Hi there!

I would like to ask you, how can I add a portlet to a layout page from sourcecode ?

Thank you: Karoly

Hi Karoly,

Following code will help you.

Layout lay = null;
long userId = USER.getUserId();
String friendlyURL = "/myNewPage";
long groupId = GroupLocalServiceUtil.getGroup(COMPANY.getCompanyId(), GroupConstants.GUEST).getGroupId();
boolean privateLayout = false;
long parentLayoutId = 0;
String name = "myNewPage";
String title = null;
String description = null;
String type = LayoutConstants.TYPE_PORTLET;
boolean hidden = false;
ServiceContext serviceContext = new ServiceContext();

lay = LayoutLocalServiceUtil.addLayout(userId,groupId,privateLayout,parentLayoutId,name,title,description,type,hidden,friendlyURL,serviceContext);

lay.setTypeSettings(ONE_COLUMN);
LayoutLocalServiceUtil.updateLayout(lay);

Portlet portlet = PortletLocalServiceUtil.getPortletById("PORTLET_ID");

LayoutTypePortlet layoutTypePortlet = (LayoutTypePortlet)lay.getLayoutType();

String id = layoutTypePortlet.addPortletId(USER.getUserId(),portlet.getPortletId(),"column-1",-2);

lay = LayoutLocalServiceUtil.updateLayout(lay.getGroupId(), lay.isPrivateLayout(),lay.getLayoutId(), lay.getTypeSettings());

PortletPreferences portletSetup = PortletPreferencesLocalServiceUtil.addPortletPreferences(COMPANY.getCompanyId(), 0, 3, lay.getPlid(), id, portlet, "<portlet-preferences />");

Hi there !

Okay here is my solution for adding a layout:

and then adding a portlet to the layout:

Thanks once more: Karoly

Hi karoly it works.... but can u tell me how more than one portlet will be added to the same portlet....

Hi Nitesh,

these are exactly the typesettings I was referring in your other thread. You can separate the portlet-ids with a comma/semikolon.
