Yes, we published a release recently, but had to retract the 4.4 and 4.5 versions temporarily due to automated test failures which occured after the publicaction. We are in the process of investigating and will re-publish it as soon as we are sure that the release works properly.
Dear Sir or Madam,
Is there something wrong? It is said it was updated/released 15 hours ago, but the filename and file's version is same as the 6th Feb 2025.
Kindly please confirm.
Thanks and Best Wishes
We are a LearnR Theme heavy user and we love to see how is evolving to the Boost Union Theme... we would like to recommend to add the TILES FORMAT in the home (for accessing classrooms) that LearnR has introduced... it is very very usefull and apreciated!!! Thanks again and look forward for your improvements!!!
Upgrading from v4.1-r33 to v4.1-r35 ended up breaking our Turnitin integration with Quizzes. Attempting to submit a quiz with Turnitin enabled results in a "Exception - Class "mod_quiz\quiz_attempt" not found" error, and attempt is not submitted. Only workaround is to disable Turnitin.
Hi, I would like to add a header image onto the home page that is responsive, so when the page is resized the image resizes too. Is this possible with Boost Union? If so how would I go about doing this? Many thanks, Natasha
Hi Boost Union developers,
Thanks for this great theme, I've found the config options generally very useful.
I'm using the Smart Menus to add a language menu in the top nav bar (instead of the user menu, where I find it's a bit hidden). So I have two questions, really:
1. Is there a way to include the language menu in the top bar rather than the user menu?
2. In the Smart Menus, is it possible to include relative paths? (e.g. "./?lang=en") I believe that currently, it only accepts URLs starting with https://...
Thanks in advance for your response!
Hi Luis,
the 4.5 release is being prepared at the time of writing and will be push to moodle.org soon.
Hello, do you have an estimated date for version 4.5 regarding full compatibiity with Moodle 4.5 already available? Thanks.
Hi all,
thanks for this heads up. We are aware of this issue in Boost Union.
There is a issue reported on https://github.com/moodle-an-hochschulen/moodle-theme_boost_union/issues/708 and a pull request on https://github.com/moodle-an-hochschulen/moodle-theme_boost_union/pull/720.
The Boost Union upgrade development for Moodle 4.5 will start this week and we will fix this fatal error as a first step.
Meanwhile, I would like to point to our Moodle release support rules on https://github.com/moodle-an-hochschulen/moodle-theme_boost_union?tab=readme-ov-file#moodle-release-support - Boost Union is maintained by volunteers who do not necessarily upgrade their sites directly after a new major version is released. Thank you for your understanding.
Cheers,
Alex
Hi, apparently there's a some serious issue with the Boost Union when trying to upgrade from 4.3 or 4.4. to Moodle 4.5. Cf. https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=461625#p1857411 (best discernible when using the nested view).
Thank you a lot for that fun-tastic plugin!
I'd like to suggest adding an option "Display all sections in courses collapsed" to the block "Look ->Course". Only for standart course format "Custom sections", of course.
I have Moodle 4.3.5 installed and I created two menus (smartmenu) and they cannot be seen. Does anyone know why?
Olá
Esta versão do tema correr no moodle 4.4?
Obrigado
It is not just any theme, it is a wonder creator. Thank you
Hello,
I am considering installing your theme, and I would like to follow up on Steve Bilton's post (Wed, 24 Jan 2024, 2:45 PM).
Does h5p css in your theme apply only to hvp_mod activity and not the new core H5P?
