Issue

  • In the past, developers could get the list of JournalTemplates in Portal 6.2 using JournalTemplateServiceUtil.getStructureTemplates(groupId, structureId)
  • After renamed as DDMTemplate, the corresponding DDMTemplateServiceUtil.java class does not seem to have a method to retrieve DDMTemplates based on groupId and StructureId.

Environment

  • Liferay Portal 6.2
  • Liferay DXP 7.1

Resolution

  • Beginning in Liferay DXP 7.1, the method's new name is getTemplatesByClassPK(groupId,classPK) located inside the DDMTemplateLocalServiceUtil class.
  • Here is a groovy script to demonstrate:
     
    import com.liferay.dynamic.data.mapping.model.DDMTemplate;
    import com.liferay.dynamic.data.mapping.service.DDMTemplateLocalServiceUtil;
    
    long groupId = 20126;
    long ddmStructureId = 36104;
    
    List ddmTemplates = DDMTemplateLocalServiceUtil.getTemplatesByClassPK(groupId, ddmStructureId);
    
    for (DDMTemplate ddmTemplate : ddmTemplates) {
    	println(ddmTemplate.getName());
    }
