Description of Changes to Configuration Files
When you upgrade your installation, the installer installs
updated configuration files and backs up the previous versions of
those files. This topic describes the difference between the updated
configuration files and the previous versions of the files.
If you changed or added custom styles or
tag libraries in your previous installation, you need to merge your
changes to the updated configuration files.
The following configuration
files have been updated:
- PT_HOME/settings/config/CustomStyles.xml
- PT_HOME/settings/config/FriendlyURLs.xml
- PT_HOME/settings/config/Tags.xml
- PT_HOME/settings/config/dynamicloads/Plugins/InterpreterFilters.xml
- PT_HOME/settings/config/dynamicloads/Utilities/DisplayDiagnosticPages.xml
During an upgrade, the previous versions of your configuration
files are backed up to the same directory with a .bak extension.
CustomStyles.xml
CustomStyles.xml enables
you to use alternate stylesheets that can be substituted based on
language. You can only override the language stylesheets when your
portal uses adaptive layouts.
In 10.3, the process for specifying
custom stylesheets has changed:
- By default, PT_HOME/ptimages/imageserver/plumtree/common/public/css/mainstyle.css will be used for adaptive layouts. There will be no mappings defined
in CustomStyles.xml. To override mainstyle.css and use an alternate stylesheet for a specified language, add a
new mapping into CustomStyles.css.
- The pt:standard.stylesheets transformer tag
will always return the legacy stylesheet link located in PORTAL_HOME/i18n whether or not adaptive layout mode is
enabled.
- The pt://styles transformer tag performs differently
depending on whether or not adaptive layout mode is enabled.
- In adaptive layout mode, the pt://styles transformer
tag will return PT_HOME/ptimages/imageserver/plumtree/common/public/css/mainstyle.css if there are no overrides in CustomStyles.css. If there are overrides, it will return the path to the custom stylesheet
for the language specified.
- In legacy mode, the pt://styles transformer
tag will always return the path to the legacy stylesheets located
in PORTAL_HOME/i18n.
- The legacy stylesheets located in PORTAL_HOME/i18n will always be used for non-hosted gatewayed pages whether or not
adaptive layout mode is enabled.
Refer to the TagDocs for more information about the
pt:standard.stylesheets and
pt://styles tags.
