Re: [uportal-dev] uPortal 4.0 Skin/Theme Changes

So I was just confused :) The user's structure/theme preferences are imported/exported via their profile. Here is the .profile.xml file for the admin user who changed to the ivy skin:


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<name>HTML browser profile</name>
<fname>default</fname>
<description>A sample profile for common web browsers</description>
<structure name="DLMTabsColumns"/>
<theme name="DLMXHTML">
<parameter>
<name>skin</name>
<value>ivy</value>
</parameter>
</theme>
</profile>

You should be able to change the username attribute to guest, and value for the skin attribute to your new skin name and import that file to make the change.

It should be able to be specified as part of the guest.layout.xml file. I just tried to change the admin user's skin and export the layout as an example in 4.0.1 but I just hit a export bug. I'm going to get that fixed and then should have an example of how to specify the skin for a user in the layout.xml file.

    Hi All,

    I have a problem that I was hoping someone can help me with.  I
have a newly created uPortal 4.0.0 skin for uPortal. Unfortunately, I can't figure out how to change the skin for the
    guest user.  Here is what I have tried:

    1) In the past I have added this user and then used the
    impersonate user to change to the guest account.  Select the
    desired skin and restart.  In 4.0.0, I can't add the user.  If I
    try to impersonate the user, I get uportal errors (No layout node
    exists for id u20l1n7 of window 40_u20l1n7_14).

    2) Tried the data-import command but still the same error.

    3) Changed portal.properties to set the
    org.jasig.portal.security.PersonFactory.guest_user_name property
    to student.  Restarted the portal.  Still using the default
    skin.  Even though when I login as the student user, I see a
    different skin.
4) Changed the skin for the student-lo user. Restarted uPortal. Still the default skin.
    I have no other ideas at this point on how to get the
    unauthenticated (guest) view to update.  Any and all suggestions
    are greatly appreciated.

    Vicky
