Create a module profile

We can create a module profile or use the module profile from the ready-to-use IBM WebSphere Portal 8.0 theme. Modify the profile as needed by editing the profile_full.json file in the profiles folder. The value of resourceaggregation.profile in the metadata.properties file determines which .json file is loaded by default for your theme. The default profile for the WebSphere Portal 8.0 theme is profile_deferred.json, but use profile_full.json to update an existing theme.

1. Connect the WebDAV client to...
   http://localhost:10039/wps/mycontenthandler/dav/fs-type-1/

2. From the folder...
   themes\Portal8.0

   ...copy the profiles folder to the local drive.

3. Copy the local copy of the profiles folder into the fs-type1 folder for the theme.

4. Connect the WebDAV client to...
   http://localhost:10039/wps/mycontenthandler/dav/themelist/

5. From the folder for the theme, copy the metadata.properties file to the local drive.

6. Edit the local copy of the metadata.properties file. Change the contents of the file to:

   resourceaggregation.profile=profiles/profile_full.json
   

7. Copy the local copy of the metadata.properties file into the themelist folder for the theme.
