Colours course format
This course format, based on the 'Topics' standard format, allows a teacher to specify the foreground and background colours for each course section.
About
This format was created by Davo Smith of Synergy Learning, on behalf of Landesmedienzentrum Baden-Württemberg.
The main lib.php and formats.php files are only lightly modified from those found within the standard format_topics, the rest is new code.
Usage
This format is not currently compatible with Moodle 2.3.
- On the course settings page, choose the format 'Topics format (colours)'.
- Click on the 'Edit colours' icon (on the left of a course section) to edit the colours for that section.
- Click on the 'Copy colours' icon (below the 'Edit colours' icon) to copy the colours from another section into the current section.
Note: only users with the capability 'format/colours:editcolours' (by default, manager, coursecreator and editingteacher roles) can edit course colours.
Note: This is compatible with the core Moodle themes, but may not work as well custom themes.
