Variables in CMS Templates

[Ahmad Heba Tul Baseet, modificado 12 Anos atrás.]

Hi all,
One question. In CMS Templates, we can access Structure variables thru $strutureVariableName.

Can we get Layout variable or set somehow $layout in CMS Templates.
I tried with

#set($layoutLocalService = $serviceLocator.findService("com.liferay.portal.service.LayoutLocalService"))

but I think $servicelocator is not there. So in simple words,
how to access $layout in CMS Templates, so I can get the layout id of the page, in which that CMS Template/Webcontent is been called.

Hi there,

Have you added the below property in portal-ext.properties file ??

journal.template.velocity.restricted.variables=serviceLocator

HTH,

Please add teh following following property in portal-ext.properties

journal.template.velocity.restricted.variables=

Then you should be able to use servicelocator in CMS template

All right, I give it a try and let you now. Are there any side effects of that?

[Jan Gregor, modificado 12 Anos atrás.]

Basically the servicelocator is deactivated from security reasons. Using it you have full access to the Service API, so basically you can do whatever you want. Once you want to have this control (i.e to access som Service) one way to do it is this way. Other, more complex way, is to add some custom velocity variables to request, which you can then use in your template.

Jan.

ok Thanks. Great explanation.

Actually I wanted the layout ID, and I checked the

 $request.attributes.LAYOUT

. It has layoutid.

But

$request.attributes.LAYOUT.layoutId

or

$request.attributes.LAYOUT.friendlyURL

ist not giving back anything.


but $request.attributes.LAYOUT gives back

{uuid=8773d302-006f-4874-82ce-5b7496aeb028, plid=59825, groupId=59110, companyId=59085, privateLayout=false, layoutId=16, parentLayoutId=4, name=Doppelmedikation, title=, description=, type=portlet, typeSettings=layout-template-id=2_columns_ii column-2=56_INSTANCE_q2pT column-1=56_INSTANCE_h5EK, , hidden=false, friendlyURL=/doppelmedikation1, iconImage=false, iconImageId=0, themeId=, colorSchemeId=, wapThemeId=, wapColorSchemeId=, css=, priority=1, layoutPrototypeId=0, dlFolderId=0}

How can I access

$request.attributes.LAYOUT.friendlyURL

I am an CMS Web Content Templates
Thanks

Can you please try $request.attributes.LAYOUT.get('layoutId')

It seems $request.attributes.LAYOUT.layoutId cant accessible,

To access the layout object, you can take the layout id from the following code, and then call the layout service and access the full object.

##take layout id
#set ($layoutId = $request.get("theme-display").get("plid"))

##get the service for layout
#set($layoutService = $serviceLocator.findService("com.liferay.portal.service.LayoutLocalService"))

##convert the layout id into long
#set ($layoutLong = $getterUtil.getLong($layoutId))

##take a layout object
#set($layout = $layoutService.getLayout($layoutLong))

HTH,
Mayur
