Question

I have started learning with Liferay 6.1

What I wish to achieve is: Displaying of Navigation Menus on several pages.

What I did is:

• Added Navigation portlet on a page and configured it to display all the links of pages (and also marking the current page link as bold)

What I researched is:

• I have read on several forums, that changing the scopeable tag of Navigation Portlet to true in liferay-portlet.xml file.

But the problem I am facing is:

• I could not find where liferay’s Navigation portlet exist. Like I found its existence in liferay-portal-6.1.0-ce-ga1/tomcat-7.0.23/webapps/ROOT/html/portlet/navigation, but then it doesn’t contains any liferay-portlet.xml file in it.

Please help!

Ok, finally I have found some solutions, which makes a stable navigations menus to be displayed on the pages desired.

• First add a navigation menu to the page desired.

• Goto Dockbar-> Add -> Page. (Add your page’s menu name).

• Goto Dockbar-> Manage-> Page

• Here you find an option of “Add portlets from page” -> Click -> Select the page where you have your navigation menu’s placed.

• Select your page, and press “Copy” and then “Save”.

Finally you will see your new page loaded with all the portlets found on your existing portlets, and the relevant menu link is selected too.

That’s it.

Also you will see that all portlets are copied, so you can remove the one’s you don’t need. And also these lets you maintain the layout without modifying anything in your themes files.

Thanks!
