Introduction #

The Asset framework allows any type of content to be displayed/edited/added in asset publisher. These type of content that use this framework are called assets and can be classified using tags and categories.

Assets defined in Core portlets #

By default, in the portal there are several types of content (assets) that implement the Asset Framework:

• Web Content
• Image Gallery Image
• Blog Entry
• Document Library Document
• Bookmark
• Message Board message
• Wiki page
• Calendar Event

And in the plugins, we have:

• Knowledge Base article

Disabling predefined assets #

Assets from the portal can be disabled using this property from portal.properties:

    #
    # Set a property with the prefix "asset.renderer.enabled." and a suffix
    # with the asset renderer factory class name to enable or disable an asset
    # renderer factory. The default setting is true. See LPS-6085 for more
    # information.
    #
    #asset.renderer.enabled.com.liferay.portlet.documentlibrary.asset.DLFileEntryAssetRendererFactory=false

Using the asset framework in custom portlets #

You can also create your own assets in a plugin using this framework. For detailed instructions check the chapter about the asset framework in the Developer Guide (direct links per version provided below):
