Liferay : How to see which portlets are composing a page?

I'm new to liferay.

I imported a big lar into my liferay instance but, for the moment, have none of the required portlets : there are a lot of portlets in the project I'm joining.

Currently, I have the site structure, but the pages display the message that the portlet is not here (logical). For comprehension purposes, I wanted to build my portlets one after the other, on the need, to see them appear by the grace of liferay ;-) But for that I wanted to know which portlet is missing.

This thread : How can i find - which portlets are deployed on which pages in Liferay 6.1? explain how to achieve this through the DB.

Is there really no built-in solution to do it through the liferay interface? Have we really to hack in the DB to get the info or install plugin?

Thanks!

In your browser console, Liferay.Portlet.list contains all portlets in the page.
This value is generated by themeDisplay.getLayoutTypePortlet().getAllPortlets() on the server.

As an alternative you can also look at the HTML code of the page and look for elements with the class portlet-boundary. For example this belongs to an instance of the Journal Content Portlet (Portlet name 56):

<div class="portlet-boundary portlet-boundary_56_ portlet-static portlet-static-end portlet-borderless portlet-journal-content full-screen" id="p_p_id_56_INSTANCE_WdRdMGe86kDa_">
