{{Themes}}
== Theme settings ==
An administrator can change theme settings in ''Settings > Site administration > Appearance > Themes > Theme settings''.

[[File:Themesettings.png]]

===Theme list===
This lists the themes available for course and user themes. Leave this blank to allow any valid theme to be used. If you want to shorten the theme menu, you may specify a comma-separated list of names, though don't use spaces (e.g. standard,orangewhite).

You can preview the available themes in ''Settings > Site Administration > Appearance > Themes > Themes selector.''

===Theme designer mode===
Turn this on if you are designing and testing themes as it will stop the themes being cached and enable you to see theme changes quickly. (You can also do this with the Clear theme cache button on the theme selector page.)

===Allow user themes===
If the option ''allowuserthemes'' is enabled, each user may select their preferred theme on the edit profile page. All Moodle pages will be displayed in the user's theme, apart from courses where a course theme has been set.

===Allow course themes===
If you enable this, then teachers will be able to set their own course themes. Course themes override all other theme choices (site, user, or session themes).

*If the option ''allowcoursethemes'' is enabled, each editing teacher may select their course theme via the Force theme option on the [[course/edit|Course settings]] page. The course will always be displayed in the theme specified in the course setting, with user and the site themes being overwritten.

===Allow category themes===
When enabled, themes can be set at the category level. This will affect all child categories and courses unless they have specifically set their own theme. WARNING: Enabling category themes may affect performance, as it will result in a few extra DB queries on each page, so only turn this on if you need it!

===Allow theme changes in the URL===
*If this is checked then the theme may be changed by adding <code>?theme=theme_name</code> (or <code>&theme=theme_name</code> if there are other URL parameters) to the URL in the browser. Theme names should be in lower case with spaces replaced by underscores, for example the theme "Formal white" should be entered as <code>?theme=formal_white</code>

===Allow users to hide blocks===
Allows users to display and hide blocks

===Allow blocks to use the docks===
*If the theme allows it, then checking this will allow the user to move blocks to the side dock.

===Custom menu items===
The custommenuitems setting allows you to create a drop down menu that can be displayed by themes that support it. Currently all themes that are provided with Moodle 2.0 support this custom menu.

You are able to create the custom menu by entering custom menu items one per line into the setting. Each item is preceded by a number of hyphens (-), the number of hyphens determines the depth of the item. So items that are '''NOT''' preceded by a hyphen appear on the top level of the menu (always visible), items with a single hyphen appear on a drop down menu below the previous top level item, and items with two hyphens appear on a drop down menu below the previous first level item and so on.

The content of each item is constructed of up to three bits, each separated by a '''|''' (Shift + \) character. The bits are '''label''' | '''url''' | '''tooltip'''.
; label : This is the text that will be shown within the menu item. You must specify a label for every item on the menu.
; url : This is the URL that the user will be taken to it they click the menu item. This is optional, if not provided then the item will not link anywhere.
; tooltip : If you provide a URL you can also choose to provide a tooltip for the link that is created with the URL. This is optional and if not set the label is used as the tooltip for the menu item.

The following is an example of how you would create a custom menu:

<pre>
Moodle community|http://moodle.org
-Moodle free support|http://moodle.org/support
-Moodle development|http://moodle.org/development
--Moodle Tracker|http://tracker.moodle.org
--Moodle Docs|https://docs.moodle.org
-Moodle News|http://moodle.org/news
Moodle company
-Moodle commercial hosting|http://moodle.com/hosting
-Moodle commercial support|http://moodle.com/support
</pre>

Note: The custom menu does not escape characters within the label, if you want to use a special HTML character such as an ampersand you must escape it yourself within the label. e.g. use & instead of &.

For more information on this setting please see the ''Using Moodle'' forum discussion [http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=149803 Moodle 2.0: Custom menu in core]

==== Multilanguage support ====

You can add a language code (or a comma separated list of codes) as the 4th item of the line. The line will be then printed if and only if the user has currently selected the listed language. For example:

<pre><nowiki>
English only|http://moodle.com|English only item|en
German only|http://moodle.de|Deutsch|de,de_du,de_kids
</nowiki></pre>

==== Adding other attributes to the HTML ====
Other attributes, such as '''target''' can be added with escaped quotes:
<pre><nowiki>
Moodle Homepage|http://moodle.org\" target=\"_blank
</nowiki></pre>
The first escaped quote closes the href attribute, allowing other attributes to be added. All quotes for the extra attributes must be escaped as well. Do not add the closing quotation mark on the final attribute, it is added automatically by Moodle.

===Enable device detection===
Will detect mobile and tablets that identify themselves via the web browser at the time of login to Moodle. These work with the theme selector. When the theme selector has identified a default, mobile and tablet themes, this feature will use that theme.

