ckanext-tableview has inbuilt themes integrated. To use one, add justicehub_theme to the ckan.tableview_theme settings in your CKAN config file. If not provided, then it will take default theme. In case if theme is not found, then it will show: "Internal Server Error" in views section

Adding your own custom theme

There are mainly 2 steps for adding any custom theme:

1. Add theme name in /tableview/public/resource.config along with all the resources you want theme to load
2. Add all relevant css/js files in their respective places inside /tableview/public/ directory anywhere. By default we personally use theme directory inside public for custom styles.
