A SysAdmin came up to me and said he was having issues starting Liferay DXP 7.0, a bunch of CNFEs were coming up at startup. I found that they were set up to use Wily for monitoring their JVMs, and it was those classes that were generating CNFEs. In general, when you add the -Djavaagent=XXX parameter onto your app server's startup command, you're enabling an agent which will have...

In this blog we explore the ways of implementing registration process for a portal with multiple sites.  Portal Sites Configuration Let’s presume we have a portal with the following sites configured: "Liferay", default site, will not be listed "Site 1", site with open...

I am starting a short series of blogs in which I will show how to customise User Registration / Customer Acquisition process in Liferay. The inspiration for this blog is one of our DXP portal implementations which had very broad (and frequently changing) user data collection requirements.

Recently we got a couple of complains about new Web Content article behaviour, specifically about the JournalArticle.getContent() method’s return value. The main problem developers experience is when they embed an Image into the Web Content article or use ddm-image or ddm-document-library field in their structures they expect to see the URL of the object(Image or D&M asset) in the...

TL;DR - Add "-v 7.0" to your Blade command line to create modules for Liferay CE 7.0 and Liferay DXP 7.0. Hey, just a quick blog post here for something that developers may need to know... I updated my Blade command line tool recently (since I use Intellij, I rely on the command line tool quite a bit for new module project creation), but I hadn't started a new module after...

The world is big and diverse. Right now there are around 7.6 billion people in the world, 4 billion with an internet access. When you’re improving a Design System for a product used worldwide, like Lexicon for Liferay, you should take this simple statement into account. Cultural, religious and regional concerns need to be considered. It may sound obvious, but the true fact is that we...

Intro In case you're not aware, Liferay uses Apache PDFBox to look at your PDFs. In order to index the content of a PDF, Liferay uses PDFBox to extract the content and uses that during indexing/searching. However, Liferay tends to fall behind a bit on updating 3rd party libraries. When you favor stability, you tend to be rather conservative when considering updates like...

What happened? Today at 12:13pm WeDeploy, our hosting solution, started a maintenance process. As a normal procedure some services were restarted.  After the restart, all services from community.liferay.com were up and running, but we noticed that some blog and forums posts were missing. We checked our list of backups and we noticed that the last backup was on July 4th. ...

If you are working with Liferay for a while now, you might still remember a feature that went missing with version 6.1 - but there was a way to get it back. Also in 6.2 and 7.0. Now that Liferay Portal 7.1 and Liferay DXP 7.1 are out, you might wonder if the feature is finally implemented, or how quickly it can be implemented, or what that feature actually is (or was): Let's...

Typography Several reasons and their benefits drove us to a change from Source Sans Pro to System font: System fonts are always more legible as they are designed more consciously and they are designed to work in all languages. Using a non-system-font introduces extra size in the CSS that each user has to download. Source Sans Pro does not support for example...
