Wishing to add a Sign In area from within portal_normal.vm

[Andrew Grimo, módosítva 14 év-val korábban]

I'm interested in setting up a login area at the top of our site, just above the ".back-container" or portal window and am looking for insights into what would work.

I don't know that I could place the jsp code used in the login portlet into the velocity files, so I think I'm looking for ideas possibly using a standard web form. I've glanced at the html produced by liferay's login portlet but am unsure that this is a valuable direction to take.

What have others been doing for creating a custom login area using their velocity template files?

Thanks!

Did you find a way of doing this ?
I'm trying to achieve the same thing but getting nowhere.

Thanks

Hi Andrew,

To add a portlet using velocity template files you can refer this wiki article.

Seems Andrew isn't replying to this anymore, but as i'm having the same issue....
I've tried including the login portlet but the thing is that i want to a completely different look&feel for it when it's placed on the header section. One approach i tried was to pass a parameter to it like:

$velocityPortletPreferences.setValue("inside-header", "true")
$theme.runtime("58", "", $velocityPortletPreferences.toString())

And override the login.jsp to use that parameter and output different HTML depending on the parameter value. But i couldn't get access to the parameter. Any ideia how i can have access from login.jsp to a parameter passed from the place where the portlet is included ? Or any other ideia on how to accomplish this ?

Thanks again.

Stick it inside a named div so that your css selectors can be targetted to it.

That was helpful, where can one find a list of included portlets that can be called?

I found this older list of the variables that can be used:
http://content.liferay.com/4.3/misc/theme-api-4.3.0.html

Is there a similar one for the built-in out of the box portlets for 5.2?

Ok, I added the search bar a few weeks ago in the header by the following code:

<div align="center" class="search">
$theme.journalContentSearch()
</div>

Looks great,simple no frills and shows up right under the company logo.

I found the reference to liferay-portlet.xml for a portlet list. using the above as an example and to get anything to display I used the following:

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

This put the entire "fat" version of the login portlet into my header. Is there a pre-built theme that might have a login setup very similar to how facebook.com does it in the upper right?

You can add login portlet in theme VM by code:

$theme.runtime("58")

or

$taglibLiferay.runtime('58', '', '')

further u can modify login portlet using hooks on it, if required.
