How to setup a user tour in Moodle

Posted on 18 January, 2017 by Admin

User Tours is a new feature in Moodle 3.2. It’s typically used to onboard and engage new users by guiding them through essential parts of the site. In this tutorial we will show you how to setup a basic tour.

Step 1

Log into your Moodle site as an admin user, and navigate to the “User tours” option under the Administration block: Site administration > Appearance > Themes > User tours

Step 2

On the Tours page click the “Create a new tour” link.

You will be prompted to enter some basic settings about the tour you are creating. You can get help about each setting by clicking the question mark icon next to it.

For this tutorial, the tour we are creating is going to be displayed on the “My dashboard” page for all users.

Step 3

Now you’ve created the tour, you should see it listed in the Tours table. However, at this point the tour is empty so you still need to add some steps to it.

Click the Tour name or the magnifying glass icon and you will arrive on the tour’s settings page where you can add steps.

For the demo, we are going to add 3 steps as shown in the figures below. You can compare the step settings with the final results.

Tour Step 1 – A welcome modal displayed in the middle of the “My Dashboard” page

Tour Step 1 Settings

Tour Step 1 Modal

Tour Step 2 – A modal displayed right under the CSS selector “.usermenu”

Tour Step 2 Settings

Tour Step 2 Modal

Tour Step 3 – A modal displayed under the “Navigation” block

Tour Step 3 Settings

Tour Step 3 Modal

Hopefully this tutorial gives you some idea of how the tours feature works. By default the tour will be shown to your user only once and you need to manually force the tour to be shown again by clicking the “force the tour to be displayed” link as shown in the figure below:

Are you looking for a professionally designed Moodle theme? We just released a brand new Moodle theme “Labland” which is designed for businesses and government organisations. Like our other premium themes, Labland is built based on the popular Bootstrap 3.x framework so you can take advantage of all the useful components/widgets provided by Bootstrap.

Live Demo

Below are some main features of the theme:

Logo and tagline

You can upload your own logo and provide a tagline as shown in our demo.

Theme frontend:

Theme settings:

Frontpage Fullscreen hero slideshow

You can add up to 4 hero images with relevant content text and links. Hero images are a great way to capture your visitor’s attention and provide a great first impression.

On top of the hero images you also have the option to overlay useful links and information:

Promo badge:

This is an eye catcher. You can use it for announcing news or course sales Theme frontend:

Theme settings:

Upper overlay:

This overlay can accommodate your site’s contact info and social media links.

Theme frontend:

Theme settings:

Lower overlay:

This overlay allows you to add up to 4 quick links with icons. You can choose from 600+ FontAwesome icons. It’s a great way to provide quick access points to other parts of your site.

Theme settings:

News and updates section

You can add up to 3 items. This is a good area to list site news or announcements. Again there are 600+ FontAwesome icons available for you to use.

Theme frontend:

Theme frontend:

Theme settings:

Footer Content Blocks

You can add up to 3 blocks in the footer area. If you’d like to create something similar to our demo site you can check out the tutorial here.

Theme frontend:

Theme settings:

Custom CSS

Want to customise the look and feel of the theme to suit your branding? For advanced users you can always use the “Custom CSS” input field to override the default theme styling.

Tip: Please do NOT change the css files in the theme folder directly as you will lose all of the changes when a new version of the theme is out. The best way to do any customisations is to use the “Custom CSS” field. That way you won’t lose your customisations after upgrading the theme in the future as all the data is stored in your database.

We have only listed some major features of the theme in this post. For a comprehensive list please check out to the theme details page.

How to make Moodle custom menu link open a new browser window

Posted on 23 January, 2016 by Admin

By default Moodle will open custom menu links in the current browser window, which works well if all of your custom menu links point to pages inside your Moodle site. However, if you’d like to point to an external link (eg. your organisation’s official website), it’s best to make the link open a new browser window/tab. That way your users are not being taken away from your Moodle site after clicking the link.

Below are the steps you can follow to make your custom menu links open in a new browser window.

Step 1

Log in to your Moodle site as an admin user, and navigate to the “Theme Settings” option under the Administration block: Administration > Site administration > Appearance > Themes > Theme settings

Step 2

Find the Custom menu items section and add "target="_blank after the desired link target URL.

The figure below shows how we make all of the external links in our Moodle demo open new windows.

You can try our Moodle demo to see the menu behaviour yourself.

How to Enable User Signup in Moodle

Posted on 16 December, 2015 by Admin

By default, Moodle’s email-based self-registration is disabled. If you’d like to allow your users to sign up to your site via email, you need to enable the option manually. In this tutorial, we will show you how to achieve this in 3 simple steps.

Users can sign up to your site via the login page after the option has been enabled:

Step 1

Log in to your Moodle site as an admin user, and navigate to the “Manage authentication” option under the Administration block: Administration > Site administration > Plugins > Authentication > Manage authentication

Step 2

Under the “Available authentication plugins” section, find the “Email-based self-registration” and enable the plugin by activating the eye icon.

Step 3

Under the “Common settings” section, find the “self-registration” dropdown and change the option from “disabled” to “email-based self-registration”

That’s it. Now your users can signup to your site.

If you’d like to customise the signup form, you can go to the “Email-based self-registration” page to do that: Administration > Site administration > Plugins > Authentication > Email-based self-registration

Moodle Theme Tip: How to make the testimonial carousel cycle automatically in the Gourmet theme

Posted on 23 May, 2015 by Admin

The product listed in this blog post is deprecated and no longer available.
Looking for a Boost-based Moodle theme? Checkout our new products.

In our responsive Moodle theme Gourmet, there is a testimonial carousel section and the testimonials can be played manually. If you want to have the testimonials cycle automatically as shown in the figure below, you can make a small change in the theme JavaScript.

Step 1

Open the theme JavaScript file in your text editor.

Gourmet > JavaScript > main.js

Step 2

Find the line: $('#testimonials-carousel').carousel({interval: false, pause: "hover"}); and change the value of “interval” from “false” to a number.

The number is the time (milliseconds) to delay between automatically cycling a testimonial item. For example, if you want the cycling interval to be 5 seconds, the number you enter should be 5000.

Moodle Theme Tip: Disable the YouTube’s video suggestions so visitors stay on your site

Posted on 17 May, 2015 by Admin

Our Moodle theme Herald’s landing page has a video section where you can add a YouTube video to promote your site. You can add your video via the theme settings page by entering the YouTube video ID. By default YouTube will display suggested videos after the video finishes (as shown in the figure below).

If you don’t want your visitors to get distracted by those suggested external videos you might want to disable the suggestions. To do that you can simply add ?rel=0 right after your YouTube video ID as shown in the figure below.

How to add responsive videos in Moodle themes Gourmet and Herald

Posted on 14 February, 2015 by Admin

We have added responsive video support in our Moodle themes Gourmet and Herald so you can embed fully-responsive Youtube/Vimeo videos to your courses with ease.

In this tutorial we will show you how to make your videos responsive in Moodle.

You can check the final results in our demos:

Step 1

Find your desired video in Youtube or Vimeo and get the embed code.

Get the Youtube video code:

Click the “Share” link under the Youtube video then select the “Embed” tab.

Get the Vimeo video code:

Click the “Share” icon on top of the video to open the share popup. The code you need is in the “Embed” box.

Step 2

Go to your Moodle course and turn editing on. Add a “Label” via the “Add an activity or resource” popup.

Step 3

Turn on the HTML Source Editor for the “Label text” input field by clicking the HTML icon in the editor menu.

Paste in your Youtube/Vimeo code and wrap them inside of a DIV with CSS class name “video-container” like shown in the screenshots below.
