We set up the SharePoint 12 hive folder for a custom theme with a new xml entry and folder.
Is everything required for a custom theme living in the theme folder? I'm asking because we are seeing CSS files that appear to be dynamically named rendered on SharePoint pages in the folder that are not actually in the folder.
Will we have to use SPD and custom site changes to get a custom theme to work?
I've got a designer working only in the theme folder, but he is seeing rendered css that he can't get to. He is not using SPD
That 1011-65001 squence file is found nowhere? what is that an where can I find it. Any way to have my custom theme all hard fixed name css files in that folder without using SPD?
/_themes/MYNEWFOLDER/MYNEWTHEME1011-65001.css?rev=12%2E0%2E0%2E6421
===
Update: I just realzed that css is creatd when I apply the theme and so it's in my _themes site folder. But now, when I attempt to re-apply the theme, that was working before, now i get a write error on _themes.
I can answer your first query why its dyanamic name this is because themes which you installed are ghosted version and when you apply them an unghosted version is created for the specific site where it is applied. so a dyanamic naming is required and it cannot be hard coded in MOSS even if you try using SPD you can do it but you have to remove the theming then.
the same you have also have notified in update that the css name is changed only when you apply it.
regarding your second issue of reapplying it did you try applying another them and then back to first one and is giving error then please check the 12 hive logs it will give you cause of failure and if still you are not able to figure out the same plz share the relavent log here we will try to help you

Using Liferay 7.3.5, i am consistently running into issues regarding theme deploy.
I am trying to upload a theme to my server using the instructions given in the following guide:
https://learn.liferay.com/dxp/latest/en/system-administration/installing-and-managing-apps/installing-apps.html
When i try uploading apps via the file system and into the deploy folder, the file appears to vanish and nothing happens. I have since been uploading it directly to the WAR folder, but i am now running into some issues when a theme is deployed that way.
I expect the theme to be uploaded and working properly, the CSS to be applied to the page(s) and the liferay menu to be intact.
Uploading the theme appears to go well and the theme shows inside the list you can choose from. Inside the list however, the theme doesn’t display a thumbnail.
Problems started once i uploaded multiple themes to the same liferay server.
On the site pages, the CSS is not properly applied and looks broken as if there isn’t any theme applied. The edit page button on the top right is invisible, as are the rest of the menu items.
Publishing the site or reselecting the theme do not resolve the issues, nor did a redeploy of the theme.
Does anybody know how to correctly upload a WAR file to the file system in Liferay 7.3.5, or am i overlooking something else?
UPDATE 22/09/2022
so i have narrowed down the issue a bit. When i first upload a theme to my war folder is works fine. However when deploying a another theme, the first one breaks.
I doesn't really matter which of the theme's i use as it seems to do it for all of them, I created a github with two simple theme war files. If you want to reproduce the issue.

All you have to do is follow the normal steps and upload the theme. Turn the server on, and check if it works. Then turn it back off again to add another one. You'll then start seeing issues in the first theme.
Such as liferay buttons changing the same colour as the background and the css from the theme not working. So for example, the januari theme should change the navbar and add a picture about it. If you upload the other theme however this doesn't work anymore.
I hope this works as a reproducible example
I've spent several hours trying to figure this out; hopefully, it's an easy solution and the difficulty is simply because I'm brand new to Orchard CMS and no where near an expert web developer...
I've created a Products Download page and need to insert hyperlinks to files that exist on the file system.
the path to the file (on disk) is : c:\Orchard CMS\Downloads\ProductOne\File1.zip
in the page editor, I insert a hyperlink reference with the following URL: /Downloads/ProductOne/File1.zip
When I hover over the hyperlink, it looks correct: http://localhost:12345/Downloads/ProductOne/File1.zip
However, when I click the link, I receive the following exception:
HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Any help would be extremely appreciated!
If you don't want to play with source code and web.config files you should use Orchard Media feature. It allows you to upload files into Orchard filesystem and manage those. Links to files uploaded this way look like http://www.myorchardsite.com/Media/[Media folder path]/YourFile.zip
If you are not an experienced developer, I'd strongly advise you to take this approach. The only drawback is that you'd have to reupload those files into Orchard. But this is not as bad as it looks - you can zip them and upload as a single file (Orchard will take care of unpacking the archive if you check the checkbox below upload field).
You need a web.config file that allows the files to be served. You can use one from one of the content directories that can be found in modules or themes.
I am working on an intranet in Sharepoint online. I have added a custom css file and included it in the masterpage, after the default stylesheets. In the sourcecode I can see it clearly and I can follow the path to its intended file.
Earlier I had no problems to check it out, edit in Sharepoint designer, save it, then checking it in and changes would apply to the site.
But now the changes I make don't seem to catch. I have cleared cache on several browsers but still no change.
The masterpage and the custom startpage are both published. No files are left checked out.
I may be a sharepoint noob, I have searched any number of forums but not found anything pertinent to my problem.
Can anyone give me a pointer in the right direction please?
:)
Do you save the CSS file in a document library that uses versioning? Perhaps you forgot to publish the latest version of your changes, so browsers only see your previous version.
I made an account specifically to respond to this post because I was having the same issue and found your update about creating a new CSS file helpful in determining the real issue. So I wanted to share my solution!
In the end I discovered it was our BLOB cache being enabled that was causing the issue. We had enabled it to use image renditions. As per the following technet article regarding configuring the BLOB cache, I removed CSS from the file types and our issue was resolved!

