Freemarker Variable not working in Layouts? (7.3)

New Member Posts: 3 Join Date: 3/16/21 Recent Posts

Hola,

In my 7.2 Liferay CE Portal I used ${user_last_name} in my Freemarker-Layouts (the Layouts you can assign to a page) - for example I got a welcome-Layout where the user is greeted by his full name.

Now with the newest version of Liferay CE Portal I am not able to do this?

Why? How can I achieve this now?

Hi ,

You can get the User Object or Theme Display Object from request and then fetch the user full name.

Ex:

${request.getAttribute("USER").getFullName()}

or

${request.getAttribute("LIFERAY_SHARED_THEME_DISPLAY").getUser().getFullName()}
