Hello Chethan,

Very nice explanation, this way is very easy to understand what you mean. You and other users (including me) have the same requirements. For that I just made a wiki entry, with a small tutorial explaining how to get this kind or interface. Hope you like it.

And come back to tell us if this is what you were looking for. Remember to mark post as Solved if so.

Saludos, Jack.

Hello Nguyen,

Lets see if I can help you, first let me tell you that you probebly will need to touch code if with regular permissions is not enough.

For the [ADD Students] button in the Students portlet you have to go StudentsPortlet.java --> showViewDefault function and control there if user has or doesnt have permision to add. You have to touch here if you want to change the behavior.

For the edit and delete options you have to go to JSPs/students/edit_actions.jsp and control there, there is a icon-menu with the two option, controled by permissionChecker. You have to touch here if you want to change the behaviour

In the both cases you can go through liferay permisions for ADD_STUDENT, UPDATE and DELETE. See in control panel --> portal --> Roles (select one) --> define permisisions --> add permissions (locate students)

In a few days a version of XMLPortlefFactory with workflows enabled will be posted, maybe this can be of help because you can control which rows are inserted.

Did it help?

Saludos, Jack.

I think, beside Delete & Edit functions, we should add more "View Detail function" for big records that have a lot of columns.
I hope in the next version, it will have this useful function.
Thanks and regards!
