Rewrite a portlet definition in liferay-portlet-ext.xml doesn't work

[Jordi Ribas Vila, modificado 16 Anos atrás.]

Hello,

I'm trying to rewrite the definition of 'site_map' liferay portlet in liferay-portlet-ext.xml but the changes aren't loadeds. I want 'site_map' can be called in any community with a valid URL like 'my_account' portlet.
How can I make this?

Thank you!

Hi Jordi,

How do you know the changes are not being read? Can you be more explicit about the changes you've made?

Hello Jorge,

I have added a new definition of 'site_map' portlet in liferay-portlet-ext.xml.
Because I want 'site_map' can be called in any community with a valid URL like 'my_account' portlet. Note that this definition is the same of 'my_account' portlet only changuing portlet-name, icon and struts-path.
I have added this changues:

<portlet>
		<portlet-name>85</portlet-name>
		<icon>/html/portlet/site_map/icon.png</icon>
		<struts-path>site_map</struts-path>
		<configuration-action-class>com.liferay.portlet.sitemap.action.ConfigurationActionImpl</configuration-action-class>
		<use-default-template>false</use-default-template>
		<restore-current-view>false</restore-current-view>
		<private-request-attributes>false</private-request-attributes>
		<private-session-attributes>false</private-session-attributes> 
		<render-weight>1</render-weight>
		<add-default-resource>true</add-default-resource>
		<system>true</system>
</portlet>

But, this only works if I delete the old portlet definition in liferay-portlet.xml.
Liferay-portlet-ext.xml only loads new portlets definitions and don't load rewrited definitions.
There are any possibility to make this without delete the old definition in liferay-portlet.xml?

Hi Jordi,

It should work as you expect. And it used to work that way. Can you debug the execution of PortletLocalServiceImpl._readLiferayPortletXML(..) to find out if there is a bug?

If you do find a bug, please add it to support.liferay.com and let me know through this thread.

Hi Jorge,

I need just a confirmation about extending native portlets definition:

- I'm on Liferay 6.0.5 GA CE
- Using an ext plugin, via Liferay IDE (1.2.x)
- I need to extend the DocumentLibrary application (id = 20) in order to inject a scheduled action.
- I'm using the new Message Listener method for my scheduled action
- I wrote a liferay-portlet-ext.xml, including only my scheduler entry for portlet class 20

liferay-portlet-app>
	<portlet>
		<portlet-name>20</portlet-name>
			
			<scheduler-entry>
			        <scheduler-description>description</scheduler-description>
				 <scheduler-event-listener-class>
				                       fr.asten.dllifecycle.schedule.CheckDLLifeCycleMessageListener
				 </scheduler-event-listener-class>
				 <trigger>
					  <cron>
						<cron-trigger-value>00 * * * * ?</cron-trigger-value>
					</cron>
				</trigger>
			</scheduler-entry>	
			
	</portlet>

- It works (the scheduled action goes on) and I'm happy

But, my ask is :
Is it the right way? Is it OK that the native portlet definition (inside liferay-portlet.xml) will be "extended" and not "overrided" by mine ?

Regards

Christophe
