Upgrading 6.2 Layout Templates to 7.1

Upgrading your Liferay DXP 6.2 layout template to Liferay DXP 7.1 a few updates:

1. Open your layout template’s liferay-plugin-package.properties file and update the liferay-versions property to 7.1.0+:

liferay-versions=7.1.0+

2. Update the Bootstrap span[number] classes to use the newer col-[size]-[number] classes. See Creating Layout Templates Manually for more information on Bootstrap’s grid system.

3. Save the changes.

Note: Velocity layout templates are supported, but deprecated as of Liferay DXP 7.1. We recommend that you convert your Velocity layout templates to FreeMarker at your earliest convenience. See Creating Layout Templates Manually for an example of the updated syntax.
