Hi,

i'm using liferay 5.0.1.
Is there any possibility to find the groups of an user in the template using Velocity?
I don't want the community or the organizzation, because i need to check a sort of permission.
I need the groups to show to certain users a different menu

Thanks
Simone

Hi Simone,

Do you mean usergroups? I'm not sure what groups you are referring to.

You can access all the liferay services in the template:
http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Access+to+Liferay+services+in+Velocity

Hi,

You can search for init.vm in portal source. This vm includes all the variables which are available in templates. There is one variable set here

#set ($user_group = $user.getGroup())

You can use the same.


Thanks,
Felix

Thanks for the answer.



I've already tried that method but i didn't found anything good for my needs.
Everything i found is related to the community or the organizzation, and it's not what i'm looking for




Yes, I mean user groups.
I have already read that article, and probably is the only solution (now I'll try it).

what I have to do is for example to show the deck only to the user group "administrator".
If someone has a simpler idea i can try to figure out if it is good for my purpose.

I've found the solution.
I've accessed the liferay services com.liferay.portal.service.UserGroupService from the template and then used it.



After this, i just use an if on isAdministrator variable to show what i want.
If someone have a simpler idea i'm here.

Thanks.
