Jorge Ferrer:

Of course, contributions in this area are very welcome

Jorge -

Will do once I figure out how to work with the new model. Once I finally start feeling slightly non-incompetent, you guys go changing things!

Hi Josh,

Once 4.3.0 final is released we'll work on getting more themes out. Not sure if they will be the same that were previously available or completely new, it hasn't been decided yet.

Of course, contributions in this area are very welcome

I haven't had a chance to play with RC2 yet, but I messed with RC1 a couple of weeks ago. The new themes are suh-weet. However, will there be other sample themes for us to look at? I have used many of the downloadable themes on the site as a basis of my own themes or for just the sake of learning. Will there be 4.3 versions of any of them?

Thanks,
Josh

Hi Tarun,

When Liferay startups it checks the database to find out which version of Liferay was previously running. Based on this information it runs (or not) an upgrade process. Version 4.3 can only upgrade previous 4.2.x installation and for those it does a complete update of the database starting with a migration of the database schema.

For detailed information on the steps taken during the upgrade take a look at the code of the class UpgradeProcess_4_3_0 and the ones it references. For example the schema update is done in UpgradeSchema

Hi Tarun,

One of the new features is an automatic db population and db upgrade process. That was not yet in RC2, but will be in final.

Hi Adam, Tarum,

There is a short tutorial in the wiki at http://wiki.liferay.com/index.php/4.3_Themes but we are already working in more detailed documentation.

Theme Tutorial?

2007-06-19T21:20:36Z

I'm a newbie and would like to develop a custom theme for my organization. I've already setup the extension environment. I can't find any tutorials for the latest version of LifeRay explaining how to create and package a theme. Are there any available?

Thanks.
