Back to Mirage 2 Customisation

Introduction

Any folder you create in the following folder will be interpreted as a Mirage2 based theme:

$HOME/source/dspace/modules/xmlui-mirage2/src/main/webapp/themes

We have ten top level communities as faculties, therefore we need to create ten distinct themes, one per faculty.

Type the following;

cd $HOME/source/dspace/modules/xmlui-mirage2/src/main/webapp

mkdir -p themes/{01/styles,02/styles,03/styles,04/styles,05/styles,06/styles,07/styles,08/styles,09/styles,10/styles}

Now we have the style folders, the next step is to create the style file in styles folder.

First, we create styles template file;

cd tmp

nano _styles.scss

Copy and paste the following into the file

/**
* Faculty branding
**/

$brand-primary:          #76273c;
$brand-warning:          #ff7f00;

Now we copy the style template to each of the styles folders;

cd themes

for x in 01 02 03 04 05 06 07 08 09 10; do cp /tmp/_styles.scss $x/styles; done
