Apply the new theme to the Portal
Custom portal resources, such as themes and skins, are migrated automatically. The Portal 8.5 theme is also deployed when migration is complete. However, complete extra steps to apply the theme to the pages.
After migration, a new theme is available for us to apply to your Portal pages. The name of the new theme is "Portal 8.5." In addition, four new skins are available for the Portal 8.5 theme. For information about the new skins, see Skins in the Developing themes and skins section of the documentation.
Create a page and apply the theme
If we prefer to create a new set of pages and apply the theme, use the Manage Pages portlet or xmlaccess.sh. It is possible that some migrated themes allow for inline page creation, and Portal 8.5 would be an option to select in the process.
To use the Manage Pages portlet, complete the following steps:
- Click...
Administration | Portal User Interface | Manage Pages
- In the Manage Pages portlet, select the location in Portal to create the new page.
- Click New Page in the portlet.
- Define a name for the page and select the Portal 8.5 option from the Theme menu.
- After completing these steps, the new page with the Portal 8.5 theme is created.
We can also create a page with the Portal 8.5 theme using xmlaccess.sh. This process is helpful for scripting the process across multiple pages. There are samples for modifying Portal resources with the XML configuration. For more information about using xmlaccess.sh, see Sample XML configuration files.
When creating a new page and apply the Portal 8.5 theme, the new inline customization features are immediately available for use. Use the inline toolbar to create pages.
