Specify the name of a custom theme

After adding a custom community theme to the Communities configuration file, specify the name of the new theme by adding a custom string containing the theme label to IBM Connections.

To specify the name of a custom community theme.

  1. Create a properties file containing the string for the community theme name and add it to the customization directory for Communities. For instructions about how to name the file, see step 1 of the topic, Add custom strings for widgets and other specified scenarios.

    For example: customization/strings/com.ibm.lconn.communities.strings.ui.properties

    If we have an existing file in this location, add the new string to this file rather than creating a new file.

  2. Open the properties file from the customization subdirectory for Communities and add the name of the custom theme definedd in the <comm:displayNameKey> element in communities-config.xml.
    For example:

      label.theme.name.corporate=Corporate Theme

  3. Save the changes and close the properties file.

  4. To test the changes and to force all user web browsers to refresh cached content and display the changes, complete steps 5-8 of the topic, Customize product strings.

  5. Restart the Communities server.
