Install a theme (Manakin)

Files:

• new-theme-source (This directory holds the new theme's source code)
• dspace-src/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes/theme-dir (This will be the new location for the theme's source)
• dspace/config/xmlui.xconf

Instructions:

1. 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 dspace-src/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes/theme-dir
2. Open Manakin's configuration file, dspace/config/xmlui.xconf, scroll to the bottom and locate the <themes> element.
3. Add a new tag <theme> element inside the <themes> element as below: <theme name="My new theme" path="theme-dir">
4. If you wish to install this theme onto a particular community or collection then modify the new <theme> tag as: <theme name="My new theme" handle="123/1" path="theme-dir"
5. 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">

• Other Example regex values:
• regex="^$" (Theme for homepage ONLY)
• regex="^browse$" (Theme for all global "Browse By" pages)
• regex="community-list" (Theme for Community Listing page)

1. Restart Tomcat (See Quick Restart in Rebuild DSpace)

Notes:

• 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.
