Select Category And add Post in message board using velocity template.

Hi Guys,

It is possible to put web content of MB-category in every page rather than to display message board in every page in website .

On selecting category, we will open a pop-up dialog box for inserting  Post in message board. 

Template Code :

#set ($MBLocalService= $serviceLocator.findService("com.liferay.portlet.messageboards.service.MBCategoryLocalService"))

 

#set($cat=$MBLocalService.getCategories($groupId))

 

<form name="frmmb" id="frmmb">

<select name="foo" id="foo" onchange="pop(this.value)">

<option  value= "select">  -select-- </option> 

#foreach ( $c in $cat)

<option  value= "$c.getCategoryId()">  $c.getName() </option> 

 

#end

</select>

</form>

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">  

  

function pop(value)

{

var s=value;

alert(s);

 AUI().ready('aui-dialog','aui-dialog-iframe','liferay-portlet-url', function(A) {     

    var url = Liferay.PortletURL.createRenderURL();      

   url.setPortletId("19");        

 url.setWindowState('pop_up');           

 

url.setParameter("&_19_struts_action=%2Fmessage_boards%2Fedit_message&_19_mbCategoryId=");

  window.myDialog = new A.Dialog(             {               

  title: 'Ask a Question?',   

              width: 640,           

      centered: true            

 }         ).

         plug(          

   A.Plugin.DialogIframe,             {               

  uri: url.toString()+""+s,               

  iframeCssClass: 'dialog-iframe'             }  

       ).render();     }); 

}

 

</script>

<input type="button"  class="aui-button-input aui-button-input-submit"  name="dialog" value="Select Catagory & Add Question" />
