Themes

Themes make it possible to easily switch among different presentational or "look and feel" layers. Within a single .war file, a designer/developer can deliver an integrated package of JSP (or Velocity), Javascript, image and configuration files that will control all presentation logic and design attributes for a portal community. Liferay Portal 3.5 comes with a handful of pre-made themes that showcase the versatility and creative possibilities themes enable:

Figure 2.1: "Classic" Theme

Figure 2.2: "Breeze" Theme

Figure 2.3: "Velocity" Theme

Figure 2.4: "Genesis" Theme

Figure 2.5: "Clean" Theme

Figure 2.6: "Brochure" Theme
Themes in Liferay Portal 3.5 are also incredibly flexible in how they can be applied:
  • Different themes can be assigned to specific user groups (a.k.a. communities).
  • Users can choose a unique theme for their own personal portal page
  • Both Java Server Page (JSP) and Velocity (VM) languages are supported
  • Themes are hot-deployable as .wars (when supported by the app server)
To select a different theme, simply go to the Look and Feel section (in the header bar) and choose one of the available themes and a corresponding color scheme. The process is as straightforward as setting a new desktop background in Windows.

Making Your Own Theme

Now that we’ve seen the power and flexibility of themes, let’s see how you can put your creativity to work and design your own. Making a new theme requires only four main steps:
  1. Configure properties
  2. Edit templates (JSP or VM)
  3. Define CSS styles
  4. Code JavaScript (optional)
Let’s take a high-level look at how Liferay created the JSP-based "Brochure" theme (Figure 2.6) by modifying a few things in a copy of the "Classic" theme (Figure 2.1).
Note: If you want to see an example using VM, take a look at the bundled "Velocity" theme (Figure 2.3).

Configuration

To start, we created a copy of the "Classic" theme’s directory and renamed it "brochure." (Figure 2.1.1.1). We then deleted the color-schemes directory because we decided we would only have one color scheme for the "Brochure" theme. Although you don’t have to follow the layout shown here, this convention will make your themes easier to organize and keep them standard.
Figure 2.1.1.1 Directory structure
Once we have a directory to house our new theme, we need to let Liferay know the new theme’s directory location. This is done in liferay-look-and-feel.xml (Figure 2.1.1.2). Notice that the theme configuration shows theme id="brochure" and identifies the compatible version. The root-path, templates-path and images-path are also set here. Make sure that these values match your directory structure.
<look-and-feel>
<compatibility>
<version>3.5.0</version>
</compatibility>
<theme id="brochure" name="Brochure">
<root-path>/html/themes/brochure</root-path>
<templates-path>/html/themes/brochure/templates</templates-path>
<images-path>/html/themes/brochure/images</images-path>
<template-extension>jsp</template-extension>
<color-scheme id="01" name="Default">
<!-- color-scheme content omitted to simplify example -->
</color-scheme>
</theme>
</look-and-feel>
Figure 2.1.1.2 liferay-look-and-feel.xml

Templates

Now that Liferay Portal is configured to load your theme, the next step is to edit the template files that give the theme its uniqueness. Here’s a brief description of some of the templates that are used in the default themes:
init.jspInitializes variables and properties needed for the theme.
css.jspContains CSS style definitions for your entire theme.
portal_normal.jspControls the layout of portal templates for normal pages.
portal_pop_up.jspControls the layout of portal templates for pop-ups.
top.jspDraws the top of the portal.
bottom.jspDraws the bottom of the portal.
navigation.jspDraws the navigation bar of the portal.
portlet_top.jspDraws the top of each portlet.
portlet_bottom.jspDraws the bottom of each portlet.
javascript.jspContains JavaScript declarations.
Each template controls the layout of a particular area within the portal. For instance,portlet_top.jsp controls the top portion of each portlet; navigation.jsp determines how the navigation bar will look.
Keep in mind that not all of these templates require modification; nor are you limited to the ones mentioned here. Feel free to add another template to control a different area of the portal. Just make sure to include the template in portal_normal.jsp and/or portal_pop_up.jsp.
A number of changes were made to these templates for the brochure theme. Highlighted, you can see one such major change made to the placement and appearance of the portal configuration menu (Figures 2.1.2.1 and 2.1.2.1):
Figure 2.1.2.1 The "Classic" theme's portal config menu is integrated with the tabs.
Figure 2.1.2.2 The "Brochure" theme's portal config menu is relocated to the top of the portal.
In the "Classic" theme, the portal configuration menu is part of the navigation bar. It consists of buttons and a dropdown menu. By contrast, the "Brochure" theme has the portal configuration menu relocated to the top of the portal and separated from the navigation bar. Also notice that the buttons are now simple text links. Some of the code changes required highlighted below in Figure 2.1.2.3:
<div id="layout-outer-side-decoration">
<div id="layout-inner-side-decoration">
<div id="layout-top-decoration">
<div id="layout-corner-ul"></div>
<div id="layout-corner-ur"></div>
</div>
<div id="layout-box">
<div id="layout-top">
<div id="layout-logo">
<a class="bg" href="<%= themeDisplay.getPathFriendlyURL() %>/guest/home"><img border="0" hspace="0" src="<%= themeDisplay.getCompanyLogo() %>" vspace="0"></a>
</div>

