Page Comparison

A theme consists of UI elements such as logos, images, copyrights messages, landing page text, background colors etc. WSO2 API Store comes with a default theme.

...

Because a main theme already has most of the UIs and the syntax and logic of Jaggery code defined, in a typical scenario, you do not have to implement a theme from scratch. Rather, you just add in your edits as a sub theme of the existing main theme as given below:

Download the default main theme from here, unzip it and rename the folder according to the name of your new theme (e.g., ancient). Let's call this folder the <THEME_HOME>.
To change the logo of the API Store, replace the logo.png file inside the <THEME_HOME>/images folder with this logo (or anything else of your choice.)
To change the copyrights note in the footer, open the <THEME_HOME>/templates/page/base/template.jag file using a text editor, search for the word "Copyright" and change the text. For example, let's add our company name as "copyright", "© Copyright 2011 – 2014 My Company."
To change the header's background color, open the <THEME_HOME>/css/styles-layout.css file using a text editor and add the following CSS rule to the end of the file. It changes the header color.
Code Block
language css
.header{ background:#7e3330; }
As you plan to upload this as a sub theme of the default main theme, delete all the files in your <THEME_HOME> folder except the ones that you edited. The rest of the files will be automatically applied from the main theme.

...

Once you are done modifying the new theme, add it to the Themes menu in the API Store along with a thumbnail image as follows:

Open the <APIM_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/store/site/themes/fancy/templates/user/login/template.jag file and find the HTML table that defines the theme thumbnails.

Add a new row under the <table> element with the following code. It adds thumb-ancient.png as the thumbnail image of our theme. Be sure save the image in the ...fancy/images folder.

Code Block

language	xml

<td>
    <div class="thumbnail <% if(jagg.getUserTheme().base == "fancy" && jagg.getUserTheme().subtheme == "ancient") { %>currentTheme<% } %>">
        <a data-theme="fancy" data-subtheme="ancient" class="badge themeLabel" onclick="applyTheme(this)">
             <img src="<%=jagg.getAbsoluteUrl(jagg.getThemeFile("images/thumb-ancient.png"))%>" />
             <br /><div class="themeName">Ancient</div>
         </a>
    </div>
</td>

Setting the new theme as the default theme

You can set your new theme as the default theme in two ways:

Saving directly in the file system

If you have access to the file system,

...

do the following:

Save the <THEME_HOME> folder inside the <APIM_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/store/site/themes/fancy/subtheme folder. This will make your new theme a sub theme of fancy.
Open the <APIM_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/store/site/conf/site.json file and add the following code to it. It specifies the base theme as fancy, which is overridden by the sub theme ancient.
Code Block
"theme" : { "base" : "fancy", "subtheme" : "ancient" }
Open the API Store and note the new theme applied to it.

Uploading through the Admin Dashboard

If you do not have access to the file system, you can upload the theme through the Admin Dashboard Web application as shown below:

Go inside the <THEME_HOME> folder, select all the folders inside it and right click to archive all the selected files and folders together. Then rename the archive files to ancient.zip.
Log in to WSO2 Admin Dashboard Web application using the URL https://<Server Host>:9443/admin-dashboard.
For example, if you are a WSO2 Cloud user and want to upload a new theme, log in to the URL api.cloud.wso2.com/admin-dashboard with the user name as email@domain with the @ in the email replaced by a dot (e.g., john.gmail.com@MyCompany).
Click the Upload Tenant Theme menu and upload your zip file.
Open the API Store and note the new theme applied to it.
