Bug Description

Currently users can select a theme to apply to their portfolio pages, but can't change the theme for the dashboard. I've been working on developing custom accessible themes for users, but individuals may benefit from being able to specify a default theme for all of their pages (not just portfolio) that would override institution default.
Thanks.

Hi Gordon,

Did you try 1.6 or 1.7? In 1.6 we implemented a theme chooser in the user's default settings: http://manual.mahara.org/en/1.6/account/account_settings.html#general-account-options

Would that be what you are after?

Cheers
Kristina

Hi Kristina,
I'm on 1.6 at the moment. When I go to the settings page it only displays the site default as an option - but if it's supposed to display all available themes installed on the site (as it does for normal pages) then I guess an administrator might have locked that down. I'll look into it.
Thanks, Gordon.

Di you change your config.php and include

$cfg->sitethemeprefs = true;

?

There are three different components in this wishlist item as far as I can see:

1. Be able to choose the default theme for new pages that a user creates if the institution allowed that users can choose a different theme for their pages.

2. Be able to choose the theme in which to browse the site. This is handled by $cfg->sitethemeprefs = true; I would say. If set to false, it only allows you to see the theme(s) of your institution(s).

3. Be able to choose the theme for your dashboard (but not affect group pages or individual pages I guess).

Which one are you aiming for, Gordon, or is there another? :-)
