Hi, guys Liferay is such a beautiful portal technology, it has one pretty nice feature about custom fields.
This post is how to use that custom field feature in registration field in liferay
Here are the steps to be followed
1. Click on control panel > User > Custom attributes >
Add Custom attributes.
2. Here we need to give a key (name) and type of the field.
3. For eg. We will have an Field called Designation added which
is a text field.
Key : Designation
Type : Text-field(Indexed) and save.
4. Then add the custom attribute taglib in the
create_account.jsp in /tomcat/webapps/ROOT/html/portlet/login as follows:
<liferay-ui:custom-attribute-list
className="com.liferay.portal.model.User"
classPK="<%= 0l %>"
editable="<%= true
%>"
label="<%= true %>"
/>
But this field
will not appear on the create account page because permissions are not given.
Hence to
permission click on action tab of that custom attribute(here eg.Designation)
and permissions
Note: very important
thing is assigning permission for added custom field to guest
1. Here for guest we give permission for view and
update.
2. Now in the
create account page this field will appear.
And you can get those value in expando table in liferay, you can fetch the value using expandoBridge class.
