Is there an easy way to add a theme to a Mahara ePortfolio exported as HTML? It would be so useful...

I suspect the issue has something to do with the different behaviour of a browser accessing content on a server referencing a CSS file versus accessing a local set of nested folders, but is there a way around this, such as adding a local CSS file via relative link? Even manually, after the export?

Hi Don,

The way it's currently written, HTML export uses the "raw" theme for the basic styling of the page. (It does look like it tries to use the viewers current theme for the plugin stylesheets, if the theme overrides the style for those plugins, but that doesn't affect the basic look of the page.) I think it's technically possible, though. We just haven't had a chance to implement it.

There's been a wishlist bug about this in the tracker for 2 years now, so we'd welcome its development, but it's not currently on our roadmap: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mahara/+bug/739528

Cheers,

Hi Anis,

Having taken a quick look at the code I noticed that how the html theme is exported will need some changes to allow for which theme to export with which pages.
