Theme migration from 6.0 to 6.1? Theme deployment fail

[12年前 に Aaron Paxson によって更新されました。]

I can't seem to find any docs on migrating custom 6.0 themes to 6.1. I upgraded my 6.0.6 installation to 6.1. When I add my theme, I get:

15:39:07,948 INFO  [PluginPackageUtil:1099] Reading plugin package for MyTeneo_Theme-theme
15:39:08,364 INFO  [ThemeHotDeployListener:172] Registering themes for MyTeneo_Theme-theme
15:39:08,369 ERROR [ThemeLocalServiceImpl:488] Themes in this WAR are not compatible with Liferay Portal Community Edition / 6.1.0
15:39:08,370 INFO  [ThemeHotDeployListener:105] 0 themes for MyTeneo_Theme-theme are available for use

Since this is a portal instance, I cannot access the site. It does an infinite redirection. I'm guessing because the theme isn't deployed, but I can't access it to change the theme.

My log file fills up with:

15:48:28,012 WARN  [ThemeLocalServiceImpl:149] No theme found for specified theme id MyTeneo_Theme_WAR_MyTeneo_Themetheme. Returning the default theme.
15:48:28,013 ERROR [ThemeLocalServiceImpl:173] No theme found for default theme id MyTeneo_Theme_WAR_MyTeneo_Themetheme. Returning a random theme.

Anyone know how I can migrate my theme, or tell Liferay that it's a 6.1 theme?

Thanks!

Hi Aaron,

In the WEB-INF foder of your theme there is a file "Liferay-look-and-feel.xml"

In the Liferay-look-and-feel.xml file you set some properties for the theme and also what server version it is ment to run on.

<!--?xml version="1.0"?-->


<look-and-feel>
	<compatibility>
		<version>6.1.0+</version>
	</compatibility>
	<theme id="THEMEID" name="THEMENAME" />
</look-and-feel>

In here you see that it states to run on 6.1.0+ so on a 6.1 or higher server.

This should do the trick for you

	</compatibility>
	<theme id="THEMEID" name="THEMENAME" />
</look-and-feel>

Thanks Maarten! This definitely let Liferay deploy my theme. But, now I'm getting some vm template errors. Do you know if 6.1 changed any Velocity stuff? It could have just been a bad upgrade. I rolled everything back to get my site running again, and will try again later.

Hi Aaron,

Let me know what errors there where in your VM files. There should not be any if the original ones where at least from a version 6.0.
If they where from a Liferay 5 then yes upgrading would be wise.

Best,
Maarten

Hi Aaron,

Sorry I see you are migrating from 6.0 to 6.1.

Let me know what error messages you got while running the theme on 6.1

best,
Maarten

There are a couple of things. First, on my template:

ERROR [error_jsp:423] javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: org.apache.velocity.exception.MethodInvocationException: Invocation of method 'include' in class com.liferay.taglib.util.VelocityTaglib threw exception java.lang.NullPointerException at MyTeneo_Theme-theme_SERVLET_CONTEXT_/templates/portal_normal.vm[line 99, column 8]

Which equates to my last line: $theme.include($bottom_include)

I also get the following from my hook plugin:

WARNING: Failed to process TLD with path [http://java.sun.com/portlet_2_0] and URI [/WEB-INF/tld/liferay-portlet.tld]
java.net.MalformedURLException

Any suggestions? Because of this, I cannot load the portal in a browser.

Thanks!

Hi Aaron,

The "_SERVLET_CONTEXT_/templates/portal_normal.vm" error is known and there is a hack to solve this.

In your portal-ext.properties you can set the following:

hot.deploy.listeners=\
com.liferay.portal.deploy.hot.PluginPackageHotDeployListener,\
com.liferay.portal.deploy.hot.HookHotDeployListener,\
com.liferay.portal.deploy.hot.PortletHotDeployListener,\
com.liferay.portal.deploy.hot.ThemeHotDeployListener,\
com.liferay.portal.deploy.hot.ThemeLoaderHotDeployListener,\
com.liferay.portal.deploy.hot.LayoutTemplateHotDeployListener,\
com.liferay.portal.deploy.hot.MessagingHotDeployListener

This ensures that the theme is loaded before the layout and so the servlet context is registered.

Best,
Maarten

I migrated my theme project as follows. I ran create.bat giving the name and description of my theme in 6.0.6. then I added all the remaining files. I called ant deploy and got the following message on console:

I wonder why I got this message: Themes in this WAR are not compatible with Liferay Portal Community Edition / 6.1.0

What should we be aware of when we migrate our themes from 6.0.6 to 6.1? Should I make a different post?

Thank you in advance!

In your theme/docroot/WEB-INF/liferay-look-and-feel.xml file, what do you have listed in the <version> element?

[12年前 に MICHAIL MOUDATSOS によって更新されました。]

<version>6.0.5+</version>

Doesn't this mean 6.0.5 and above?
Does this concern only 6.0.x that are above 6.0.5 or any version?

[12年前 に David H Nebinger によって更新されました。]

It should mean that the theme is compatible with anything greater than 6.0.5, including 6.1...

You could try changing it to 6.1.0+ and see if that fixes your compatibility message...

[12年前 に MICHAIL MOUDATSOS によって更新されました。]

yep, that was it! Thank you very much!
(However it is a bit rediculous, isn't it?)

Deployment finished normally. Then I got some other errors (complaints about a .vm file) which I later found that they where upgrade-related and as I have stated here they disappeared when I tried my upgrade with a portal-ext.properties file which contained the minimum required info (conection credentials and company info).

So, thanks again!

ERROR [error_jsp:423] javax.servlet.ServletException: javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: org.apache.velocity.exception.MethodInvocationException: Invocation of method 'include' in class com.liferay.taglib.util.VelocityTaglib threw exception java.lang.NullPointerException at MyTeneo_Theme-theme_SERVLET_CONTEXT_/templates/portal_normal.vm[line 99, column 8]

Thanks!

I got this exact error. Here is how I fixed it.

1. Create a new theme in the 6.1 SDK.
2. Change the build.xml so it inherits from "classic" not "_styled".
3. Drop your "_diff" changes from your old theme into the new one.
4. Build and deploy.

Step #2 held me back and gave ne your error.

This is probably pretty rare but I was receiving the same error when someone had set all the pages to "hidden" in my site. The $include(bottom was throwing the error.

[11年前 に Vanita Chawla によって更新されました。]

This was very helpful. I ensure one of the pages on the site was not "hidden" and the error stopped. We were getting the error only as the omni admin user upon login and search. Thanks to the thread and Brian's post, we are able to resolve it.