<c:if test="<%= themeDisplay.isSignedIn() %>">
<div id="layout-user-menu">
<a style="font-size: 8pt;" href="<%= themeDisplay.getURLSignOut() %>"><bean:message key="sign-out" /></a> - 

<c:if test="<%= GetterUtil.getBoolean(PropsUtil.get(PropsUtil.UNIVERSAL_PERSONALIZATION)) || RoleLocalServiceUtil.isPowerUser(user.getUserId()) %>">
<a style="font-size: 8pt" href="<%= themeDisplay.getPathMain() %>/portal/personalize_forward?group_id=<%= portletGroupId %>"><%= LanguageUtil.get(pageContext, "content-and-layout") %></a> - 
</c:if>

<c:if test="<%= GetterUtil.getBoolean(PropsUtil.get(PropsUtil.LOOK_AND_FEEL_MODIFIABLE)) %>">
<a style="font-size: 8pt" href="<%= themeDisplay.getPathMain() %>/portal/look_and_feel_forward?group_id=<%= portletGroupId %>"><%= LanguageUtil.get(pageContext, "look-and-feel") %></a> - 
</c:if>

<font class="portlet-font" style="font-size: 8pt;">
<%= LanguageUtil.get(pageContext, "my-communities") %>
</font>

<% String selectedStyle = "style=\"background: " + colorScheme.getPortletMenuBg() + "; color: " + colorScheme.getPortletMenuText() + ";\" "; %>

<font size="2">
<select name="my_communities_sel" style="font-family: Verdana, Arial; font-size: smaller; font-weight: normal;" onChange="self.location = '<%= themeDisplay.getPathMain() %>/portal/group_forward?group_id=' + this.value;">
<option <%= !layout.isGroup() ? selectedStyle : "" %> value="<%= Group.DEFAULT_PARENT_GROUP_ID %>"><%= LanguageUtil.get(pageContext, "desktop") %></option>

<% List myCommunities = UserLocalServiceUtil.getGroups(user.getUserId());
for (int i = 0; i < myCommunities.size(); i++) {
Group myCommunity = (Group)myCommunities.get(i);
%>
<option <%= layout.isGroup() && layout.getGroupId().equals(myCommunity.getGroupId()) ? selectedStyle + "selected" : "" %> value="<%= myCommunity.getGroupId() %>"><%= myCommunity.getName() %></option>

<% } %>

</select>
</font>
</div>
</c:if>
Figure 2.1.2.3 top.jsp for the "Brochure" theme

CSS Styles

Another major part of every theme is the collection of presentation attributes such as font size, background color, padding and margin. The best way to control these attribute in your theme is to use cascading style sheets (CSS). As mentioned briefly above, css.jsp contains all the CSS style definitions for your theme. Liferay Portal’s default themes include all JSR-168 standard style definitions. You may also add theme-specific style definitions to css.jsp. Using the templates and adding custom images as necessary, you can use standard and custom style definitions to give your theme a distinctive look and feel. Let’s look at some of the style changes made in the "Brochure" theme.

Header Bar

.portlet-header-bar {
    background-color: #e0e0e0;
    margin: 0 1px 0 1px;
    padding: 3px 0px 3px 0px;
    position: relative;
    z-index: 2;
    }


<%@ include file="init.jsp" %>

    <div class="portlet-container" style="width: <%= portletDisplay.getWidth() %>">
    <div class="portlet-header-bar">
    <c:if test="<%= Validator.isNotNull(portletDisplay.getTitle()) %>">
    <div class="portlet-title">
    <b> <%= portletDisplay.getTitle() %> </b>
    </div>
    </c:if>
The style definition portlet-header-bar is used in the portlet_top template. The portlet_toptemplate is used to draw the top of each portlet within the portal. As you can see from theportlet-header-bar definition, the header bar for each portlet should have a gray background color, with a small margin on its sides, padding on top and bottom, positioned relatively and with a z-index of 2.

Dynamic Style Values

Another flexibility aspect to highlight is that style values can be retrieved dynamically from color scheme variables defined in liferay-look-and-feel.xml. Because the style sheet is a JSP file, you can use JSP tags to dynamically assign some of your style definition values. For example:
.portlet-title {
    color: <%= colorScheme.getPortletTitleText() %>
    font-family: Tahoma, Arial;
    font-size: smaller;
    vertical-align: middle;
    }
In the above code, portlet-title’s color attribute has its value retrieved dynamically. This way, depending on the color scheme selected on the "Look and Feel" page in the portal, the title bar will have a color appropriate to the currently selected color scheme.
Please refer to the theme user guide for more information.

