Updating Project Metadata

If your theme uses the Liferay Theme Generator, the gulp upgrade task automatically updates your theme’s metadata as part of the upgrade process. If you’re developing your theme in an environment other than the themes generator, follow the steps below to update your theme’s metadata manually:

1. Open your theme’s liferay-plugin-package.properties file and change the liferay-versions property value to 7.1.0+:

   liferay-versions=7.1.0+
   

2. Open the liferay-look-and-feel.xml file and specify 7.1.0+ as the compatibility version:

   <look-and-feel>
           <compatibility>
                   <version>7.1.0+</version>
           </compatibility>
   
           ...
   
   </look-and-feel>
   

3. If your theme uses the Liferay Theme Generator, open the package.json file and update the file’s Liferay version references to 7.1. Update the liferayTheme’s templateLanguage to ftl (since Velocity theme templates are no longer supported), and update its version to 7.1:

   "liferayTheme": {
   	...
   	"templateLanguage": "ftl",
   	"version": "7.1"
   },
   

4. Update the liferay-theme-deps-7-0 dependency to liferay-theme-deps-7.1 with the version below, and add the liferay-theme-tasks dependency as shown in the example configuration below:

   "devDependencies": {
   	"gulp": "3.9.1",
   	"liferay-theme-tasks": "8.0.0-alpha.6",
   	"liferay-theme-deps-7.1": "8.0.0-alpha.6"
   },
   

Your theme’s Liferay version references are updated for Liferay DXP 7.1.
