The Sync team is pleased to announce SSO support in the latest releases of Liferay Sync desktop and mobile clients. Any SSO implementation that works against Liferay Portal will work with Liferay Sync as well (SiteMinder, OpenSSO, OAM, SAML, Shibboleth, etc). Please note this feature is for Portal EE customers only. Below are some screenshots showing the login flow using Liferay's...

(This blog entry in only available in Hungarian).   A Liferay életében az egyik fontos érték a “stay nerdy” kifejezés. Ezt elég nehéz magyarra fordítani, a két héttel ezelőtt az irodában zajló videóforgatás során is felmerült többekben a kérdés, hogy ez mit is jelent. Ha mindenképp megpróbálnánk lefordítani, talán  a “maradj kocka” kifejezés...

Through Liferay's JSON-WS interface it is possible to automate tasks that might otherwise take lots of time through Liferay portal's GUI interface.  For example for my work I often need to create a set of DDL record sets. By using the method "/ddlrecordset/add-record-set" it is possible to create these through JSON-WS from either a website or any other JSON client. ...

  Today I'm welcoming a repeat guest, Jorge Ferrer, Liferay's VP of Engineering. I've had the great opportunity to ask him a lot of questions that provide deep insight into what's running behind the scenes in the engineering team. We didn't have enough time, so this is part 1 of our conversation, to be continued in episode 58. I need to squeeze in the (already recorded) episode...

  Another Liferay contest is on the way! This one, however, is a bit different than others you may have participated in previously. To celebrate the upcoming release of Liferay 7, we are holding a community Javadoc contest. It's simple; you write Javadoc for parts of Liferay you have expert knowledge on, and you accumulate points based on the amount of...

Hochverfügbarkeit erreichen, aber wie? Das Ziel jedes IT-Verantwortlichen ist es die Systeme seines Unternehmens "hoch verfügbar" zu machen und das aus gutem Grund. Für Unternehmen ist es unerlässlich sicherzustellen, dass ihre Systeme immer online sind. Weltweit wird daran gearbeitet so nah wie möglich an das "Verfügbarkeits Nirvana" von 99,9999 Prozent zu gelangen. Load...

  In this episode I'm talking probably one last time to James Falkner about upcoming changes... James was the first guest on Radio Liferay (back in episode 1 - as well as others) and now - at least temporarily until episode 56 is published - will be the last. We're talking about upcoming changes, and sadly it looks like this will be his last appearance on this program.  ...

Over the last 5 years if there's anything I've learned it's that the only thing that doesn't change is change itself. I've been blessed to have been a part of many exciting changes at Liferay and our community, seeing it grow from 80 to almost 600 employees, and from 20k to 150k community members, and being given the chance to: Join an awesome company and work with...

Back in October when we first introduced Launchpad Developer Preview, we put together a very simple documentation page for users. After seeing how people were interacting with the product we realized we needed a more robust structure. We pushed tons of improvements but still one of the challenges for every documentation is how easy people can find the content they are looking for....

Starting from 2014, we have begun our relationship with the Ai Na Volunteer Center and we are so glad to see that many of our colleagues have participated in the activities held by Ai Na and more importantly, bettered themselves through the communication with the autism children and teenagers. So who/what is Ai Na and what does it do? Right now, this might be the biggest question...

Hello all, I apologize it has taken so long to release a new version of Liferay IDE that supports Liferay 7 development.  But today we are pleased to announce the first milestone release for Liferay IDE 3.0.  And to quote a famous first line of a movie recently released:  "This will begin to make things right." For Eclipse Luna (4.4) and Mars (4.5), you can...

  In this episode, recorded at Liferay's Devcon 2015 in Darmstadt/Germany, I'm talking to Scott Nicklous and Neil Griffin. Scott is the specification lead for JSR-362 - otherwise known as the Portlet Specification 3.0 - and Neil serves as Liferay's representative on the expert group. Here are some of the topics that we talked about: JSR 362 page with all the latest...

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 our Liferay customers are realizing that most of their users are accessing their portals using mobile devices. So most of the times the decision is easy as pie: let's optimize...

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into...

Back in 2012 we began a quarterly program to recognize those of you who have over the years contributed more to Liferay than your average open source enthusiast. Each quarter we recognize the top contributors and the last 2 quarters are no different. These individuals have contributed code, blogs, helped out on the forums, and generally improved the Liferay community...

Just in time to throw a big celebration we finally have achieved Beta status for Liferay 7!

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 expanding on. Requirements and Capabilities What is it? Some history. The Requirements and Capabilities model is a surprisingly powerful concept born from the 17 years of experience...
