Portlet preferences for Liferay portlet in 6.2

[Aston Pearl, módosítva 9 év-val korábban]

Hello EveryOne,

I'm trying to set preferences for custom portlet. Which is Liferay MVC portlet, using following Doc. as a reference Implementing Configurable Portlet Preferences.

But somehow portlet not able to store store preferences using "--preferences--{fieldname}--" naming convention.

Can any one please pin-point, if there is some issue up here !!!

I hope you have used aui input tags, or if you have plan html input tags then you have <portlet:namespace/> prefix to its name.

Hi Pankaj,

I did use the AUI tags. I have just copy paste the code from given Document get understanding. But still not able to store the preferences.

Try putting debug breakpoints in com.liferay.portal.kernel.portlet.DefaultConfigurationAction class, to check if control is going there or not.

If you can attach your portlet w/ basic configuration - so that we can have a look at actual code

config.jsp

<%@ taglib uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" prefix="c" %>

<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/portlet" prefix="liferay-portlet" %>
<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/theme" prefix="liferay-theme" %>

<portlet:defineobjects />
<liferay-theme:defineobjects />

This is the <b>Config Controller</b> portlet in Config mode

<liferay-portlet:actionurl portletConfiguration="true" var="configurationURL" />

&lt;%
boolean showLocationAddress_cfg = GetterUtil.getBoolean(portletPreferences.getValue("showLocationAddress", StringPool.TRUE));
%&gt;

<aui:form action="<%= configurationURL %>" method="post" name="fm">
    <aui:input name="preferences--showLocationAddress--" type="checkbox" value="<%= showLocationAddress_cfg %>"></aui:input>
    <aui:button-row>
       <aui:button type="submit" />
    </aui:button-row>
</aui:form>

liferay-portlet.xml

<liferay-portlet-app>	
	<portlet>
		<portlet-name>config-controller</portlet-name>
		<icon>/icon.png</icon>		
		[b]<configuration-action-class>com.liferay.portal.kernel.portlet.DefaultConfigurationAction</configuration-action-class>[/b]

		</footer-portlet-javascript>
		<css-class-wrapper>config-controller-portlet</css-class-wrapper>		
	</portlet>
	[indent]...[/indent]
</liferay-portlet-app>

Am I missing something here...???

You are missing below code in your form

    <aui:input name="<%= Constants.CMD %>" type="hidden" value="<%= Constants.UPDATE %>" />

which is required as per implementation of DefaultConfigurationAction.
