Hi Simon,

Yes i am definitely posting the solution.

I have done this with Liferay API as

InputStream is = MycustomPortlet.class.getClassLoader().getResourceAsStream("resource/MyInfo.vm");

Let me know if you need any more info.

Hope it will help.

Best,

Hi Gaurang,

A newbie question,
It is possible to check what all functions are available on custom velocity variables (variable that I define in the structure).?

eg. I created a structure with a Link (named "link") of type "Link to Page" and used
link.getUrl() to get the URL of the linked page. So I was wondering how to check of the other variables that are available with other types (eg. other then getUrl() as in this case).

Hi Gaurang,

Are you talking about the Journal Structure Velocity variable that we are using for Article ?

Please clarify. I Will respond you ASAP.

Thanks,

Hi Gaurang,

Indeed, I was referring to the same. I was looking for what all functions are available on the variables we can create. getUrl() is one such function on type "Link to Page".

Hi Gaurang..
I have some issues with Templates in Liferay ,hoping that you can solve my doubts.

1) How to create JSP templates? There are no samples and documentation available for JSP-based templates in forums/technical documentation.

2) How to incorporate css/htmls received from a web designer into a velocity template; Assuming completely different look and feel. Do you have any examples?

These are the two issues i am facing, can i get ant sample code or documentation for the same and for learning velocity Template??


Thanks in advance..
Any idea or suggestions are welcome..

Even I am curious to know

You can create vm templates just like html page (incorporating vm power).

For example:
<style>
your css goes here...
</style>

<div class="any_class">
#if ($link.getData() != "")
<a href="$link.getData()">
#end
<img alt="" src="$image.getData()" />
#if ($link.getData() != "")
</a>
#end
</div>


Or you can you can just use html tags with proper class and id attributes in vm files and add your css in theme.

Thnaks but instead of using JSP template ,you can use .vm templates in liferay that is easily modifiable .
