Former Member

I created a new Portal Theme and now I want to add it to the default portal desktop. Here are the steps I am following:

1. System Administration-> Portal Display -> Desktops and Display Rules

2. Open the default portal deskop under Portal Content->Portal Users->Standard Portal Users->Default Portal Desktop. Right-click and select Open->Object

3. My new Portal Theme does not appear in the list of available portal themes to choose for the default.

Please tell me what I have to do so that the portal theme I created appears in the list.

Thanks.

Hi,

Choose System Administration -->Portal Display -->Desktops & Display Rules.

In the Portal Catalog choose Portal Content and navigate to your desktop and double click to open it.

You can also use the search tab to serach for your desktop.

After opening Desktop, also search for theme the same way and add it to desktop.

Ignore my last question. I probably only have the 'Delete' option because my portal theme is already added to the default portal page. I am still perplexed as to why I do not see my portal theme listed as one of the choices to select as my default portal theme.

When I right-click on my new theme, I only get the 'Delete' option. I do not get the 'Add theme to Portal Desktop' option. Do you know what security I am missing?

Thanks.

Hi,

create a new portal desktop

After opening the desktop,

you can find your created theme under system admin --> portal display --> under portal content --> expand theme folder.

Now add your created theme to the desktop.

Add your framework page & theme to the desktop & create master rule collection.

One more question and then I will reward points. Can I add my new Portal Theme to the default portal desktop object or do I need to create a new portal desktop?

Thanks.

You can ofcourse add your Theme to default portal desktop and also any other desktop if the business need exists.
