| Jay Johnson | : | PortletPreferences Not User Specific |
| Hello All, | ||
| I'm using the PortletPreferences to store some user specific attributes. Once a user is authenticated, the following block of code gets executed: | ||
 | ||
| The preference is getting saved but unfortunately the same value is always returned for "userattribute", even though a different user is authenticated. Looking at the portletpreferences table, I do see the row containing the preference but the ownerid is always set to "0". | ||
| I am using Liferay 5.2.3. | ||
| Any help would be appreciated. | ||
| Thanks, J} | ||
| Sandeep Nair | : | Just write an SOP(System.out.println()) before saving the preference. This is just to confirm whether you are actually saving the value or not. |
 | ||
| Regards, Sandeep | ||
| Jay Johnson | : | Thanks, I did add some logging statements and I can confirm that the values are being saved, just not per user. I can also view the row in the PortletPreferences table, but for some reason the ownerid for that row is always set to "0". |
| Mazhar Anwar | : | Hi Jay, |
| I don't think it is possible to store diffrent portlet preferences for different users. Same portlet may have different preferences on different pages. | ||
| Can you clarify more on your requirement? | ||
| Regards, Mazhar | ||
| Jay Johnson | : | Basically, I would like to use the PortletPreferences to store portlet data that is private for each user. As an example, if a user has selected an item from a list in the portlet, I would like to persist the selection as a preference and then auto-select that item the next time the user logs in. |
| So does Liferay not allow for private preference attributes? | ||
| Mazhar Anwar | : | I am not sure, May be somebody from Liferay can answer this question. |
| Shagul Khajamohideen | : | The preferences are stored per portlet (instance). Based on where the portlet instance is located and who can edit the portlet, you can control the preferences. |
| What you are looking for is, just have some communities or pages and all logged in users can edit the portlet and the preference stored are just for that user. | ||
| You could get a personalized behavior that you are looking for by providing users with a "My Community" that they can add portlets to and edit/manage them. | ||
| It is possible that different vendors interpret the specifications differently. | ||

| Tarkan Corak | : | I think Jay`s right. Portlet preferences should be user specific. That's the reason why there is a"Configuration" page (for global portlet configuration) and (optionally) a "Preferences" page (for user settings). The link above describes how IBM WebSphere Portal (and also Liferay Portal?) takes the JSR spec. |
