Hi, Mohammed!

I found a workarround to solve my problem. Finally, I used the following code for assets full-view links:

&lt;#assign viewURL = assetPublisherHelper.getAssetViewURL(renderRequest, renderResponse, curEntry) /&gt;
&lt;#if assetLinkBehavior != "showFullContent"&gt;
      &lt;#assign viewURL = assetRenderer.getURLViewInContext(renderRequest, renderResponse, viewURL)?keep_before_last('/') + '?redirect=' + htmlUtil.escapeURL( themeDisplay.getURLCurrent() ) /&gt;
<!--#if-->
<h3 class="asset-title"><a href="${viewURL}">${entryTitle}</a></h3>

This is how I manage to remove the version number from the url and like that assets full view is rendered correctly.

Thank you for trying to help me!

Greetings,
Eli

In the Asset publisher ADT I use the standard code to link the assets:

<#assign assetRenderer = curEntry.getAssetRenderer() />
<#assign curEntryTitle = htmlUtil.escape(assetRenderer.getTitle(locale)) />
<#assign viewURL = assetPublisherHelper.getAssetViewURL(renderRequest, renderResponse, assetRenderer, curEntry, !stringUtil.equals(assetLinkBehavior, "showFullContent")) />

<h3 class="asset-title"><a href="${viewURL}">${entryTitle}</a></h3>

where stringUtil.equals(assetLinkBehavior, "showFullContent") == false

Then the full_view template code is a standard code that retrieves and show data from all the attributes of the journal article. And here, I should mention that the structure that I created for these assets is a little bit complex. By complex I mean that it has nested and repeatable attributes. I assume that the internal parser might have some difficulties with these attributes, but this is only an assumption.

No, I checked and this is the article version actually. It is a number like 1.2, 1.3...2.0 and increments each time I republish the article. By some strange reason this version in the URL causes me problems with the asset full preview. I get a syntax error in the template of type:
"Syntax error in template "companyId#companyGroupId#null" in line 4, column 67: Encountered ".", but was expecting:">""
which is actually some parser error. And more strange is that this error is gone once I remove the article version from the rendered url.

I think that is portlet instance id which you are referring as version number

Hi, Mohammed!

Yes, this is a version number added right after the asset friendly url. It looks like that: domainname.com/-/<asset_friendly_url>/<version_number>?redirect=%2F<render_page>

Hi, there!

I'm using the Asset publisher portlet to display a list of assets inside some pages of my projects as in Display configurations of the portlet I set the option to "View in Context" these assets. However, I noticed that there is some number (probably a version number or something else) displayed as a query parameter in the asset full view URL. In the older liferay versions this number was not set, but in liferay 7.2-ga1 yes. Is there any possibility to remove this number from the assets URL?

Thanks in advance,
Eli
