Note: These files should exist in their own separate Flex folder (ie not in the ./portal/site folder)


Site folder will contain the flex folder which contains four files as follows:

Step 4: Add the path to the flex-script.js to your config xml file. 

Use "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SynergeticCommunityPortal\BinConfig\Synergetic.Application.CreateConfig.exe" to edit the required configuration file. The default file name is SynCommPortal.xml located in "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\SynwebCfg\SynCommPortal.xml". Note that some environments may have a different config file name or installation path.

Step 5: Your config XML file will then include the path to the theme and is ready to use.

Step 6: Reload Community Portal Application Pool (IIS)

Step 7: Customization to the Flex theme can be done through flex-custom.css which needs to be included in the config xml as one of the other AdditionalResources.

<AdditionalResource1>/Site/Flex/flex-script.js</AdditionalResource1>

Step 8: Check pages, including any custom pages you have created
