Documentation: Using the Publications Toolbar

Simplified conflict resolution user actions

Feature Status: Release

This set of improvements aims to simplify the manual work users must do to resolve conflicts when publishing a publication. Now, instead of raising a conflict to be resolved manually by the user, the system will try to overwrite conflicting changes in production with the modifications done in the publication, meaning that the Modification and Modification deletion conflict types won’t be presented for the user anymore.

In the case of a Deletion modification conflict, the system won’t resolve it automatically, but now it makes it easier to keep the modifications made in the publication. In the Conflicting changes screen, we added a button with the option to "Restore in Production" for conflicts in which the asset was deleted from production and is now in the Recycle bin.

Highlights:

  • Reduce the amount of manual work by automatically solving most of the conflicts.

  • Improve user satisfaction and reliability on publications by ensuring that assets supported by Recycle Bin can be quickly restored, avoiding requiring the user to discard needed changes.

Documentation:

Backward Compatibility for "Out-of-date" Publications

Feature Status: Release

Provided an option to turn the “Out-of-date” feature on/off. When turned on (the default behavior before this release), ongoing publications created in previous Liferay versions were labeled as “Out-of-date” after the upgrade and could not be modified or published. This feature is now off by default, and users can publish these publications without Liferay support.

Highlights:

Increase manageability over publications and the ability to publish any previous modification, including after Liferay upgrades.

Custom module language translation override

Feature Status: GA

In order to make it easier to manage and override portal language translations, modules have a new configuration that allows language keys to be defined specifically for a single module. This also allows the user to override a system-wide language key programmatically within the module.

An existing feature allows modules to use the Language Resources header (liferay.language.resources) in a module's bnd.bnd file to include custom Language.properties files. This header gets added automatically by Liferay Workspace when a custom language file is present.

A new variable was added within this header, module.only="[true/false]"to allow the user to set language keys to be specific only for that module and override any existing keys in the system.
