Completely hide a portlet if a user is not allowed to use it

[Thomas Kellerer, modificado 15 Anos atrás.]

Hello,

when I set the portlet permissions in order to limit the access to a portlet to certain roles, the portlet itself is still displayed on the page with a message "You do not have the roles required to access this portlet. "

Is there a way to either completely hide the portlet (in case there are other portlets on the page that the user is allowed to see), or at least customize the message that is displayed?

Thanks
Thomas

Hello Thomas,

You can always customize the message.

Just create Language-ext.properties and update the file with the below key value pair.

Place the created file in %LIFERAY_HOME%/ROOT/WEB-INF/classes/content folder if the folder is not there, then create folder by the said name and place i there.

Restart the server

you-do-not-have-the-roles-required-to-access-this-page={You do not have the roles required to access this page.}
you-do-not-have-the-roles-required-to-access-this-portlet=={You You Can have your own customized message here.}

Cheers

Thanks for the answer (although it isn't quite what I hoped for)

Isn't there an easier way which doesn't require me to use the EXT environment or patch a deployed (third-party) application?

Regards
Thomas


P.S.: Liferay should really try to find a way were we (the "customers") can simply download a war file that can be deployed and upgraded easily. But that's another story.

OK, I can answer my own question.

In liferay-portlet.xml one can add a property per portlet that will enable exactly the behaviour I need (completely hide the portlet if the user as no access)

<liferay-portlet-app>
  <portlet>
    <portlet-name>my_portlet</portlet-name>
    <show-portlet-access-denied>false</show-portlet-access-denied>
    <instanceable>false</instanceable>
    <render-weight>1</render-weight>
    <ajaxable>true</ajaxable>
  </portlet>
</liferay-portlet-app>

Maybe this is the way you would normally configure it:

#
# Set the following to true if users are shown that they do not have access
# to a portlet. The portlet init parameter "show-portlet-access-denied" will
# override this setting.
#
	layout.show.portlet.access.denied=false

This is in portal-ext.properties.
