And now a brand new episode of Liferay Cribs... Just kidding. But this is a non-technical blog post. For the past year and a half, I feel very fortunate to have been working for Liferay, and I'm...

I recently had the realization that I was duplicating a certain set of code across multiple portlets. For those who know me, they will attest that my work motto is to work smart not hard. I hate...

One of the topics I've seen over and over on the forums is confusion over the configuration of Hot Deploy in Liferay. It can be complicated, and the default configuration is not a valid one if you...

One of the things I was looking forward to when starting with Liferay was the opportunity to work at home full time. I've worked at home in the past, but it was always on an ad-hoc basis, on days...

So a couple of weeks ago, Ivan and I were trying to figure out how he could let his friend hit his Liferay tomcat without having to set up a demo server or using adobe acrobat connect. Basically,...

I recently got myself a nice new mono laser printer with duplexing capabilities. Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a good deal on a simple mono laser printer that has duplexing built in?...

Remember the days of yore when the big annual college job fair came around? Hundreds of anxious students gather, holding a stack of resumes under left arm while keeping their right hand dry for...

Usually, my wife is the one who has to wait for me to get to bed while I work on bug fixes, packaging releases, or coding new features. Not this time though. It's past midnight and she's the one up...

The nice thing about Liferay's drag and drop layout is that you (usually) don't have to remember any of the portlet ids. At least, until you do. If you skim through portal.properties, there's a set...

I figured out how to do this when I was testing the message board subscriptions and the web form portlet. Configure your ROOT.xml to look like this: <Resource ...

James Min | Nov 2, 2007 10:02 AM

A common question and topic when I do training or work on support cases, is, "What is the right way to do inter portlet communication in Liferay?" Well, there is no "right way" to do this. At least...

Imagine this: (remember this is just a re-enactment, names have been changed to ensure privacy) It is Friday night and you are heading over to the friend's house, let's call him... Ryan Cheung, to...

While it's nice to blog about some of the tools I use (see the below posts on VirtualBox and the Lomboz plugin for Eclipse for more info), I figured I should probably mention some of the stuff I'm...

My previous post had much more success that I had ever imagined, which is good because it means that there is a lot of interest in the community to have a better wiki portlet. Also one of my...

Most engineers in Liferay, Inc. happen to be Windows users. Me, I've got one of the few MacBook Pro's in the company. Ever since I joined the company in May 2005, I have used Macs to do my...

My operating system of choice happens to be Mandriva Linux. Currently, I am running the Mandriva Linux 2008 Power Pack release. I have been running Mandriva since the dawn of time in Linux...

Michael Young | Oct 29, 2007 8:38 PM

I've been thinking a bit about the different technologies available to those thinking about integrating external applications into portal environments. One of the most requested questions we get in...

Our blogs has finally gotten a second look and I'm glad. Blogs should be improved tredmendously and already I see people commenting on people's blogs. Hopefully the response to blogs will be as...
