Hi,

Does IBM theme builder supports Websphere Portal 6? if so where can we download it from?

Thanks

I am not sure if you are speaking of a free standing tool. The theme builder with which I am familiar is a component of the Rational Application Developer V7. Perhaps the plugin for this feature is available separately. RAD V7 is not available for trial
download.

I am going to check around and see if I have overlooked the component you are looking for and will post what I discover here.

OK, I see now. I forgot (my how time flies) that there was / is a theme builder for Portal 5.1. Having said that, I cannot find where that product exists indepently of the RAD V7 tool.

Good luck!

I was searching for a tool to create a new theme and I found this links:
http://www-128.ibm.com/developerwor...004u/index.html http://www-128.ibm.com/developerwor...&S_CMP=cn-a-wes
it is not very clear if it supports portal V6 and where we can download the installer from. Do you know any other tool that can be used to create a new theme?
You have mentioned RAD v7 can you please explain a bit?
Thanks

I installed RAD v7. Can anyone describe how to create a new theme?
thanks

Go to RAD help. Search for "Creating new Portal themes". Attached is the pic. BTW, IBM Theme builder doesn't support Portal V6.

Thanks for the info, but the software I have is called "Rational Application development" whereas the one in the attached image is "Rational Software development" and they have different help files.
Did I install the correct software or there are some Added features that I need to install?
Thanks

You mean the software you have installed is "Rational Application Developer", is that correct. If you have portal tools installed with it then you will be able to find what I sent you.

"IBM Software Development Platform" is the base for Rational Tools ( e.g Rational Application Developer, Rational Software Architect ...). It should not matter if you have rational application developer installed with portal tools then you are good to cre
ate portal themes.

I installed RAD with default options. I just found that by default Portal tools are not installed so I will try to install it

I installed the portal tools. I can see now the document to create a new theme. However when I try to create a new "portal project" I receive the attached error. Anything has to be running like Portal 6.
Thanks

I haven't touched portal 6 themes, i believe they use JSF. Sorry.
