popup in liferay

To implement popup on popup in liferay is quite simple. We need to have 2 pages one parent page on which 1st popup is already opened and 2nd page which will be opened in 2nd popup.



For 1st page call:
function parentPage(url) {
var popup = Liferay.Popup(
{
stack: true,
draggable:false,
title: 'Parent Page',
position:[110,50],
modal:true,
width:450,
height:365,
url:url
}
);
}
here stack:true property is important which is responsible for pop on popup.url is which page we want to load . It can be portlet url. Other parameters are self explanatory.

In child page you can simply write another popup.

function childPage(url) {
var popup = Liferay.Popup(
{

title: 'Child Page',
position:[110,50],
modal:true,
width:450,
height:365,
url:url
}
);
}

Thanks and Hope this help few people.

Hiding portlet in liferay

Simple Approach:
It is very difficult to hide or show portlet at user level. To get rid of these type of problem liferay provide us Roles. So we can create roles and on those roles we can easily assign permission on each portlet.
Creating role in liferay is very simple.
Just login as Admin and using dock navigate to control panel , click on Role from left panel and then click Add...for more details refer portal administration guide from liferay.
Once this is done click on define permission and select portlet permission.
e.g. Suppose you want to remove view permission from portlet A then uncheck view.



When you will login as user with that role then you will get message something like this.
"you don't have required permission to access this portlet"
Finally to make this portlet invisible for that role user who is not having required permission to view the portlet.In portal-ext.properties add this line
layout.show.portlet.access.denied=false

Reading tempelates in liferay

Brief Overview:
If we see in existing liferay source code then we can find the email tempelates regarding 

create account and forgot password in com/liferay/portlet/admin/dependencies/ and they are read from there.

In 1 case I can tell you from UserLocalServiceImpl and corresponding entry for each tempelate is there in

portal.properties 


Enough theory time to do your self:

1.Just create a folder in ext-impl may be u can choose this path 
ext-impl\src\com\mytempelate

2.Write a simple tempelate 
eg:
Dear [$TO_NAME$],<br /><br />

Hi this is my first tempelate.<br /><br />


Sincerely,<br />
[$FROM_NAME$]

save this as my_first_tmpl.tmpl


3.make an entry in portal-ext.properties 

for our example like this :

ext.myfirst.tempelate=ext-impl\src\com\mytempelate\my_first_tmpl.tmpl
This is just a normal key value pair.

4.Now time to read your tempelate 

String firstTemeplate = PrefsPropsUtil.getContent(user.getCompanyId(),"ext.myfirst.tempelate");

or

String firstTemeplate = ContentUtil.get("ext-impl\src\com\mytempelate\my_first_tmpl.tmpl");



5. We can easily replace the content :
String firstTemeplate= StringUtil.replace(firstTemeplate, new String[] {"[$TO_NAME$]","[$FROM_NAME$]"

}, new String[] {

"any_name","any_name"
});

CK editor in Liferay 6.0

Follow these 4 simple steps.

Step 1.Add below line on your page
<liferay-ui:input-editor width="80%" />.




Step 2.Create hidden variable to set the value of CK editor like below
<aui:input name="content" type="hidden" />


Step 3.Add javascript init method like this

<aui:script>

function <portlet:namespace />initEditor() {

return "<%= UnicodeFormatter.toString(content) %>";

}

</aui:script>


Step 4:On submiting form we can assign CK editor value like this

function <portlet:namespace />saveEntry() {

var message = window.<portlet:namespace />editor.getHTML();

document.<portlet:namespace />fm.<portlet:namespace />content.value = message;

submitForm(document.<portlet:namespace />fm);

}


Currently we are having problem in liferay 6.0 is that when we refresh CK editor page , it gives JS error.

For that fix is like this get html/js/editor/ckeditor.jsp in function initCkArea() comment line 52 and 53 which starts with CKEDITOR.config.toolbar and CKEDITOR.config.customConfig respectively and add below line

ckEditor.setData(parent.<%= HtmlUtil.escape(initMethod) %>());
In the same file comment line number 131 i.e

initCkArea(); and add
if (parent.AUI) {

parent.AUI().on('domready', initCkArea);

}
In side CKEDITOR.replace method at line number 123 in same file comment line starts with filebrowserBrowseUrl , filebrowserUploadUrl and
add below code

customConfig: '<%= PortalUtil.getPathContext() %>/html/js/editor/ckeditor/ckconfig.jsp?p_l_id=<%= plid %>&p_p_id=<%= HttpUtil.encodeURL(portletId) %>&p_main_path=<%= HttpUtil.encodeURL(mainPath) %>&doAsUserId=<%= HttpUtil.encodeURL(doAsUserId) %>&cssPath=<%= HttpUtil.encodeURL(cssPath) %>&cssClasses=<%= HttpUtil.encodeURL(cssClasses) %>',
filebrowserBrowseUrl: '<%= PortalUtil.getPathContext() %>/html/js/editor/ckeditor/editor/filemanager/browser/liferay/browser.html?Connector=<%= connectorURL %>',
filebrowserUploadUrl: null,
toolbar: '<%= TextFormatter.format(HtmlUtil.escape(toolbarSet), TextFormatter.M) %>'


Finally add required import i.e
<%@ page import="com.liferay.portal.util.PortalUtil" %> and one extra variable


String portletId = ParamUtil.getString(request, "p_p_id");

Apply Color Schemes in Liferay Theme

Apply Color Schemes in Our Theme

The technique documented here creates a "color scheme" that has the borders turned off, but preserves the other attributes of the theme, and does so with a single CSS source set (allowing for easier maintenance). It uses a CSS design pattern known as "CSS sub-class selectors." Note that this technique can be used for more than just borders. It can be used when you have several very small variations on a single theme, and you want to keep all of those variations in a single source file.



Step1. import the color scheme css in custom.css and write css for display the color schemes div

@import url(color_schemes/blue.css);
@import url(color_schemes/red.css);

/*------------color Schemes ------------*/
.color_schemes {
position:absolute;
text-align:right;
width:100%;
margin-top:65px;
}

Step2. Then in portal_normal.vm write this code

<div class="color_schemes">
<table border="0" align="right" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>
<td valign="middle" title="change theme color">
<input type="image" src="$images_folder/color_schemes/red.png" onclick="body.className=value; setCookie('bgColor',value,60);" name="theme" value="red" id="red" width="10px" height="10px">
<input type="image" src="$images_folder/color_schemes/blue.png" onclick="body.className=value; setCookie('bgColor',value,60);" name="theme" value="blue" id="blue" width="10px" height="10px">
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
Step3. Then deploy from your theme

Portal Architectur

        In the illustration below, each arrow may be read using the words “can be a member of.” It is important to note that the diagram illustrates only users and their collections. Permissions ` do not flow through all of these collections; permissions can be assigned to roles only.

The following concepts are used throughout Liferay:

·         Portals are accessed by Users.

·         Users can be collected into User Groups.

·         Users can belong to Organizations and join/leave Communities.

·         Roles are collections of permissions on portal objects that can be assigned to Users.

·          Satellite Office. Communities are not hierarchical.š Regional Office šOrganizations can be grouped into hierarchies, such as Home Office

·         Users, Groups, and Organizations can belong to Communities that have a common interest.

·         Within Organizations and Communities, users can belong to Teams, which are groupings of users for specific functions within a community or organization.

Users, Organizations and Communities have two separate collections of Pages called Public and Private Pages. Each page can have as many applications (portlets) as desired. The page administrator can lay out these applications into zones defined by a default or customized layout template.
