Add or removing a ready-to-use module to a theme

To add or remove a theme update the profile that defines the modules that we use to render a page for the theme .

A profile defines the modules used to render a page for a theme.

A pointer to the profile is set in the theme metadata.properties file. This property file is located in the profiles folder of the theme in the /themelist entry point of WebDAV. The following line is an example of pointing to the profile_deferred.json from a metatdata.properties file: :

resourceaggregation.profile=profiles/profile_deferred.json

The profiles are located in the profiles directory under the /themelist entry point. The profile file must be a valid JSON file. The following is an example of a valid JSON file:

{
  "moduleIDs" : [
   "wp_theme_portal_80",    
   "wp_portlet_css",    
   "wp_one_ui",    
   "wp_one_ui_dijit",    
   "wp_legacy_layouts",    
   "wp_client_ext",    
   "wp_status_bar",    
   "wp_theme_menus",    
   "wp_theme_skin_region",    
   "wp_theme_high_contrast",    
   "wp_layout_windowstates",    
   "wp_theme_edit",    
   "wp_project_menu",    
   "wp_preview",    
   "wp_portal",    
   "wp_analytics_aggregator"
  ],   "deferredModuleIDs" : [
   "wp_theme_widget", 
   "wp_toolbar", 
   "wp_project_menu_edit", 
   "wp_preview_menu", 
   "wp_tagging_rating", 
   "wp_liveobject_framework", 
   "wp_analytics", 
   "wp_federated_documents_picker", 
   "wp_content_mapping_picker", 
   "wp_pagebuilder_controls", 
   "wp_pagebuilder_dnd", 
   "mm_new_page_dialog", 
   "mm_builder_wiring", 
   "mm_move_page", 
   "mm_delete_page", 
   "mm_delete_control", 
   "mm_page_sharing_permission", 
   "wp_template_select_dialog"
  ],   "titles":[
   {
    "bundle":"nls.profile", 
    "key":"profile_deferred.title"
   }
  ],   "descriptions":[
   {
    "bundle":"nls.profile", 
    "key":"profile_deferred.description"
   }
  ]
 }

1. Open the profile file located in the /profiles directory.

   In the previous example, the profile_deferred.json file was defined in the metatdata.properties file.

2. Edit the .json file by adding or removing the specific module id.

3. Restart WebSphere Portal. Your changes are incorporated after the system restarts.

4. Optional: We can change the name of the profile after updating the .json file. Update the metadata.properties file with the new name of the profile. This change resets the server-side cache.
