document the need for having a unique theme name

[tkimnguyen]

If you download the existing Barceloneta theme as a ZIP to serve as the basis for a new theme, you have to give the theme a new name, otherwise when you try to upload the ZIP file you will get the error "this theme override a filesystem theme"

We should state that the theme needs a new name, and that renaming the theme means doing both these things before creating the ZIP:

• renaming the folder
• (possibly?) editing manifest.cfg and changing the "title" value before

It would certainly make life easier if there was a way to have versions of
the same named theme. When working through the web you end up keeping lots
of versions on the theme with different date extensions. It wouldn't have
to be anything more than a nicer ui for that so pick the theme and then
pick the version to edit or activate. And if you upload then you can choose
to append a new verision id if its the same name (or overwrite)

Great idea re: automatically making a theme name unique on upload and/or retaining multiple versions (similar functionality?) of a theme!

[VerSooSet]

made a unique name for each theme from one archive

• with manifest generation https://github.com/VerSooSet/plone.app.theming/tree/issue106-w-manifest
• same but need create manifest file each time https://github.com/VerSooSet/plone.app.theming/tree/issue106

Nice try... does it work? Would be good to have tests for this too.

Hi ! We talked previously about popup dialog. That sounds cool. I'm work on it now. And to add date time as prefix. Sure need to testing for me and would write about changes here. As you say me.

A previously posted version save the duplicates as add copy with prefix of 0 to 9. It realy make renaming and also having a some dependencyes wrongs at the site log.

Hi ! :-) I' am studying, read documentation, do attempts and testing. My work on the invoke modal window to the target page. I want to used TAL atributes for function on Python. I'm not forget.

app.theming branch
plone.resource branch

this fix have to do copy and to do replace actions for existed theme and made each copy with unique name. I have a manual test with five free themes and Jenkins tests. UI : to look .
is that what you need ?
