Fragment Specific Tags

There are Liferay-specific tags for creating editable, text, image, and link fields, and for embedding widgets.

Making Text Editable

You can make text of a fragment editable by enclosing it in an <lfr-editable> tag like this:

<lfr-editable id="unique-id" type="text">
   This is editable text!
</lfr-editable>

If you need formatting options like text or color styles, use rich-text:

<lfr-editable id="unique-id" type="rich-text">
   This is editable text that I can make bold or italic! 
</lfr-editable>

The lfr-editable tag doesn’t render without a unique id.

Making Images Editable

Images use the same <lfr-editable> tag as text, but with the image type, like this:

<lfr-editable id="unique-id" type="image">
   <img src="...">
</lfr-editable>

After you add the lfr-editable tag with the type image to a Fragment, when you add that Fragment to a page, you can then click on the editable image to select an image or configure content mapping for the image.

Most images can be handled like this, but to add an editable background image you must add an additional property to set the background image ID, data-lfr-background-image-id. The background image ID is set in the main div for the Fragment and is the same as your editable image ID.

<div data-lfr-background-image-id="unique-id">
   <lfr-editable id="unique-id" type="image">
      <img src="...">
   </lfr-editable>
</div>

Content mapping connects editable fields in your Fragment with fields from an Asset type like Web Content or Blogs. For example, you can map an image field to display a preview image for a Web Content Article. For more information on mapping fields, see Editable Elements.

There is also a specific syntax for creating editable link elements:

<lfr-editable id="unique-id" type="link">
    <a href="default-target-url-goes-here">Link text goes here</a>
</lfr-editable>

Marketers can edit the link text, target URL, and basic link styling—primary button, secondary button, link.

Including Widgets Within A Fragment

To include a widget, you must know its registered name. For example, the Site Navigation Menu portlet is registered as nav. Each registered portlet has an lfr-widget-[name] tag that’s used to embed it. For example: the Navigation Menu tag is <lfr-widget-nav />. You could embed it in a block like this:

<div class="nav-widget">
    <lfr-widget-nav>
    </lfr-widget-nav>
</div>

These are the widgets that can be embedded and their accompanying tags:

Widget NameTag
DDL Display<lfr-widget-dynamic-data-list>
Form<lfr-widget-form>
Asset Publisher<lfr-widget-asset-list>
Breadcrumb<lfr-widget-breadcrumb>
Categories Navigation<lfr-widget-categories-nav>
Flash<lfr-widget-flash>
Media Gallery<lfr-widget-media-gallery>
Navigation Menu<lfr-widget-nav>
Polls Display<lfr-widget-polls>
Related Assets<lfr-widget-related-assets>
Site Map<lfr-widget-site-map>
Tag Cloud<lfr-widget-tag-cloud>
Tags Navigation<lfr-widget-tags-nav>

Enabling Embedding for Your Widget

If you have a custom widget that you want to embed in a fragment, you can configure that widget to be embeddable. To embed your widget, it must be an OSGi Component. Inside the @Component annotation for the portlet class you want to embed, add this property:

com.liferay.fragment.entry.processor.portlet.alias=app-name

When you deploy your widget, it’s available to add. The name you specify in the property must be appended to the lfr-widget tag like this:

<lfr-widget-app-name>
</lfr-widget-app-name>
