Download the file from the moodle site
Just follow the step and if there’s missing in the requirement just set php.ini or other config that needs to be updated.
I thought it would be easy just copy and paste the theme folder but it’s not that… read the documentation Creating_a_theme somehow I don’t really like to read throughout. I did the copy and paste but ain’t working then found this on moodle FAQ
- Copy folder theme/standard and call it theme/new
- In theme/new/lang/en folder,
- Renamed theme_standard.php to theme_new.php
- Opened theme/new/lang/en/new.php, recommend you change 2 lines to read something like: $string[‘pluginname’] = ‘New theme – Martin D’; $string[‘chooseredme’] = ‘New theme came from the Standard theme and is being changed by Martin D in 2011’; Saved the file
- In theme/new/config.php – Change $THEME->NAME = ‘new’;
- Went to Administration > Site Administration >Appearance > Theme settings > Theme designer mode (Checked)
- Settings > Site Administration >Appearance > Theme selector
- Clear theme caches
- Select theme
After trying the steps above somehow it still doesn’t show in selecting theme, you know what it’s because of the cache… I tried reset cache but not working again. So i thought of how to clear cache the hard way maybe delete somefiles or something but then do this Site administration – development – purge all caches
Then my new theme is showing yay
