Introduction Welcome back to the second part of our series about creating and importing products with Liferay.  In the previous post, we talked about getting started with the Minium accelerator and then created our categories.  In this post we're going to take a closer look at setting up specifications prior to importing our products.  When we talk about...

Happy Friday! Short blog post today since I've just found out that the Liferay IDE and the Liferay Developer Studio (LDS) have both been updated! https://github.com/liferay/liferay-ide/releases/tag/3.10.1 The updates basically update the built-in Blade version used by both IDEs, so this effectively enables both of the IDEs to target and use the Liferay Quarterly...

If you need an introduction to what Liferay actually is, we (Dave and myself) have collected a few samples of that as guests on episode 795 of the FLOSS Weekly podcast.

Introduction In a previous post and follow-up, I provided some background on using Liferay's Batch APIs to import products. I realize that for anyone that is new to Liferay's commerce capabilities this might be a little like trying to run before you walk so in this series of posts I am going to take a step back and walk through the process of creating and importing...

Introduction This is a quick follow up to my last post where I discussed how to use Liferay's batch APIs to import products. I've had a few people asking how they could leverage the batch APIs to update products. The confusion stems from the fact that there is no batch version of a PUT or PATCH endpoint available when browsing the endpoints in the API explorer. Well never fear,...

Introduction The out of the box Search Bar Suggestions returns Search Result Suggestions. This is great but for some sites it makes sense to return Keyword Suggestions instead. For example on an ecommerce website if I start typing tshirt we may want to suggest 'tshirt mens', 'tshirt womens', 'tshirt kids' instead of specific Search Results. This blog post will...

Introduction So we have a public repo we've been using to train developers on Liferay, but we're using HSQL. We did this on purpose because we couldn't guarantee that developers would have a common local database with necessary permissions to reset, overwrite, etc. For a lot of reasons, using HSQL made a lot of sense. Except for one - Liferay upgrades. You see,...

Introduction In most cases, if you’re going to be using Liferay’s Product capabilities you’re going to be importing product data from an external system such as a PIM, ERP, or even a legacy Commerce platform.  In some cases, this will be a one time data load, and in others, the remote system might continue to be the source of truth and Liferay’s catalog might receive product...

This taglib introduces a new attribute called propsTransformer that calls external JavaScript files that need to be transpiled using Babel and the liferay-npm-bundler. I used the blogs module as a reference: <clay:management-toolbar ...

I've hinted about this already, that I have not been able to add images to my blog posts since an update was applied recently. We have been working with Liferay...
