Question

i want to add a custom Add Application Link to my Liferay Theme.

This is what i have in the template (portlet_normal.vm):

            #if($show_add_content)
              <a href="javascript:$add_content_url" id="addApplications">$add_content_text</a>
              <a href="javascript:$layout_url" id="layoutTemplates">$layout_text</a>
            #end  

and this is what I got on the page:

<a href="javascript:Liferay.LayoutConfiguration.toggle('87');" id="addApplications">Add   Application</a> 
<a href="javascript:Liferay.LayoutConfiguration.showTemplates();" id="layoutTemplates">Layout Template</a>

The Layoutbutton is working as expected, but the Add Applications portlet is’nt loaded.

I think about missing libs/includes? Has anyone an idea?

Answer 1

• What version are you using? (always helps when trying to reproduce)
• Is “portlet_normal.vm” a typo in the question or is this the file that you created? It needs to be portal_normal.vm
• What else did you change in your installation? Other changes to the vm file? properties file changes with relation to javascript files?
• Have you tried a different browser?
• Is the id (given in the ‘a’ element) unique?
