Override layout in custom theme

[David Knol, modificado 7 Anos atrás.]

Hi,
I have created my own Liferay theme. Now I want to override some of the generic layouts (e.g. '2-columns-ii'). I've tried to follow official tutorial and use theme generator but after doing all steps a new layout is not visible in Liferay. So how can I override existing layout in my theme? Thanks in advance!

Ok, I've solved the problem. The case was to add fallowing code to 'liferay-look-and-feel.xml':

		<layout-templates>
			<custom>
				<layout-template id="2_columns_ii">
					<template-path>/layouttpl/custom/2_columns_ii.tpl</template-path>
					<thumbnail-path>/layouttpl/custom/2_columns_ii.png</thumbnail-path>
				</layout-template>
			</custom>
		</layout-templates>

Hi,
I am creating Liferay 7 theme with custom layout using yo following these guide:
https://dev.liferay.com/develop/tutorials/-/knowledge_base/7-0/creating-layout-templates-with-the-themes-generator-0

yo liferay-theme
yo liferay-theme:layout

Then I am adding the code as stated above.

<look-and-feel>
    <compatibility>
        <version>7.0.0+</version>
    </compatibility>
    <theme id="library-theme" name="Library Theme">
        <template-extension>ftl</template-extension>
        
        <portlet-decorator id="barebone" name="Barebone">
            <portlet-decorator-css-class>portlet-barebone</portlet-decorator-css-class>
        </portlet-decorator>
        <portlet-decorator id="borderless" name="Borderless">
            <portlet-decorator-css-class>portlet-borderless</portlet-decorator-css-class>
        </portlet-decorator>
        <portlet-decorator id="decorate" name="Decorate">
            <default-portlet-decorator>true</default-portlet-decorator>
            <portlet-decorator-css-class>portlet-decorate</portlet-decorator-css-class>
        </portlet-decorator>
        
        <layout-templates>
            <custom>
                <layout-template id="wide-search" name="Wide-Search Layout">
                    <template-path>/layouttpl/custom/wide-search-layouttpl/wide_search.tpl</template-path>
                    <thumbnail-path>/layouttpl/custom/wide-search-layouttpl/wide_search.png</thumbnail-path>
                </layout-template>
            </custom>
        </layout-templates>
    </theme>
</look-and-feel>

Theme has deployed successfully, but I still not see new layout in control panel. What should I do?

UPD: Then I create layout separately from theme, new layout is visible on new page creation, but not visible, when I edit the page.

Hi!

I'm having the same issue. Did you find any answer to the original problem, meaning that I want to keep my Layout template with the theme, and I'd like to be able to access it...

If you found any solution, please share it
