Changing theme of General Guest group?
Junior Member Posts: 29 Join Date: 1/17/06 Recent Posts
I have successfully changed the page content for the general guest community so that the page displayed shows only the login portlet.<br />However, I cannot figure out how to set the theme for that page.<br />If I open the portal, and see the guest welcome page, and do view-&gt;source, it appears as though the &quot;brochure&quot; theme is being used. I can&#39;t figure out how this is set. I&#39;d like to use a different theme.<br />In portal-ext.properties, I&#39;ve set the default.theme.id to my desired theme, which works for new users, but doesn&#39;t seem to work for the guest community.<br />Any ideas?<br /><br />BTW: what is login.jsp, and how does it relate to the login portlet?

Hi, you can do that following these steps:<br /><br />1. Login as Admin user.<br />2. Go to: <a href="http://localhost/c/portal/look_and_feel_forward?group_id=1" target="_blank">http://localhost/c/portal/look_and_feel_forward?group_id=1</a><br />3. Change the theme of guest group (guest group id is 1). <br /><br />I&#39;ve seen another post where you asked for the same thing and somebody answered that you can change the theme of groups by editing their pages, I can&#39;t see in my portal (3.6.1) any Look-and-Feel button when I edit pages of groups, isn&#39;t it strange? Maybe there&#39;s another version of liferay that you can this.<br /><br /><br /><br />

<br />That&#39;s pretty clever&#33; I won&#39;t asked how you figured that out. I eventually went into the database and manually edited the &quot;group&quot; table. That&#39; works too.<br /><br />

<br />I agree. The only look-and-feel button I see is the one that edits my own look-and-feel, not the group&#39;s look-and-feel.

<br /><br />The way to chage the look and feel of a group is to become a member of the group (in our case General Guest) nad then select from MyCommunities the group name. Now we can click the Look and Feel of the group as usual by clicking the look and feel button below the tab.
