问题
I have setted up a liferay environament with eclipse and tomcat (first time I use any of them),
And I want to make some changes, for example, I add a <p> in the end of the navigation.vm:
But when I build the war, like this:
My change dissapears:
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
回答1:
probably you're trying to edit the portal-normal.vm under
yourTheme/docroot/templates
but you can't.
You have to create a new folder called _diffs under
yourTheme/docroot
in which you copy the folders structure of docroot, in this case you need only of template folder in which create a new file called portal-normal.vm.
And that will be the file you can edit!
for more details : https://www.liferay.com/it/documentation/liferay-portal/6.1/development/-/ai/creating-liferay-them-7
PS
Obviously you can copy the original content of portal-normal.vm
PPS
I really don't know why liferay does not create the _diffs folder as default of a theme project!
EDIT
I forgot to say that you have to copy the folder structure of docroot in _diffs
回答2:
In other words... if you don't want to see the content removed of the files *.vm (for example portal_normal.vm) you must first create a folder templates in the folder docroot/_diffs with the files *.vm.
When we generate the WAR file, will automatically take the changes and you will see them in the folder docroot/templates/*.vm and also in the WAR file.
