Extend Password Update Page

New Member Posts: 15 Join Date: 2/15/19 Recent Posts
Hello,

we would like to display the current password strength on the update password page.
Is there a way to extend the JSP file here without having to rebuild it completely.

Best regards

I am not sure, which page you exactly want to change, but you probably need to create a module fragment to do what you want to achieve.
Assuming 7.0:
https://dev.liferay.com/de/develop/reference/-/knowledge_base/7-0/module-jsp-override

The tricky part is to find the correct module and jsp to override.

In 6.2 you would create a hook to achieve essentially the same.

Thanks for the hint, very interesting. Unfortunately I could not find the page http://.../c/portal/update_password there. Does it mean this is a core page, which makes things a little harder. Is there a similar possibility to integrate the original page and then expand it? I would not like to "copy" the page.

​​​​​​​I'm using CE 7.1.2-GA3

Ha. You are right, update_password is not there.

It's here:
/html/portal/update_password.jsp

You need to do this:

Thanks a lot!

That means but I can only overwrite the update_password.jsp completely, because there is no -ext.jsp file to it. what a trouble.
A kind <liferay-util: include page = "/html/portal/update_password.original.jsp" /> or does not exist either?

Well, the old jsp stays there, with renamed to update_password.portal.jsp

So, you can do two things
1) Put the jsp content in a string and do something with the string.


	CharArrayWriterResponse customResponse  = new CharArrayWriterResponse(response);
	request.getRequestDispatcher("/html/portal/update_password.portal.jsp").forward(request, customResponse);
	content = customResponse.getOutput();
// Do something with the content
	out.write(content);


If you just want to append something, you can simply include it and add your own code before/after it.

// Your code here
	  &lt;%@ include file="/html/portal/update_password.portal.jsp" %&gt;
// Your code here


When I really have to replace it, I usually commit the original too as an extra file and when Liferay updates it, I diff it to know, what was changed. And then I replace the original with the "new original".
