You could still do what samuel was saying, then in your vm files have it detect which color scheme is selected and then do the vm stuff that you needed to do.

RE: Deploying Theme and Layout in one WAR

2013-05-03T14:05:58Z

you still can embed a layout inside of theme. Take a look at zoe-brochure https://github.com/liferay/liferay-plugins/tree/6.1.x/themes/zoe-brochure-theme

If you wanted the layout to be a global one package the two war files inside a .lpkg file, it will deploy both war files that are contained inside of it.

RE: Import Compass

2013-05-01T20:46:38Z

I know extra.css has typically been for those browser prefixed css styles, so that's why it has the @import "compass" the other files we keep it straight SASS

RE: Import Compass

2013-05-01T20:25:42Z

It looks like in https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal/blob/master/portal-web/docroot/html/themes/_unstyled/css/portlet.css that sass compiles all the css files, but you only need to add @import "compass" if you plan to use compass.

RE: Import Compass

isn't the @import "compass" done in the custom.css file

RE: Developing Mega menu in navigation.vm template

2013-05-01T16:26:01Z

for the background image style you need to use ${image_folder} variable because even though you are referencing css since you are in the theme's template file you need to grab the url to the theme.

A mega menu that I worked on is viewable at http://worldimpact.org I used the page description for the text blurb and then a custom field to pages that would determine which column the nav item would be displayed in.

Since you are new to liferay I would recommend you read the developer guide located at: http://www.liferay.com/documentation/liferay-portal/6.1/development

Those instructions implied that the person is making a new custom theme, not one that has classic or welcome-theme as its parent.

RE: how to add document download link to menu item

Would you be able to create a hidden page, then add the Documents and Media Display Portlet then select the folder of file you want accessible, then you can manage the permissions.

RE: custom.css does not inherit

2013-04-05T15:52:49Z

I would recommend inheriting from _styled or ../sample-styled-minimal-theme from the liferay-plugins-sdk
Then you will have to copy over the custom.css file from sample-styled-minimal-theme then make your changes.

That is a great piece of code. Good to make note of that.

modify main.css file in your _diffs/css folder to include another css file.

this is what the liferay-look-and-feel.xml file should look like.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE look-and-feel PUBLIC "-//Liferay//DTD Look and Feel 6.1.0//EN" "http://www.liferay.com/dtd/liferay-look-and-feel_6_1_0.dtd">

<theme id="theme-id" name="Theme Name">
<settings>
<setting configurable="true" key="visible" type="checkbox" value="true" />
</settings>
</theme>
</look-and-feel>

to access the value in a theme .vm file use:

$theme_display.getThemeSetting('visible')
