Preserve people awareness features in a customized portal

If the portal has customized themes and skins, additional Cascading Style Sheets can be accessed by theme for proper operation of the People Finder portlet and Person tag. These styles are included by default in themes that shipped in WebSphere Portal v6.0 or later. If theme was originally created for WebSphere Portal V5.x, you can manually add these styles to theme by following the steps below.

For more information on customizing themes and skins, see Customize the portal.

To access the new CSS files, perform the following manual steps for each theme that supports an HTML markup:

  1. Determine the location where CSS files are linked into the <HEAD> section of the page.

      For most WebSphere Portal V5.x themes, this file is Head.jsp, and is located in theme's root directory. For more information on locating theme's directory, see Location of theme resources.

  2. Edit this file and search for content similar to the following content:

      <link href='<wps:urlFindInTheme file="Styles.css"/>'     rel="styleSheet" type="text/css">
      <link href='<wps:urlFindInTheme file="HelpStyles.css"/>'     rel="styleSheet" type="text/css">

  3. After the content in step 2, add the following content and save changes (type the content as a continuous line with no return character):

      <link href='<wps:urlFindInTheme file="LWP_Styles.css"/>'     rel="styleSheet" type="text/css">

  4. Touch the timestamp on the theme's Default.jsp file so it will be re-compiled by the JSP compiler.

      You can touch the timestamp by editing the file, adding a blank line, and saving it.

  5. Restart the portal server.
