How to fetch companyId and groupID in theme vm file

[Subhasis Roy, geändert vor 12 Jahren.]

hi,

can any one please tell me that how can I fetch group Id and company Id in portal_normal.vm file and also how to import service classes in theme vm file?

You can access Liferay services inside VM files .

check this link .--> http://itsliferay.blogspot.in/2012/01/use-of-liferay-service-in-velocity-file.html


And to get company id and group id in velocity file ..

($request.get("theme-display").get("company-id"))

($request.get("theme-display").get("scope-group-id"))

Hi,

There is no need to fetch Company Id and GroupId in portal_normal.vm
You will directly get using $company_id and $group_id.

For more information please refer the url http://www.liferay.com/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Access+Objects+from+Velocity

In order to access service, you can use the following way :-

The below is the example for JournalArticle Service.
#set ($journalArticleLocalService = $serviceLocator.findService("com.liferay.portlet.journal.service.JournalArticleLocalService"))


Hope it helps.

Thanks & Regards,

Hi,

The below is the example for JournalArticle Service.
#set ($journalArticleLocalService = $serviceLocator.findService("com.liferay.portlet.journal.service.JournalArticleLocalService"))

I have created one custom service util class(MyUserExtLocalServiceUtil).

Then I tried to access the class in vm file using following code.

#set ($myUserExtLocalServiceUtil = $serviceLocator.findService("com.test.service.MyUserExtLocalServiceUtil"))
#set ($my_list = $myUserExtLocalServiceUtil.findByGroupId(10959))

But that code did not work. Because its not able to import my custom util class

set the below property in portal-ext and then try

 journal.template.velocity.restricted.variables=

Hi Roy,

You are trying to access the util class with the serviceLocator, it will not work.

you need to access the Service Class for it.

I modified your code.

#set ($myUserExtLocalServiceUtil = $serviceLocator.findService("com.test.service.MyUserExtLocalService"))
#set ($my_list = $myUserExtLocalServiceUtil.findByGroupId(10959))

Hope it works now.

If i am not wrong then we can also access findservice in this way .

#set ($customLocalService = $serviceLocator.findService('Custom-portlet', 'com.test.service.CustomLocalService'))

Where the first argument is portlet id .

Hi Amit,

Let me tell you what I did till now.

I created my custom ext service for "AssetEntry" table of liferay and put the jar files in proper location.
ext-service.jar inside "liferay\tomcat-7.0.25\lib\ext"
rest of the jars(ext-impl.jar,ext-util-bridges.jar,ext-util-java.jar,ext-util-taglib.jar) files I put under "\webapps\ROOT\WEB-INF\lib"

Then I put the following code in my init_custom.vm file
#set ($myUserExtLocalServiceUtil = $serviceLocator.findService("com.test.service.MyUserExtLocalService"))
#set ($my_list = $myUserExtLocalServiceUtil.findByGroupId(10959))

In portal_normal.vm file I tried to access the my_list variable
<p>$my_list</p>


But it showing me the following error :

I used the following code

#set ($joinNALifeUserExtLocalServiceUtil = $utilLocator.findUtil("com.joinnalife.asset.entry.service.JoinNALifeUserExtLocalServiceUtil"))
#set ($my_list2 = $joinNALifeUserExtLocalServiceUtil.findByGroupId(10959))

I have used the utilLocator.findUtil

Its showing me the following console error:

Hi Subhasis,
If you want to invoke Liferay in-built Services, you need to call

#set ($liferayLocalService = $serviceLocator.findService("com.liferay.portal.service.SomeLiferayLocalService"))

This will internally call PortalBeanLocatorUtil to locate the liferay service.

If you want to invoke a custom service in your portlet, you need to call

#set ($customLocalService = $serviceLocator.findService("Custom-portlet", "com.my.service.CustomLocalService"))

This will internally invoke the PortletBeanLocatorUtil to locate using the portlet name.

Thanks,
Siby

[amit doshi, geändert vor 12 Jahren.]

Hi Subhasis,

I agree with Jitendra and Siby Mathew

#set ($customLocalService = $serviceLocator.findService("Custom-portlet", "com.my.service.CustomLocalService"))

But also need to put that particular service jar in <TOMCAT_HOME>/ext/lib/ then only you will be access the service.

Hope it helps.

Thanks & Regards,
Amit Doshi

Use these variables directly as
$group_id => will give you groupId
$company_id => Will give you company id

These are in build variables like request, you will get values at run time
