Install a theme (Manakin)

(Redirected from Install a theme)

[new-theme-source] (This directory holds the new theme's source code)
[manakin-source]/themes/[theme-dir] (This will be the new location for the theme's source)
[dspace]/config/xmlui.xconf

If you are installing a brand new theme that is not distributed with Manakin then preform the following operations, otherwise skip to the next step.
cp [new-theme-source] [manakin-source]/themes/[theme-dir]
Open Manakin's configuration file, [dspace]/config/xmlui.xconf, scroll to the bottom and locate the <themes> element.
Add a new tag <theme> element inside the <themes> element as below: <p class="Example"><theme name=”My new theme” path=”[theme-dir]”/>
If you wish to install this theme onto a particular community or collection then modify the new <theme> tag as:<p class="Example"><theme name=”My new theme” handle=”123/1” path=”[theme-dir]”/>
If you wish to install this theme as the default theme then modify your new <theme> tag (make sure this tag is the last theme defined):
```
<theme name=”My new theme” regex=”.*” path=”''[theme-dir]''”/>
```
Restart Tomcat (See Quick Restart in Rebuild Manakin)

Themes are evaluated in the order they appear in the xmlui.xconf file. Thus, if the default theme is defined before any other themes then no other themes will be used.
