Issue
- We created our categories programmatically (using APIs).
- These categories are ignored by the Most Viewed Assets portlet.
- Even with category filters configured, the portlet shows assets based on views only, including assets not belonging to the selected categories.
Resolution
- This could happen if in your script, you use
AssetCategoryLocalServiceUtil.createAssetCategory followed by AssetCategoryLocalServiceUtil.updateAssetCategoryand you don't set all attributes of the category.
- You should avoid all the single Object typed parameterized update methods.
- Instead, you should use
AssetCategoryLocalServiceUtil.addCategory method, which triggers the necessary business logic for the (assetCategory) ServiceBuilder entity.
- This method is written to take in the required parameters and fill out the blanks.
