table/report layouts in Moodle 4.0+

[rogiervandongen]

Hi Rogier,
The coupon block works fine in Moodle4 but just wondered: how can I get the admin reports section to fill more of the screen? With the new layout it's a bit squashed in the middle of the screen with loads of empty screen space where the collapsed drawers are. I would prefer to see the output fill the available screen space. I've had a look at the .css but can't figure out what needs to change to take advantage of the Moodle 4 layout. Any thoughts? I'm more than happy to share any solution I come up with but not sure where to start! Many thanks.

Well, I found a credible solution very quickly: create a custom Boost theme preset file (.scss) that overrides $course-content-maxwidth (the default set to 830px) with something more useful. I copied the Boost default.scss file and simply include an additional line setting $course-content-maxwidth to 80% and it works well for both the coupon block and course content.

Given that Moodle 4.0 is bound to evolve quickly with theme builders already at work, I think a preset file is a good short-term solution.

Cheers and thank you!
I've already applied similar patches in other projects but haven't gotten around to actually adding short term presets.
Hopefully some time soon (the time I did have was spent in separating the branches; getting CI to work correctly again; merging a massive change that was held back for quite some time. The new feature of "coursegrouping" coupons was more important in this case: effectively let's you choose X out of Y possible courses).

I'll leave this one open for the time being; until some presets have been added
