This is how you get the theme context path in a velocity webcontent template in Liferay.
#set ($pathThemeImages = $xmlRequest.replaceFirst('(?s).*<path-theme-images>(.*)</path-theme-images>.*', '$1')) #set ($themeContextName = $pathThemeImages.replaceFirst('http.*//(.*)/(.*)/images', '/$2')) $themeContextName
