Make Themes Editable Through Dev Hub

robert88 — Mon, 14 Nov 2022 23:40:39 GMT

I (ab)use dev-hub to edit my themes in QlikSense (Enterprise). It works perfectly as is, it just needs exposed in the UI. This allows me to rapidly iterate on CSS without relying on browser dev tool tweaking or tedious zip file uploads. Please expose it in the UI, and please don't "fix" my workaround haha.

To explain further, if you have the name of your custom theme and enter the URL <qlik-server>/dev-hub/extension-editor/#qext{<theme-name>}, you are able to edit the theme files directly.

Hello Robert,

unfortunatly your Hack <qlik-server>/dev-hub/extension-editor/#qtext{<theme-name>} does not work for me. Is there anything other to know about the link syntax?

Okay,

hier is a second working procedure:
(agreed that edit in the dev-hub would be much more comfortable - when working 😞 )

1. Copy Your Theme-Folder from ../StaticContent/ Extensions into a for example ../StaticContent/development/Your-Theme-Folder

2. Edit the Theme files for example with the windows-Editor

3. For looking at the theme copy Your theme-files to a Your-Theme-name.zip file.

4. Delete the Theme bei using the extension-folder of QMC

5. User Import from this extension-QMC part and import Your Zip-File
(Okay, Your Theme will not be shown in Extension-QMC after import - You have
to wait one day for actualisation. But next day you will see it in the list. And - naturally
You can configer Your app with it at once)
