Displaying Guestbook Status

Displaying Approved Workflow Items
Step 1 of 2

The Guestbook Admin application’s main view currently has a search container with two columns: the guestbook name and the guestbook actions button.

Figure 1: The Guestbook Admin's main view currently shows the name of the guestbook and its actions button.

1. Add a third column between the two existing ones: call it Status. Open

   guestbook-web/src/main/reosurces/META-INF/resources/guestbookadminportlet/view.jsp
   

2. Find the existing search-container-column definitions:

   <liferay-ui:search-container-column-text property="name" />
   
   <liferay-ui:search-container-column-jsp align="right"
       path="/guestbookadminportlet/guestbook_actions.jsp" />
   

3. Put the following new column between the existing columns:

   <liferay-ui:search-container-column-status property="status" />
   

Save the file and wait for the web module to redeploy. With the addition of one line in the JSP, the Guestbook Admin application now displays the guestbook’s workflow status.

Now move on to the Guestbook application’s view layer.
