  Well, I decided to write this post after breaking my head a lot (almost brains were flying everywhere), to be able to configure remote staging in a clustered environment. The staging is that feature that you love or hate, it's a case of love and hate, like a mexican novel style, where in the end everything is right and everyone lives happily forever :p ...

More than once I've been asked to customise Liferay search to be "simpler" and more "Google like".   In the first part of this blog series I'm going to create a custom search portlet from scratch and in the second part I’ll be discussing options to tune search behaviour like relevance.   First task in creating a custom...

If you've been developing apps, hooks, and themes on Liferay Portal 6, you might be wondering whether you'll be able to develop apps the same way on DXP Digital Enterprise 7 and Liferay Portal CE 7. The answer is "yes"! You might also be curious whether Liferay's provided documentation that speaks to Liferay Portal 6 developers ready to transition to DXP Digital Enterprise and...

Background When we removed clustering from the GA release of LP7, we were trying to solve a specific problem. However, I knew even as I made the decision that this would frustrate smaller systems integrators in places like Southern and Eastern Europe, India, and Southeast Asia that work on small projects with implementation budgets of $30,000 or less and a fraction of that for each...

Hello Liferay Community!  I'm here at the Liferay Unconference in Amsterdam, listening to Brett Swaim talk about his real world experiences with upgrades and Staging. Earlier, I ran into Darryl from Paris to catch up on his dancing career, and last night I got to see Corne for the first time in two years, which seems far too long!  Over the last 24 hours, Liferay people...

  Yay, another episode, and maybe in time to sweeten your trip to Devcon in Amsterdam. I spoke to Kristoffer Onias and Victor Ware. Both work on testing Liferay with different areas of interest. You'll hear quite a bit about what Liferay does internally on testing. I actually talked to them quite a while ago, and the episode has been sitting on my disk since then.The numbers...

Dear Liferay Developers: We would like to share with you a new feature we have been working in very hard during the last months. As we all know, Liferay Portal’s current support for frontend development does not fully meet the expectations of the standard frontend developer. These expectations include leveraging npm, the most used package manager, to manage dependencies in...

One more year, Liferay Developer Conference (DEVCON) will bring together developers from all around the world to learn about Liferay, our platform, available tools and the people behind the product. The fifth edition of the Liferay DEVCON will take place in the historic Beurs van Berlage in the heart of Amsterdam. Featuring more than 40 in-depth sessions and technical...

Hi Liferayers! We'd like to share with you that we have created non-official, public Docker images from our master branch! And we are releasing them every day. The rationale for pushing to a non-official, public repository is simple: anybody in the world could fetch and build the platform from Github, so why not making it easy for them, offering a Docker image with that...

Many months later, it's time to continue the series on Liferay from Source. For this segment, we'll start with the following question: why would you have wanted to build from source in the first place? This particular series entry assumes that maybe you want to fix a bug that affects you. Or maybe you feel like there is a feature that is missing from an existing module, but...

As a companion piece to Eduardo Garcia's excellent Divide and Conquer blog post I thought it would be worthwhile writing up some reasons, from more of business, usability and flexibility perspectives than pure technical ones, why you might want to choose this approach for structuring and designing web content. When I read Eduardo's blog post I had a couple of thoughts.  I've...

A FAQ about Application Display Templates (ADTs) is how to render the fields in an structured web content when it is listed on an Asset Publisher portlet. Paulo Fernandes proposed in a blog entry a widely used approach based on parsing (via iteration or xpath) the underlying XML. As an alternative, this time I'll show you a divide-and-conquer solution for this use-case. ...
