Unable to embed portlet without border

[Juraj Lonc, geändert vor 12 Jahren.]

I need to embed portlet directly to theme. Portlet is shown, but with borders. And I am not able to manage it to show it without borders.

I tryed both instanceable and non-instaceable portlet (liferay-portlet.xml).

<instanceable>true</instanceable>

I tryed to set portlet preferences (portlet.xml)

<portlet-preferences>
    		<preference>
        		<name>portlet-setup-show-borders</name>
        		<value>false</value>
    		</preference>
</portlet-preferences>

portal_normal.vm contains:

$velocityPortletPreferences.setValue("portlet-setup-show-borders", "false")
#set ($portletId = 'authorityswitcher_WAR_webclient11SNAPSHOT')
#set ($instanceId = 'abcd')
#set ($myPortletId = "${portletId}_INSTANCE_${instanceId}")

$taglibLiferay.runtime($myPortletId, "", $velocityPortletPreferences.toString())

The only way I figured out was to turn borders off manually. That is not good solution.
What am I doing wrong?

can you please let me know which liferay version you are using?

[Juraj Lonc, geändert vor 11 Jahren.]

liferay-portal-6.1.0-ce-ga1
with tomcat-7.0.23

[amit doshi, geändert vor 11 Jahren.]

It was changed in liferay-portal-6.1.0-ce-ga1

Use below one it will work

<preference>
				<name>portletSetupShowBorders</name>
				<value>false</value>
			</preference>

and for velocity try below one

$velocityPortletPreferences.setValue("portletSetupShowBorders", "false")

Let me know if any issue .

And also if it works for you then plz mark my answer correct. So, it helps others.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Amin,
this parameter doesn't work

<preference>
				<name>portletSetupShowBorders</name>
				<value>false</value>
			</preference>

neither

$velocityPortletPreferences.setValue("portletSetupShowBorders", "false")

I also work with
liferay-portal-6.1.0-ce-ga1
with tomcat-7.0.23

Just remove the portlet from the page and once again drag and drop it will work.

I am also working with the same version. It is working fine for me.

[Juraj Lonc, geändert vor 11 Jahren.]

Amit Doshi, we are talking about portlet embedded into theme. So it is NOT possible to remove or drag&drop back again...

[Amit Doshi, geändert vor 11 Jahren.]

Check it whether without embedding in theme. The following code works for that particular portlet.

As you have already put the below code for that portlet.

<portlet-preferences>
            <preference>
               <name>portletSetupShowBorders</name>
                <value>false</value>
            </preference>
</portlet-preferences>

Then the portlet should be shown in that particular page without border wherever you drop it.

Actually I have used this workaround.
Unfortunately it has one very negative side. If you add such portlet to standard page (by mistake) that you are in trouble, because there is no way how to remove this portlet. You will have to remove whole page a create new one.

Hi Juraj,

this can be solved by deleting the corresponding entry in the liferay db in the table "portletpreferences". If your portal was running while deleting the entry you should go to the control panel -> server administration -> "delete db cache" or restart the portal.

Hi All,

sorry to come late on post.

Actually the syntax that I posted before is correct but there is some bug in Liferay 6.1

We need to refresh with Ctrl +R to see the changes into effect.

Please also refer below post

Hope it helps.

Hello Guys,

Here i find the issue for the same in Liferay.

http://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-27160

[Ravali Rachuri, geändert vor 11 Jahren.]

Hi ,

When I made the portlet as instanceable and copied that instance id while embedding the portlet,
and after that when i used $velocityPortletPreferences.setValue("portletSetupShowBorders", "false")
it's working fine.

Regards,
Ravali.

Hello.

Try changing the "instanceId" to another value.
I noted that after showing a page with a portlet embedded in the theme, I can't modify its preferences.

I hope that helps.
Regards.
