    Hi,

    I am trying to embed a portlet into the theme, but nothing will show up.
    First I created via blade a portlet provider which already contains a portlet preconfigured as a AddPortletProvider. Then I changed it to a ViewPortletProvider.

    After that I tried to embed the portlet the way you mentioned above.

    But nothing will show up, no errors.


    Thx for every feedback, I appreciate that.

    In addition, I did not use the instanceId property mentioned above.

      Please check whether you have given correct portlet name. And, instanceId have to be given only for instanceable portlet as I mentioned in the post.

      Hi,

      this is what I have implemented

      <@liferay_portlet["runtime"]
      defaultPreferences="${freeMarkerPortletPreferences}"
      portletProviderAction=portletProviderAction.VIEW
      portletName="DisplayMessagesViewPortletProvider2"
      />

      The portlet component header is:

      "javax.portlet.name=" + DisplayMessagesViewPortletProviderPortletKeys.DisplayMessagesViewPortletProvider

      And behind "DisplayMessagesViewPortletPovider" = DisplayMessagesViewPortletProvider2


      If I changed the name of the porlet in the ftl. There is an error which cannot find the portlet with the name...

      Thx for the hints.

      My portlet was instanceable, so I set it to false in the component header and then the content showed up.

      After you said instanceId, I checked my portlet again.

      Thx again.
