In Telligent Enterprise 3.0 a new page, Manage Themes, allows you to import or export an entire site, group, or blog theme - including its factory default pages, headers, footers, and default configuration values. (The user defaults are included in the site theme.)

Such an export file is suitable for sharing in a marketplace (such as Telligent Marketplace), or for installing on other sites. You utilize the Manage Themes import function to apply the theme to your site.

The Manage Themes page is only available to site administrators - that is, users who have the Site - Edit Theme permission.


You have to import or export files for the same purposes; for example, if you export a theme as a site theme, you can only import that file as a site theme; the same is true of group or blog themes. If you try to cross types (e.g., export a site theme to import it as a blog theme), the dialog will claim that the import was successful, but the theme will not be displayed in the desired drop-down.

EXPORT a complete site, group, or blog theme

  1. Navigate to Control Panel Dashboard > System Administration > Site Administration > Site Content > Manage Themes.
  2. Select the theme type you want to export (site, group, or blog) in the Select Theme Type drop-down list.
  3. Select the theme you want to export in the Select Theme drop-down list.
  4. Click Export. Allow your browser to download the file to a location of your choosing.

IMPORT a complete site, group, or blog theme

Use this procedure to import a theme, such as Enterprise 3, for your Telligent Enterprise site.

You must follow this process exactly in order to successfully install an imported theme. The key is to ensure you select the theme type being imported before attempting import. If you do not, the theme may appear to work but might not actually work correctly.
  1. Download the theme package and unzip it.
  2. As an admin, navigate to System Administration > Site Administration > Site Content > Manage Themes.
  3. Select Site Theme in the Select Theme Type drop-down list.
  4. Click Import.
  5. In the import dialog box, click Browse and then browse to the site theme, such as Enterprise-Site-Theme.xml.
  6. Click Import in the dialog.
  7. In the Manage Themes tab, select Groups Theme in the Select Theme Type drop-down list.
  8. Click Import.
  9. In the import dialog box, click Browse and then browse to the group theme, such as Enterprise-Groups-Theme.xml.
  10. Click Import in the dialog.
  11. In the Manage Themes tab, select Blogs Theme in the Select Theme Type drop-down list.
  12. Click Import.
  13. In the Import dialog box, click Browse and browse to the blog theme, such as Enterprise-Blogs-Theme.xml.
  14. Click Import in the dialog.
  15. Apply the theme as normal via System Administration > Site Administration > Site Content > Site Theme.
