- Create a new theme directory under uportal-war/src/main/resources/layout/theme and ensure there is a .sdf file describing your theme.
- The recommended approach here is to simply copy the universality theme and then modify it to fit your needs.
- Add the Theme to the uPortal database.
- This can be done via a .theme entity file. An example is the entity file for the universality theme: uportal-impl/src/main/resources/properties/db/entities/theme/DLM_XHTML-1.theme
- If you are starting with an empty database you simply need to edit the .layout and .fragment-layout files so that the <theme name=""> entry in the <profile> section matches the name in your .theme file.
- If you have existing users you will need to run SQL to update their profiles to point to the ID of the theme you imported via the .theme file.
