Custom jQuery Theme For Templates

I am trying to customize my templates with a theme generated by the Theme Roller on the jQuery Website:

My directory structure looks like this:

ClientScript--

                     jquery17

                                     jquery.min.js

                     jqueryui182

                                    themes

                                                 mytheme

                                                             images

                                                             jquery.ui.all.css

                                    jquery.ui.min.js

 

with these changes to user.config:

<addkey="UseGoogleCDN"value="false" />

<addkey="jQueryBasePath"value="~/ClientScript/jquery17/" />

<addkey="jQueryUIBasePath"value="~/ClientScript/jqueryui182/" />

The theme is not taking effect. I opened web.config and added a space.

Re: Custom jQuery Theme For Templates

You don't need to host the jQuery javascript in order to use a custom jQuery Theme. To use a custom theme, all you need to do is upload the theme to your skin directory (just the images directory and the css file) and then place a reference to the css file in the style.config for the skin.

In your layout.master, remove the jQueryuithemename property from the StyleSheetCombiner control and add IncludeJQueryUI="false".

HTH,

Re: Custom jQuery Theme For Templates

Thank you. It worked.

If I wanted to host the files locally, was there something I was doing wrong?

Re: Custom jQuery Theme For Templates

You may need to rename the files, you should view the source of the page and see the links for the jquery js and make sure it is correct or rename the files to make it match.

Hope that helps,

Joe
