Adding the workflow portlets to a page

Hi all! 
In a recent project I had to add these portlets ("My Workflow Tasks" and "My Submissions") to a normal user page. By default they are shown in the control panel, but depending on your project needs you may want to use them elsewhere. Here are the steps you need to achieve this easily.
 
Basically you need three things:
 
  • Remove them from the control panel
  • Add them to the "Add Applications" menu
  • Add "ADD_TO_PAGE" permissions
 
To do this you need an ext plugin (which you can create in the liferay plugins sdk via <<create my-ext "my ext">> command)
 
Once you have your ext plugin ready in your plugins sdk, go to your-ext/docroot/WEB-INF/ext-web/docroot/WEB-INF
 
in your-ext/docroot/WEB-INF/ext-web/docroot/WEB-INF/liferay-portlet-ext.xml add this (this is the original content minus the control panel classes configuration)
 
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE liferay-portlet-app PUBLIC "-//Liferay//DTD Portlet Application 6.0.0//EN" "http://www.liferay.com/dtd/liferay-portlet-app_6_0_0.dtd">
 
<liferay-portlet-app>
<portlet>
<portlet-name>153</portlet-name>
<icon>/html/icons/my_workflow_tasks.png</icon>
<struts-path>my_workflow_tasks</struts-path>
<portlet-url-class>com.liferay.portal.struts.StrutsActionPortletURL</portlet-url-class>
<use-default-template>false</use-default-template>
<private-request-attributes>false</private-request-attributes>
<private-session-attributes>false</private-session-attributes>
<render-weight>50</render-weight>
<header-portlet-css>/html/portlet/asset_publisher/css/main.jsp</header-portlet-css>
<header-portlet-css>/html/portlet/enterprise_admin/css/main.jsp</header-portlet-css>
<header-portlet-css>/html/portlet/workflow_definitions/css/main.jsp</header-portlet-css>
<css-class-wrapper>portlet-workflow-tasks</css-class-wrapper>
</portlet>
<portlet>
<portlet-name>158</portlet-name>
<icon>/html/icons/my_workflow_instances.png</icon>
<struts-path>my_workflow_instances</struts-path>
<portlet-url-class>com.liferay.portal.struts.StrutsActionPortletURL</portlet-url-class>
<use-default-template>false</use-default-template>
<private-request-attributes>false</private-request-attributes>
<private-session-attributes>false</private-session-attributes>
<render-weight>50</render-weight>
<header-portlet-css>/html/portlet/asset_publisher/css/main.jsp</header-portlet-css>
<header-portlet-css>/html/portlet/enterprise_admin/css/main.jsp</header-portlet-css>
<header-portlet-css>/html/portlet/workflow_definitions/css/main.jsp</header-portlet-css>
<css-class-wrapper>portlet-workflow-instances</css-class-wrapper>
</portlet>
</liferay-portlet-app>
 
in your-ext/docroot/WEB-INF/ext-web/docroot/WEB-INF/liferay-display.xml remove
<portlet id="153" />
<portlet id="158" />
from hidden category and add them to another one (the one which you prefer!)
 
In your-ext/docroot/WEB-INF/ext-impl/src/resource-actions/workflow.xml, add this (which is the original workflow.xml after deleting ACCESS_IN_CONTROL_PANEL permission and adding ADD_TO_PAGE):
 
...
<portlet-name>153</portlet-name>
<permissions>
<supports>
<action-key>ADD_TO_PAGE</action-key>
<action-key>CONFIGURATION</action-key>
<action-key>VIEW</action-key>
</supports>
...
<portlet-name>158</portlet-name>
<permissions>
<supports>
<action-key>ADD_TO_PAGE</action-key>
<action-key>CONFIGURATION</action-key>
<action-key>VIEW</action-key>
</supports>
...
 
 
When you're done, run ant deploy and restart your application server. 
And that's it! I hope I helped you
Regards, 
Juan Fernández

Hey Juan, If i understand you correctly your approach relies on your ext-impl jar being loaded before the portal-impl jar. While this would work in tomcat (i believe it loads the jars in web-inf/lib in alphabetical order) judging by some posts on the forum, this isn't always the case on other application servers. As far as i know the servlet spec does not cover the loading order so your milage may vary

Hi Juan,

Thanks, I was stuck trying to figure how to close the loop with the ADD_TO_PAGE part. You have really helped me out here!

Can I ask, is there any specific reason why you need to remove the portlets from the control panel when you add them to a normal page?

Hi Brian:
glad I helped you emoticon
There's no need to remove the permissions: that was my requirement, but it is not mandatory

Hi Juan,

Thanks for confirming that for me.

I had tried using a hook plugin to override the settings, but couldn't find the equivalent of 'WEB-INF/ext-impl/src/resource-actions/workflow.xml' to override.

Is that why you made an EXT plugin ?

