Resources Importer Tips

The resources importer is configured in WEB-INF > src > resources-importer theme folder.

• Enable or Disable resources importer

resources-importer-developer-mode-enabled=true

To disable, set this to false.

Configuring resources-importer to work as Site Template or Site

To set the name of the Site Template, configure the following property in liferay-plugin-package.properties file:

resources-importer-target-value=Your Site Template Name

As Site

In order to configure resources-importer as Site, add/edit the following properties in liferay-plugin-package.properties file:

WARNING: This is not the best way according to the Official Documentation.

Enable resources-importer

resources-importer-developer-mode-enabled=true

Set the site name

resources-importer-target-value=Your Site Name

FYI: If the site name already exists, this site will be overridden when the theme is deployed.

Now, enabling resources-importer to work as Site approach

resources-importer-target-class-name=com.liferay.portal.kernel.model.Group
