RE: Portal for products catalog
I've aready have experience with Liferay, but always as a developer with custom code and not using Liferay as a CMS.
However, I need to create a new portal with liferay 7 CE for a product catalog.
I believe that I should use webcontents for those products, with an application template and structure in order to have a specific form for the information, and using - for instance - freemarker I can display them on a specific page.
thus, users can see the catalog, admins can edit and see.
is this a correct approach? any other suggestion?
of course I can also build my own page and form, and using aui library and service builder I can store the same information in a custom block, but looks like using the out of box features is a better approach.
can I use a marketplace tool for data migration to create webcontents?
thanks.
Best regards,
Joao

Hi João,
IMHO you are right to think of using CMS features as a first option. However, if you are accostumed to develop in Java and are productive with that, you might find templating a bit less productive.
