title: Liferay 7.3: How to preconfigure a portlet embedded in a page fragment?
body: <p>We're using Liferay 7.3 (CE) and are trying to embrace the relatively new feature of "Content Pages" with "Page Fragments". We're able to develop page fragments that already include portlets (named "widgets" in the context of content pages), using the <code>&lt;lfr-widget-WIDGETALIAS&gt;</code> tag. So far, that works.</p>
  
  <p>Now we're trying to prepare page fragments that embed portlets <em>with special portlet configuration applied</em>. For example, we want to prepare a page fragment that just shows an asset publisher portlet configured to list WebContent articles from a pre-defined category. The user should be able to just put that fragment onto the page without having to care about the configuration of the asset publisher portlet.</p>
  
  <p>We did not find any direct way to achieve that -- our first guess that the configuration could be written as attributes or content of the <code>&lt;lfr-widget-...&gt;</code> tag was deterred by a hint in the liferay docs that there are no valid attributes or content to attach to that tag.</p>
  
  <p>Does anybody have an inkling of an idea on how to achieve embedding portlets in page fragments with pre-defined portlet configuration applied? (including out-of-the-box Liferay portlets?)</p>
