I am working through the new Liferay in Action book and am currently on the theme part of the book. The book has you create an empty theme and says that it will look like the "default". Well that is just not the case. The default theme (class) looks great and the empty theme...well, looks like a non-styled disaster.

I checked the build.xml file and I see this:


So instead of using the default classic theme it seems like it's using the _styled directory. I tried changing "_styled" to "classic", rebuild and redeploy but it did not appear to make any difference. What is the correct way to tell it to use the classic theme and then I will apply my "_diffs"?

Hi,

The step you follow is correct, only need change the properties value from _style to classic. You should have a problem with temporal files, to development you need change some properties in the portal.properties like this:

theme.css.fast.load=false
theme.images.fast.load=false
javascript.fast.load=false
javascript.log.enabled=true
layout.template.cache.enabled=false
browser.launcher.url=
last.modified.check=false
openoffice.cache.enabled=false
velocity.engine.resource.manager.cache.enabled=false
com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.cache.CacheFilter=false
com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.theme.ThemePreviewFilter=true


This parameters you find in portal-developer.properties. I hope this can help you.

Regards,

You are right. You just need to change it in build.xml.

Check attached war for your reference.
