Jahia 6 community Edition : Adding a portlet in my page

Discussion:

Hello

I installed Jahia 6 community Edition but I can't figure out how to use
portlets.
I made a very simple "hello world" portlet and deployed it in Jahia 5 and 6.
In Administration mode, it appears fine in the available portlets list
with the right name and description in both versions.
In Jahia 5 I can display this portlet on my page, using a box of type
"portlet".

But in Jahia 6, ACME template, I can not call my portlet on any page.
There is no box of type "portlet".
I thought I had to use the mashups manager but my portlet is not in the
list of available mashups.

Could you give me a hint ?

Hello,

You can use the template "full" wich have a portlet container inside
or add jnt:portletsBox as box property in your definition.cnd file in
any box you want to add portlet

for example, if you want it in the main column of the home template you
will have :
containerList columnA_box (jnt:box [addMixin="jmix:skinnable",
availableTypes="jnt:IframeBox,jnt:portletsBox,web_templates:lastNewsBox,jnt:textsBox,web_templates:filesBox"])

regards,

David

Thanks

I tried with "full" template, portlet container, add portlet...
I get a popup dialog but my portlet is still not in the list of available
mashups.
I tried to browse, to search, to add a new mashup but I can't find it.
I can insert google mashups and rss but not my portlet.

I had a similar problem with Jahia 5 before.
The hint was to add <portlet-info><title>...</title></portlet-info> in
portlet.xml in order to make it available for my pages.

But in Jahia 6 it doesn't work this way. Do you think it's a problem like
this or am I misunderstanding the new ui ?

Hi Amine,

Did you succeed in creating a new mashup based on your portlet in the
Mashup Manager Tool ?

Regards,

Mesdocs.

Hello

@KT
No exception during the deployment. The deployment seems ok by the way.
My portlet is visible from the admin ui.
Thank you for the link. I'v already read that wiki article but it concerns
only deployment and not the insertion of an instance.

@Mesdocs
I didn't succeed in creating a new mashup based on a "hello world" portlet
with the mashup tool.
Did you?

Hi,

If you click on the "portlet" (application) title in the admin ui, do
you see the this list of portlets?

If not, that means that the portlet is not well deployed or didn't start.

If yes, is the user has read ACL on the portlet ?

Regards.
KT.

In this list stand my portlet + googlegadget + html + rss

About ACL, I gave rights to every roles for every permissions but it still
doesn't work.

When you click on the RSS portlet (title or edit icon), there is a new
popup that displays the portlets that belongs to this application, ie
JahiaRSSPortlet. (See screenshot in att.)

If you click on "myPortlet", is there a new popup? if yes is there a
list of portlet taht belongs to this application? If not try to redeploy
your portlet.

You should be able to create a mashup following these steps :

1/ In Edit mode , in the Tools drop-down list, you should find the
Mashup Manager Tool
2/ With the current selected repository (your site), click on the new
mashup button
3/ A new window appears with a list of available portlets. Select your
portlet and click next.
4/ Give your mashup a title and click next.
5/ On the roles-permissions screen click next.
6/ On the modes-permissions screen select the views you want.
7/ Enter a text in the last screen and click finish. You mashup
definition should appear in the mashup manager.

8/ Close the window.

9/ In a page based on the full template, in the portlet list, you
should now see your mashup in the list of available portlets under
your site folder. Select it and click ok.

Did you read the documentation at
http://www.jahia.org/cms/home/jahiapedia/Portlet_Integration ?

Maybe you didn't modify the web.xml file as described in the article.

That's the problem. My portlet is not available in this list.
KT pointed out the fact that I should have a list of portlets in the edit
popup menu.
I didn't notice that before but there is indeed a deployment problem since
this list is empty!
I'm trying to deploy again this portlet but it doesn't work any more.
I placed it in the usual WEB-INF/var/new_webapps folder but it doesn't hot
deploy. It doesn't deploy if I restart Jahia neither.
There's no trace of deployment attempts in my console. I just have lots of
lines with [Full GC...]
This very same war works fine with Jahia 5.

Hi,

With Jahia 6, to deploy a portlet, you have to put it in
${tomcat}\webapp when Jahia is running. 'new_webapp' is no longer used.

Thank you very much for your help. Changing the web.xml worked! :)
I misunderstood this online guide. I thought web.xml would be changed on the
fly like in other portals.

Don't you think it would be better if we had a deploy folder (different from
tomcat webapps). Then a listener could detect a war in it, change the
web.xml on the fly and move it into the tomcat webapps?

As the goal of JSR-168 was to allow users to deploy war in any compliant
portals I think it would be a good feature don't you think?

Thank you again for your quick support.
