If you are talking about Add application section ? If yes then you are referring right xml(lifeferay-display.xml ) and settings.

Hi, Sunil.

Do you need to add portlet to the Control Panel category? You can do it with 'liferay-portlet.xml' file, like this:

<liferay-portlet-app>
	<portlet>
		<portlet-name>{YOUR_PORTLET_NAME}</portlet-name>
        <icon>/icon.png</icon>
        <control-panel-entry-category>portal</control-panel-entry-category>
        <control-panel-entry-weight>0</control-panel-entry-weight>
        <instanceable>false</instanceable>
        <render-weight>1</render-weight>
        <ajaxable>false</ajaxable>
        <header-portlet-css>/css/main.css</header-portlet-css>
        <footer-portlet-javascript>/js/main.js</footer-portlet-javascript>
    </portlet>
...
</liferay-portlet-app>

(the order of attributes is important here).

yes you are talking about the right file(liferay-display.xml)....

if you and to change the category ,simply change the category name

[Vitaliy Koshelenko, geändert vor 11 Jahren.]

Yes, simply change the <control-panel-entry-category> value. All available portlet categories are stored in PortletCategoryKeys class (""content", "my", "portal" and "server").
If you want to add custom category - add it to this class in this case.

Hi Sunil,

See this section in portal.properties:

##
## Dockbar Portlet
##

#
# Set the portlet ids that will be shown directly in the "Add Application"
# menu.
#
dockbar.add.portlets=56,101,110,71


If you want to add your portlet, Add your portlet Id here.

Thanks:

Can we add a custom portlet from a hook in the "Add Application" menu with dockbar.add.portlets ?
I tried to do that, but my portlet doesn't appear and there's nothing in the log.

As for Liferay 6.0.6 where is a restriction at the ROOT/html/js/liferay/dockbar.js

if ((/^\d+$/).test(portletId)) {
	Liferay.Portlet.add(
	{
		portletId: portletId
	}
	);
}

It means that only numerical portletIds are supported, but your custom portletIds are named portlertId_WAR_name
So try to fix dockbar.js with hook

You can find portlet id in portlet-custom.xml.
It is in webapps->root-->WEB-INF

Hi,

You can use portletDisplay to get PortletId :

  ThemeDisplay themeDisplay= (ThemeDisplay)renderRequest.getAttribute(WebKeys.THEME_DISPLAY);
  PortletDisplay portletDisplay= themeDisplay.getPortletDisplay();
 String portletId= portletDisplay.getId();

HTH!
