What is the use of *.flt files in classic theme of Liferay 6?

[zaheer mohammed saddapalli, modifié il y a 13 années.]

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

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

I know freemarker template language.

Let me explan in detail. There are bith Velocity Template and Freemarker Template file available in templates folder of classic theme in Liferay 6.

Why both?

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...
