Link to Page to Redirect Users to Their Own Personal Site

[6年前 に Karl Chin によって更新されました。]

Hi Experts,

In designing Liferay site, how can we create a page in the Global Public Site using "Link to Page" to redirect users to their own personal site, for instance, to "My Dashboard"?

I have tried the following but no luck, please help.
https://www.example.com/user/${liferay:screenName}

All the best,
Karl Chin

Hi,
I tried in this way and it works:

<#assign linkUrl = themeDisplay.getPortalURL() />
<#assign screenName = themeDisplay.getUser().screenName />

<a href="${linkUrl}/user/${screenName}">My Dashboard</a>

You can also use this to redirect to user account page:

<a href="${themeDisplay.getURLMyAccount()}">My account </a>

Hi Massimo,

Thanks for your reply. What are the exact steps for implementing the solution you used?

From your code, I think your approach is to do customization on a theme on some FreeMarker files (*.ftl).

Would there be a simpler way to achieve this? Thank you.

All the best,

Hi Karl,

I don't know if there is a simple way to do it.

For my solution you can do in one of these ways:

1)If you are using one custom theme insert the my code inside one .ftl file inside "templates" folder, maybe portal_normal.ftl (where do you want to display the "my dashboard" button?)

2)For my tests I putted the code inside an Application display templates(ADT) because there I have "themeDisplay" available"

3) you can put the code inside a web content template, but you need to retrive "themeDisplay" in this way:

<#assign serviceContext = staticUtil["com.liferay.portal.kernel.service.ServiceContextThreadLocal"].getServiceContext()>
<#assign themeDisplay = serviceContext.getThemeDisplay() />

<#assign linkUrl = themeDisplay.getPortalURL() />
<#assign screenName = themeDisplay.getUser().screenName />

<a href="${linkUrl}/user/${screenName}">My Dashboard</a>

Remember if you want to use "static util" or others liferay service you need to delete in
Control panel -> System settings -> Foundation -> Freemarker engine
the Restricted variables (a server restart is required after that.

If you need help let me know

Best regards

Massimo
