Hi All,

I am trying to explore Liferay 6 theme part. I find many *ftl files in classic theme template folder. Here the files

  1. init.ftl
  2. init_custom.ftl
  3. navigation.ftl
  4. portal_normal.ftl
  5. portlet.ftl


Here i would like to know the purpose of those ftl files

With Regards,
S Mohammed Zaheer

Its the extension for a template language called freemarker, just as vm is for velocity. Apparently liferay 6 also supports freemarker along with velocity.

Check out the link that i gave b4, in one of the replies its said that support is given for both, and by default velocity is enabled, i guess there must be some property file which when set, begins to use freemarker
