Introduction

This is a Moodle theme that inherits its main functionalities from the Boost theme and adds an additional bar that is located below the top navigation bar. The bar contains a right menu that contains a dropdown for languages and a popover/dropdown that explains what the dropdown is meant for. All of the draft implementations of the mockup use Bootstrap 4 theming because it's what the default Moodle theme, which is the Boost theme, uses.

Manual installation

1. Clone this repository
2. Unzip it in the /theme directory of your Moodle installation
3. Be sure to install moodle-translate_courses plugin as well because some features of the theme depend on it
4. Also install the moodle-courseselect custom field because it's also required

Usage

• To use it, go to Moodle appearance settings and enable the theme
• The inline translation widget can be enabled by the user by using the toggle in the top navigation bar
• Translating the course
  • Follow the instruction from translation plugin(link)

Using the translation feature for existing themes

If you want to add the navigation bar and the inline translation widget to an existing theme, you need to add some files to your theme first. Those files are:

• layout/course.php
• templates/course.mustache

Copy those files to their respective folders and remember to change the layout/course.php's render_from_template function to reference your template's name.

After that, you have to set the course page to use our newly added course page template. Do it by copying the following into your theme's config file.

$THEME->layouts = array(
    ....
    // Main course page.
    'course' => array(
        'file' => 'course.php',
        'regions' => array('side-pre'),
        'defaultregion' => 'side-pre',
        'options' => array('langmenu' => true),
    ),
)
