Colours course format
This course format, based on the ‘Topics’ standard format, allows a teacher to specify the foreground and background colours for each course section.
About
This format was created by Davo Smith of Synergy Learning , on behalf of Landesmedienzentrum Baden-Württemberg .
The main lib.php and formats.php files are only lightly modified from those found within the standard format_topics, the rest is new code.
Usage
This format is now compatible with Moodle 2.3 – make sure you download the appropriate version, based on which Moodle version you are running.
On the course settings page, choose the format ‘Topics format (colours)’.
Click on the ‘Edit colours’ icon (on the left of a course section) to edit the colours for that section.
Click on the ‘Copy colours’ icon (below the ‘Edit colours’ icon) to copy the colours from another section into the current section.
Note: only users with the capability ‘format/colours:editcolours’ (by
default, manager, coursecreator and editingteacher roles) can edit
course colours.
Note: This is compatible with the core Moodle Themes , but may not work
as well custom themes.