===Device detection regular expressions===
This will allow you to customize the theme selector options. For example, you can add a custom theme for IE6 and another for Windows CE by entering the identifying expressions the browser sends and the "Return value" you want to display as the theme selectors "Device type".

==Special themes==

=== Session themes ===
Moodle offers an additional way to set a theme - the '''session theme'''. This is set with the URL and lasts until you log out. When you next login, the site/course/user themes are active again. This option is great for theme testing and works perfectly when you want to enable different themes for different situations.

For example you can offer a special link for PDA users and integrate the session theme ''orangewhitepda'' in that link. Nobody needs to change any settings, you just click on that link. The session theme is called by the URL parameter <code>&theme=orangewhitepda</code>. The whole URL without the session theme could look like <code><nowiki>http://mymoodlesite.org/course/view.php?id=18</nowiki></code> and with the parameter for the PDA theme like <code><nowiki>"http://mymoodlesite.org/course/view.php?id=18&theme=orangewhitepda"</nowiki></code>.

In a standard Moodle installation, session themes are not active. To activate them the administrator must add the parameter <code>$CFG->allowthemechangeonurl = true;</code> to the Moodle ''config.php'' file in the Moodle base directory.

=== Page theme ===
A page theme is for special page-only themes set by code.

== Theme hierarchy ==
Here is the usual order that themes are considered by the Moodle interface.

{| style="border:1px dashed #ddd"
|- style="vertical-align:top;text-align:left"
!Theme type
! style="background:#eee"|Overwrites
!Display
! style="background:#eee"|Setting type
|- style="vertical-align:top"
|Site
|style="background:#eee"| -
|all pages*
|style="background:#eee"|saved in theme profile
|- style="vertical-align:top"
|User
|style="background:#eee"|Site theme
|all pages*
|style="background:#eee"|saved in user profile
|- style="vertical-align:top"
|Course
|style="background:#eee"|Site, user and session themes
|one course
|style="background:#eee"|saved in course profile
|- style="vertical-align:top"
|Session
|style="background:#eee"|Site and user themes
|all pages*
|style="background:#eee"|temporary until logout
|}
(* except courses with the course theme set)

=== Change default hierarchy===
The priority of themes can be set via the /moodle/config.php file. The order defines which theme wins when there are several set at different levels. You can set a variable called $CFG->themeorder (see config-dist.php for more details). By default it is set to:

<code><nowiki>$CFG->themeorder = array('page', 'course', 'category', 'session', 'user', 'site');</nowiki></code>

==Particular theme settings==

Logo, tagline, link colour, column width, custom CSS and other settings for a particular theme may be set by an administrator in ''Settings > Site administration > Appearance > Themes > Theme name''.

{{Managing a Moodle course}}
Blocks are items which may be added to the left or right or centre column of any page in Moodle. They may also be added to the centre of the My Home (My Moodle) page. You can theme the position of blocks in the centre of pages as well.

Any block can be made 'sticky' so that it appears in all the contexts below, such as throughout a course or a particular activity - see [[Block settings]].

Blocks can be placed on the side of the screen (if your theme supports it) via the [[Dock]] icons ( [[Image:Dock_to_block.png]] and [[Image:Block_to_dock.png]] ).

==Standard blocks==

Available blocks include:

Nrobbins: fixed duplication of collapsed topics

{{Courses}}
A course format refers to the layout of a course. The course format can be selected in ''Settings > Course administration > Edit settings''.

==Standard course formats==

===Weekly format===
[[Image:Weeklyoutline.png|thumb|Weekly format example]] The course is organized week by week, with a clear start date and a finish date. Moodle will create a section for each week of your course. You can add content, forums, quizzes, and so on in the section for each week.

:''TIP:'' If you want all your students to work on the same materials at the same time, this would be a good format to choose.

:''NOTE:'' Make sure your course start date is correct. If it is not your weeks will have the wrong date on it. This is especially important if you are restoring a course to use with a new section of students.

===Topics format===
[[Image:Topicoutline.png|thumb|Topic format example]]The course is organised into topic sections that a teacher can give titles to. Each topic section consists of activities, resources and labels.

TIP: This is great to use if your course is objective based and each objective may take different amounts of time to complete. An example of this would be scaffolding where the students are building upon the knowledge from earlier topics.

===="Show only one section"====

With the Weekly format and the Topics format it is possible via ''Settings > Course administration > Edit settings'' to "show one section per page". Here is a course with three topics, with the second one currently shown. The links left and right lead to topics 1 and 3:

[[File:showonlyonesection.png]]

''Notes:''
#The course home page shows just the section names and any text in the section description, with the names being clickable.
#If editing is ON, on the Main course page, then you will see all the content in all the sections.
#There is a link at the bottom "Return to Main course page" on each single section page.

