Adding and Editing Themes

With themes, you can customize the way Jive looks, adding your own logo and brand information. You can also change the composition of pages, rearrange them, and add and remove features.

• For simple changes to the UI, such as colors and logo, see Making Simple UI Changes.
• To add sophisticated view logic in your header and footer, see Customizing the UI with the Theme Resource Kit.
• To use a custom FreeMarker or Soy Template, upload it by going to Admin Console: System > Settings > Themes and clicking Browse. Select your theme(s) zip file and upload it (the zip must contain theme.xml which specifies the theme name). Next, assign a theme for the entire site (Global Theme Map). You can stop there or continue to assign themes for different URLs in the community (Custom Theme Maps). This enables a single Jive instance to display multiple skins throughout the application. You can edit themes at any time and apply theme maps without a server restart.
