Liferay customization navigation portlet

Question

I want to customize the Liferay navigation portlet in a jsp page but I don't know what value of headerType is set for rootPage.

I wish the header was the root of the page. I tried with:

#set ($VOID = $velocityPortletPreferences.setValue("headerType", "root-layout"))

but doesn't work....

Thanks in advance

Set up the portlet in the way you want it via the preferences. After that, take a look in the PortletPreferences table. There you will find the setup in an xml format. You can use this as a way to get the desired values you need for setting up the portlet in a VM template.
