Adding portlet to a theme

[Yannick Ongena, modificado hace 14 años.]

Is it possible to add a portlet to a custom theme?
For example i have a custom menu portlet with specific items based upon the user and some kind of data.
It is build in a portlet but currently i add this manually to each page.
Is is possible to add this in the template so i won't need to add this on each page?

Try

$theme.runtime("YOUR_PORTLET_ID", "", $velocityPortletPreferences.toString())

or 

<div align="right" class="login">
$theme.runtime("58")
</div>

Greetings,
Corné

Hi Yannick,

If you have a custom portlet (i.e. not one of the core Liferay portlets), you must also add some information about which WAR file the portlet resides in when including a static portlet.

1. To include a core Liferay portlet that is NOT instancable - do as Corné proposes

2. To include a core Liferay portlet that IS instancable - add an instance reference to the run time:

$theme.runtime("56_INSTANCE_qyqy", "", $velocityPortletPreferences.toString())

3. To include a custom portlet with portlet id "myportlet" that is deployed in the plugin "myplugin":

$theme.runtime("myportlet_WAR_myplugin", "", $velocityPortletPreferences.toString())

4. The velocity preferences can be used for example to remove the portlet borders:

$velocityPortletPreferences.setValue("portlet-setup-show-borders", "false")
$theme.runtime("56_INSTANCE_qyqy", "", $velocityPortletPreferences.toString())

Cheers,
Erik

${myPlaceURL.setWindowState("maximized")}
${myPlaceURL.setPortletMode("view")}
${myPlaceURL.setParameter("javax.portlet.action", "doSearch")}

<form action="${myPlaceURL.toString()}" method="post" id="customsearch_WAR_CustomSearchportlet_INSTANCE_abcd_fm">  
	<input type="text" name="customsearch_WAR_CustomSearchportlet_INSTANCE_abcd_search" id="customsearch_WAR_CustomSearchportlet_INSTANCE_abcd_search">

I'm also getting the "you do not have the required roles to access this portlet" error. Its weird because I'm logged in as the administrator and should have access to everything. Any ideas?

[Jesse Paria, modificado hace 12 años.]

Not sure about this but I think if you go into the control panel and select plugins configuration and then select portlet plugins. You can add and edit the roles for that plugin. Perhaps you don't have administrator role applied to that plugin. Seems strange but I suppose it is possible.
The other thing to check is what roles you have specified in the portlet itselt in the portlet.xml file.

Hope this helps
