In Boost Campus, activity navigation links become buttons #60

Dear Boost Campus developers.

I noticed a thing I then did undo in our Boost Campus child theme. The issue is that activity navigation items become buttons. But in Boost they are links.

I wonder if that is on purpose.

Hi @lucaboesch,

thanks for raising this issue.

Yes, this is done by purpose:

We did this for better recognizability, affordance and distinguishability. (Tracker issues https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-65972 | https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-65876 might be somehow related). We thought it would be good to have the activity / topic navigation designed differently from the specific activity internal navigation as they can occur close to each other.

I hope this answers your question. If you have any thoughts or comments, please let us know.

Just if you might wonder: Although we're eager to bring improvements into core, at that time, we were not able to this on top work, too. So it is only a feature of this theme.

Best, Kathrin

Ah, great. Maybe there will sometimes be a solution in core which fits us all better. There are too many buttons for my taste. I'll close this issue here.
