Velocity Liferay Services

[Tom Mahy, geändert vor 12 Jahren.]

Hi,

so im trying to call some services in my theme. My theme is a velocity theme.

inside navigation.vm i have :

#set($currentGroup = $layout.getGroup())
#set($currentGroupName = $currentGroup.getName())

$currentGroupName

and it shows the current group name, as it should.

now i have :

 #set($groupService = $serviceLocator.findService("com.liferay.portal.service.GroupLocalService"))
 #set($group = $groupService.getCompanyGroup($companyId))
$group

in the page it shows : $group and not the value.
no errors in the logs.

$groupService shows me : com.liferay.portal.service.GroupLocalServiceImpl@73345
So it seems that the class is loaded.

in my portal-ext.properties i have :
journal.template.velocity.restricted.variables=

what am i missing ?

i also followed : http://www.liferay.com/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Access+Liferay+Services+in+Velocity
but these examples do not work either.


Thank you.

Can you just try
$groupService.getCompanyGroup($companyId).getName()

Thank you

Hi Tom,

I've found the problem. Its companyId variable name.
As per init.vm it should be $company_id instead of $companyId

Please use $company_id and check. It worked for me.

Thanks,
