How to get responsive design in Moodle 2.6 clean install

By -
Update: Moodle 2.7 is now using Clean theme by default, therefore this is not applicable anymore.

Moodle in their release page, mentions one of their new updated main feature is the responsive design. I am getting excited, because with this new responsive design, user experience will be enhanced as the site will be responding to the device screen resolution size.

But when I tried to install into my local development by downloading their latest stable release, the resolution is not changing based on the page size! Tried to access it using my mobile, and it still showing the same non responsive design.

Then I tried to look the setting, under appearance, to see whether I need to enable responsive design setting first, but no luck. I can not find this setting anywhere.

And then I tried to Google it. As this is a new release, so I still unable to find anyone that has the same problem as me (Or maybe it's just me being unlucky?)

After trying for some times, finally I realised the themes that Moodle use in their website is different than mine. The one that I downloaded has Moodle default theme and it looks a bit different. Tried to find the closest theme to the picture on Moodle website, and found out that it use Clean theme. After installed this theme, then the responsive is finally working. Even when I access this trough my mobile, the resolution change automatically.

I feel weird that Moodle showing responsive as their main feature, but the admin needs to change the theme first to get it working?

Hiren Boot CD is a superb all in one tools, that helps from regular user to the IT tech guys alot. If you boot this CD, you will find heaps of tools such as: mini windows XP, recovery, backup, partition, and other tools. But the problem is, if your optical drive is using SATA connection, sometimes Hiren's bootCD will required drive emulation as it only support ATA optical drive. The result: it won't be able to loads it's driver. So one way to solve the computer with SATA optical drive is by using Hiren in USB instead. In this post, I'll show you step by step on how I did it (credit goes to hiren.info for the information). Connect a USB Drive (256Mb or more). Right click the USB drive in Windows Explorer, and choose format (this step will destroy all the data inside the USB stick, so make sure you already have backup the data you need). You can tick quick format if you are sure the USB stick is still in a good condition, or just untick it if you afraid you have badsector...

Enable PHP opcache extension on Windows XAMPP

By -
If your XAMPP comes with PHP 5.5+ by default, opcache already included in the bundle, you will just need to enable it. To enable the extension: Open php.ini (by default it should be located here: C:\xampp\php\php.ini). Add this line at the end of the file: zend_extension = "C:\xampp\php\ext\php_opcache.dll" You will need to adjust the path if you installed XAMPP in non default location. Restart Apache server.
