Hi there,

for my current portlet project I developed a custom "calendarType" taglib and I want it to be adapted by the liferay portal as well.

Does anybody know how to "hook" a taglib for the liferay portal source?

Hello, I've the same problem, Did you find the solution?

Cheers.

Same question here : how can I add a custom taglib through a hook instead of an ext-plugin ?

Hello,

Sorry for digging up old post, but I'm asking myself the same question and there is still no answer...

Any idea if it's possible to use hook to overwrite liferay taglibs ? Or isn't it only possible through an ext plugin?

Thx

Well, finally it's pretty easy to hook taglibs.

Just create a hook plugin set the following line in the liferay-hook.xml :


Then, add the taglib files you want to override inside the custom_jsps folder of your project.


Let say you want to override the liferay-ui:header, just copy the init.jsp file and the page.jsp located in the Liferay sources into :

and then, copy the files to your project in the following folder :
.

You can now deploy your hook !

I did this with Liferay 6.1
