Ok, this idea sounds good but where will you put this ?

You have to add the above code in web form portlet in the respective JSP page and override it in ext environment.

Hi and thank for the fast answer.
I'm in development mode ( I set the good environment variables in the portal-ext.properties about the css, javascript and templates) but I doubt that it changes something on the portlet development. I'm modifying the web-form portlet (the one it comes with the latest 5.2.3) but I can't see the changes. Usually, you need to change something in the view.jsp file to see something but when I add a test <div>test</div> nothing happens. Do I need something else ?

By the same way, I would like to know what I have to add in the portal-ext.properties file to make the web-form portlet works.

thanks a lot

I hope you don't need to do any changes in portal-ext.properties file.

If you have the development environment for ext then create the same folder structure of portlet same as like Liferay source in the ext under ext-web environment. Take the view.jsp source of the web form portlet of Liferay source code into the created web form portlet under ext in ext-web environment and try to add the code in the view.jsp and use the ant target deploy-fast to view the changes.

The one I suggested was not an recommended practice because now liferay is suggesting to use Hooks concept under plugin enviromment inorder to do the JSP changes.

Thanks,

Hi Marcus,

Even myself started looking into recommended practice so even I'm not sure about the implementation. I find one interesting blog which gives you some idea on hooks. Please refer this Blog Post hope it should help you and you can also find some wiki articles.

Hi i hope it's help you;

<form name="get" action="<portlet:actionURL ></portlet:actionURL>" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
<input type="file" name="file_upload">
<input type="submit" id="form_file" name="form_file">
</form>

Hum that's not very helpfull in fact... As you said, I added a file input to my form. When I send it, the actionRequest then (in WebFormPortlet) does not contain my file, and the validation fails. It seems it is harder to add the support of files in WebForm

Hi Everyone !!

You will need to edit four different files. view.jsp, edit_field.jsp, WebFormPortlet.java, and ConfigurationActionImpl.java

edit_field.jsp:

<aui:option selected="<%= fieldType.equals(&quot;file&quot;) %>" value="file"><liferay-ui:message key="file" /></aui:option>

view.jsp:

<c:when test="<%= fieldType.equals(&quot;file&quot;) %>">
	<aui:input cssClass="<%= fieldOptional ? &quot;optional&quot; : StringPool.BLANK %>" label="<%= HtmlUtil.escape(fieldLabel) %>" name="<%= fieldName %>" type="file" value="<%= HtmlUtil.escape(fieldValue) %>" wrap="soft" />
</c:when>

ConfigurationActionImpl.java:

boolean isFileUpload = false;

if ("file".equals("fieldType")) {
	isFileUpload = true;
}

preferences.setValue("isFileUpload", String.valueOf(isFileUpload));

WebFormPortlet.java:

UploadPortletRequest uploadPortletRequest = PortalUtil.getUploadPortletRequest(actionRequest);
File file = uploadPortletRequest.getFile("file");

The form needs to be multipart and the request in the portlet class should be updated to uploadRequest, from this all params need to be get.

[SaiMohan Gadamsetty, modificado 10 Anos atrás.]

Thanks Hussian, your suggestion worked to me. Now I can able to do File operations and even I can able to send web form portlet files as Attachments to the email.

Thanks

Hello.

Could you share the changes in WebFormPortlet? I use multipart/form-data but can not get the file yet.

Best regards.

Hi,

I'm using Liferay 6.2, can I use this solution?
Anyone had this working?

Luis Silva

[Ahmed Sekka, modificado 9 Anos atrás.]

You can do that using EditFileEntryAction . So you directly find the url of portlet which use EditFileEntryAction:

[Luis Silva, modificado 9 Anos atrás.]

Ahmed,
thanks for the suggestion, I'm going to check what I can do it that.
But main goal is not having the attachments on the server but to send them by mail.
I used Nathan code and the file option is available on the form, and it "reads" the file. Reads the value, its missing the upload to the server and after how can I pass this information to WebFormPortlet.java? (and delete it after...) I hardcoded a file from the server and managed to send it in the mail.

Luis Silva
