I am using an Asset Publisher in Liferay DXP and grouping the displayed assets by a category vocabulary. I would like the categories to be displayed in a particular order but it seems to be alphabetic and the configuration doesn't provide any controls for this. I have a custom Asset Display Template but it controls the display of the assets within each category group, but the not the groups themselves. Can this be done?
Thanks!
The asset publisher offers an order and grouping configuration. Is it not working for you?

I want to select a category in a web content in Liferay 7.4.2, but I cannot select it. I installed:
Liferay 7.4.2-g3 CE Bundle
JDK 8u221
MySQL 8.0
In the "Category" option, I create a vocabulary and a category.
1. Vocabulary
2. Category
In the web content option, a structure is created with the "title", "content" and "image" fields.
In creating web content, the structure is selected. In the "Categorization" option, the field to select the category is not displayed.
The problem is that I cannot select the category in the web content. I do not know what I'm doing wrong.
Regards!
When creating a vocabulary, you have to specify to which asset type it is related to.
You can edit Noticia vocabulary and associate it to the structure of your web content or you can associate it to "All Asset Types".
I have same problem and created many categories and set All Asset Types but still not showing in the right sidebar. There must be a bug. I repeated the same steps in different installation and it worked.
I am looking into using Orchard CMS for an upcoming project and have hit a block. The site need to display articles of various types alongside a list of recent articles of the same type.
To that end I have:
Created a custom ContentType called Article which includes a TaxonomyField for ArticleType.
Created a custom theme with zones to reproduce the layout the customer requires. (Including RecentArticles.)
Created a custom widget layer to show/hide the RecentArticles zone based on the current ContentType. (I.e. the RecentArticles zone is only populated when we are displaying an Article.)
Created a Projection to show recent content of type Article.
I see that I can use the ArticleType taxonomy field to filter the source of the underlying query of part 4. However I need that filtering to be dynamic based on the ArticleType of the currently displaying content.
Is this possible? Is there an alternative way to reach the same result?
Thanks in advance.
Is there any module in Orchard CMS that I can install to get a checkbox list? I checked in the gallery but could not find one. If there is none, is there is a workaround this?
I want to associate a product item with multiple categories (fixed set of categories).
Thanks!
EDIT :
I checked the Taxonomy module as per the suggestion. Now, I want to access the terms in the view. I have seen some posts where they can access it using
(IEnumerable<Contrib.Taxonomies.Models.TermPart>)Model.Terms
Using shape tracing, I am trying to figure out how to access the terms. My model doesn't have any terms field! I can access my custom type (Project) which has 'ProjectCategory' as Taxonomy Field. But there is no mean to view/select terms from there.
See attached screenshots.
Any idea?
I don't think there is a module specifically for checkbox lists, but it sounds like the Taxonomies module might be what you're looking for. You can add a Taxonomy field to your product content type, and define a Taxonomy for that field that contains all your categories.
Once you do that the editor page for your products will have a checkbox list (or radio select if you allow only one in the taxonomy field's settings) for the "Categories" taxonomy.
I managed to access the terms the following way :
IEnumerable<TermPart> assignedTerms = _taxonomyService.GetTermsForContentItem(contentItemId, "NameOfTaxonomy");
How would I include contents from one channel into another channel?
For instance, If I have a channel of projects. And then I'd like to add items within that project.
Project
- Item
- url
- caption
- Item
- url
- caption
There is an new free alternative to Matrix: Grid Lite
Matrix is maybe over the top for your needs, even if it is one of my favorite EE addon.
I can think of three approaches here:
Use a Matrix field within your Project channel to add multiple items to each project.
Make a "Project Items" channel, and in that channel add a relationship field (or Playa field) that points to your Projects channel. This would link each item with its parent Project. When displaying your Project on the front-end, you'd use reverse-related entries to display that Project's items.
Make each Project a category, and then assign each entry in your Project Items channel to the proper Project category. (The downside here is that categories can only have very limited data associated with them - name, description, and image.) On the front-end you'd use the Channel Categories tag to display your Projects (categories), then then list that Projects items below using the Channel Entries tag and the category parameter.
Each of these approaches would work!
It sounds like you already have these two channels set up, so Matrix or Grid Lite, while great solutions, would require a lot of migrating work on your part.
Do you have a custom field that relates the two channels right now? i.e. in the Items channel, is there a custom field that allows you to choose (or write) which project the item belongs to? If that's the case, I can work toward a solution from there.
Our company is split into divisions. These divisions work for client companies and are then further split into account teams that work on projects for a product of the clients.
So the structure goes Division > Clients > Accounts > Projects. And this is mirrored in the setup of our sharepoint installation. At each stage from Division to Account there is a subsite. Access to each subsite is controlled by AD groups and on each subsite there is a 'latest news' announcements list
What we want to do is have a 'wall' of announcements that feeds through so that each user can see on the top-level site all the posts in all of these anouncement lists, but this must be filtered using the AD groups that they are a member of so that confidential information isn't shown to someone who shouldn't see it.
Can anybody think of a way to do this?
Let's see - are those lists split accross site collection? With what tool you want to accomplish this?
You have several options (if you are within a site collection):
Use Content Query Web Part to
aggregate list items. You can
customize it to display fields
you like the way you like.
You can use SharePoint Designer.
Using Object Model/WebServices: Use
SPSiteDataQuery class to query
multiple lists at once and then
SPGridView to display data.
As you have a MOSS build, you could
even use CrossListQueryCache.
It's also a cross list query that
has builtin caching and audience
targeting. Be sure to read this to be sure caching is working.
If you want to aggregate between multiple site collections, then you will need to write code that get's all your SPSite objects and execute SPSiteDataQuery on them.
Maybe you can find out some additional information on Rollup of all Tasks of a Recurring Meeting in SharePoint
Here is how we are doing it.
Set up a content type for each level of announcement. We have national, state, district and the basic site level announcements. Therefore I have 1 national content type, 10 state content types (because we are in 10 states) and 1 content type for each district. All of these content types inherit from the base Announcement type with no modification.
I added a content query web part. I exported it. I edited the XML in the .webpart file to point to a new custom ItemStyle_Announcements.xsl file I had created. I import the modified .webpart and delete the default Content Query Webpart.
I modify the ItemStyle_Announcements.xsl to create the structure and divs I need for the styling. I add styles to the default style sheet I have already created for my site to get the look and feel I want. (I happend to have two styles for these, one featured/most recent item which is big and full, then a listing the next 10)
I find an announcement list that will possibly post to the national new. I add the content types as needed. Now the end user can choose what scope of announcement they want from the New menu.
This remaining issue is that right now, the States and Districts must have TWO announcement webparts on their home pages. One that lists everything local to that site (regardless of scope) and one that has unit announcements aggregated from the other sites in the same state / district.
