PLEASE NOTE:

  1. Please make sure that the server is able to download software dependencies from the internet during the maven build process.
  2. If your interent is intermittent, then it is probably wise not to use the Mirage 2 theme, but rather stay with the Mirage 1 theme for better stability.
  3. It is assumed that you installed DSpace according to:

  4. Mirage 2 with DSpace => 5.X requires Ubuntu 14.04.

Update Regular Rebuild DSpace Script

If you want to use the Mirage2 theme permanently, then make sure to add the Mirage2 build switch to your DSpace rebuild script.

  • For example;
mvn -U clean package -Dmirage2.on=true

Step 4 - Activate Theme

  • Type the following:
nano $HOME/source/dspace/config/xmlui.xconf
  • Add the following to the "<themes>" section:
<theme name="Mirage 2" regex=".*" path="Mirage2/" />

Check that the "Mirage2" theme is the ONLY active theme and is NOT enclosed with <!-- .... -->.

Save and exit the file.
