I want to create a link in a portlet so that I can navigate to a different page in the liferay portal. I order to do that I am looking for an API (can be liferay specific) that given a page name, would return it's url (it can be the friendlyURL as well). The API to access pages in Liferay is the LayoutService. However, page names are not unique in Liferay and furthermore they are internationalized. So you need some unique property for a page to retrieve its url, besides its name. If you really only have the page name, you can use LayoutLocalServiceUtil.getLayouts(...) to loop over all Layouts

How can I get the current user connected to a Liferay portal with a simple Java code? I'm using Liferay 6.0.6 Simply: User currentUser = PortalUtil.getUser(request); Ravi Kumar Gupta In your doView/processAction method do following User user = (User) request.getAttribute(WebKeys.USER); or use the ThemeDisplay object. It contains another information like companyId, groupId, ... ThemeDisplay td =(ThemeDisplay)request.getAttribute(WebKeys.THEME_DISPLAY); User user = td.getUser(); Classes ThemeDisplay, User and WebKeys are part of portal-service.jar. If you need just some id to identify current

I created a portlet that uses AJAX every function. That is, the portlet is only rendered once and i didnt utilize processAction or the like. Is there a way to extend the user's session using built in Liferay function using javascript? I tried Liferay.Session.extend(); but it does not seem to work.. I also tried a solution in the ICEfaces forum, which is if (Liferay.Session._stateCheck) { window.clearTimeout(Liferay.Session._stateCheck); Liferay.Session._stateCheck = null; } Liferay.Session.init({ autoExtend: false, timeout: Liferay.Session._timeout, timeoutWarning: Liferay.Session._warning })

I am using Liferay 6 for portal Development . During Creating Users under Liferay , i need to add some extra Fields also ?? Please let me know if this is ppossible or not ??

My Problems: I can test successfully for CRUD services operation. I was doing an insert on @Before [setUp()] and delete of same data on @After [tearDown()] but going forward I would need to support Transactions rather than writing code for insert and delete. I am successful in fetching single records of my entity but when I fire a search query or try to fetch more than one of my entities I get: com.liferay.portal.kernel.bean.BeanLocatorException: BeanLocator has not been set for servlet context MyCustom-portlet I have followed some of the following links to set-up Junit with Liferay: Liferay

I want to run some code as soon as my plugin ( portlet , hook or theme ) is available in Liferay. I can't find anything like a startup listener in liferay-plugin-package.xml , liferay-portlet.xml , liferay-hook.xml or liferay-look-and-feel.xml . There is another way. You could utilize the StartupAction. It is merely an Event, which get's triggered on every startup of a plugin. This method will only get triggered once on a server start or deploy. Recognize, that the doRun method get's a String array of companyIds as an argument. A companyId is representing a portal instance (the Liferay
