Hi All,

I am trying to explore Liferay 6 theme part. I find many *ftl files in classic theme template folder. Here the files

  • init.ftl
  • init_custom.ftl
  • navigation.ftl
  • portal_normal.ftl
  • portlet.ftl


Here i would like to know the purpose of those ftl files

With Regards,

Its the extension for a template language called freemarker, just as vm is for velocity. Apparently liferay 6 also supports freemarker along with velocity.

Check out the link that i gave b4, in one of the replies its said that support is given for both, and by default velocity is enabled, i guess there must be some property file which when set, begins to use freemarker

Excellent feature ....

Here are the setting to use Freemarker Template Language

I have changed template-extion from vm to ftl for enabling Freemarker Templates Language in theme part.


<theme id="classic" name="Classic">
		<root-path>/html/themes/classic</root-path>
		<templates-path>${root-path}/templates</templates-path>
		<images-path>${root-path}/images</images-path>
	[b]	<template-extension>ftl</template-extension>[/b]

</theme>



Thank you Sandeep...
