Description

In all of my themes you can use a child theme. A child theme allows you to add advanced changes in many aspects of your site’s appearance yet still preserve your theme’s look and functionality.

Installation

Child theme installation is the same as a parent theme installation. To install a child theme just go to Site administration → Plugins → Install Plugins, upload a child theme zip file and Moodle will do all the rest.

Shortcodes in a child theme

After installation a child theme you have to set a parent theme name for the Shortcodes Filter plugin. To do it:

1. Go to: Site administration → Plugins → Filters → Mb2 Shortcodes.
2. Insert a parent theme name into the Custom theme name field.

Below you can see parent theme names:

• mb2nl - New Learning
• mb2cg - Cognitio
• mb2iq - IQ
• mb2aofk - Apple of Knowledge
• mb2mcl - Macro Learning

Check also shortcodes filter documentation.

Child theme CSS style

To add custom CSS style to a child theme you have to edit: moodle_root/theme/your_child_theme/style/custom.css file.

Child theme SCSS style

To add custom SCSS style to a child theme you have to edit: moodle_root/theme/your_child_theme/scss/style.scss file.

@import '../../parent_theme_name/scss/style';
