Liferay portlet for creating web content

Question

I use Liferay to manage web content. I would like my end users to create web content but I don't want them to go to back office to manage it.

So I would like a portlet that I can setup in public pages and which allows the end users to create web content directly in public pages.

Is there a simple way to do it using Liferay 6.1 or code is needed ?

Answer 1

Have you tried OOTB Web Content Display portlet? You can add Web Content Display portlet on any page and content can be created in that portlet itself which on publishing(if no workflow involved) will be visible on the page.

Answer 2

If Sandeep's answer is not what you're after (but I suspect it is) then you can write a custom portlet that uses Liferay's JournalArticleLocalServiceUtil methods to interact with Liferay Web Content. However I'd go with Sandeep's suggestion first as it doesn't involve coding! :)

Answer 3

If you want to develope another webcontent portlet as avaiable in control panel. You have to go for custom portlet creation and use the db tables like JournalArticle, JournalArticleImage, JournalArticleStructure and JournalArticleTemplate.
