This page is for installers or application designers who want import additional packages provided for PhixFlow.

For any packages supplied by PhixFlow, you only need to install packages

  • when you install PhixFlow for the first time
  • if the package has never been installed on an existing instance.

After an upgrade, do not re-install packages.

When you install a package on an instance of PhixFlow, the files and data it contains overwrites any existing files with the same name. This means you could lose any changes or customisation you have made.

For theme palettes, we recommend they are only installed once.

Additional Theme Palettes

PhixFlow provides additional theme palettes that you can use when designing an application. Each Theme palette contains a set of ready-made components that you can drag in to create forms and buttons with a consistent look-and-feel; see About Themes. 

How to Install a Theme Palette

This video shows how to install a palette using Theme 2 as an example.

  1. Download the package from this page.
  2. From the  Administration menu, select Import Options →  Import Configuration. Navigate to the downloaded package and select it. Click OK.
  3. Configure PhixFlow to use the palette by default. If you already have a default palette, check that everyone wants to use the new palette as the system default.
    • Either set the palette as the default for the entire system by selecting it in System Configuration → General Settings → Default Component Palette. All the applications you create will use Theme 2 automatically. You can still use tiles and components from other palettes.
    • Or set the palette for a specific application by selecting it in the application properties → Basic Settings → Default Component Palette. Use this option if you want to use different palettes with different applications.
