Is it possible to pass form data from template to portlet?

[Zsolt Vilhelm, modificado 12 Anos atrás.]

Hello!

What I would like to know, is that If I have a form, hardcoded in my template... is it possible to somehow pass the form data to , lets say a search portlet?
The action url should be something like this:
<liferay-portlet:actionURL portletName="stdSearchPortlet_WAR_stdSearchPortlet_INSTANCE_NJ2w"/>
but i belive it's not gonna work if I embed it into a template......

Thanks in advance!

Should be possible with PortletURLFactory instance.

This instance is set as one of Velocity's variables, so you can use it in your template.

#set ( $target_layout_plid = 1089)
#set ( $search_portlet_name = "3_instance_3f01" );

#set ($search_portlet_url = $portletURLFactory.create($request, $search_portlet_name, $themeDisplay.getPlid(), "ACTION_PHASE"))
                                
$search_portlet_url.setWindowState("normal")
$search_portlet_url.setPortletMode("view")
$search_portlet_url.setParameter("userId", "$userId")

<form method="POST" action="$search_portlet_url.toString()" name="sign_up">
Name : <input type="text" name="my_name">
<input value="Sign Up" type="submit"> 
</form>

I'm new to liferay. Could you please tell me , what exactly :
#set ( $target_layout_plid = 1089) is? Thanks

Hi Zsolt,

Do you mean velocity template? or Web content template?

[Zsolt Vilhelm, modificado 12 Anos atrás.]

Velocity!

You could set actionURL on your component in the .vm file using JavaSrcipt.

Eg:

<a href="" onclick="submitURL()" id="id">Search</a>

Here, the portlet containing the definition of submitURL() must be loaded before this statement as shown below:

    $velocityPortletPreferences.setValue("portlet-setup-show-borders", "false")
    #set($locRenderedPortletContent = $theme.runtime("yourSearch_WAR_portlet", "", $velocityPortletPreferences.toString()))
    $locRenderedPortletContent
    $velocityPortletPreferences.reset()
    #end

The code in the portlet to set the URL could be as mentioned below:

	
<portlet:renderurl name="searchURL" var="searchURL">
	<portlet:param name="action" value="xyz" />
</portlet:renderurl>


<script type="text/javascript">
function submitURL(){
		document.getElementById("id").href='<%=searchURL%>';
	}
</script>

Hope this helps.
