Making Webdynpro applications pick up standard portal theme

[former_member1191927]

HI all,

I have a webydnpro application which we are calling directly with the webdynpro URL, without creating a iview for that in the portal. Something simillar to the following :-

<a href="http://https://<>/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/TestProject/TestApp">http://https://<>/webdynpro/dispatcher/sap.com/TestProject/TestApp</a>

Now, the problem is that it is not picking up the custom portal theme which we have defined in System Administration -> portal display -> theme editor. This is the theme we are using for all applications on the portal.

I know that Webdynpro uses the default layout mentioned some where on the WAS server. Where is this maintained? Is there any way of changing this to point to the custom portal theme defined in the portal (in System Admin -> Portal display ->theme)??

Any help on this will be of great help.

Thanks,

HAri

Hi Hari,

Yes it is possible.

You have to make changes in the visual administrator.

check this link <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/1e/535d420447e054e10000000a155106/content.htm">setting the theme</a>

Thanks Shardha for the reply. Can you let me know how to find the exact URL of the portal theme??

Hi Hari,

Themes are stored in the PCD.

Themes are stored in a special folder in the Portal Catalog. You can find it under Portal Content->Themes.

There are 2 categories of themes:

1.The themes delivered by SAP

2. Your own themes

You can open the theme which you want to assign to the application and get the locaiton (URL) of that particular theme from its parameters.

Hi Shardha,

I got the path for the theme from PCD, and it looks like the below :-

"pcd:portal_content/themes/xyz_theme".

Now, as per the help link you provide, full path would be the following :-

https://<servername>/irj/portal_content/themes/xyz_theme.

But the above approach is not working. Please advise.

Thanks,

Hari
