Portal Url in VM

[Syed Umair, geändert vor 11 Jahren.]

Hi,
I have developed a structure and template. Currently, I am using localhost:8080 in my template, but when I will deploy my web it should not be localhost. Can anyone suggest me how to get portal url in VM template.
I can get it in jsp using themeDisplay.getPortalURL(), but I dont know how to do it in VM.

Any valuable suggestion will be appreciated.

Could you please try with below code .

#set ($portalUtil= $utiLocator.findUtil("com.liferay.portal.util.portalUtil"))
#set ($portalURL=$portalUtil.getPortalURL($themeDisplay))
$portalURL

Thnx, for your replies. I manage it to do it with

#set($companyLocalService = $serviceLocator.findService("com.liferay.portal.service.CompanyLocalService"))
#set($company = $companyLocalService.getCompany($company_id))
#set($portalURL = $company.getVirtualHostname())

You do not need to define service variable to get company information. You will get the $company object by default in vm file, thus no need to make a database hit.

Also you will need to set the property accordingly in portal.properties, if you want to use service layer (as answered y you)

journal.template.velocity.restricted.variables=serviceLocator

I have tried the $company object and it works same. And it will certainly improve the performance.
