How to add a custom portlet on control panel in user profile page?


I need to add a custom portlet in Liferay 6.1.1 CE in Control Panel. I tried this but it does't work:

<portlet>
   <portlet-name>testPortlet</portlet-name>
    <icon>/images/default.png</icon>
    <control-panel-entry-category>content</control-panel-entry-category>
    <layout-cacheable>true</layout-cacheable>
    <add-default-resource>true</add-default-resource>
</portlet>

My portlet's name is "testPortlet", can anyone help me? I read a lot on many forums but i got nothing to help me.


Solution

  • In your portlet's liferay-portlet.xml

    <portlet>
        <portlet-name>MyCustomPortlet</portlet-name>
        <icon>/mycustom.png</icon>
        <control-panel-entry-category>portal</control-panel-entry-category>
        <control-panel-entry-weight>100</control-panel-entry-weight>
        <instanceable>false</instanceable>
        <header-portlet-css>/css/main.css</header-portlet-css>
        <footer-portlet-javascript>/js/main.js</footer-portlet-javascript>
        <css-class-wrapper>customportlet-portlet</css-class-wrapper>
    </portlet>
