Liferay 7 theme development

[Syed Nasar, geändert vor 7 Jahren.]

Hi ,
I got stuck in liferay 7 theme developing. I want to know whether there is easy way to create theme rather than this.

In addition, is there any way to create theme using plugin sdk as liferay 6.2?

Not sure about the different approach . But it better to use new approach .

Hi Nasar,

I believe you can use the old way of building theme, e.g. with maven or ant (sdk) based tools.
Then just deploy the war file, it should be converted to an osgi bundle by Liferay itself.
I have not tried it, however. Perhaps the better question is - what does not work with the new way?

Probably not. For starters, Velocity is deprecated. Check https://dev.liferay.com/develop/tutorials/-/knowledge_base/7-0/upgrading-themes.

Hi Boris,

Thank you for the suggestion.
After many struggle, at last I developed theme using ant and deployed successfully.

1.Setup liferay 7 plugin sdk
2. Inside folder \plugin sdk\dependencies\com.liferay.css.builder \lib , put jars like "com.liferay.frontend.theme.unstyled",etc.
3.In build-common.xml, mention this jar.
4.change ftl to vm in liferay-look-and-feel.xml
5. deploy.

I was wondering the same thing, whats the point of having a developer studio if we cant use it to create the most important feature . I think its temporary.
