Hi everybody,
is it possible to add a javascript/css from an addon to an existing backend theme. Case: I have created a plugin that provides various reports via portlets. Now I want to use the portlet logic to show those reports on different places like accounting, catalog a.s.o. Therefore I want the necessary JS/CSS files loaded for the whole theme - not for the plugin only. Long time ago I would have added those scripts via VisualThemeResource :) If possible I do not want to touch the original theme and I want to avoid creating a new plugin just for the purpose of providing those filed. Every idea would be highly appreciated. Best regards, Ingo |
Hi Ingo,
You may refer to documentation in themes.adoc[1]. Though I am not sure if this is the right solution, maybe you can create your own theme extending the existing one[2] HTH 1. https://github.com/apache/ofbiz-framework/blob/trunk/themes/docs/themes.adoc 2. https://github.com/apache/ofbiz-framework/blob/trunk/themes/docs/themes.adoc#extends-common-theme Thanks and regards, Aditya Sharma On Tue, Feb 16, 2021 at 5:58 PM Ingo Wolfmayr <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hi everybody, > > is it possible to add a javascript/css from an addon to an existing > backend theme. > > Case: I have created a plugin that provides various reports via portlets. > Now I want to use the portlet logic to show those reports on different > places like accounting, catalog a.s.o.

Hi Aditya,
I already create my own theme by extending an existing one. It works but I feel quite uncomfortable by creating a new theme for the purpose of adding a single .js file to an existing theme. I was hoping there would be a better solution and handle those things via the plugin. Thanks, Ingo -----Ursprüngliche Nachricht----- Von: Aditya Sharma <[hidden email]> Gesendet: Dienstag, 16.

Hi Ingo,
I'm not sure if I understand correctly, but you should be able to assign ressources through a component reference. Have you tried to use <property name="VT_FTR_JAVASCRIPT['add']" value="component://my-component/vendors/myspecialscript.js" /> <property name="VT_FTR_JAVASCRIPT['add']" value="/my-theme/vendors/myscript.js" /> in your Theme.xml? This works OOTB with ftl files, should also work with JavaScript, no?

Hi Michael,
that’s what I already did - and yes it works. I am looking for a way to add js/css files to the plugin and make it available in other application. Saying: "Common-theme here are some additional files" Something like: <VisualThemeResource visualThemeId="COMMON_THEME" resourceTypeEnumId="VT_HDR_JAVASCRIPT" sequenceId="12" resourceValue="/reporting/js/Chart.min.js"/> <VisualThemeResource visualThemeId="COMMON_THEME" resourceTypeEnumId="VT_STYLESHEET" sequenceId="10" resourceValue="/reporting/css/Chart.min.css"/> I have a plugin that provides two files - one css and one js. I would have to create, role-out and maintain the additionial theme just for the purpose of providing two files.

But... your plugin is a component as well, right? Just reference it like
I showed below. Your plugin's ofbiz-component.xml starts with <ofbiz-component name="my-plugin" ... location="webapp/my-plugin" ... Your Javascript is in plugins/my-plugin/webapp/my-plugin/vendors/myscript.js You reference it as <property name="VT_FTR_JAVASCRIPT['add']" value="component://my-plugin/vendors/myscript.js" /> in your Theme.xml All out of my mind but I think this should work.

:) That’s how I do it right now and it works - that’s fine.
Imagine I want to make the plugin availabe to the community. How will I do that? Upload the plugin + theme override? I made friends with the idea of using "portlets" for application dashboards. Defining them in one place and show them on different places/applications. Makes a few things easier to deliver custumizations to my customers. In my current case I need additional JS/CSS files required by some portlets. Nevertheless I guess I have to use the theme override solutions right now. Thanks for your time!!!

Hi Ingo,
I see. You want the theme to "visit" every plugin to pick up ressources which are meant to enhance the theme, right? Thats interesting but - to my knowledge - not implemented or possible to achieve OOTB. Sounds like a feature worth thinking about though.

Hello,
What I understand, your can cover your requirement through the decorator extended in your customized theme. By feedback it's more easier to manage each specificity through a dedicated theme that extend the common-theme (or other) instead inject some cross-functional dependencies. But I grant that, it's currently not easier because each framework screen doesn't have a decorator that we can extend. Nicolas On 19/02/2021 09:32, Ingo Wolfmayr wrote: > Hi Michael, > > yes.
