How to include custom portlet in theme - Liferay DXP

You can include out of box as well as custom portlet inside theme in Liferay dxp but way has been changed.

By default Liferay uses free marker templates for theme. You can use below snippet to include any custom portlet in theme.

<#assign VOID = freeMarkerPortletPreferences.setValue("portletSetupPortletDecoratorId", "barebone")>

<@liferay_portlet["runtime"]
 defaultPreferences="${freeMarkerPortletPreferences}"
 portletProviderAction=portletProviderAction.VIEW
 portletName="com_custom_portlet_themesearch_ThemeSearchPortlet" />

In above example we have included custom portlet called 'Theme Search Portlet' in theme. You can also change preferences for portlet added in theme by passing preferences object to defaultPreferences attribute.
