We use one theme for our desktop web page and another for responsive/mobile version of the site. But for mobile we don't always want to show images and it would be good if we can restrict it from the template, not just hiding it with CSS (because it still loads the image, just does not show it).
For that I need to get liferay current active theme ID or name so I can add simple if statement in the template.
#if(${themename} == "desktopTheme")
<img src="foo.jpg"/>
#end
Does anyone has ideas how to get it? I searched and checked lots of liferay's forums, but didn't find anything.
Thanks!
My advice would be to not hardcode the theme's name, but use theme settings that are readily available. Just configure your theme to be "desktop" or "mobile" style and check for this property. This way you can cover many different themes without hardcoding particular ones.
Also, the various ThemeDisplay.getTheme*() methods will help you to get the required information almost anywhere you are.
Here's some untested pseudo code for your themes (I just typed it here, never compiled/deployed, you might want to add null-checks for the VM stuff)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE look-and-feel PUBLIC "-//Liferay//DTD Look and Feel 6.0.0//EN" "http://www.liferay.com/dtd/liferay-look-and-feel_6_0_0.dtd">
<look-and-feel>
<compatibility>
<version>6.1.0+</version>
</compatibility>
<theme id="my-desktop-1" name="My First Desktop Theme">
<settings>
<setting key="mobile" value="false" />
</settings>
</theme>
</look-and-feel>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE look-and-feel PUBLIC "-//Liferay//DTD Look and Feel 6.0.0//EN" "http://www.liferay.com/dtd/liferay-look-and-feel_6_0_0.dtd">
<look-and-feel>
<compatibility>
<version>6.1.0+</version>
</compatibility>
<theme id="my-mobile-1" name="My First Mobile Theme">
<settings>
<setting key="mobile" value="true" />
</settings>
</theme>
</look-and-feel>
And then, in VM or JSPs or other code:
#if( ! $themeDisplay.getSetting("mobile"))
## more resources, desktop only, here.
#end
#if( $themeDisplay.getSetting("mobile")
## mobile only stuff here.
#end
And finally you might also want to consider to use the Device Detection API to determine the current device's actual capabilities on a far finer granularity
Suggest you to use themeId whis is also unique. its something the following:
xxx_WAR_xxxtheme
#if($themeDisplay.getThemeId().equalsIgnoreCase("<dektop theme id>"))
### your logic here
#end

