Create a regular Liferay page that contains "MyAccount"

[Thomas Kellerer, modifié il y a 13 années.]

Hi,

is it possible to create a regular Liferay page (that shows up in the navigation) that gives the user the ability to modify his/her account.

So essentially a page with the "My Account" portlet that looks like all other pages, and is not displayed as part of the Control Panel

To make My Account portlet not available in Control Panel and show just as any other normal addable portlet, you have to modify the liferay-portlet.xml

The first portlet with portlet id 2 is My Account portlet. There is a tag at the end named <system>true</system>

Remove or comment that line and restart the server

I don't want to remove it from the Control Panel. It should still be in there for aministrators.

I simply want to create a page where regular users can edit their profile without the need to "change" to the control panel (which looks totally different than the rest of portal).

Then you have to create a custom portlet for that with whatever details and look that you want and add it in that page and you have to use My Account portlet as a reference.

OK, I feared that we'll need to do our custom development.

Which is really a shame, it should be possible to simply put that (already available) portlet on a page outside the control panel.

Thanks

Hi, Thomas--

Did you eventually create your own replacement portlet for 'myaccount' or did you figure out how to get the 'myaccount' portlet onto a regular page?

I agree that it really is a shame we would have to write our own, as the myaccount portlet is quite nicely laid out already and having to delve into the API for user update functions for our own custom portlet wasn't part of our plan. But anyhow, I was just curious how you eventually solved this problem.

Hey did you find a way of doing this...?
To create a page for user to manage his user details..

Thanks

I don't think creating your own is absolutely necessary.

You can probably copy the portlet info in portlet.xml and liferay-portlet.xml to define a new portlet using all of the same info. Just don't call it portlet '2', and strip the system flag from the entry in liferay-portlet.xml.

Here's how to do it with 6.1.1 GA2, just be careful with the ext.
