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 still has not caught up with Firefox, Safari, Chrome or Opera, when it comes to IE, we will take what we can get :) However, since it's more accurate with the standards, you may have...

 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 scaling your database horizontally.  For a given table or set of tables, you split up the data that is stored and fetched based on a given hash or something like that....

The service builder framework in Liferay represents the database layer and all the interactions with database are done through service builder infrastructure. So in this blog, I will explain how you can use service builder framework inside your custom portlet using NetBeans 6.5 & Portal Pack 3.0. To use service builder framework, you first need to create a service xml and then...

[PS: this is my personal opinion and should not reflect in anyway the great company I work for.] Quite often we hear the saying that a person is the product of their environment. We all know that everyone is unique and that this uniqueness boiled together with the events and experiences of a lifetime which make for truely unique individuals. That being said,...

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 especially 2.0 technology) has been revolutionary, or that funny TV shows are a good way to relax. It's just a joyful reminder that we live in a big big world, and that big timeless...

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 convention and is actually designed to impose behavior. I think that in the future this should be changed to be based strictly on metadata contained in descriptors. Anyway, that...

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 thought it would be important to let anyone who is developing a theme in Liferay know because some lines of text have been moved around and this could cause some needless frustration. In...

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 a new functionality in the portal which will allow users to flag content as inappropiate. There will be a red flag icon near to several contents (blogs and message boards by now, and...

Perhaps as a secondary title I should put: "Why is every Liferay plugin writtin in plain old JSP?". There is a very big trend toward wanting to build portlets using some form of fancy framework. It is a seductive notion. One filled with all manner of "potential" benefits. There is also a very dangerous side effect. One that we don't initially consider, at least not until too much...

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 is all about. I'll show you how in three simple steps. Ok, so first off your custom entity MUST extend the entity of the service in question. Here is an example of an entity which...

  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 management on software development is always a very hard task for everyone, since the developer until the deployer guy. How guarantee that everything that one plugin depends on is...

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 been emphasizing other OSS benefits like control, risk-mitigation, better fit to business, and standards, seem to have made a strong return to value-oriented messaging.  We've done our...

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 word community from now on it also applies to organizations) they act as completely independent portlets, each with it's own data. For example, if you have two communities, one called...

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, and this has been possible because of the people in the community (thank you guys for all the suggestions, complaints and feedback) and people working for Liferay, especially Jorge Ferrer,...

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 you were expecting. There are some big happenings going on in the front end of Liferay, and I'll have some more details for you shortly, but I just made a commit that I wanted to talk...
