Back to Mirage 1

Requirements

  1. Use port 80 and 443 as default on the Tomcat Java webapp server.
  2. Configure chosen UI as the default ROOT Java webapp.

Please see: http://wiki.lib.sun.ac.za/index.php/SUNScholar/Install_DSpace/S03

Make sure you have correctly "symlinked" to the source code, see step 3.2 in the link above.

Overlay Method

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

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

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

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

mkdir $HOME/source/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes
cd $HOME/source/dspace-xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes
cp -R Mirage $HOME/source/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes/
cd $HOME/source/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes
mv Mirage SUNScholar

Step 2 - Modify the "sitemap.xmap" file to use "SUNScholar"

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

cd $HOME/source/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes/SUNScholar

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

nano sitemap.xmap

Step 2.1

Change all the values of {global:theme-path} to SUNScholar.

Step 2.2

Change the "theme-path" and "theme-name" parameters to SUNScholar.

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

Step 3 - Rename the "Mirage.xsl" file to "SUNScholar.xsl"

Type the following.

cd $HOME/source/dspace/modules/xmlui/src/main/webapp/themes/SUNScholar

Rename the "Mirage.xsl" file to "SUNScholar.xsl" by typing the following.

mv Mirage.xsl SUNScholar.xsl

Step 4 - Modify the "xmlui.xconf" file to use "SUNScholar"

Edit the following file:

nano $HOME/source/dspace/config/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 !!

<theme name="SUNScholar" regex=".*" path="SUNScholar/" />
