Issue

  • The requirement is to get a list of all the site's names, as well as their creation dates and members. If there is a shortcut from the Liferay control panel? 

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.0

Resolution

  • There is currently no OOTB functionality to achieve this.
  • However, below is the groovy script that can be used to get these details: 
    • import com.liferay.portal.kernel.service.GroupLocalServiceUtil;
      import com.liferay.portal.kernel.service.LayoutSetLocalServiceUtil;
      import com.liferay.portal.kernel.service.UserLocalServiceUtil;
      import com.liferay.portal.kernel.model.Group;
      import com.liferay.portal.kernel.model.LayoutSet;
      import com.liferay.portal.kernel.model.User;
      import java.util.Date;

      //populate a list with all the sites
      List < Group > groups = GroupLocalServiceUtil.getGroups(-1, -1);

      for (group in groups) {
      //fetch the groupId
      long groupId = group.getGroupId();

      //we need to use the LayoutSet's create date to find out when the site was created as there's no create date for groups
      LayoutSet sitePublicLayoutSet = LayoutSetLocalServiceUtil.getLayoutSet(groupId, false);
      Date siteCreationDate = sitePublicLayoutSet.getCreateDate();

      //get the name of the site
      String name = group.getGroupKey();

      //get the users that belong to the site
      List < User > groupUsers = UserLocalServiceUtil.getGroupUsers(groupId);

      //we only need those sites to which users are added (although the creator user will always be added) and when the group is really a site.
      if (groupUsers.size() > 0) {
      if (group.isSite()) {
      out.println("This site is called " + name + " and was created on: " + siteCreationDate + "\n");
      out.println("users added to this site can be found below:")
      }


      for (groupUser in groupUsers) {
      String screenName = groupUser.getScreenName();
      out.println(screenName);
      }

      out.println("______________________________________________________________________________________________________" + "\n");
      }
      }

Additional Information

  • To execute the script go to Admin > Control Panel > Server administration > Script tab
  • If users only require these details for one specific group at a time, then they may change the groovy script to meet their needs, and instead of iterating through all the groups, they can use one specific groupId. 
  • We have a different channel called "Global Service Team" for further assistance regarding the same.
