1. What is the problem?

...

We can refer to the documentation of Userview Theme Plugin and look at its Overridable Methods.

6. Prepare your development environment

...

We need to always have our Joget Workflow Source Code ready and built by following this guideline. 

The following tutorial is prepared with a Macbook Pro and Joget Source Code version 7.0-SNAPSHOT. Please refer to the Guideline for developing Developing a pluginPlugin article for other platform commands. 

...

- Home
  - joget
    - plugins
    - jw-community
      -7.0-SNAPSHOT

The "plugins" directory is the folder we will create and store all our plugins and the "jw-community" directory is where the Joget Workflow Source code is stored.

...

cd joget/plugins/
~/joget/jw-community/7.0-SNAPSHOT/wflow-plugin-archetype/create-plugin.sh org.joget.tutorial eva-theme 78.0-SNAPSHOT

Then, the shell script will ask us to key in a version number for the plugin and request for confirmation before generating the maven project.

...

Define value for property 'version':  1.0-SNAPSHOT: : 78.0.0
[INFO] Using property: package = org.joget.tutorial
Confirm properties configuration:
groupId: org.joget.tutorial
artifactId: eva-theme
version: 7.0.0
package: org.joget.tutorial
Y: : y

We should get "BUILD SUCCESS" message shown in our terminal and a "jdbc_options_binder" folder created in the "plugins" folder.

Open the maven project with your favorite favourite IDE. I will be using using NetBeans.  

...

In this case, we are extending UniversalTheme rather than UserviewV5Theme so that we can customize our theme on the top of it.

b. Implement all the abstract methods

...

Then, we have to create a UI for admin user to provide inputs for our plugin. In getPropertyOptions method, we have already specified that our Plugin Properties Options definition file is located at "/properties/EvaTheme.json". Let us create a directory "resources/properties" under "eva-theme/src/main" directory. After creating the directory, create a file named "EvaTheme.json" in the "properties" folder.

...

...

Then, let us upload the plugin jar to Manage Plugins. After uploading the jar file, double check that the plugin is uploaded and activated correctly.

Configure any of your app's userview to point to the newly built theme.
