An updated method of using the web content portlet for advanced actions

After viewing Bruno's blog, I decided to show it at ECS during two of my presentations. There are some changes though in trunk, and I wanted to make sure to reflect those changes to you all.

Everything is the same except his FAQ-PORTLET.vm file which I have attached here: VM File

Thanks to everybody who attended my talks!

Hi Brett Swaim and All,
I have read "Building featured content articles" from Liferay Portal 5.2 Systems Development on page number 283
This article specify featured content (like sliding images, contents)within a web content portlet.
It specify to create a new structure and template so I want to Know
1) where do I get complete working example.
2) Can anyone specify detail Guide line for this article.(steps)
3) Also i need to how velocity template is going to interact when their are two portlets.
For example
1) One contains "read more" links

2) and another contents detailed contained while clicking on read more link within the same page but in different layout section.

Please Help ASAP.

Regards
--Mr. Bhatia

Hey DarshanKumar,

Do you have a question about this blog post specifically? Since your question doesn't really relate to the material at hand I would suggest you try our community forums with custom code questions.

Clicking the VM File link results in a:
"""

Error - this is regardless of whether I am logged in or not...

Hi Brett,
I tried to implement as per described in blog but I am getting below error. I am using liferay 6.0.5. I have changed lucene.analyzer to WhitespaceAnalyzer since standardAnalyzer was not allowing underscore.
Invocation of method 'search' in class com.liferay.portal.search.IndexSearcherImpl threw exception com.liferay.portal.kernel.search.SearchException: com.liferay.portal.kernel.messaging.MessageBusException: No reply received for message: {destinationName=liferay/search_reader, responseDestinationName=liferay/search_reader/response, responseId=454c5440-436d-4a8d-b574-c738ff55211c, payload={companyId=10132, document=null, documents=null, end=-1, id=null, ids=null, query=+(content:ee_faq), searchEngineCommand=SEARCH, sorts=null, start=-1}, values=null}

Hmmm, I'm not sure about that right now. This was built for 6.0.0, so maybe something changed between versions.
