Template:SUNScholar

Replace all instances of XXX with the DSpace version number selected for installation.

Using modules overlay method

We will be using the "modules" method to create a custom theme.

The default folder is:

/home/dspace/dspace-1.8.2-src-release/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes/[custom-theme-dir]

You can replace "Mytheme" with a theme name of your choice for all of the following instructions.

Step 1 - Copy the "Mirage" reference theme to a custom "Mytheme"

Type the following to create your own custom theme folder and files using the reference "Mirage" theme.

mkdir /home/dspace/dspace-1.8.2-src-release/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes
mkdir /home/dspace/dspace-1.8.2-src-release/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes/Mytheme
cd /home/dspace/dspace-1.8.2-src-release/dspace-xmlui/dspace-xmlui-webapp/src/main/webapp/themes
cp -R Mirage /home/dspace/dspace-1.8.2-src-release/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes/Mytheme
Step 2 - Modify the "xmlui.xconf" file to use "Mytheme"

Type the following to go to your DSpace config directory.

cd /home/dspace/dspace-1.8.2-src-release/dspace/config

Type the following to edit the DSpace XMLUI config file.

nano xmlui.xconf

Add the following to "xmlui.xconf" file in the themes section using copy and paste with firefox and nano. Make sure to comment out all other theme references !!

Type the following to change directory to the "Mytheme" folder.

cd /home/dspace/dspace-1.8.2-src-release/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes/Mytheme

Modify the sitemap.xmap config file for your new theme by typing the following.

nano sitemap.xmap

Change the "theme-path" and "theme-name" parameters in the sitemap.xmap file using the "nano" editor.

<map:component-configurations>
    <global-variables>
       <theme-path>Mytheme</theme-path>
       <theme-name>Mytheme</theme-name>
