I am using liferay 6.1 CE (Liferay Portal Community Edition 6.1.1 CE GA2 (Paton / Build 6101 / July 31, 2012))

When I want to embed for example navigation portlet in template through this code:

$processor.processPortlet("71_INSTANCE_xyz1")

it shows just the same code in page not any portlet!

After searching, I understand that there is a bug in TemplateProcessor class in portal-impl/src/com/liferay/portlet/layoutconfiguration/util/velocity/TemplateProcessor.java file

TemplateProcessor.processPortlet() ignores supplied portletId.

Can i solve this problem by hook or extension?

If no how can solve problem?

When embedding portlet in template I receive the following error in log:

If you need to fix bug in the TemplateProcessor class, you have to use ext plugin, because the mentioned class is in the portal-impl. – milos.zikmund
Can you specify what Template are you embedding the portlet in? Is it the portal-normal.vm in theme or is this a web-content template you are talking about. – Prakash K
My problem is about web-content template – user3237100

The following code works for me in both Theme (.vm file) and LayoutTemplate (.tpl file)

$theme.runtime("my_portlet_WAR_myportlet")