JavaScript

Lastly, you are free to use JavaScript to create a more dynamic interface for your theme. To use a script, all you have to do is put the script file inside your theme directory, then provide the location of this file in the script declaration in javascript.jsp. For example, if your JavaScript file is called my_script.js and it’s located in html/themes/my_themes/js, make the following declaration in javascript.jsp:
<script language="JavaScript" src="<%= themeDisplay.getPathThemeRoot() %>/js/my_script.js"></script>
The JSP expression <%= themeDisplay.getPathThemeRoot() %> helps keep you from hard-coding information in your templates. Refer to the API to see other variables and methods available to you.
Both the "Clean" theme (Figure 2.5) and the "Genesis" theme (Figure 2.4) use JavaScript to create a dynamic interface.

CMS + Portal = Website

In addition to themes, Liferay Portal 3.5 has several enhancements that make it very straightforward to combine static CMS articles and functionality-rich portlets on the same portal page. One direct application of this capability would be to create your public website using Liferay, and thereby enable the inclusion of portlets on your website. Not only would you be able to reuse functional components and find innovative ways to use them, but you could also quickly build new pages out of common components within a tightly-managed CMS framework.
As an example, suppose an insurance company wants to show their customers how much they can save by switching to their insurance plan. Online visitors can go to their website, fill out a short form, and receive pricing information instantaneously. If this insurance company uses Liferay 3.5 to build their website, they can easily develop a pricing calculator portlet, grant guest access, and display it on the front page of their website. The CMS-managed article describing the plan can be placed right beside the calculator portlet.
Also, incorporating portlets into your website helps to encourage reuse. If two different pages on your website need to offer the same functionality, one portlet can simply be placed in both pages.
Liferay Portal 3.5 also comes with portlets specifically designed to help you build a public website easily. The Breadcrumb Portlet keeps track of how deep a user has gone into the navigation of a site. The Navigation Portlet can be configured to act as a standard nested navigation menu. These and other portlets can be re-used and easily included on every content page where they are needed, and once the main Theme layout has been created, psges can be put together using these portlets without touching the presentation code. Layout is handled strictly through portal page configuration.
Besides providing functionality, a website also needs to provide information. Liferay Portal 3.5 allows CMS articles to be inserted into your portal just like any other portlet. You can thus easily bring various articles together to assemble a website.
Taking the above example, the insurance company may want one portlet containing a CMS article describing their pricing. Right next to it is another portlet with a CMS articles haring customer testimonials. The layout of the page the articles live in is managed within the portal’s admin section, and the content and layout of the individual articles is easily maintained through the journal portlet.
Liferay Portal 3.5 also ships with the Runtime Portlet and the Portlet Aggregator. The Runtime Portlet is used to embed portlets into CMS articles. This portlet is used at Liferay.com to embed an instance of the Login Portlet within the article that’s displayed on the main web page.
The Portlet Aggregator provides a flexible means to lay out several portlets. You are no longer confined to the strict rigidity of a column layout, but can rather set the layout of several portlets dynamically using HTML and CSS.
In Liferay’s next Javalobby article, we’ll explore both of these portlets in greater detail.
Note: For documentation on Liferay’s CMS, please see the CMS User Guide.

Example of CMS and Web Portal Integration

Liferay’s main website was recently rebuilt to utilize the portal instead of using linked CMS pages (which showcased version 3.2 capabilities). In this new paradigm, each page on the website is a layout (page) comprised of several different portlets. To illustrate, let’s take Liferay’s "Company Overview" page as an example. Figure 2.1.4.1 shows the webpage with each of the five portlets marked. (You can view the actual page here.)
Figure 2.1.4.1 Company Overview
Company Overview, like most other pages on Liferay.com, is a portal layout (page) with two columns, one narrow and one wide, containing various portlets that supply its content. Portlets two and four, denoted in Figure 2.1.4.1, are instances of the Navigation and Breadcrumb Portlets, respectively. The remaining three portlets are instances of the Journal Content portlet; each contains its own CMS article. Portlet one and three contain a single picture each, and portlet five contains a detailed overview of Liferay.
You can add, delete, and organize page layouts by using the Admin section (Figure 2.1.4.2), accessed by the "Content and Layout" button.
Figure 2.1.4.2 Admin Portlet
For the Company page, we added the "Company" layout right under the "Home" layout. Also notice the Friendly URL field. This field allows you to assign a simple URL to a layout. So instead of linking to this page with the URL www.liferay.com/c/portal/layout?p_p_id=34..., you can use a simplified URL like www.liferay.com/web/guest/company.
Once the "Company" page layout has been added, you can add different portlets to it to quickly assemble your webpage.
For example, to add the Breadcrumb Portlet to the right column:
  1. Go to the bottom of the right column.
  2. Choose "Breadcrumb" in the dropdown menu.
  3. Click the "Add" button.
To add a CMS article in the left column:
  1. Go to the bottom of the left column.
  2. Choose "Journal Content" in the dropdown menu.
  3. Click the "Add" button.
  4. Click the "Edit" button to specify the ID of the article you want.
  5. Specify whether you would like to see a border.
  6. Add an optional title and click the "Save Settings" button.
Note: When assembling your webpage, remember to extract all the presentation attributes to your theme. This way, all the attributes are centralized. For example, to remove the gap between the wide and narrow columns, we set the "margin" attribute in the "Brochure" theme to zero.