Basically what I'm trying to do is to be able to add my own "search engine" (based on PHP and Mod_rewrite) to any browser automatically.
Somewhere on the Internet I found that I need to declare a search provider. How can I do this? <link>, manifest or some JavaScript?
A couple of steps. First, create an XML file with the information for the search provider. This is an example for Wikipedia: (Named: Wikipedia.xml)
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<OpenSearchDescription xmlns="http://a9.com/-/spec/opensearch/1.1/">
<ShortName>Wikipedia</ShortName>
<Description>Wikipedia Search</Description>
<InputEncoding>UTF-8</InputEncoding>
<Url type="text/html" template="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title={searchTerms}" />
</OpenSearchDescription>
Then you need to call the Windows method to add it. I do it with a button element like so but you could call the method how ever you prefer.
<input type="button" value="Add Wikipedia Search Provider" onClick='window.external.AddSearchProvider("Wikipedia.xml");'>
I added new configuration settings to my Liferay theme inside the file liferay-look-and-feel.xml
<setting configurable="true" key="show-navigation" type="checkbox" value="true" />
In the control panel I can see the setting with show-navigation label.
I want to translate it to Show the Main Navigation using Language.properties inside the theme.
Then to accomplish this in my theme I added this files (theme\docroot\WEB-INF\src\content):
Language.properties
Language_en.properties
Language_fr.properties
Which each file contains the translation as so:
show-navigation=Show the Main Navigation
then in theme\docroot\WEB-INF\ I added liferay-hook.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE hook PUBLIC "-//Liferay//DTD Hook 6.2.0//EN" "http://www.liferay.com/dtd/liferay-hook_6_2_0.dtd">
<hook>
<portal-properties>portal.properties</portal-properties>
<language-properties>content/Language*.properties</language-properties>
</hook>
But it doesn't work. If I perform the same procedure for a portlet it works.
Why?
It's the name: You don't use content/Language*.properties, but just content/Language.properties. Otherwise I believe you're on the correct way to solve the problem, it's just this little detail
I'm trying to add a sidebar gadget to Gmail using the guidance given in https://developers.google.com/gmail/sidebar_gadgets. To get started, I've taken a copy of the Hello World file, changed the text a bit and placed it in http://bachtrack.com/mygooglegadget.xml. I've added it to the list of gadgets in my Gmail settings, as specified - it's visible on the settings page.
Trouble is, nothing else happens at all. There's no visible gadget anywhere in my sidebar as a result of this, in any of a variety of screens.
What am I doing wrong? Here's the code - I really don't think I changed anything other than the text, and it appears to parse OK...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<Module>
<ModulePrefs title="Google gadget example from Bachtrack" />
<Content type="html">
<![CDATA[
Hello from my Bachtrack Gmail gadget!
]]>
</Content>
</Module>
By the way, I think this is the same as the unanswered https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21378334/gmail-gadget-doesnt-appear-sidebar but I'm posting it separately to include the tag google-bigquery.
In Sharepoint 2007, I have created a layout. As you know when the user creates a page he chooses a layout from a listbox.
When you select a different element in the listbox, there is a preview image that changes on the left.
I thought this was controlled by the node PublishingPreviewImage in the xml of the layout. I have verified that the image exists in that place.
It is not working.
The code I use is:
<File Path="TituloTextoCtrl.aspx" Url="TituloTextoCtrl.aspx" Type="GhostableInLibrary" IgnoreIfAlreadyExists ="TRUE">
<Property Name="PublishingPreviewImage" Value="~SiteCollection/_catalogs/masterpage/$Resources:core,Culture;/Preview Images/titulotextoctrl.png, ~SiteCollection/_catalogs/masterpage/$Resources:core,Culture;/Preview Images/titulotextoctrl.png" />
<Property Name="MasterPageDescription" Value="Plantilla Titulo+Texto+Control" />
<Property Name="ContentType" Value="Titulo+Texto+Control" />
<Property Name="PublishingAssociatedContentType" Value=";#Vialibre_ContentTypeGeneral;#0x010100C568DB52D9D0A14D9B2FDCC96666E9F2007948130EC3DB064584E219954237AF39005215cca003b74e479baa123eb1dc5702;#" />
</File>
You also need XML to provision the image:
<Module Name="MyPreviewImages" Url="_catalogs/masterpage" IncludeFolders="??-??" Path="" RootWebOnly="TRUE">
<File Url="titulotextoctrl.png" Name="Preview Images/titulotextoctrl.png" Type="GhostableInLibrary">
</File>
</Module>
first of all upload yor layout page image in site collection document library or picture libary. Then Go to site actions--> site settings-->Galleries-->master pages and pagelayouts-->. In pagelayouts you can see your new layoutpage.
choose edit properties of your layoutpage there you can see the properties of that layout page. There is one column called preview image, give the url of image there that you already uploaed in the docu libary. click on Ok, now you have got preview image of your layout page.
Thx to Rich Bennema and Hojo for answering, there are right, but at the same time, my problem is that this layouts were deployed, and when I deploy again changing the PublishingPreviewImage, the layout is not updating. So my problem was a problem of controlling events so that everytime that I deploy the layouts are recreated in case there is changes.
This I know because it has worked for new layouts.
So for those who try this. Use the code I have provided with the one of Rich Bennema to upload the image.
I have this feature

The feature installs and activates, without producing an error, but the siteColumn is nowhere to be found, any ideas why this site column is not visible?
I checked the logs, no errors reported either.
Hmmm... it looks like you have done everything correctly. Did you copy and paste the ID for the Field from anywhere? If so, the ID may already be in use causing your Field provision to be ignored.
I find the best way to create a Feature defining Site Columns and Content Types is to prototype everything using the Web interface and then copy and paste the generated CAML into your Visual Studio projects. I recorded a short video demonstrating the process that you may find valuable.

What does Format="TRUE" mean?
Doesn't look like it's according to documentation.
Field Element Documentation doesn't tell you much about those properties, however there is much in common with FieldRef element and it has documentation about Format attribute.
Maybe you wanted to use DefaultValue attribute?
