Hi everybody,

I have a problem with using my own portlet theme.

These are the steps i did so far:

  1. Create a new entry in the portal_element_themes table for the new theme:
    Insert
    into   portal_element_themes
    values (
            (
             select max(theme_id)+1 from portal_element_themes
            ),
            ' #new-portal.mannheim_theme_name# ',
            ' #new-portal.mannheim_theme_description# ',
            'themes/mannheimÂ’,
            'themes/mannheim'
           );
    
  2. Translate the tokens for different locales using the toggle translator mode
  3. Create Corresponding files inside the new-portal package under
    /www/unima0/packages/new-portal/www/themes
    File: mannheim-theme.adp
    Folder: mannheim-theme/
    
  4. Change the ACS Parameter
    -->Site-Map:New Portal Package parameter:
    default_theme_name	#new-portal.mannheim_theme_name#
    
  5. Change the settings under .LRN Site Wide Admininistration --> Portal Templates for Communities, My Space, Subgroups, Classes to the new theme.

But it still doesn't show when I go to My Space.

Can anybody tell me what goes wrong here?

Greetings,
Nima

Silly question: you did reboot, no?  The theme queries are cached ... and with .LRN there may be interactions with dotlrn-master, which is where all the .css is generated.
