Using Liferay Util Get URL

The get URL tag scrapes the URL provided by the url attribute. If a value is provided for the var attribute, the content from the screen scrape is scoped to that variable. Otherwise, the scraped content is displayed where the taglib is used.

A basic configuration for the <liferay-util:get-url> tag is shown below:

<liferay-util:get-url url="https://portal.liferay.dev/" />

Here is an example that uses the var attribute:

<liferay-util:get-url url="https://portal.liferay.dev/" var="ldn" />

<div>
				<h2>We stole <a href="https://portal.liferay.dev/">Liferay Portal</a>, here it is.</h2>

				<div class="ldn">
								<%= ldn %>
				</div>
</div>
