3.1 missing fontawesome

[M4G1]

I´ve noticed a possible bug in the 3.1 version. The font fontawesome (ttf/woff/woff2) is not is not displayed and I get a 404. The URL to the font is: https://10.0.1.50/theme/font.php?theme=elegance&component=theme&font=fontawesome-webfont.woff2?v=4.4.0. If I change it to https://10.0.1.50/theme/font.php?theme=elegance&component=theme&font=fontawesome-webfont.woff2&v=4.4.0 (?-->&) the font is accessible. Is this some kind of bug in the theme or a misconfiguration of my system (Turnkey appliance)?

Hi @M4G1, are you sure you're running the latest version of the code? Look at #153 and, for the complete story, https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=325511.

Hi Matteo,

thank you for your quick response. I´ve just installed the newest version of the theme from the repository (2016080100) and it is still the same:

Is there something I need to adjust in the system (.htaccess / apache2.conf). I am currently not using htaccess and my apache2.conf is the default one.

I am using the Moodle Turnkey appliance.

Thanks, Matthias

Hi @M4G1, with "repository" do you mean here, github, or the Moodle Plug-ins? As a workaround you should enable the so called "Slash arguments", Administration > Site administration > Server > HTTP (https://docs.moodle.org/31/en/Using_slash_arguments), hoping that the appliance is properly configured to support it (never used).

Hi Matteo,

I mean the Github repository. Slash arguments is turned on by default in Moodle 3.1. What about the the argument itself at the end of the URL (?v=4.4.0). Why can I access the font if I change it to &v=4.4.0?

Thanks, Matthias

Good point (if it has been installed from scratch and not coming from un update)! I was in a hurry: did you already double check its configured value via http://hostname/path/to/admin/settings.php?section=http ?

If yes, in the next days I'll review the original PR to see why it looks like not compatible with Moodle 3.1: AFAIK $CFG->slasharguments is still there and you can change its value.

BTW, you can access the font when changing the URL since you're fixing the URL syntax by your own (https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=325511#p1308296).

Are we talking about the settings.php in var/www/moodle/admin/?

Thanks, Matthias

Not exactly, apologies for not being clear enough: you need to open it with your browser. If your Moodle instance is available at e.g. http://example.org/moodle you need to open the HTTP configuration settings by means of your browser pointing to http://example.org/moodle/admin/settings.php?section=http .

Sorry Matteo, I got it now. These are the HTTP settings:

Thanks, Matthias

Hi @M4G1, I'll try by myself in a 3.1 MDL env: at the moment, I cannot understand why your instance should deliver not-slash-arguments-friendly URLs, e.g.: https://10.0.1.50/theme/font.php?theme=elegance&component=theme&font=fontawesome-webfont.woff2?v=4.4.0, when slash arguments is checked. As a consequence of such unexpected behavior, ?v04.4.0 is there w/o & since $CFG->slasharguments is true.

HTH, Matteo

[M4G1]

Thank you very much for looking into this matter. I am looking forward to your reply.

Hi Matteo,

I´ve just reinstalled the appliance and an updated version of Moodle and now everything is working fine. Thank you for your quick responses and the effort.

All the best, Matthias
