[RESOLVED] Accessing tags from velocity journal templates

[Patrik Bergström, módosítva 15 év-val korábban]

Hi!

I'm wondering if there is any way to access the tags for an article through a velocity journal template? I want to list the tags for an article in the article.

The serviceLocator doesn't seem to be able to access classes like TagsAssetLocalServiceImpl or TagsEntryLocalServiceUtil. Which classes are available to the serviceLocator and which are not?

TIA

I managed to solve the issue myself. Here's my solution:

#set ($tagsService = $serviceLocator.findService("com.liferay.portlet.tags.service.TagsAssetLocalService"))
#set ($journalArticleResourceService = $serviceLocator.findService("com.liferay.portlet.journal.service.JournalArticleResourceLocalService"))

#set ($longGroupId = $getterUtil.getLong($groupId))
#set ($articleResourcePK = $journalArticleResourceService.getArticleResourcePrimKey($longGroupId, $reserved-article-id.data))
#set ($tagsAsset = $tagsService.getAsset("com.liferay.portlet.journal.model.JournalArticle", $articleResourcePK))
#set ($tagsEntries = $tagsAsset.getEntries())

Tags:
#foreach( $entry in $tagsEntries )
#set ($tag = $entry.getName())
#if($velocityCount!=1), #end
$tag#end

Edit: The compressed style in the last section is due to the problems with spaces when doing iterations for comma-separated lists like this.

Hello,

this looks great... But in my case (Liferay 5.1.2), the variable $serviceLocator is null and returns nothing if used in article template... Is there any solution for this problem?

cheers, Archie

Hello,
as Ray told it can be dangerous to provide serviceLocator in some cases. I can tell you don't be afraid. You can get access to this services without "activating" serviceLocator. We were talking about this with Artur and we've got résumé that it is pretty dangerous to grant access for template modify to untrustworthy people.

The same example as is above but without serviceLocator:

#set ($tagsService = $portal.getClass().forName("com.liferay.portlet.tags.service.TagsAssetLocalServiceUtil").getMethod("getService", null).invoke(null, null))
#set ($journalArticleResourceService = $portal.getClass().forName("com.liferay.portlet.journal.service.JournalArticleResourceLocalServiceUtil").getMethod("getService", null).invoke(null, null))

I think this should be improved somehow. ;) Maybe with SecurityManager? Don't know.
