Customize the look and feel of Lombardi Process Portal
The design of Lombardi Process Portal is controlled by Cascading Style Sheet (CSS) files grouped together in a skin. You can create and use a custom skin if you want to change the look and feel of Lombardi Process Portal to reflect your corporate identity.
Follow these steps to apply a custom skin as the default skin:
- Make a back-up copy of the existing portal.war file, and then shut down the Lombardi servers. The portal.war file resides in the [Lombardi_home]/[process-center|process-server]/portal-app directory.
Locate the default skin in [Lombardi_home]/[process-center|process-server]/portal-app/portal.war/skins/Leapfrog.
Previous default skins are available in the Default and Gray directories in [Lombardi_home]/[process-center|process-server]/portal-app/portal.war/skins.
Make a copy of the Leapfrog directory.
- Customize the images and CSS files within the copied directory as needed.
Ensure the original Leapfrog skins directory remains in tact and only make changes in the copy.
- Save your changes to the CSS files and images.
Copy the portal-theme tag from the [Lombardi_home]/[process-center|process-server]/config/system/99Local.xml file to the [Lombardi_home]/[process-center|process-server]/config/100Custom.xml file.
Change the portal-theme tag to match the directory name that contains the new custom skin and save your changes.
For example, if you simply want to change to the previous default skin, you can set the tag as follows: <portal-theme>Default</portal-theme>
Run [Lombardi_home]/[process-center|process-server]/portal-app/redeploy-portal [.cmd or .sh]
- Restart Lombardi servers and start Lombardi Process Portal to see your new design.
