

When placing a block in the footer, its text and icons become white which makes them invisible on the white background of the block.

You can remedy this with custom CSS but it would be nice if the theme would already take care of it.

After installing the plugin and having debug mode enabled, I was greeted by this error message:

pix_url is deprecated. Use image_url for images and pix_icon for icons.

This function is called 3 times in classes\output\core_renderer.php

Opening a course page, there are broken image-links in the top-left corner:

Installed moodle version is 3.3, OS is windows (windows installation package)

I noticed that some buttons under Site administration look strange:

To see them you need to go to Site administration > Courses > Manage courses and categories. You also need to have a bunch of courses for the buttons to show up. Here's a script that you can put in your Moodle root and run to create enough courses to reproduce this:

<?php
define('CLI_SCRIPT', true);
require_once(dirname(__FILE__).'/config.php');
require_once($CFG->libdir.'/testing/generator/data_generator.php');

echo "Generating courses ...";
$gen = new testing_data_generator();
for ($i = 0; $i < 21; $i++) {
    $course = $gen->create_course();
    echo " $course->shortname";
}
echo "\n";

The Footnote-Feature is placed under "Additional Layout Settings". I think it would be nicer to place it under "Footer Layout Settings". If you agree I will try to write a patch ;)

It may be occurd only at us, maybe because of our logo, but if not, this is how to fix it:

We had the problem, that the title was not vertical centered within the navbar:

We fixed this with:

.navbar-light .navbar-brand.has-logo {
    color: #fff;
    margin-top: -0.2rem;
}

In the new version 3.6 the footnote is out of place.

Attachment screenshot

Each usage of get_user_preferences() in this function throws an error in 3.5. The second parameter should be the default value to return. Removing $USER from the parameters solves the issue.

When login page background images have been uploaded via the 'Design Settings' tab, reducing the the log in page width during viewing or viewing the log-in page on reduced width devices e.g. phones and tablets causes the background image to disappear. For us, this occurs whether using the 'Login form' option or not. System information: Moodle 3.3.4 (build: 20180115), Boost Campus 3.3-r3 (version: 2018020700).

After activating theme_boost_campus / loginform I could not longer login to my moodle site.
The features sets the login window to the left.
I had to change theme back to boost in the database and only then could I log back in.

We experienced the following problem with a cloze (DE: Lückentext): at a small screen size the line break got triggered a lot:

I fixed this with:

p .subquestion {
   display: inline-block;
}

Now it looks like this:

In Footer Layout Settings you can change the number of blocks in the footer. I changed the value to "Two blocks columns in footer", but I don't see where I have to go to edit the content of those two footer blocks.

In our old 2.7 custom theme we created a section to show some roles which people are managing a specific course section:

Here is our 2.7 code of ../ourtheme/renderers/course_renderer.php:

        $list_container = [];

        $set_flag = FALSE;
        $userroles = Array();
        if ($category != null || $category != 0) {
            $coursecontext = context_coursecat::instance($category); //aktueller context
            if (has_capability('moodle/course:create', $coursecontext)) {
                $category_information = $DB->get_records('course_categories', array('id' => $category)); //informationen aus dem aktuellen context
                  if ($category_information[$category]->parent != 0) {

            }
        }

(I didn't wrote this code, don't blame me for hard coded strings ^^)

I now try to port this code into 3.3 and boost, but if you have any ideas to improve this feature, please write a comment.

Hi. As always, many thanks for making this wonderful theme available. When using version 2018073100 of boost_campus under Moodle 3.5.1 we are not seeing the section0title setting as having any effect when enabled, section 0 titles only being visible when editing is switched on.

Hi Uni Ulm Moodle Team

Your Boost Campus work is terrific!

I noticed a design inconsistency, though, which collides with usual Boost behaviour.
Block "Add a block" does show where it shouldn't IMHO.

To reproduce:

Go to a course, have an activity (e.g. a quiz) in it. You could also reproduce with the notification forum if you wish.
Turn editing on for the course.
Click the activity to get to the activity editing user interface.

What you expect: There's no "Add a block" block.
What actually happens: There is a "Add a block" block.

Thanks for enquiring.

Hello

Since the last 3 updates of version 3.7 (currently 20190511 in my test environment) an error has been detected in "redirect" giving a message

"Fatal error: Class 'theme_boost\output\core\course_renderer' not found in /data/vhosts/nuryana.com/beta.nuryana.com/theme/boost_campus/classes/output/core/course_renderer.php on line 43"

when you try to enter a course. This does not happen in the other links (administration, for example) Considering that an update is expected this next May 20, maybe we should have planned a patch.

Greetings.

Please change: classes/output/corse_renderer.php" line 415 'core/login' to 'core/loginform'.
that caused filenotfound error.

When the setting above is checked, "unfolding" the settings via the gear wheel does work for courses, but not for the site home/front page (accessible with the url moodle.com/?redirect=0).

Installed moodle version is 3.3, OS is windows (windows installation package). This error could be reproduced on two different machines.

Hello Tech Support,

Please your help ...
I use Moodle 3.7 (Build: 20190520), and get an Error when installing the latest Boost Campus (v3.7-r2, 2019070500, released on 5 July 2019):

Validating theme_boost_campus ... Error
[Error] Required Moodle version [2019052000.05]
Installation aborted due to validation failure

How can I fix this error? Thank you in advance.

Dear Kathrin
With some themes it is possible to add a drop down menu in the navigation bar with all my courses. Can I do this with Boost Campus? Where can I find these settings? Or what I have to enter in "custommenuitems"?

Best,
Hermann

Hi @rochelmeyer

A few weeks ago we made the decision to upgrade to the new version 3.6.1. and we have returned to the original theme of Moodle (Boost). Unfortunately, we found more problems, especially in the new message system among other details. The Moodle roadmap explains that for the next update they will make other significant changes. Predictably, we would experience new setbacks again.

I have translated a large part of your theme into Spanish, that has been my contribution. However, we have abandoned Boost Campus.

Greetings, Enrique

When you enable the setting "No blocks in footer" in the boost campus settings:

But still place Blocks in the Footer in their settings:

They simply disappear and can not be accessed anymore without resetting the dashboard/block settings.

The same thing happens when you set "One block column in footer" and put the block into the middle or right footer-block.

Go to Site administration > Users > Permissions > Capability overview. Select any capability. Then select All roles. Click Get the overview. This is what it looks like:

As you can see, the links to the roles in the thead are white on a white background until you hover over them.

The cause for that seems to be:

thead a {
    color: #fff;
}
