Displaying Categories using Display Pages¶
Available: Liferay DXP/Portal 7.4+.
Using a Display Page Template, you can render Web Content, Documents, and Blog Entries in a Display Page. Starting with Liferay DXP 7.4, you can also render Categories on a Display Page. This can be useful if you want to showcase multiple products or services that you organize using Categories. Because Display Pages are ideal for showing a catalog of elements in a consistent way, you can use Category-based Display Pages to provide users a consistent experience when browsing your products or services catalog.
Displaying Categories in Display Pages¶
You render Categories in a Display Page in the same way you render other types of Display Page content. There are two options:
Create a Display Page Template for Categories and set this template as the default one.
Select the Display Page Template of your choice when you create or edit the Category.
You can also assign a Display Page Template to multiple Categories at once. Under Site Administration → Categorization → Categories, check the Categories you want to update and then click the Page () icon or, from the top Actions (
) menu, select Assign Display Page Template.
