Introduction So I've been working on my Objects Rule! series and have been working on an app I plan on showing off soon, but I realized that there is probably a gap explaining, well, how do you get started? I mean, it's one thing to go and check the client extensions sample repo here: https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal/tree/master/workspaces/liferay-sample-workspace,...
I have to start with an apology. I'm publishing this blog early because parts are ready to go now but some parts are not yet ready. I felt it was too important to hold off waiting for the final parts to be ready before publishing... This will be a living blog post, it will get updates on it as soon as I hear something different, but in the mean time the content that is here is...
Hey, so in my blog last week, I indicated that I had the following in my portal-ext.properties file: session.timeout=15 session.timeout.auto.extend=true session.timeout.warning=0 session.timeout.auto.extend.offset=300 As I was writing the blog and flipping back and forth from the post to the browser where I was building stuff, some times I was still being logged out. ...
Introduction Wow, I've blogged about Liferay Objects a lot lately. Talked about them too. Also am working on developing materials for learn.liferay.com about Objects. But one thing I haven't seen is an introduction to objects suitable for long-time Liferay users or new Liferay users, so I thought I'd take time to write one (since my blog ideas well seems to be...

Introduction Recently my friend and coworker Andrew Jardine and I were together in Rome for a Liferay Partner event where we were part of a round table discussion about all things Liferay. Even before the session, Andrew and I had already picked up our friendly argument about Staging (me) versus Publications (Andrew) and which one is better. For us it has always been...
Liferay released Liferay DXP 2024.Q1 this week, and in the corresponding release notes, you'll find the following nugget. Just search for "Java JDK 11 Runtime" to find in the notes, but here's the text for it: Support for Java JDK 11 is flagged for deprecation as of Q1.2024. As DXP continues to evolve as a platform to deliver powerful solutions, we are planning...
In case you missed it, Liferay has announced the deprecation of Websphere for Liferay DXP 7.4. The official announcement was made here: https://support.liferay.com/release-notes/2023-q4, scroll down near the bottom to the Feature Status Change section or just search the page for WebSphere and you'll find the reference. Additionally, there's a note on the 7.4 Compatibility...
Introduction I was recently in a meeting reviewing some FreeMarker templates that were extracting web contents using a structure, parsing and processing the data, and rendering an output. Basically the implementation was kind of the classic or "legacy" way of doing specialized presentation of structured contents in Liferay. In this case they had a Carousel...
So this has come up a couple of times recently, so after some research I thought I'd share the news. In 7.4, built-in support for ClamAV has been removed, and Liferay has no current plans on restoring that functionality. If you have upgraded from a previous version and you were using ClamAV, you may not be aware that your antivirus scanning actually has not been happening as...
Introduction GitLab is a web-based DevOps lifecycle tool that provides a Git repository manager, continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD), and a range of collaboration and project management features. It is used to manage the software development process, facilitating collaboration among team members, version control with Git, and automated build and deployment...
Introduction Kubernetes, commonly referred to as K8s, is an open-source system designed for automating the deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications. It is a robust and flexible solution for deploying Liferay, facilitating scalability and monitoring. While creating a Liferay cluster on Kubernetes is not overly complex, there are certain nuanced...
What an exciting time to be working in the technology field! We have so many great tools available to us that can benefit everyone. Generative AI (GenAI) is a perfect example of an amazing set of tools that is quickly gaining traction. I have to share my excitement about GenAI since the ways it can be used seem to be limitless! You might think that integrating GenAI...

Introduction So I was recently working with a team that was completing an upgrade assessment for a client wanting to upgrade from 7.2 to 7.4. A big chunk of the work in upgrading the client was going to be taken upgrading the themes. The client had one primary theme which contained the common style rules, but they also had 8 "child" themes, based upon the primary,...
So just a quick one today about an issue that I helped a coworker with. A client had reported that after they restarted Liferay, they had to redeploy their custom module that had a replacement @Component for one of Liferay's components, otherwise the custom component would not work. I replied back, "Oh, they just need to blocklist the Liferay component so their custom...
Introduction So I kind of have a "famous" blog post on Liferay Scheduled Tasks: https://liferay.dev/blogs/-/blogs/liferay-7-ce-liferay-dxp-scheduled-tasks. I say "famous" because it has been used by many folks to create scheduled tasks for Liferay 7, but it has also been the source of some bugs (i.e. undeploying from a cluster could cancel a job ...
Introduction In today's Office Hours session, the first question out of the gate was "If I'm using OpenID Connect for SSO, how can I synchronize UserGroup membership?". And, well, I just didn't know, but I said that I'd find out and then write a blog post to share the details, figuring that others doing OIDC may face similar sorts of concerns. I thought that...
This article explains how to deploy npm packages bundled with webpack that export and import stuff through the standard ECMAScript modules feature. This is a sequel of the Moving from AMD to Browser modules in Liferay DXP blog post, so it’s recommended reading that if you haven’t done so already. Why use webpack with ES modules? The main goal of using webpack and ES...
Introduction Recently I was pulled into a client project that was created for Liferay 7.4 and they needed to share content, structures, templates, documents, etc with multiple sites. Then I found out that they had done this the old way using the Global Site, and I was like "No No No, we have to fix this, we have to use Asset Libraries!" And everyone just...
