Bind the theme to the context root of the web app

1. Create file input.xml with the following content...

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   
   <request xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"  
            xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="PortalConfig_8.0.0.xsd" 
            type="export"  
            create-oids="true" >
   
       <portal action="locate">
           <skin  action="export" objectid="*" />
           <theme action="export" objectid="*" />
       </portal>
   
   </request>
   

2. Export all skin and theme definitions...
   cd PORTAL_HOME/bin
   xmlaccess.sh -user wpadmin -password foo -url hostname:10039/wps/config -in /path/to/input.xml -out output.xml

3. Edit output.xml and search for the title of the theme, such as Custom Theme.

   Scroll up to the line with the surrounding <theme> tag; it is likely the last <theme> tag in the file.

4. Modify it from:

   <theme action="update" 
          active="true" 
          context-root="/wps/defaultTheme80" 
          default="false" 
          domain="rel" 
          objectid="ZJ_MLSU3F54089F00IP6G7P3F10S5" 
          resourceroot="dynamicSpots">
   

   ...to...

   <theme action="update" 
          active="true"
          context-root="/customTheme" 
          default="false" 
          domain="rel" 
          objectid="ZJ_MLSU3F54089F00IP6G7P3F10S5" 
          resourceroot="dynamicSpots" 
          uniquename="customTheme">
   

   ...setting the correct context-root and uniquename for the theme.

5. Search for the title of the skin. Scroll up to the line with the surrounding <skin> tag; it is likely the last <skin> tag in the file.

   Modify it from:

   <skin action="update" 
         active="true" 
         context-root="/wps/defaultTheme80" 
         default="false" 
         domain="rel" 
         objectid="ZK_73OKBB1A088IE0I5O7IP2J0G77" 
         resourceroot="Hidden" 
         type="default">
   

   ...to...

   <skin action="update" 
         active="true" 
         context-root="/customTheme" 
         default="false" 
         domain="rel" 
         objectid="ZK_73OKBB1A088IE0I5O7IP2J0G77" 
         resourceroot="customSkin" 
         type="default" 
         uniquename="customSkin">
   

   ...setting the correct context-root, resourceroot, and uniquename for your skin.

6. Find the <theme> tag for the Portal 8.0 theme, it is likely the first <theme> tag in the file. Find and copy one of the <allowed-skin> tag lines, such as:

   <allowed-skin skin="ZK_CGAH47L00GJJ40IDC03MS13OS2" update="set"/>
   

   Find the <theme> tag for the customTheme theme, it is likely the last <theme> tag in the file. Paste the <allowed-skin> tag line in just above the <parameter> tags. Modify the skin parameter value identifier to be the identifier of the customSkin skin, which can be found in the objectid parameter of the <skin> tag of the customSkin skin, likely the last <skin> tag in the file, such as:

   <allowed-skin skin="ZK_N0IEGGC0I08PF0IDQ60O6310N4" update="set"/>
   

7. Update the skin and theme definitions...
   xmlaccess -user wpadmin -password foo -url hostname:10039/wps/config -in output.xml -out output2.xml

8. Edit the output2.xml file to verify the result is ok, and then delete the input.xml, output.xml, and output2.xml files.
