Suppose I want to use it in jsp.How I have to use it or liferay internally have this js library or i have to import this in externally .


Please provide the reply.

Thanks,

From Liferay 6 onwards jquery no longer included by default . You need to explicitly include it in your portlet or theme (if you want to use in all portlets).

Below blog will help you on the same.

Hi Kiran,

it depends .

If you want to use it in a single jsp use the html script-tag to include it.

If you want to use it in multiple places/ different portlets you have two possibilities:
- you can put the jquery js file in a custom theme (theme dependant but you can insert business logic how and when you include it) or
- use the "javascript.barebone.files" property in the portal-ext.properties file so jquery is always available e.g. also in the control panel portlets (theme independant)

Thank you Jitendra,

I follow the link and I am try to develop the jquerry portlet by following the links w r to your link.

But here I am not understanding the following things.

Build a project called “sample-jquery-portlet” with folder “docroot” and build.xml
Add CSS under the folder /docroot/css
Add images under the folder /docroot/css
Add jquery under the folder /docroot/js
Add liferay-display.xml, liferay-plugin-package.properties, liferay-portlet.xml, portlet.xml under the folder /docroot/WEB-INF
Especially, add following lines, for example, in the file liferay-portlet.xml.
<portlet>
<portlet-name>1</portlet-name>
<icon>/images/world.png</icon>
<header-portlet-css>/css/style.css</header-portlet-css>
<header-portlet-javascript>/js/jquery.js</header-portlet-javascript>
<footer-portlet-javascript>/js/jquery-ui-custom.js</footer-portlet-javascript>
<css-class-wrapper>sample-jquery-portlet</css-class-wrapper>
</portlet>

and also I am not understand the following statement.
Note that the property header-portal-javascript sets the path of JavaScript that will be referenced in the page's header relative to the portal's context path; and the property footer-portal-javascript sets the path of JavaScript that will be referenced in the page's footer relative to the portal's context path.
But in the above where I can find the jquery-ui-custom.js filw and I have a bit confusion to create the directory structure. as he mentioned in the document.
I have created docroot folder,inside i have created css,js foloders. And I am putting the .css,.png.,.jpg files in css folder.

Am I correct ?

Thanks,

Kiran
