There are a handful of events where I get to step outside of the day to day administrative tasks of Liferay to meet our community and interact with developers. JavaOne is one event that allows me...

Well, I decided this week, while I was "in the field" that I would give GMail a try. I've had an account for a long time now, but I'm used to having everything local on a machine where I store gigs...

A common story we hear from the community and our customers is that Liferay has a lot of powerful features. However, it is difficult for those who want to just create a community and start...

After many months of testing, tuning, and more testing, we have finally completed the tuning and benchmarking of the portal. We finished the tunings for 5.1 Enterprise over a month ago and are in...

The web has changed. You can call it Web 2.0, Web 3.0 or whatever you want but the truth is that websites are now more than ever interconected. Originally we had links, later came the ability to...

Back in October 2008 at the JSFOne conference, I was interviewed by Kito Mann of JSF Central regarding Liferay and ICEfaces. The podcast and transcript were recently published at the JSF Central...

Well, over the last couple years I've been largely working from a laptop. I thought I liked it... until recently I simply needed more power. I went ahead and did some research and found that there...

You can now configure your File Upload settings from control panel (5.2.3+), including allowed extensions and max file sizes!

Brett Swaim | Apr 14, 2009 8:33 PM

In the never ending effort to make Liferay easier to configure, mail settings can now be set in the control panel (5.2.3+). To do so, go to the control panel and click server administration, then...

I made a slight change to the login portlet that gives the user the option to create their own password, instead of always having a random password emailed to them at creation time. To enable this...

After some time of using our message boards, I have realized that when you are searching for something it isn't very clear what scope you are in. I have made some changes...

JSF has a simple Inversion-of-Control (IoC) container called the JSF Managed Bean Facility (MBF). Although it has a verbose XML syntax, and is not as robust as the Spring BeanFactory,...

This is a worker at my hotel who helped me replace my laptop hard drive. It was 4 am and I had given up because I didn't have a small screwdriver. We tried everything. Finally, he creatively used...

My stay in India was much more comfortable this time around than two years ago. Infrastructure is improving. My hotel was quite nice. In fact, it's as nice if not nicer than what I have at home. I...

Here are some pictures of our new India office. It's in the Raheja Arcade, smack in the center of the Koramangala, the IT district of Bangalore. I was deeply humbled to witness our expansion into...

When people say JVM tuning, most of the time they mean tuning GC. Before we start to tune JVM for Liferay Portal, let us talk about some basic conceptions of GC. As we all know jvm can handle...

If you're as cutting edge as our own Jonathan Neal, you might have downloaded the IE8 final that was released this morning at 9am PST. IE8 is a HUGE improvement towards standards, and while it...

I have been recently working on the very interesting task of making the Liferay database shardable. What does this mean? There is a good introduction to shards here, but basically it is a way of...

It's a humbling reminder that Java, AJAX, and the latest Saturday Night Live skits aren't on Time's list of ten ideas changing the world right now. Sure, no one doubts that technology (and...

Alot of people seem to have problems deploying custom plugins to liferay. I admit that deployment can be a little tricky. First off, Liferay has a naming convention which is more than just a naming...

Ryan Park | Mar 9, 2009 4:40 PM

New to the next release of 5.1 and 5.2 are more streamlined templates. We’ve condensed all the includes and some code into 2 includes to cut the confusion and the clutter. Though a small update, I...

Hi everybody, I thought it might be interesting to share some info about the last development I've been involved on these last days. This development has been sponsored by a client and consists on...

Ray Augé | Mar 5, 2009 2:41 PM

Wouldn't that be a hoot? But how do we do that? Simple, we use AOP (Apsect Oriented Programming). Ok, you tried that but couldn't make it work with Liferay. Well, that's what this particular post...

This is not a blog, it is a microblog! I just came here to show this simple and very cool feature, at least for me, the dependency management on deployment time. A little of context: The dependency...

Everyone these days is thinking about the economy and how to hold on to their cash in what seems to be the worst downturn of the last 60 years. Open source vendors that had for the last 24 months...

As most readers will probably know, one of the most powerful characteristics of Liferay's portlets is the fact that when they are added to different communities or organizations (whenever I use the...

Julio Camarero | Feb 19, 2009 6:05 PM

Hi there! As you may have already seen, the user/organization administration in Liferay 5.2 has been completely redesigned. The new interface is, in my opinion, clearer, nicer and much more usable,...

If you follow our trunk as ardently as I do (and really, who doesn't) you might have seen some front end changes, and there might have been some theme changes that are a little different from what...

Last post I talked about creating a wrapper to expose core functionality out to plugins. This time I'm going to leverage the same technique to allow you to make a custom tool available to Velocity...
