Method Detail

getCurrentPage

Node getCurrentPage()

Gets current page (i.e. the page node for the currently executing portlet).

Returns:

current page Node, or null if indeterminable (i.e. this method is not called from within a portlet or current portlet is not bound to any page)

getCurrentPortlet

Node getCurrentPortlet()

Gets current portlet.

Returns:

current portlet as Node, or null if indeterminable (i.e. this method is not called from within a portlet)

getCurrentModuleElement

Node getCurrentModuleElement()

Gets current module element (module element draft or module element).

Returns:

current module element as Node, or null if indeterminable (i.e. this method is not called from within a module element)

Since:

SiteVision 4.2

getCurrentLocale

java.util.Locale getCurrentLocale()

Gets current Locale.

Returns:

current Locale, or default Locale if indeterminable

See Also:

NodeResolverUtil.getLocaleResolver()

getCurrentUser

Node getCurrentUser()

Gets current user.

Returns:

current user Node, or null if indeterminable

Since:

SiteVision 2.6

getCurrentUserIdentity

Node getCurrentUserIdentity()

Gets current user identity.

Returns:

current user identity Node, or null if indeterminable

Since:

SiteVision 3.5

getCurrentVersion

@Deprecated
int getCurrentVersion()

Deprecated. Use VersionUtil.getCurrentVersion()

Gets current version.

Returns:

VersionUtil.OFFLINE_VERSION, or VersionUtil.ONLINE_VERSION

Since:

SiteVision 2.6

getPortletNamespace

String getPortletNamespace(String aPrefix)

Gets a unique namespace for the specific portlet that is rendering.

The namespace is based on the prefix (aPrefix) and the current portlet's id. If you have two portlets of same type on the same page, the namespaces will differ. This can for instance be very useful when you connect a <label> with an <input>. Example in Velocity:

   #set ($portletContextUtil = $sitevisionUtils.portletContextUtil)
   ...
   #set ($ns = $portletContextUtil.getPortletNamespace('name'))
   <label for="$ns">Name: </label><input id="$ns" name="name" type="text" />

The namespace generated in the above example (i.e. $ns) could be something like: name12_2b9561c511855e0ab91800015

Parameters:

aPrefix - the prefix for the namespace (ensure it only contains chars that are valid in an id value if you use it as such)

Returns:

a unique prefixed namespace for current portlet, or aPrefix if indeterminable