===Social format===
[[Image:Socialformat.png|thumb|Social format example]] This format is oriented around one main [[Forum module|forum]], the social forum, which appears listed on the main page. It is useful for situations that are more free form. They may not even be courses. The [http://moodle.org/course/view.php?id=55 Moodle Lounge] is an example of a social format course.

The social forum can be edited by clicking the 'Update this forum' button on the social forum page. The forum introduction is displayed at the top of the course page.

===SCORM format===
The SCORM format only has 1 section, and allows teacher to insert a pre-built SCORM package. Moodle can use SCORM packages as a content type (see [[SCORM module]]), or as a course format.

An example of SCORM format is [http://school.demo.moodle.net/course/view.php?id=112 the New Staff Induction course on the School demo site]

Note: If you have a large SCORM object you want to use as an entire course, then you can select this course format and students will only be able to interact with the SCORM object, not the rest of the Moodle tools.

==Contributed Course Formats==
The Moodle community has developed a number of course formats, available in the [https://moodle.org/plugins/browse.php?list=category&id=19 plugins directory].

See MDL-27646 and MDL-28555 and maybe the discussion http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=175758#p770737

===Collapsed Topics and its sister format, Collapsed Weeks===
These are formats that are essentially the same as the standard Topic and Weekly formats but with a 'toggle' for each section except '0'. The toggles' purpose is to reduce the amount of initial information presented to the user thus reducing the 'scroll of death' that can plague courses with a lot of content. The 'state' of the toggles is remembered on a per course per user basis. Collapsed Weeks automatically opens the current week. For more information, please visit [[Collapsed_Topics_course_format]] and [[Collapsed_Weeks_course_format]].

====New features for 2.3====
{{New features}}
# Support of 'Show only one section'.
# Multiple columns.
# Cookie-less toggle persistence.
# Administrator layout and colour reset for all collapsed topics courses.
# 'Days' layout where each section is a day with section one being the start date of the course.

==== Demonstration ====

For a demonstration of 'Collapsed Topics' and its latest structure enhancement please see this video:

===Daily format===
The [https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=format_days daily format] is a modification of the weekly format that shows sections by day rather than by week.

===Grid format===
The [https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=format_grid grid format] is a modular and visual course format. Hides all topics and creates a grid of icons (one for each topic) with short titles. Clicking on an icon brings up the content from the corresponding topic in a "lightbox" style display.

===Menutopic format===
The [https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=format_menutopic menutopic format] allows you to display the topics/sections in a menu.

===Onetopic format===
The [https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=format_onetopic onetopic format] shows each topic in a tab, keeping the current tab between calls to resources, in such a way that when it returns from a module as the blog or the glossary it returns to tab from where you started. This format is based on the Moodle standard format: “Topics”.

===Topic format (colors)===
The [https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=format_colours colored topic format] is based on the 'Topics' standard format and allows a teacher to specify the foreground and background colours for each course section.

Other contributed course formats are available from the modules and plugins database.

Nrobbins: Added section for contributed formats, added formats that are compatible with 2.3

{{Courses}}
A course format refers to the layout of a course. The course format can be selected in ''Settings > Course administration > Edit settings''.

==Standard course formats==

===Weekly format===
[[Image:Weeklyoutline.png|thumb|Weekly format example]] The course is organized week by week, with a clear start date and a finish date. Moodle will create a section for each week of your course. You can add content, forums, quizzes, and so on in the section for each week.

:''TIP:'' If you want all your students to work on the same materials at the same time, this would be a good format to choose.

:''NOTE:'' Make sure your course start date is correct. If it is not your weeks will have the wrong date on it. This is especially important if you are restoring a course to use with a new section of students.

===Topics format===
[[Image:Topicoutline.png|thumb|Topic format example]]The course is organised into topic sections that a teacher can give titles to. Each topic section consists of activities, resources and labels.

TIP: This is great to use if your course is objective based and each objective may take different amounts of time to complete. An example of this would be scaffolding where the students are building upon the knowledge from earlier topics.

===="Show only one section"====
{{New features}}
With the Weekly format and the Topics format it is possible via ''Settings > Course administration > Edit settings'' to "show one section per page". Here is a course with three topics, with the second one currently shown. The links left and right lead to topics 1 and 3:

===Collapsed Topics format===
The [https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=format_topcoll collapsed topics format] is an interchangeable topic or week (day for 2.3.1+) based format that solves the issue of the 'Scroll of Death' when a course has many topics / weeks. All sections except zero have a toggle that displays that section. One or more sections can be displayed at any given time.

===Daily format===
The [https://moodle.org/plugins/view.php?plugin=format_days daily format] is a modification of the weekly format that shows sections by day rather than by week.

