[Solved] Forcing Moodle theme for Joomdle

Is it possible to force a specific theme by using with joomdle, apart of theme defined in Moodle ?

I assume you are asking can you choose your Moodle theme? Sure just change the Moodle settings.

I suspect that is not what you are asking though.

No Chris, it is not.
What I want is to force Joomdle to use a specific theme in the wrapper,
eq. theme without navigation etc.. But in standard mode starting Moodle
itself, to use a default Moodle theme defined in Moodle config,
eq. with full functionality. I suppose now it is only possible
to use only the same theme.
Regards,
Mike.

That I am not sure of. You really would need to understand more from the moodle side. I understand that you can set different themes for different courses. You should also be able to set a theme based on user role however this would require some moodle customisation I think.

I found in Moodle Docs that it is possible to ad to the URL the parsmeter? theme=[theme name] to force in current session another theme.
So I think it should be possible to load the wrapper with that parameter.
Can you tell me where to find the code I would try this.

Hi.

Thanks for the suggestion, I will move this thread to Feature Requests, so I can keep track and try to include it in a future release.

In the meantime, I think it should be easy for you to try this. Edit components/com_joomdle/views/wrapper/view.html.php
At the end, you could add:
Please let us know how it goes if you try it.

Thanks Antonio,
for your interrests for Feature Request.
I will try this and let you know the results.

It's working :laugh: ! Once again many thanks for your cooporation.

But there is still a strange behavior.
All is working fine but if you call the Moodle direct in wraper (thrue menu point),
the address in iframe is:
<iframe id="blockrandom" class="autoHeight" src=" www.viaexpert.pl/moodle/?a=1& lang=moodle-admin&theme=anomaly" scrolling="auto" onload="itspower(this, false, true, 20)" frameborder="0" align="top" height="1060" width="100%"></iframe>
Look at the mark in red parameter 'lang'. It's value is the URL value of the Moodle menu point. But this address
is called fine.

The other calls to Moodle seem to be OK.
<iframe id="blockrandom" class="autoHeight" src=" www.viaexpert.pl/moodle/mod/assign/view.php?id=5&theme=anomaly " scrolling="auto" onload="itspower(this, false, true, 20)" frameborder="0" align="top" height="810" width="100%">

I am glad it worked.

As for the strange thing in iframe address: I don't know how that "moodle-admin" is being set as the lang, it is really weird!

So do I.
