Creating User Page, Applying theme and Adding portlet to them

Creating User Page, Applying theme and Adding portlet to them

The following post tells you how to create a user page(layout), add portlets to them and apply some theme.

First of all you have to add the following properties in portal-ext.properties file, (I'm just filling example data, you can fill as per your requirements:)

layout.id=2_columns_i user.theme=sevencogs portlet.id=20

Now call the following function as per the implementation logic. Code is kinda self explanatory,a nd I've already put comments between them:



 public static void createUserLayout(User user){

 try{

  ServiceContext serviceContext = new ServiceContext();

  Log.info("Creating User Homepage for "+user.getName()+" with name " + user.getName() + "-home");

  // Layout assignment for user pages. Values will be provided by Properties.

  String name = user.getName() + "-home";

  Layout layout = LayoutLocalServiceUtil.addLayout(user.getUserId(), user.getGroup().getGroupId(), true, 0, name, name,"", LayoutConstants.TYPE_PORTLET, false, StringPool.BLANK, serviceContext);

  // Adding portlets

  String typeSettings = "layout-template-id=" + PropsUtil.get("homepage.layout.id") + "\n";

  String portletIds = PropsUtil.get("portlet.id");

  typeSettings += "column-1=" + portletIds + "\n";

  layout.setTypeSettings(typeSettings);

  // Applying theme

  String themeId = PropsUtil.get("user.theme");

  if(themeId != null && !themeId.equals("")){

   layout.setThemeId(themeId);

   layout.setColorSchemeId("01");

  }

  LayoutLocalServiceUtil.updateLayout(layout);

 }catch(Exception e){

  e.printStackTrace();

 }

 }
