Theme path

A new feature in DSpace 1.5 is the ability to try out different themes on a particular page without having to mess with the xmlui.xconf file or needing to restart Tomcat. Two things need to be done in order to apply a theme to any page you are currently looking at.

  1. The following setting in dspace.cfg must be set to true: xmlui.theme.allowoverrides=true
  2. The "themepath" value should be appended to the end of the url. See examples below.
http://scholar.sun.ac.za/?themepath=Classic/
http://scholar.sun.ac.za/?themepath=Reference/
http://scholar.sun.ac.za/?themepath=Mirage/
http://scholar.sun.ac.za/?themepath=Kubrick/
http://scholar.sun.ac.za/?themepath=mobile/

Now check all themes rendering the discovery search page. 

http://scholar.sun.ac.za/discover?themepath=Classic/
http://scholar.sun.ac.za/discover?themepath=Reference/
http://scholar.sun.ac.za/discover?themepath=Mirage/
http://scholar.sun.ac.za/discover?themepath=Kubrick/
http://scholar.sun.ac.za/discover?themepath=mobile/
