Custom Portlet Modes

Hi All,

If you are thinking to create own custom portlet mode with liferay and want to show in configuration wrench button, then its not OOB available with Liferay and cannot achieve using simply configuration.
Liferay supports below modes :

  about
  config
  edit
  editDefaults
  editGuest
  help
  preview
  print
  view

But below tag is making bit confusion whether it's support of custom mode or not. So this is used for Liferay custom modes(editDefault,editGuest etc.) only. 

  <custom-portlet-mode>


      <portlet-mode>edit_guest</portlet-mode>

      <portal-managed>true</portal-managed>

  </custom-portlet-mode>
