Liferay 6.1.1 Default theme on portal-ext.properties

[Carlos Martins, geändert vor 11 Jahren.]

Hello,

I've developed a theme with the id dev7, now I want to make it default for all pages through the portal-ext.properties, I'm using the following ones:

default.user.public.layout.regular.theme.id=dev7
default.user.private.layout.regular.theme.id=dev7
default.regular.theme.id=dev7
default.theme.id=dev7

But nothing seems to work.

If I install the theme through the Control Panel, the theme works correctly.

Any ideas?

Best regards,

Unless you modified the portal core to include your theme the theme id should contain also _WAR_mythemecontext. Notice the context doesn't have - so if your theme war is my-theme the ending would be _WAR_mytheme

Hi, thanks.

So, you're saying that the right properties are:

default.user.public.layout.regular.theme.id=dev7_WAR_dev7theme
default.user.private.layout.regular.theme.id=dev7_WAR_dev7theme
default.regular.theme.id=dev7_WAR_dev7theme
default.theme.id=dev7_WAR_dev7theme

Many thanks in advance.

Yes, those look to be in correct form.

Also be aware that themes set in portal-ext.properties are only default themes. If you've selected a theme from liferay's GUI, they will take precedence. I don't think there is a simple way to delete settings entered in to the database.

Hi Carlos,

If you want to set default theme from the Liferay's Control Panel then you can follow the following steps & you are done.

Go to Control Panel -> Site pages -> Click on Public Pages -> Regular Browser
Select your theme to which you want to make as a default theme.
Click on Save

It will make the selected theme as a default theme for the selected website.

I developed a theme based on the Liferay 6.1.1. Classic Theme, and all is working well. When I put portlets on the page, they have the default theme, however. How do I get portlets to render with my custom theme. I already went into Control Panel and set the theme site-wide as described above. Any info greatly appreciated!

Hi Elijah,

The theme that you have designed is basically for your site or I can say it can cover header, footer & middle section of the page but not the portlet. So if you want to add any styling to all the portlets then you can do this using your custom theme only. Try to override css given in portlet.css file. Like in my project I have added following lines in custom-ext.css file to override the styling given in the classic theme:

.portlet {
	border: 1px solid #C0C0C0;
	padding: 0px;
	-moz-border-radius: 0px;
	-webkit-border-radius: 0px;
	border-radius: 0px;
	margin: 0 0 5px;
}

.portlet-topper {
	background-image: url("../images/GreenCrescent/headerBG.png");
	background-position: center bottom;
	background-repeat: repeat-x;
	border: 0;
	border-bottom: 1px solid #C0C0C0;
	float: left;
	font-size: 17px;
	height: 49px;
	margin-bottom: 1px;
	width: 100%;
	box-shadow: none;
	-moz-border-radius: 0px;
	-webkit-border-radius: 0px;
	border-radius: 0px;
}

.portlet-title {
	color: #001C52;
	font-size: 17px;
	font-weight: normal;
	margin: 7px;
}

.portlet-content-container {
	background: url("../images/GreenCrescent/portletBG.png") repeat-x scroll
		center bottom #F6F5F5;
	clear: both;
	min-height: 100px;
	padding: 5px 10px;
	font-size: 11px;
	text-align: justify;
}

.portlet-topper-toolbar {
	margin: 7px;
}

.portlet-content {
	padding: 0;
}

.portlet-column-content {
	padding: 0;
	margin-top: 4px;
}

Please let me know in case you are still facing any issue.
