Themes

[Mansour]

I have followed the doc at
http://docs.ofbiz.org/display/OFBIZ/Visual+Themes+-+How+to

I tried to implement a new theme, then tried to deploy the existing one
on that page. I can not see any changes. I logged to ofbiz installation
at https://host:8443/partymgr/control/LookupVisualThemes
But can not see any of the new themes that I added ! I have ran "ant
run-install" then "ant run". Is there anything I am missing ?

Hi Mansour,
I have updated the "chrome" theme in the Gallery.
Now, when you install it, you will be able to select the new theme.

In any case I have seen that there are still problems in the "chrome" css file.

Bruno:
Thank you it's working now, but I couldn't understand what was wrong
with it. I ran diff just to see what you have changed, and find out what
am I doing wrong:


]$ diff chrome vt_chrome
Common subdirectories: chrome/data and vt_chrome/data
Common subdirectories: chrome/includes and vt_chrome/includes
diff chrome/ofbiz-component.xml vt_chrome/ofbiz-component.xml
21c21
< <ofbiz-component name="chrome"
---
 > <ofbiz-component name="vt_chrome"
31,32c31,32
<     <webapp name="chrome"
<         title="chrome"
---
 >     <webapp name="vt_chrome"
 >         title="vt_chrome"
35,36c35,36
<         location="webapp/chrome"
<         mount-point="/chrome"
---
 >         location="webapp/vt_chrome"
 >         mount-point="/vt_chrome"
Common subdirectories: chrome/webapp and vt_chrome/webapp

vt_chrome is the older theme directory. I don't see any significant
changes, but it's working ! Do you have any comments that will help me
finding out what was wrong with the previous one ?

Ok, I think I know what I was doing wrong. I was using
visualThemeSetId="ECOMMERCE". I should have used  
visualThemeSetId="BACKOFFICE"

However, I am unable to find any docs about how to change the ecommerce
theme or how to control the default themes for both, ecommerce and the
backoffice.
I will appreciate any pointer in the right direction.

Mansour,
you are right.
What was missing in the theme that was in the gallery was the
visualThemeSet property.
This has been added after the theme was created and I have now updated.

As you have seen the BACKOFFICE themes can be selected using the
VisualTheme link in the header.
The ecommerce theme can be selected in the associated Store edit screen.
https://demo.hotwaxmedia.com/catalog/control/EditProductStore?productStoreId=9000

You will find a VisualTheme drop down.

Thank you Bruno:
I found it and was able to configure it. However, it's stil unknow to
me, the location of the default theme or the place where I can configure
the default theme I can see there's two themse under teh theme
directory:

bluelight (backoffice)
multiflex       (ecommerce)
chrome          (added for backoffice)
myNewTheme

But where is the default, and in which "file" I can configure it so that
the new deployment contains the theme I want by default ?
