Issue

  • The error message that appears in a widget whenever the user wants to launch an error, sometimes the message appears at the bottom of the page and others at the top. For example, the same portlet twice in a row generates the message in two different places.

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.1

Resolution

  • The tag <liferay-ui:error> is configurable in several aspects and one of them is the position or the way in which the message is displayed which is controlled by the attribute  embed: 
    • When it  embedhas the value  true(by default), the message is displayed in the same place where the tag was invoked.

    • When it  embedhas the value  false (for example:)  ​<liferay-ui:error embed="<%= false %>" key="error401" message="error401"/>, the message is displayed floating down to the left.