Hi,

I tried implementing the above steps for user admin portlet.But as soon as i do ant direct-deploy i get this error as" Duplicate struts path users_admin" and "NoSuchResourceActionException: 125#add_to_page"..This is my entry in portal.xml under resource-action:
<portlet-resource>
<portlet-name>125</portlet-name>
<permissions>
<supports>
<action-key>ADD_TO_PAGE</action-key>
<action-key>CONFIGURATION</action-key>
<action-key>EXPORT_USER</action-key>
<action-key>VIEW</action-key>
</supports>
<site-member-defaults>
<action-key>VIEW</action-key>
</site-member-defaults>
<guest-defaults>
<action-key>VIEW</action-key>
</guest-defaults>
<guest-unsupported>
<action-key>ACCESS_IN_CONTROL_PANEL</action-key>
<action-key>CONFIGURATION</action-key>
</guest-unsupported>
</permissions>
</portlet-resource>
--------------------------------------
and liferay-portlet-ext.xml goes as :

Hi Enrico,

By default liferay-display.xml and workflow.xml will not be available in ext project.
We need to create it manully and add the content.

Hey Juan,

Thanks for sharing this good post.
As you can see in business requirements mostly we need to show some oob control panel portlets on portal pages.
Is liferay is working on this feature to provide it without ext by some configurations either from portal properties or by any other way.
In one of my project just for this feature I need to create ext.
Please share your plans if any else consider my request for next release.
Please let me know if any specific way is there to suggest Liferay to add this feature.

Thanks again for nice post.

Hi Roshan!
Thanks for your comment. Yes, there is a way you can propose this as a feature request. Just go to http://liferay.com/community/ideas and add your idea there. It could be something like "Allow to easily add control panel portlets to a page". I think the community will vote for it.
Thanks for the feedback!

Hi there: you need to add the "ADD_TO_PAGE" permission. Please follow last step of the instructions in the blog entry.

Hi Juan,
this is exactly what I need, but it does not work for me...
In Liferay 6.2 the workflow.xml already contains the ADD_TO_PAGE permission.
All the other files I modified like you said, but it does not have any impact.
The portlets are still hidden from the category and are still in the my configuration section.. My ext-plugin works, because I replaced some core java.
Is the configuraion also stored in the database? How can I debug if the overwritten files are used by the portal?

There are some little changes for 6.1.x+ :

the liferay-portlet-ext.xml should look like this:

<liferay-portlet-app>
<portlet>
<portlet-name>153</portlet-name>
<icon>/html/icons/my_workflow_tasks.png</icon>
<struts-path>my_workflow_tasks</struts-path>
<portlet-url-class>com.liferay.portal.struts.StrutsActionPortletURL</portlet-url-class>
<preferences-owned-by-group>true</preferences-owned-by-group>
<use-default-template>false</use-default-template>
<private-request-attributes>false</private-request-attributes>
<private-session-attributes>false</private-session-attributes>
<render-weight>50</render-weight>
<header-portlet-css>/html/portlet/asset_publisher/css/main.css</header-portlet-css>
<header-portlet-css>/html/portlet/users_admin/css/main.css</header-portlet-css>
<header-portlet-css>/html/portlet/workflow_definitions/css/main.css</header-portlet-css>
<footer-portlet-javascript>/html/portlet/workflow_tasks/js/main.js</footer-portlet-javascript>
<css-class-wrapper>portlet-workflow-tasks</css-class-wrapper>
</portlet>
<portlet>
<portlet-name>158</portlet-name>
<icon>/html/icons/my_workflow_instances.png</icon>
<struts-path>my_workflow_instances</struts-path>
<portlet-url-class>com.liferay.portal.struts.StrutsActionPortletURL</portlet-url-class>
<preferences-owned-by-group>true</preferences-owned-by-group>
<use-default-template>false</use-default-template>
<private-request-attributes>false</private-request-attributes>
<private-session-attributes>false</private-session-attributes>
<render-weight>50</render-weight>
<header-portlet-css>/html/portlet/asset_publisher/css/main.css</header-portlet-css>
<header-portlet-css>/html/portlet/users_admin/css/main.css</header-portlet-css>
<header-portlet-css>/html/portlet/workflow_definitions/css/main.css</header-portlet-css>
<css-class-wrapper>portlet-workflow-instances</css-class-wrapper>
</portlet>
</liferay-portlet-app>

you will not find the workflow.xml in the ext-impl of your ext plugin so you have to copy it from the portal-trunk and remove the
<action-key>ACCESS_IN_CONTROL_PANEL</action-key> from the portlet resource definitions 153, 158

Nice post!

Hello,
In Liferay 6.2 there is ADD_PAGE already present in resource-actions/workflow.xml file. Does it mean that now I can implement it as a hook instead of ext? What abaout removing ACCESS_IN_CONTROL_PANEL from workflow.xml file? Is it really necessary? I need to add this portlet to my own page, I don't mind it staing control panel.

Thanks,
Michał Janusz
