FYI.

I noticed there is a typo error in the OTRS CVS manual :

16.3. Create a new theme

To create a new theme, create a new theme directory (mkdir ~otrs/Kernel/Output/HTML/NewTheme/). Copy an existing

theme into the new directors (cp ~otrs/Kernel/Output/HTML/Standart/*.dtl ~otrs/Kernel/Output/HTML/NewTheme/).

Modify the dtl files like you want.

Add a new database entry for this theme. You have to do this via SQL.

shell:~> mysql -u root -psome-pass otrs

Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.

Your MySQL connection id is 1 to server version: 3.23.48-log

Type ’help;’ or ’\h’ for help. Type ’\c’ to clear the buffer.

mysql> INSERT INTO theme

-> (theme, valid_id, create_by, change_by, change_time)

-> VALUES

-> (’NewTheme’, 1, 1, 1, current_timestamp);

mysql>

Ready. Goto the preferences page and change your theme.

If you want to use your new theme as default theme (login, ...), add the following config option to your Kernel/Config.pm.

$Self->{DefaultTheme} = ’NewTheme’;

for 1.2.1:

mysql> INSERT INTO theme

-> (theme, valid_id, create_time, create_by, change_time, change_by)

-> VALUES

-> (’NewTheme’, 1, current_timestamp, 1, current_timestamp, 1);

Thau.
