I would like to change language of web content in liferay. So I tried to change language programatically from en_EN to sk_SK (Slovak) this way:
$themeDisplay.getLanguageId() // there it is en_EN
$themeDisplay.setLanguageId('sk_SK')
$themeDisplay.getLanguageId() // there it is sk_SK
same it is with this code
#set ($locale=$localeUtil.fromLanguageId("sk_SK"))
$themeDisplay.setLocale($locale)
$themeDisplay.getLocale()
But the web content didn't change. Do you know why?
If this is not clear I will try to give you an example: On the top of web-page are usually some language buttons, so you can switch between more languages. I want to do same in liferay. So I have one WebContent with more translations and with this buttons I want to change language/translation of webContent.

If i'm not wrong Liferay already provide such functionality out-of-the-box. You don't need to do it with pragmatically.
Use Liferay's navigation portlet to switch the languages.
Thank you, but I would like to add it into my code, into *.vm file. So this is my solution (finally I found it)
<div id="language-portlet">
#set ($VOID = $velocityPortletPreferences.setValue('portlet-setup-show-borders', 'true'))
#set ($VOID = $theme.runtime("82", '', $velocityPortletPreferences.toString()))
#set ($VOID = $velocityPortletPreferences.reset())
</div>
It show possible translations on your web-page. (For me it is flags)
The best solution is to override this property
locale.default.request=false
company.default.locale=sk_SK
is portal-ext.proprties file

I am new to Liferay, and I still don't know the difference between the various 'kind' of Liferays.
This Liferay is what I am talking about.
I understand that you have to create a page first, and then add components (fragments) in it.
I also understand that you can go to fragments, and create a custom fragment with a custom CSS, and then import it into your page.
However, what I want to do is have a global CSS that I can use for all fragments inside a page, rather than having to add CSS for each fragment.
Is that possible, and if so, how?
I know I can use the 'style-books' which apply to an entire page, however, I don't know how to customize them, and it doesn't seem that that's even possible.
To avoid coding, you can use the css additional textbox provide by theme settings.
It's a whole page css addon for every pages in the site
I am new to liferay and using liferay-ce-portal-7.0-ga3 i have placed a blog and able to write contents in it. i want to change the blog portlet design by adding thumbnail preview to it . My current view is it has either title,abstract and full content view. How could i customize to get blog view
You can customize Liferay's appearance through Application Display Templates (ADT). Unfortunately there's no sample for the OOTB appearances, but when you go to your site's (or the global site's) Configuration area, you can find/edit/create ADTs there. Depending on the markup and CSS, as well as your typical image size etc., the actual ADT you write would be different, thus impossible to include anything here.
The editor however, has some autocomplete and some predefined entries/fields, that should give you a starting point. E.g. when you just open a blank editor and hit the "Blog Entries" field, you'll end up with
<#-- Application display templates can be used to modify
the look of a specific application. Please use the
left panel to quickly add commonly used variables.
Autocomplete is also available and can be invoked
by typing "${". -->
<#if entries?has_content>
<#list entries as curBlogEntry>
${curBlogEntry.title}
</#list>
</#if>
You'll find what you can do with BlogsEntry in it's javadoc, make sure to follow the BlogsEntryModel superclass link as well to see more.
I'll have to leave the exercise to generate proper markup and styling to you though.
I am trying to customize the Liferay UI by using custom theme using base as as "_Styled" theme.
I have my own css files which I coped to _diff/css folder of theme and imported them "custom.css" file .However its breaking the presentation of liferay.In my custom CSS I have styles defined for all the standard tags like body,div etc which is impacting the liferay UI too.
How can I resolve this conflict? Thanks in advance!
Quick (and not the best) solution is to remove contents of liferays css file (for example "base.css") and save this empty file in /diff/css/ folder of your theme. This way the base.css will get overriden with your new empty file and thus no styles will get loaded. And your custom.css will be the only stylesheet that is taken into account.
Well, of course it all has an effect on the rest of Liferay as well. Liferay provides quite a bit of the HTML DOM of your page, and if you change the presentation of all of those elements, you'll have to take care to style Liferay's elements too.
Is this a conflict? No. Let's go for the simplest case: You declare div {color:green;}. Of course, now everything, your components as well as Liferay's components, use green text. If you only want to style your own portlets, you might want to specify some portlets: div.portlet-my-own-application {color:green;}
I know that color is a too simple usecase, but I hope it illustrates the solution strategy.
Rather than following Artem Khojoyan's suggestion to override Liferay's base.css, I'd recommend to take a look at the resulting css, what's effective etc., and simplify your own css - adapt it to be used within Liferay - by inspecting the effective CSS for every elements that looks off. Firebug or any of it's relatives are your friend.
I'm afraid, with the details "I'm doing something which has an effect on Liferay UI" there's nothing much more to help you. In fact, I'd hope that what you do has an effect on Liferay's UI... You'll just need to find the proper CSS code
Ideally if your styles are loaded from custom.css, then will overwrite liferay default styles.
In some cases, to overwrite a style in css, you can use !important
for example, liferay default style
body {
background-color: #fff
}
You can specify your style to consider irrespective of order of loading
body {
background-color: red !important;
}
The default pagination in drupal is great, but the text links are used
<<first <previous 6 7 next> last>>
But I need to use forward and backward image buttons instead of text links. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
Depending on what portions of the pager you're interested in replacing with images, you may be able to use CSS background images, without having to override the theme function. However, in the default pager output, not all the links may have unique classes.
That said, if you're using Drupal's default pager, you can override the theme_pager function to add your image links.
If you're using the Views module, you may be using a different theming function. When in doubt, you should be able to use the Theme Developer module to find which function or template file is outputting the part of the page you're interested in theming. Theme Developer will also tell you what suggestions you can use to override the output.
Currently I'm having trouble adding custom/my own css files to my SharePoint site. I add the custom/my own css files via the c# files (CssLink) as a web part and have them applied to my site's javascript files. Trouble is, whenever the css files were applied, my site goes back to the default blue-ish SharePoint theme color.
Is there any quick and simple way to avoid that from happening?
Thanks.
You can use this method to register a css file from a WebPart
Microsoft.SharePoint.WebControls.CssRegistration.Register("/.../mystyles.css")
or you can add the css file to the content place holder with the id "PlaceHolderAdditionalPageHead" which is present in the master page like this
var placeholder= Page.FindControl("PlaceHolderAdditionalPageHead");
var cssLink = new Literal();
cssLink.Text = "text";
placeholder.Controls.Add(cssLink);
Why don't you use, Site Settings, Master page and use the option "Specify a CSS file to be used by this publishing site and all sites that inherit from it." to specify your own CSS.
(Also, I have no idea what you mean with "via the c# files (CssLink) as a web part and have them applied to my site's javascript files". Are you missing some words in that sentence?)
You should have a very good reason to be adding CSSLink via C#. Have you considered packaging your CSS as your own theme?
SharePoint themes are easy to create and have many benefits such as:
a) Supported by Microsoft
b) Easy to create
c) Manageable by the end users.
d) You can apply different themes to different parts of the site.
e) etc etc...
The process of creating the theme can be found here:

I would recommend adding your theme via a feature only for adding and removing the theme. This would add a great deal of options for future tweaking.
Here is an example:

I'm going to blog about this later this week so keep an eye out of you like. http://blog.zebsadiq.com
Upload your css in the syle library folder(or any library in side your site)
go to -->site actions-->site settings-->modify all site settings-->under look and feel tab-->click master page-->there is one option called alternate css url-->browse your custom css and click Ok.
