Hey everyone! We're celebrating this new year with a new version: Liferay Screens 1.3! Last months we've been busy as crazy helping with our first enterprise projects using Liferay Screens. Some of...

In Vaadin 7.2, server push support was introduced but only for servlet deployments. The initial plan was to add support for portlets "right after that release". That's not exactly what happened but...

You probably have not had time to digest Alpha 3 yet, but here we are again with a new preliminary release: Liferay 7 Alpha 4 is out! This release fixes 82 bugs resolved since Alpha 3 and adds 31...

I really love how everyone at Liferay is taking to the OSGi development model. It makes me proud to see how much work has been done in this regard. There's one very cool area I think is worth...

The Liferay portal has always been a popular basis for Vaadin applications. To serve better this active Vaadin users group we have recently created a lot of new material for both new and existing...

I met repeat guest Nate Cavanaugh, Liferay's Director of UI Engineering, at this year's Devcon and he answered all UI-based questions that we could quickly think about - specifically with regards...

Here we are again, following our bi-weekly releases plan with our third alpha release. We are still working hard to reach beta status as soon as possible and I would like to use this opportunity to...

LRNAS2015 was everything I hoped it would be. Every session was packed with demos of upcoming 7.0 features that left anyone using 6.2 very grateful (I was) that they weren't on an even older...

By now, we've heard of the necessity of creating a good experience for our mobile viewers. Yet, we're not always quite sure where to start or what factors should be considered in the process. As a...

You may recall back in February 2014 I published a FreeMarker script that would dump variables from WCM and ADT Templates in Liferay 6.2. Well, it's back, this time for Liferay 7! I tweaked it a...

A continuation of last week's episode, Milen Dyankov stepped in as a co-host and helped me ask the right questions: Ray Augé answers all sorts of questions about the Modularization in Liferay 7 and...

Alright. It's a wrap, folks. It's been my honor to live blog for all of you who were following along. See you at #LRNAS2016! Looking for day 1's coverage? Here you go. 4:23PM - Closing Keynote:...

Why do people go to the Liferay Symposium? This is a common question that has been asked countless times. Of course, if you ask someone at Liferay, our answers might be a little biased... But in...

Service Builder is the way how developers are often encouraged to do DB connectivity with Liferay portlets. It is, though, by no means the one and only way how one can connect to databases from...

Another Devcon "private" session - I missed his presentations, but got the summary right when he was done: Ray Augé took the time to answer all sorts of questions about the Modularization in...

By now it's obvious that the effects of a poor mobile experience are both immediate and far-reaching for business. A frustrating and not-so-user-friendly mobile interaction with your site could...

Wow, 50 episodes already. At this year's Devcon I spoke with Jens Bruhn. He's Software Architect at Prodyna AG, a Liferay Partner and the author of Nabucco Script Center, a Liferay App available on...

Vaadin portlets initialise using JS and XHRs, typically a couple of milliseconds later than basic html markup based portlets. This approach may cause “flickering”, which may be a bit disturbing if...

What a coincidence (or maybe not...) that Doc and Marty landed in the future on October 21, 2015, the date of the Liferay Spain Symposium. Maybe we didn’t see any overboards or self-tying shoes,...

Earlier this month Liferay held it's 3rd annual developer conference in Darmstadt, and I was grateful to be able to attend and see old friends, meet new ones, share some of my experiences, and...

So I'm here late one night and I'm wondering why Liferay is hosting profile pics... I mean, in this day and age we all have accounts all over the place and many of those places also support profile...

I'm slowly back to my regular sleep rhythm, after the highly anticipated sleep deprivation week that Devcon always is. Those ~450 participants that were there and made it the biggest and greatest...

Next week Liferay España will hold its annual Liferay Symposium in beautiful Madrid. I'm grateful to be able to attend once again, but this year will be especially awesome because of the momentum...

The summer is over and it's time to crown the winners of the 2015 Liferay Screens App Contest! We had some awesome entries in the first ever contest of its kind, but two of them really stood out as...

Olaf Kock | Sep 28, 2015 10:48 AM

Liferay comes with so many features that it's hard to judge when a feature is a good solution for a given problem. I'd like to shine some light onto some of these features and common misconceptions...

Olaf Kock | Sep 25, 2015 3:19 PM

Do you remember the article that I wrote in March? It talked about Liferay's limitation to have each overloaded JSP only customizable from one hook. The limitation was not enforced, so deploying...
