Custom theme not available

[Terry Jeske, módosítva 12 év-val korábban]

I created a theme using the Liferay IDE based on the Classic theme. I deploy the theme to my server and it successfully deploys:

17:30:46,692 INFO  [AutoDeployDir:167] Processing BlueTest-theme-6.0.6.1.war

  Deleting directory /home/myhome/liferay/tomcat-6.0.29/temp/20120306173046698

When I go to manage the page, the Current theme shows as Classic, but there are no Available themes listed. If I choose "Install More" my theme shows up as an installed theme.

I followed the following instructions from a different post, and my theme is selectable for the default theme, but making it the default has no effect.

If you are using L6, you can set the default theme in control panel -> setting -> display settings ->
There you can set Default Regular Theme , Default Mobile Theme and Default Control Panel Theme.

My look and feel is as follows, and I am using LF 6.0.6

<look-and-feel>
	<compatibility>
		<version>6.0.6+</version>
	</compatibility>
	<theme id="BlueTest" name="BlueTest" />
</look-and-feel>

Any suggestions??

In the console you should have seen something along the lines of "BlueTest is available for use". If that's not there, that would explain it's being absent as a theme.

Thx for the reply, I accidentally missed the deploy part of the console dump. It appears to have deployed properly, but is not available.

So to see if loading any theme worked, I installed one from the repository. Once I did that BOTH the newly installed theme, and my custom theme showed as available. Seems like a bug, but at least there is a work around.

The "default theme" only applies to new pages/sites. We had to register our custom theme as default in portal-ext.properties before starting tomcat for the first time...
