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." Open the
<THEME_HOME>/css/styles-layout.css
file using a text editor and add the following CSS code to the end of the file. Note the code comments to get an idea what each line of code does.Code Block language css /* Change the color of the header */ .header{ background:#002EB8; } /* Change the font of the menus, headings, labels etc. to Verdana. You give several fonts here to ensure maximum compatibility, if in case one font fails in a given browser/OS. Fonts will be applied in the order you list them. */ body,textarea,pre,.navbar-search .search-query{ font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, monospace, san-serif; } label, input, button, select, textarea{ font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, monospace, san-serif; } h1,h2,h3,h4,h5{ font-family: Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, monospace, san-serif; } /* To change the background color of the body */ body{ background:#D6DEF6; } /* To change the color of the buttons. Note that changing only the background color will not have a visual impact if you leave the gradients as they are */ .btn-primary { background-color: #800004; background-image: linear-gradient(to bottom, #cc0022, #cc0044); } /* To change the colour of the menus, navigation elements when they are clicked */ .menu-content .navbar .nav > .active > a, .navbar .nav > .active > a:hover, .navbar .nav > .active > a:focus { background:#F0F3FC; }
- 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.
...
- Save the
<THEME_HOME>
folder inside the<APIM_HOME>/repository/deployment/server/jaggeryapps/store/site/themes/fancy/subthemes
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 asfancy
, which is overridden by the sub themeancient
.Code Block "theme" : { "base" : "fancy", "subtheme" : "ancient" }
- Open the API Store and note the new theme applied to it.
Uploading through the Admin Dashboard
...
- 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 toancient.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.
