I am planning to put some themes that I have created to put it on Marketplace. Is there any section to add custom themes and layouts.

Hey Wasim, this is a great question! And the answer is yes, since themes and layout templates are true Liferay plugins (i.e. hot deployable) you can upload those like any other Liferay app.

We will have a separate section for themes and layouts.

I plan on doing a blog post about a Marketplace update later this week.

This is good news for me

The file that gets deployed will be a .lpkg which is pretty much a zip file of the different wars that you want deployed. So lets say you have a theme that needs particular layout to be deployed. you would add the dependencies in the liferay-plugin-package.properties by adding

Then you would include 1-3-1-columns-layouttpl.war and my-theme.war in the my-theme.lpkg file that gets uploaded to marketplace. I also hope to talk about the Resources Importer at the North American Symposium in Oct.

This this going to be officially documented in the Liferay.com's documentation section?

Hi Brad,

As per this link, we can upload *.war file, so will it automatically create LPKG file ?
