Are buttons meant to work at this point?

https://dev.liferay.com/develop/learning-paths/mvc/-/knowledge_base/6-2/creating-action-buttons

that is, on completion of the above? If so, how are they activated?

[Alexey Kakunin, modificado 8 Anos atrás.]

Hi Charles!

What do you mean under activation?

I mean - what causes them to appear? (Because i can't get them to appear)

[Andew Jardine, modificado 8 Anos atrás.]

Is the entire button missing? or are you just missing the options from the button itself?

Based on what the tutorial is showing (I just scanned it quickly) you're providing features based on a users permissions. Which user are you working with? the default test user or a custom user you have created?

[Charles Johnson, modificado 8 Anos atrás.]

Well i can't see anything at all. The Add Guestbook Add Entry buttons are there but i don't know where the 'context menu' style buttons this section creates are even meant to appear.

I'm viewing as the default [e-mail] user

[Andew Jardine, modificado 8 Anos atrás.]

Ok -- so your user should have permission. Can you share with us the code for the JSP where you have the button defined, as well as the JSP with the button logic?

<%@include file="/html/init.jsp"%>

<%
	String mvcPath = ParamUtil.getString(request, "mvcPath");

	ResultRow row = (ResultRow) request
			.getAttribute(WebKeys.SEARCH_CONTAINER_RESULT_ROW);

	Entry entry = (Entry) row.getObject();
%>

<liferay-ui:icon-menu>

	<c:if test="<%= EntryPermission.contains(permissionChecker, entry.getEntryId(), ActionKeys.UPDATE) %>">
		<portlet:renderurl var="editURL">
			<portlet:param name="entryId" value="<%= String.valueOf(entry.getEntryId()) %>" />
			<portlet:param name="mvcPath" value="/html/guestbook/edit_entry.jsp" />
		</portlet:renderurl>

		<liferay-ui:icon image="edit" message="Edit" url="<% =editURL.toString() %>" />
	</c:if>

	<c:if test="<%=EntryPermission.contains(permissionChecker, entry.getEntryId(), ActionKeys.PERMISSIONS) %>">

		<liferay-security:permissionsurl modelResource="<%= Entry.class.getName() %>" modelResourceDescription="<%= entry.getMessage() %>" resourcePrimKey="<%= String.valueOf(entry.getEntryId()) %>" var="permissionsURL" />

		<liferay-ui:icon image="permissions" url="<%= permissionsURL %>" />

	</c:if>
	<c:if test="<%=EntryPermission.contains(permissionChecker, entry.getEntryId(), ActionKeys.DELETE) %>">

		<portlet:actionurl name="deleteEntry" var="deleteURL">
			<portlet:param name="entryId" value="<%= String.valueOf(entry.getEntryId()) %>" />
			<portlet:param name="guestbookId" value="<%= String.valueOf(entry.getGuestbookId()) %>" />
		</portlet:actionurl>

		<liferay-ui:icon-delete url="<%=deleteURL.toString() %>" />
	</c:if>

</liferay-ui:icon-menu>

is the button code (currently showing 'bogus' [afaics] error messages in the Liferay IDE)

[Andew Jardine, modificado 8 Anos atrás.]

What happens if you use this instead --

<%@include file="/html/init.jsp"%>

<%
String mvcPath = ParamUtil.getString(request, "mvcPath");

ResultRow row = (ResultRow) request
.getAttribute(WebKeys.SEARCH_CONTAINER_RESULT_ROW);

Entry entry = (Entry) row.getObject();
%>

<liferay-ui:icon-menu>

<portlet:renderurl var="editURL">
<portlet:param name="entryId" value="<%= String.valueOf(entry.getEntryId()) %>" />
<portlet:param name="mvcPath" value="/html/guestbook/edit_entry.jsp" />
</portlet:renderurl>

<liferay-ui:icon image="edit" message="Edit" url="<% =editURL.toString() %>" />


<liferay-security:permissionsurl modelResource="<%= Entry.class.getName() %>" modelResourceDescription="<%= entry.getMessage() %>" resourcePrimKey="<%= String.valueOf(entry.getEntryId()) %>" var="permissionsURL" />

<liferay-ui:icon image="permissions" url="<%= permissionsURL %>" />


<portlet:actionurl name="deleteEntry" var="deleteURL">
<portlet:param name="entryId" value="<%= String.valueOf(entry.getEntryId()) %>" />
<portlet:param name="guestbookId" value="<%= String.valueOf(entry.getGuestbookId()) %>" />
</portlet:actionurl>

<liferay-ui:icon-delete url="<%=deleteURL.toString() %>" />

</liferay-ui:icon-menu>

(all I have done is removed the permission checks)

EDIT: I mean I remove the conditional logic that might be preventing the button from displaying.

Unfortunately that doesn't change anything

Hrm; it looks like you've identified some missing instructions in this Learning Path. There's one step left after you've completed this.

Open the Guestbook portlet's view.jsp file and scroll down to the bottom. You're about to add a column to the Search Container, so place your cursor after the last column, but before the ending tag

. Add this tag:

<liferay-ui:search-container-column-jsp path="/html/guestbook/guestbook_actions.jsp" align="right" />

This causes the action buttons to display for each Guestbook entry.

Thanks for catching this; we'll post an update soon!

Thanks. It would have been useful to have a copy of the source code to go along with the tutorial too
