Creating Themes In Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) |
|
|
I'm using WSS, not SPS, and have a need to create my own theme. To that end I
have done the following:
1) Added a theme to \60\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033\SPETHEMES.XML, as follows:
<Templates>
<TemplateID>HSHotSpotProgramDeliveryV1.0</TemplateID>
<DisplayName>HotSpot Program Deliveryv v1.0</DisplayName>
<Description>Description</Description>
<Thumbnail>../images/thevrgrn.png</Thumbnail>
<Preview>../images/thHSPD.gif</Preview>
</Templates>
2) Created folder \60\TEMPLATE\THEMES\HSHotSpotProgramDeliveryV1.0 wherein I
have placed a copy of all files from the \60\TEMPLATE\THEMES\EVRGREEN folder.
3) Created file thHSPD.gif (preview file) and placed it in
\60\TEMPLATE\IMAGES, but continue to use (for now) the thumbnail of the
EVRGREEN template.
4) Stopped and restarted IIS.
The new theme appears on the "Apply Theme to Web site" web page just as
expected, and when I single-click on the new theme name I see the preview
thHSPD.gif just as expected, but when I click the "Apply" button, I receive
an error page with the error message, "Cannot open
"HSHotSpotProgramDeliveryV1.0": no such file or folder."
I have ensured that the TemplateID in Step 1) matches the folder name
created in Step 2). What could I have missed that would be causing this error?
Thanks!

The TemplateID needs to be 8 characters or less and all alpha-numeric.
Change it to something like HSHOTSPT and you should be fine.

Bil:
Thanks for this most excellent advice; progress has been achieved! However,
when I apply the theme I now get the error message, "A theme with the name
"HSHOTSPT 1011" and version already exists on the server." I've not yet
stopped and restarted IIS but will ask my Administrator Team to do that for
me. Do you think that will correct this error, or is this indicative of
problem more difficult to solve?
Regards and thanks,
ricky

Unfortunately IISRESET did NOT resolve this problem. I continue to get the
same error message, "A theme with the name "HSHOTSPT 1011" and version
already exists on the server." Can you help, please?

Do you have a space in the theme name? I don't believe you can use
spaces.

<DisplayName>HotSpot Program Deliveryv v1.0</DisplayName>
<Description>Description</Description>
<Thumbnail>../images/thevrgrn.png</Thumbnail>

Any other thoughts?
