Title: Missing Theme/Layout Options in SuiteCRM 8.7

Description:

I’m experiencing an issue with missing theme and layout options in SuiteCRM 8.7. Despite having the correct sub-themes (Dawn, Day, Dusk, Night, Noon) defined in the themedef.php file, only the “Dawn” option is visible in the Layout Options under the User Profile.

Steps Taken:

  1. Verified that the sub-themes are present in /var/www/html/suitecrm/themes/SuiteP/css.

  2. Added the following entries in the themedef.php file:

$themedef[‘config_options’][‘sub_themes’][‘options’] = array(

‘Dawn’ => $app_strings[‘LBL_SUBTHEME_OPTIONS_DAWN’],

‘Day’ => $app_strings[‘LBL_SUBTHEME_OPTIONS_DAY’],

‘Dusk’ => $app_strings[‘LBL_SUBTHEME_OPTIONS_DUSK’],

‘Night’ => $app_strings[‘LBL_SUBTHEME_OPTIONS_NIGHT’],

‘Noon’ => $app_strings[‘LBL_SUBTHEME_OPTIONS_NOON’],

);

  1. Cleared the SuiteCRM cache (/var/www/html/suitecrm/cache/*) and performed a Quick Repair and Rebuild.

  2. Verified permissions:

sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www/html/suitecrm

sudo chmod -R 775 /var/www/html/suitecrm/cache

  1. Checked logs in /logs/prod/prod.log and /public/legacy/suitecrm.log, but no errors specific to themes were found.

Observations:

• Only “Dawn” is displayed as a selectable option in the dropdown menu.

• The layout and other functionality of SuiteCRM work as expected.

Environment Details:

• SuiteCRM Version: 8.7

• PHP Version: 8.2

• Server OS: Debian 12.7

• Permissions: Verified and corrected

Request:

Has anyone encountered a similar issue or can provide guidance on how to troubleshoot further? Any insights on additional configuration steps or missing dependencies would be appreciated.

Currently the SuiteCRM 8 does not have the sub themes functionality implemented

OK, thank you very much :wink:

Does it really have sub-themes? I did not see it.

If you want to see the sub themes feature you will have to install SuiteCRM v7

I think that “does” was meant to be “does not”
