Hi Saritha,

Do you want to add extra section to existing ones like Organization,Personal Site?

These form sections can be configured through properties at the portal-ext.properties file.
The following are 3 properties determine which sections are available when creating a new user account:

users.form.update.main=details,password,organizations,sites,user-groups,roles,personal-site,categorization
users.form.update.identification=addresses,phone-numbers,additional-email-addresses,websites,instant-messenger,social-network,sms,open-id
users.form.update.miscellaneous=announcements,display-settings,comments,custom-fields

HTH!

Hi Saritha,

You can do that via hook by overriding portal.properties.

Add this in liferay-portlet.xml of hook
<hook>
<portal-properties>portal.properties<portal-properties>
<hook>

Add extra property e.g. - ABC at the end.
users.form.my.account.main=details,password,organizations,sites,user-groups,roles,categorization,ABC

Hi Saritha

It was property mistake from my end.. I aplologize for that...

If you want to add new section , while adding Users, override portal.properties as I mentioned above and in that, add below property in the file

users.form.add.main= abc

This shall be appended to the existing ones like - details, organizations,personal-site

HTH!

[saritha reddy, modificado hace 9 años.]

Am really thankful to you Manali you saved my day.
Now it is showing the added menu.

And one more question is if i want to add some function like whenever we click on that Added menu the main page should get changed like organization and personal site.
And to that changed page if i want to add some custom fields, What must i do.

If you know how to do that please let me know.

Create jsp with name same as your menu item and add that into hook. You can add custom field related liferay ui tags in that jsp.

[Manali Lalaji, modificado hace 9 años.]

Hi Saritha,

If you want to add jsp for the new menu item, you can add that in path

/WEB-INF/custom_jsps/html/portlet/users_admin/user/abc.jsp

Add that entry in liferay-hook.xml ---> <custom-jsp-dir>/WEB-INF/custom_jsps</custom-jsp-dir>

You can create custom field and access custom field in that jsp using <liferay-ui:custom-attribute> tag.

HTH!

Hi Saritha,

Good to know you are able to make progress, but if you are searching for custom fields in _User table, they dont exist there.
They exist in Expando Table

Hi Manali

I have followed your links and some other forums also but am able to insert data into exapando table only when am creating fields through controlpanel.
When am creating fields with hook it is not getting inserted into expando table.

Could you pls assist me to do this or do you have any application of this kind to provide me.
Actually I have created Menu on the side panel like learner and to that menu in main page I have added a field like schoolname input box and trying to insert that schoolname which I have enterd but it is not getting inserted in to expando table.


Pls help me with this issue.

Hi Saritha,

You also need to submit form inside jsp and in action method you can save custom field value in User table.

Refer below link for more details,

Thanks.

Hi Mayur

Thank for the reply.

1.Actually in the link you have send we need toaccss action class from jsp so we can pass the captured values into action then we can insert into expando table
2.But am using hook so am unable to access action class by following that link.
3. if you want to access action class from jsp using hook there are 2 ways from knowledge(correct me if am wrong)
a. by mentioning the action in your portal.properties like
login.events.pre=com.falcorp.dbe.TestAction
b. By using ext plugin.

Now my problem is i dont know which property i have to use for my requirement.
I read how to create ext plugin but i dont know how to apply to my hook .

Actually I am attaching my screenshot of what did and from that screen i have a menu like learner1 in the right side panel, and to that particular menu i have cretaed page with few fields, exactly those fields i want to insert into expando table when ever click save .
For that only i was trying to access action class from my own custom hook jsp.

Please some one help me what i have to do for my requirement and how?.

Actually am struggling with this issue almost from a week .


Thank you in advance.
