Installing a theme

To use a theme you purchased from the marketplace, you need to download and install it onto your website.

Download the theme

  1. First make sure you are logged into the ProsePoint website.
  2. Visit My account (in the Navigation menu on the right) and then click on Files (or File downloads). This will present you with a list of files which you are eligible to download.
  3. Click on the file you wish to download and save it to your computer.

Install the theme

  1. Create a directory .../sites/default/themes on your site (if it doesn't exist).This takes place on your site's web server so you have to use the command line or your hosting provider's control panel.
  2. Uncompress the downloaded theme and copy it into the directory .../sites/default/themes on your site. For example, if you downloaded a theme my_new_theme, you want to end up with a directory .../sites/default/themes/my_new_theme.
  3. Visit the page .../admin/build/themes on your site (using your web browser). This will present you with a list of themes and your new theme should appear in a row.
  4. Tick the Enabled checkbox for your theme and then click Save configuration.

Configuring the theme and blocks

After enabling your theme, you may want configure your theme. To do this, click on the configure link for your theme (this should be next to the Enabled checkbox you ticked earlier)

Then, visit .../admin/build/block on your site to arrange the blocks for your theme. If you have more than one theme enabled (which you probably do), make sure you are viewing the appropriate blocks page for the new theme.

Making your new theme the default theme

Once the theme and the blocks have been configured, you can make your new theme the default theme.

  1. Visit the page .../admin/build/themes on your site.
  2. In the row where your new theme appears, there is a Default radio button next to the Enabled checkbox. Select that and then click Save configuration.

Congratulations! Your new theme is now in operation.