I hope this helps :)
You are logged in as the Site Collection administrator?
CTRL+F5 to get the latest .css from server?
When you View Source you are able to see the link to your .css file?
When you follow the link to the .css file and open the .css file, it has the recent changes you made?
I think you might have done this.. but make sure after publishing the .css file it is approved.
Press F12 to load IE Dev Toolbar to see what styles are being used in the elements in question. May be you have a small syntax error in the recent classes you added.
Thanks, Karthik.
In the end I made a copy of the css file, gave it a new name and referred to that instead, worked like a charm.
Thanks for your answers and comments all
Under Site Collection Administration settings, go to SharePoint Designer settings and make sure all the checkboxes are marked including "Enable Customizing Master Pages and Page Layouts "
Also, make sure your tag that cites your custom CSS is just below the last meta tag in the head of your master page.
Lastly, remove quotes... there are additional quotes added with javascript so you don't need quotes AND have the full URL to the stylesheet or it will not work!
I've downloaded Drupal 6 and installed it on my local server, and ported a basic web site as a custom theme. I've set this as the default theme and everything works okay; the page appears nice with all the images and layout.
The problem is that now, no matter what I type as the URL I always get to my page. So how can I go to the admin page? /q=user does not work. I can change the theme from the database but that is not what I want. I just want to keep this theme and be able to access all the Drupal functionality.
For the custom page i've created the page.tpl.php and .info file. Along with the CSS file I've put them all in a new folder in the themes directory.
#abhaga's answer is spot on - you've turned the entire site's theme into a single page's HTML, so they're all going to be the same.
If you'd like to avoid glitching the admin side of things with a bad template file, you can set one of the core themes as your "administration theme" (in Site Configuration) - that way, the admin backend will always use that theme regardless of the other templates.
Ah! Basically page.tpl.php specifies the over all structure of site. Look at the original page.tpl.php file - it will be printing a variable called $content somewhere. That is the variable holding all the content of your specific page. You will need to print it at appropriate place in your pge.tpl.php

Does any body know how can i change the layout of a dotnetnuke website. I need to modify the standard layout
You can use a custom skin or modify the default skin that comes with the DNN installation. The default skin files are in [Website]\Portals_default\Skins\MinimalExtropy\ where [Website] is your DNN web site folder. If you are new to skinning and have a lot of questions, I am sure that the DNN forums will be helpful - DNN Skinning forums
You can do that by editing the CSS. I had similar issue, for which I used " inspect element" in google chrome that helped me in recognizing div elements and css properties. You can find css in portals_default\Skins\DarkKnight (or your own skin name) \skin.css
If your wanting to do anything outside of the CSS (ie, turn off the search bar on a page); then you have to have full access to the site -- open the site via FTP or download all the files, then you can modify the 'default' page, or the skin file you want to change. my suggestion is to make a 'copy' of the skin default page you want to change, give it a new name, and then save it back to the server. When you go to change the 'skin' theme from the 'site manager' you will see your new skin page listed as an option. Modifying from the CMS does not allow you to modify the actual 'page', only its 'parts'. There is also a starter kit available for Visual Studio, google "DNN Starter Kit" which you can create custom modules, skins and containers.
