I want to add one field to the default user table . How can I do it ??I am using Liferay 6.1 + Eclipse IDE +Mysql.

Hi,

Without touching Liferay user services, we can achieve this through Custom Attribute . Liferay provides Custom field feature . It will extend the user service through Expando bridge . Please refer this document :

Hi,

You have to select , there is one TEXT FIELD instead of TEXT While creating custom field.

You can received the custom field like this in any portlet :

user.getExpandoBridge().getAttribute("customFieldName");

How to get the custom field value added to an organization?

[Gnaniyar Zubair, modificado hace 11 años.]

Each entity has expando bridge method.

<Entity>.getExpandoBridge().getAttribute("CUSTOM-FIELD");

<Entity>.getExpandoBridge().setAttribute("CUSTOM_FIELD","VALUE");

[Albert Devarajan, modificado hace 11 años.]

organization.getExpandoBridge().getAttribute("CUSTOM-FIELD");

When i tried like this i am getting a error???organization cannot be resolved