===Grid format===

Subcourse module

2012-05-02T13:43:52Z

Nrobbins: /* See also */ Added link to Matt Gibson's 2.0 version of Subcourse

The module provides very simple yet useful functionality. When added into a course, it behaves as a graded activity. The grade for each student is taken from a final grade in another course. Combined with metacourses, this allows course designers to organize courses into separate units.

The module was created and is currently maintained by [[User:David Mudrak|David Mudrak]].

==Installation==

The module uses PHP exceptions - PHP5 is needed. Use this module at production servers on your own risk - it has not been tested very much yet. On the other hand - you are warmly welcome to install, test and report any problems.

* Moodle 2.0 - upgrade in progress
* Moodle 1.9 - checkout [[CVS for Administrators|CVS]] branch MOODLE_19_STABLE or download [http://download.moodle.org/plugins19/mod/subcourse.zip 1.9 build]
* Earlier version are not supported

The source code of Moodle 1.x live also in [[CVS for Administrators|CVS]] [http://cvs.moodle.org/contrib/plugins/mod/subcourse/ contrib/plugins/mod/subcourse]. To checkout the module, go to the Moodle mod/ directory and use:
cvs -z3 -d:ext:myusername@cvs.moodle.org:/cvsroot/moodle co -d subcourse -r MOODLE_19_STABLE contrib/plugins/mod/subcourse

==How to report a bug==

Integrating Face-to-face sessions on the course page

2011-08-26T18:36:51Z

Nrobbins: /* 2.0+ */

{{Facetoface}}

=Code to add=

To display the session dates directly on the course page, you must add a couple of lines to the print_section() function in course/lib.php:

} elseif ($mod->modname == 'facetoface') {
include_once($CFG->dirroot.'/mod/facetoface/lib.php');
echo facetoface_print_coursemodule_info($mod);

=Where to add the code=

==1.9==

In between this block:

if ($mod->modname == "label") {

and the matching else clause:

} else { // Normal activity

The code goes just above the 'else' line just shown.

On 1.9, it should be close to line 1347.

==2.0+==

NOTE: This section is written against the face-to-face version from [http://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=181601 Dongyoung Kim]

Near line 1553

in between this block:

// We may be displaying this just in order to show information
// about visibility, without the actual link
$contentpart = '';

and this block:

if ($mod->uservisible) {
// Nope - in this case the link is fully working for user

Be sure to change the if statement of the '''if ($mod->uservisible) {''' to '''elseif ($mod->uservisible) {'''

The resulting code should look like this:
// We may be displaying this just in order to show information
// about visibility, without the actual link
$contentpart = '';
if ($mod->modname == 'facetoface') {
include_once($CFG->dirroot.'/mod/facetoface/lib.php');
echo facetoface_print_coursemodule_info($mod);
} elseif ($mod->uservisible) {
// Nope - in this case the link is fully working for user
===Icon Fix===

The Face to Face icon will not display without this modification to mod\facetoface\lib.php:
Near line 2484, change
$htmlactivitynameonly = '<img src="'.$CFG->pixpath.'/mod/facetoface/icon.gif" class="activityicon" alt="'.$facetoface->name.'" /> '

to
$htmlactivitynameonly = '<img src="'.$CFG->pixpath.'http://<<myMoodleInstall>>/theme/image.php?theme=<<themeName>>&image=icon&rev=211&component=facetoface" class="activityicon" alt="'.$facetoface->name.'" /> '

=Result=

It will look like this:

Adult education and training

2010-10-27T13:42:25Z

Nrobbins: Added internal links and link to Business Uses course

Moodle is frequently used in provision of adult learning and corporate/government training.

[[SCORM|SCORM]]-compliance, completion-tracking, easy provision of essential content for achieving stated competencies, various [[Enrolment|enrolment]] and [[Enrolment_plugins|payment options]], and the use of social and collaborative features for discussions or projects make Moodle an ideal choice for adult education, training and professional development.

==Examples==

Nrobbins: /* Tips and tricks */ Fixed Typo - "iIn" to "In"

{{Moodle 1.9}}From Moodle 1.9 onwards, teachers may add notes about their students.

The notes page may be accessed via the Notes tab in a user's profile page or the Notes tab on the Participants page.

==Note status==

A note's status determines who can see the note.

* Personal - The note will be visible only to you (as the teacher)
* Course - The note will be visible to other teachers in this course (users with [[Capabilities/moodle/notes:view|notes:view]] capability in this course)
* Site - The note will be visible to other teachers in all courses (users with [[Capabilities/moodle/notes:view|notes:view]] capability in any course)

==Tips and tricks==

* Enable/disable notes: In Moodle 1.9.4 onwards, notes may be disabled by unticking the ''enablenotes'' checkbox in ''Administration > Security > [[Site policies]]''.
