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 ...

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...

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...

It's no big secret that Liferay's bundled wiki is one of the most often criticized. And I can understand it. For example, when you first add the portlet you get a view that looks nothing like a...

I have a dual-boot setup on my machine Ubuntu Linux / Windows XP and I often access my Linux Ext3 partitions from Windows using this tool: fs-driver.org/ It's the most simple thing you can...

This post is a bit tardy only because the past couple of days have been pretty backed up, but the last day of the conference was one of the better ones. I'll go through the sessions that I was able...

I've used the Lomboz plugin now to create several portlet projects for Liferay, and it's worked out very well. For those who don't know what the Lomboz plugin is, it's got a rich history. It used...

I wrote a new wiki because I saw some gripes in the forums. wiki.liferay.com/index.php/Getting_Started_with_Liferay I think though, that more people want a guide on how to just start setting up...

I needed to upload some docs to our Document Library today, so I decided to give WebDAV a try instead of uploading each document one by one. I heard that our WebDAV implementation was buggy, so I...

So, day 2 of the ol' AJAX Experience. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attend many sessions today, due to having to reschedule doctors appointments, navigate the trickeries of booking hotels (which...

One of the things I love about my job is the opportunity to travel to different countries and experience everything about the culture. On this particular trip I've had the pleasure of visiting...

We finally have a corporate blog! We had been talking about doing this for a long time and finally we've had the time to make the the necessary improvements to Liferay to make this possible. As...
