Associate tags with our custom entity

Tags can be associated with our custom entity.

Add the following code in jsp:

/*Asset Tags Selector tag*/

<liferay-ui:asset-tags-selector/>

/*Theme define object is mandatory for asset tag selector*/

<liferay-theme:defineObjects /> 

And In controller:
 

/*Create service context object for sample class*/

ServiceContext serviceContext = ServiceContextFactory.getInstance(Sample.class.getName(), actionRequest);

/*Calling the asset entry add method*/
    AssetEntry assetEntry = AssetEntryLocalServiceUtil.updateEntry (serviceContext.getUserId(),serviceContext.getScopeGroupId(), Sample.class.getName(),sample.getId(),serviceContext.getAssetCategoryIds(), serviceContext.getAssetTagNames());

Here I created service context object for my Sample entity.

And Using AssetEntryLocalServiceUtil.updateEntry() I am passing the required parameters.

And now you will find a new entry in AssetEntry and AssetEntry_AssetTag table.

And In the edit mode:

In jsp:

Get the tag names and make it as comma separated string.

And Pass it to curTags

/*Get your tag names*/

String tagNames = "tag1,tag2,tag3";

/*Give your tag names here*/ 

<liferay-ui:asset-tags-selector curTags="<%=tagNames %>"/>

Add,Edit and Delete can be easily done in liferay-ui:asset-tags-selector easily.
