Editing Property List Files

Every theme has a theme.plist file, which controls:

The name of the theme

Â

Whether the theme is publicly available

Â

The height and width of the banner

Â

Sidebar properties such as the name, type and number of links, and sort order

Â

After making changes to the theme.plist file, you must restart the web service or
restart the server. Because this can disrupt users, you should create, edit, and test
themes on a test computer and then copy them over to the server.

About Property List Editor

Property List Editor is a specialized editor for property list files.

In order to edit a theme.plist file using Property List Editor, you must copy it to your
Documents folder. When you finish editing the theme.plist file, you must copy it back
to /Library/Application Support/Apple/WikiServer/Themes/theme_name.wikitheme/.

Property List Editor is located on the Mac OS X Server v10.5 Administration Tools CD, in
/Utilities/. You can run it from the CD or copy it to a different location.
