Hello Liferay folks,

I know that many time you will have this requirement that you need to integrate web content into Liferay theme.

So here is the code which can help you to integration :

Please follow the below steps :

1) Create theme in liferay

2) create liferay-look-and-feel.xml and put below code:

     <?xml version="1.0"?>

<!DOCTYPE look-and-feel PUBLIC "-//Liferay//DTD Look and Feel 5.0.0//EN" "http://www.liferay.com/dtd/liferay-look-and-feel_5_0_0.dtd">

<look-and-feel>

    <compatibility>

        <version>6.0.0+</version>

    </compatibility>

   <company-limit>

        <company-includes /> 

        <company-excludes /> 

   </company-limit>

    <theme id="drupal-garland" name="drupal-garland">

        <template-extension>vm</template-extension> 

    <settings>

          <setting key="portlet-setup-show-borders-default" value="false" /> 

          <setting key="header-article-id" value="header-article-id" /> 

          <setting key="sidebar-article-id" value="sidebar-article-id" /> 

          <setting key="footer-article-id" value="footer-article-id" /> 

  </settings>

 </theme>

</look-and-feel>

3) Now put the below code in .vm file where you want to show that web content.

    #set ($portletSetupShowBordersDefault = $theme_settings.getProperty("portlet-setup-show-borders-default"))

#set ($journalArticleLocalService = $serviceLocator.findService("com.liferay.portlet.journal.service.JournalArticleLocalService"))

#set ($headerArticleId = $theme_settings.getProperty("header-article-id"))

#set ($journalArticleContentObject = $journalArticleLocalService.getArticleByUrlTitle( $theme_display.getCompanyGroupId(), $headerArticleId))

#set ($templateId = $journalArticleContentObject.getTemplateId())

#set ($headerContent = $journalContentUtil.getContent( $theme_display.getCompanyGroupId(), $journalArticleContentObject.getArticleId(), $templateId, "$locale", $theme_display))

<div id="header">$headerContent</div>

4) Don't wait for next steps guys !!!! you are done with the functionality.

This is the easiest way to integrate the web content in theme.
