    Patrick, I've bought and installed the Vitality theme - it's very good, thanks.

    A couple of questions:

    1. I'd like the front page and other pages to be the same. When I altered the header to try to acheive that, the header image on the non front pages was not clipped to the right dimension - see attached screenshot, rss.jpg. Any advice?

    2. The database module is not displaying properly - the left hand side overlaps the margin - see attached screenshot, database.jpg. . Also, the RSS icon on the right hand side is right up against the side (same screenshot in 1).

    3. I'd like to use the same theme with a different picture in a course which allows course theme to be forced. Can I just copy the Vitality directory and rename it and then change the header image??

    Cheers

    Hello Jon,

    1.) This isn't something I can just tell you how to do since it requires fixing the width of the course pages, and considering that Moodle does not like to be fixed-width, this takes considerable time troubleshooting problems as they occur.

    I can tell you, though, how it is achieved so that you can do the troubleshooting on your own if you are adventurous (and skilled) enough to do so.

    1. Delete lines 32 - 35 of styles.css.
      2. #page { margin:0 5%; width:auto; }
    2. Delete "#site-index" from line 37 so that it reads:
      3. #page { width:960px; margin:0 auto; }
    3. Then, start putting out fires!

    2.) There are too many ways the database module can be configured for me to troubleshoot your particular problem. I will need either a.) a backup of the specific database you're having trouble displaying, or b.) (preferred) access to the database instance in question on your server. Oh, and please give me the browser you were using when you saw the problem.

    3.) Yes. Copy vitality, rename it, and change the image. Perfect. And, as long as the second instance is installed on the same Moodle installation, you are still in compliance with our license.

    Thanks Patrick. I've made the changes and it seems ok... so far... :-)

    Re the database module display, I'll create you an admin account and email you.

    Thanks

    Thanks Jon,

    The problems will occur in every popup screen, which must then be individually hacked via CSS to have a variable width. Good luck.

    Hey Jon,

    I've had a look at your site, and it is nearly impossible to tell what is causing your issue since the problem is only occurring in Internet Explorer and the problem is on your server and not mine.

    Anyway, I've isolated the problem to the Custom Corners engine since the problem persists even when viewed using the Custom Corners theme. Something in the markup that runs underneath your theme is not right.

    I will file a bug with Moodle for you. The progress will be tracked here.

    I'm sorry I cannot help you much beyond that.
