Renaming Theme Templates

You can rename the default filename of the theme template from theme.html. In the ready-to-use theme renaming the theme.html file is used to provide a different theme view for the administrative pages.

About this task

This change can be done selectively for individual pages by setting a page metadata called com.ibm.portal.theme.template.file.name.html. This setting is not inherited along the navigation hierarchy.

To set the theme template on a page, you must use the XML configuration interface (XMLAccess).

Procedure

  1. Export the page by using XMLAccess or by following the instructions in Exporting pages and labels.
  2. Edit the resulting XML file and add the following parameter to the content-node, replacing my_theme.html with your theme template file name. 
    <parameter name="com.ibm.portal.theme.template.file.name.html" type="string" update="set"><![CDATA[my_theme.html]]></parameter>
  3. Save the XML file.
  4. Import the page using XMLAccess or the Import XML portlet.
