BCU

How to I download the theme? I can see there has been 6208 downloads of this theme but no download link? What am I missing here?

BCU language chooser disappears after login is there a fix for this?

Derek,
a good size for the course images is 450x300px. The default logo is 185x55px and the max. width is 250px
In the existing version, the number of tiles is not limited. So it could be a bit messy when you have many courses. Working on it for the new version.
The breadcrumb is also in the 'To Do' list to have more than one option.

OOPS. One more question.
Is it possible vis CSS to remove all the styling, shading etc for the breadcrumbs and have it just some words and maybe a / symbol or a 'greater than "
And thanks Fernando for your post - installed BCU and playing with it.

How do you guys usually handle a lot of courses in the "Available courses" list? Is there a particular number where they cease to tile?
Is there a suggested ideal size and shape for the course images? And the site logo?

You have the "Versions" tab with the different versions to download in the top of this page like any other plugin.

where on earth do i download this theme

Existing BCU version is compatible with moodle 3.0

Mike and Jez: does this work with 3.0??
Just curious

Hello!
Its possible to fix the height of the line containing the name of students in gradebook?
Thanks

Hi jez.H Yep, I realise that bcu.ac.uk is the corporate site. I have the Moodle Theme for BCU loaded. I'm tricking along modifying things so it is slowly looking a little like the corporate site. Well, vaguely anyway. hmm, some of the colours are similar. The Wiki sounds like a brilliant idea. It's an excellent theme, with lots of control, so I'm looking forward to the new version coming out. Thanks for getting back to me.

Hi Robert,
bcu.ac.uk is the corporate website not Moodle. I am afraid there isnt any documentation for this theme, there are some html snippets in the readme file and quite a long forum thread (linked above). I will be create a wiki page (on Moodle.Org) once the next version is available (which adds quite a few more settings / options).

This is a really "pretty" theme, very functional and well spaced. However - I am looking at the front page of BCU ... http://www.bcu.ac.uk ... which doesn't resemble my front page at all really (lol) using the BCU Theme from the Moodle repository. A web page of Design Ideas or Guides would help perhaps? There don't appear to be any built in guides like Image Size restrictions etc for backgrounds, logos, headers and so on.
Is there anywhere where I might discover such gems? Thanks

Sorry to all those who posted messages recently and did not get a reply.
We are now working on a new version of this theme, currently in a fork, I am adding recently reported issues to the tracker in that fork.
Changes will be pulled back into the BCU repo as they are completed.
With luck and a fair wind there will be a new version available in the next few weeks.
If anyone has any suggestions on how the theme can be improved please post them in this thread:

There is a coding error in BCU/config.php where it lists the stylesheets. 'custom' is the name of the stylesheet that has the CSS Settings in it. But because the 'custom' stylesheet is listed FIRST any CSS declared in it (including any theme settings changes) will be overridden by any CSS in the other stylesheets listed.
So what you need to do if you have access to the server, is change the order of the stylesheets in BCU/config.php and put 'custom' at the end of the list. Here is what I said in the forum incase you missed it! https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=318952&parent=1279251
