get portlet title in JSP

[Johannes Wagener, módosítva 15 év-val korábban]

Hello
i'm trying to get the portlet title in the view jsp.
<liferay-theme:defineObjects />
<%= themeDisplay.getPortletDisplay().getTitle() %>
works so far. but when i change the portlet title and its saved in the portlet preferences as portlet-setup-title-en_US, i still get the old default title.
is there an easy way to get the correct title (= the same title that is delivered to the browser)?
thank you.

Hi Johannes, can you share your code to store preferences?

sorry, maybe a misunderstanding.
i dont store the title manually.
i changed the portlet title the usual liferay way, by clicking on the portlet title and changing the text.

Oh ok. Let me point you to this post

even portlet.vm gets it from portletdisplay the way you did. Not sure
why the problem?

I have the same problem!

[Mitja Masten, módosítva 14 év-val korábban]

Found the reason.

Portlet JSP page content, where you call <%= portletDisplay.getTitle() %> is executed first. And getTitle() function returns fixed portlet (not custom) title.

Then portal renders portlet content through portal/render_portlet.jsp and common/themes/portlet.jsp. And portlet.jsp reads custom title (PortletConfigurationUtil.getPortletTitle()) and changes portletDisplay title through setTitle() function.

That is the reason, why portlet.vm template return correct custom title!

I think this is some kind of a bug and should be fixed.
Eg. portalDisplay title should be changed in earlier stage.

Hi, i had the same problem, anyone looking on how to solve this, try this in the jsp:

<%
String portletId = themeDisplay.getPortletDisplay().getId();
javax.portlet.PortletPreferences portletSetup = PortletPreferencesFactoryUtil.getLayoutPortletSetup(themeDisplay.getLayout(), portletId);
String portletCustomTitle = themeDisplay.getPortletDisplay().getTitle();
portletCustomTitle = portletSetup.getValue("portlet-setup-title-" + themeDisplay.getLanguageId(),portletCustomTitle);
%>

it gives you the custom title the portlet has, then you just use it where you like

<%=portletCustomTitle%>
