Adaptable - the most adaptable moodle theme
===========================================

Version 2.2.2 (2019112601)

Adaptable is a highly customizable responsive two column moodle theme based on the popular BCU theme adding:

- Customizable fonts (Google Fonts)
- Fully customizable colors
- Fully customizable block styles (including FA icons)
- Fully customizable buttons
- Additional header navigation
- News Ticker
- Alternative jQuery slider
- Alternative front page course styles
- Additional customizable marketing blocks
- Additional layout settings for width, slider width, padding of
  various elements
- Social icons
- Mobile settings (customize how theme looks on mobile devices)
- Dismissible bootstrap alerts
- Option to add login form in header on front page
- Logo and Favicon uploader
- Modern emojis (thanks to EmojiOne)
- Front Page layout builder
- Dashboard layout builder
- Course layout builder
- Activities status
- Privacy API (compatible with GDPR)
- 2 and 3 row header style options 
- 2 User profile layouts

In addition many fields (menus, news items, alerts and help links) can be targeted using custom profile fields, thus it is possible
to present different users with different navigation items and notices. It is also possible for individual users to customize where
they want top menu navigation to appear (disable, home pages only, site wide) using custom profile fields.

Adaptable has a lot of settings and may seem daunting at first, our advice is to simply install with the default settings and play
with it afterwards.

With a little time you should be able to setup an attractive Moodle site with a high degree of individuality without without
knowing any CSS.

This theme has been developed by:
Lead Developers
Jeremy Hopkins (Coventry University)
Fernando Acedo (3bits elearning solutions)
Manoj Solanki (Coventry University)

If you want to reduce or increase the height, Adaptable will resize the image automatically.
There are two possible slider styles each with different markup required:


Original BCU Slider Markup:

<div class="span9">
  <h4>Information</h4>
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore
    et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip
    ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur.
  </div>

  <div class="span3">
  <a href="#" class="submit">2016/17 Courses <i class="fa-chevron-right fa"></i></a>
</div>


Coventry Style Slider Markup

<div class="span6 col-sm-6">
<h3>Hand-crafted</h3> <h4>pixels and code for the Moodle community</h4>
<a href="#" class="submit">Check out our custom theme pricing!</a>
</div>

Front page Info Box and Marketing Blocks
----------------------------------------

There are two Info blocks in the front page located above and below the Marketing Blocks. These are just for compatibility with the
old BCU.

It is recommended to use the new marketing blocks builder that allows you to create your own layout and add much more blocks.

There are 8 rows where you can add up to 4 blocks in each with a total of 32 block of different size. See pix/layout.png for
more information.

You can enter any HTML code to the block, include FA icons, images, videos and apply in-line styles.

Some samples:

<div style="text-align:center; background: #e6e6e6; height: 350px; padding: 7px;">
    <i class="fa fa-paint-brush fa-5x" style="color: #3A454b;"></i>

</div>

News Ticker
-----------
From version 1.3 the news ticker do not need to create an unordered list. Just add paragraphs using <p> tags:

<p>Configure all the theme colors</p>
<p>Use any Google Font for the content, headings and site title</p>
<p>Display a logo or a configurable title site</p>
<p>Configurable Slideshow</p>
<p>Display up to 12 marketing blocks in the front page</p>


Messages / Notifications
------------------------
Moodle 3.2 includes a new system to display messages and notifications in the screen.

The new system displays a hard coded black icons that are difficult to see when using dark background color in the top header.
In that case, you can use an alternate icons pack using white color.

Login the server by FTP or SFTP and open /theme/adaptable/pix_core/i and
delete notifications.png and rename notifications-white.png to notifications.png

Then open /theme/adaptable/pix_core/t and delete message.png and
rename message-white.png to message.png

From moodle 3.6 the messages and notifications has been changed to the called "Messages Drawer".


Activities icons
------------------------
From version 1.4, Adaptable includes its own icons pack that replace the default moodle icons.
If you don't want to use the icons just remove adaptable/pix_plugins and adaptable/pix_core/f
You can enable this icons from the administration.
