Respondr Skinning Process
Documentation in progress. Base of documentation pulled from Respondr Skinning Process
- Copy and rename the defaultSkin/ and defaultSkin.less files in the Respondr directory (<uportal_dir>/uportal-war/src/main/webapp/media/skins/respondr/). ex: skin_name/ & skin_name.less
Edit the newly created <uportal_dir>/uportal-war/src/main/webapp/media/skins/respondr/skin_name.less file and change defaultSkin in the @import statements to skin_name:
/** DO NOT REMOVE THIS INCLUDE ****************/ @import "defaultSkin/less/variables.less"; /**********************************************/ @import "skin_name/less/variables.less"; @import "common/common.less"; @import "skin_name/less/skin.less";
Edit <uportal_dir>/uportal-war/src/main/webapp/media/skins/respondr/skinList.xml and add your skin. (for now, replace the defaultSkin with the skin_name)
<skin> <skin-key>skin_name</skin-key> <skin-name>skin_name</skin-name> <skin-description> Basic skin for the Respondr theme based on Twitter Bootstrap and Responsive Design </skin-description> </skin>
- Edit the <uportal_dir>/uportal-war/pom.xml and search for “defaultSkin.less” and change to skin_name.less
Edit the <uportal_dir>/uportal-war/src/main/data/default_entities/portlet-definition/dynamic-respondr-skin.portlet-definition.xml file and add:
<portlet-preference> <name>PREFdynamicSkinName</name> <value>skin_name</value> </portlet-preference>
- Edit the <uportal_dir>/uportal-war/src/main/data/required_entities/stylesheet-descriptor/Respondr.stylesheet-descriptor.xml file and replace defaultSkin with skin_name
- Do an “ant initdb” to apply the new changes in the data
- Do a ant clean deploy-war
Don’t forget to add the new skin to Git!
