Creating a Display Page for Distributor Applications
Published objects are integrated with the Info framework, so you can select them as the content type for display page templates. When selected, the object is set as the template’s mapping source, so you can map fragment fields to object fields to create flexible page displays for individual object entries.
When users submit an application, Liferay gives assigns it a friendly URL for viewing the application’s display page. To use this URL to view an application’s data, you must create a default display page template for the Distributor Application object. Here you’ll create this template and design it using a provided fragment composition.
-
Open the Site Menu (
), expand Design, and click Page Templates. -
Go to the Display Page Template tab and click Add (
). -
Select the Blank master template.

Enter these details and click Save.

This composition includes numerous fragments that are mapped to Distributor Application fields.

Click the Actions button (

Great! Now when users navigate to an application’s friendly URL, the display page template is populated with its data.
