Moodle Boost Campus child theme which is intended to get the full Boost Campus features but easy to change in color and adding additional SCSS for example for delivering several identical based themes for different users.
This theme has reached end of life.
This theme will not be upgraded for Moodle 4.x. Please consider using our successor theme_boost_union.
This plugin requires Moodle 3.11+
We implemented this Boost Campus child theme for easy delivering several identical based themes for different users.
Install the plugin like any other theme to folder /theme/boost_campus_child
See http://docs.moodle.org/en/Installing_plugins for details on installing Moodle plugins
After installing the theme, it does not do anything to Moodle yet.
To configure the theme and its behaviour, please visit: Site administration -> Appearance -> Themes -> Boost Campus Child.
There, you find multiple settings tabs:

This plugin does not add any additional capabilities.
This Boost Campus child theme is implemented with minimal code duplication in mind. It inherits / requires as much code as possible from theme_boost and theme_boost_campus. All settings and the entire design (SCSS - pre and post as well as the Raw SCSS part) is completely inherited from theme_boost_campus. So you get a functional and optical duplicate of your existing Boost Campus theme with the possibility to alter or extend it.
- Copy the directoy /theme/boost_campus_child to /theme/boost_campus_foo
- Search and replace the string "theme_boost_campus_child" within this directory with "theme_boost_campus_foo"
- Rename the file /theme/boost_campus_child/lang/en/theme_boost_campus_child.php to /theme/boost_campus_foo/lang/en/theme_boost_campus_foo.php
- Modify the strings "pluginname" and "configtitle" in /theme/boost_campus_foo/lang/en/theme_boost_campus_foo.php according to your needs

Please create pull requests on Github: https://github.com/moodle-an-hochschulen/moodle-theme_boost_campus_child/pulls
We are always interested to read about your feature proposals or even get a pull request from you, but please accept that we can handle your issues only as feature proposals and not as feature requests.
Due to limited resources, this plugin is only maintained for the most recent major release of Moodle as well as the most recent LTS release of Moodle. Bugfixes are backported to the LTS release. However, new features and improvements are not necessarily backported to the LTS release.
Apart from these maintained releases, previous versions of this plugin which work in legacy major releases of Moodle are still available as-is without any further updates in the Moodle Plugins repository.
There may be several weeks after a new major release of Moodle has been published until we can do a compatibility check and fix problems if necessary. If you encounter problems with a new major release of Moodle - or can confirm that this plugin still works with a new major release - please let us know on Github.
If you are running a legacy version of Moodle, but want or need to run the latest version of this plugin, you can get the latest version of the plugin, remove the line starting with $plugin->requires from version.php and use this latest plugin version then on your legacy Moodle. However, please note that you will run this setup completely at your own risk. We can't support this approach in any way and there is an undeniable risk for erratic behavior.
This child theme does not contain any strings which are visible to a Moodle student / teacher and it can't be translated on AMOS as it is not published in the Moodle plugins repository. In our point of view, translating this plugin is not necessary.
This plugin has not been tested with Moodle's support for right-to-left (RTL) languages. If you want to use this plugin with a RTL language and it doesn't work as-is, you are free to send us a pull request on Github with modifications.
