Hey, Abdullah! Thank you for pointing this out, we really appreciate it.

We'll be working on a fix for this, thanks!

Links at bottom of page are incorrect

2025-07-28T22:23:10Z

Links at the bottom of the main page https://learn.liferay.com/w/dxp/security-and-administration/security/system-for-cross-domain-identity-management-scim

for related items shows the following:

However, they are pointing to the Liferay headless API vs. the SCIM pages, e.g. https://learn.liferay.com/w/dxp/integration/headless-apis/liferay-security-apis/scim-user-api-basics

Mastering Data Modeling with Liferay Objects Module 6 Issue

2025-07-28T13:49:10Z

First, your training couses are some of hte best I have ever taken, thank you!

In the section Creating Entry Display Pages for Clarity's Distributor Management App Exercise: Creating the My Application Page there seems to be some missing steps. As best I can tell from what I have learned in couse, the two sentences:

Select the Collection Display fragment and click Select Collection () in the configuration side panel.

Go to the Collection Providers tab and select Distributor Applications.

should be steps between steps 3 and 4 and should include one more step of dragging a Collection Display fragement to on the page first.

Second, the picture shows a diffrent Application Details Grid than is part of the Distributor Application Success Page composition ( it is missing a 4th row for Application Status. When I try to add that row the only option is to go from 6 Moduels to 12 which leaves 2 rows (4 moduals) blank which looks a little strange since the grid lines are being used. I am not sure how that is supposed to or would be addressed.

Finnaly, mapping the field for the Application Status needs to be done for all of the fields not just that one.

Again, thank you very much for all the work that has gone into making these training courses. I am obviously learning, so if I am missing something, please let me know.

Best Regards

Action Executor sample code does not compile for Liferay Portal 7.4.3.132

2025-07-18T19:39:26Z

Hello Liferay Community Admin,

the online Liferay Developer guide contains an invalid Action Executor sample project for the Creating an Action Executor page.

The Creating an Action Executor page is available at

https://learn.liferay.com/w/dxp/low-code/workflow/developer-guide/creating-an-action-executor

The sample project referenced on the page is available at

https://resources.learn.liferay.com/examples/liferay-e5c9.zip

The sample project contains code and configuration intended for Liferay Portal 7.4 GA132

e.g.

% cat gradle.properties
liferay.workspace.product=portal-7.4-ga132
liferay.workspace.target.platform.version=7.4.3.132

However, attempting to build the sample project will trigger a compilation error, due to a mismatch in the WorkflowDefinitionManager#deployWorkflowDefinition usage.

e.g.

% ./gradlew clean build

> Task :stopDockerContainer
Stopping container with ID 'liferay-e5c9-liferay'.
No container with ID 'liferay-e5c9-liferay' running.

> Task :removeDockerContainer
Removing container with ID 'liferay-e5c9-liferay'.
No container with ID 'liferay-e5c9-liferay' found.

> Task :cleanDockerImage
Removing image with ID 'liferay-e5c9-liferay:7.4.3.132-ga132'.
No image with ID 'liferay-e5c9-liferay:7.4.3.132-ga132' found.

Is there an alternative branch for this sample project which contains a valid set of code and configuration for Liferay Portal 7.4 GA132?

Please review and advise.

Thank you,

RE: RE: test

2025-05-15T18:38:58Z

Hey again, Illan. I took the badge test and it worked as expected for me. The scoring is also correct (there are 20 questions instead of just 13).

Could you try taking the test one more time and share if it works?

In case you experience the same issue, could you answer the following questions so we can figure out what might've happened:

Do you remember how many questions you answered? Were there more than 13?
Were you logged in before taking the test?
Did any error pop up upon completing the test?
Did you see any message about site maintenance after you finished the test?

Any other details are valuable to assess your issue. Thank you for your patience!

Best regards,
Claudio Souza

2025-05-15T15:58:24Z

Hello there, Illan! Thank you for taking the time to report this issue. I'm Claudio and I'll help you with this.

This might be something related to the Badge Test's configuration. I'll do a quick investigation and let you know of the results.

Additionally, if you feel more comfortable chatting through our Community Slack, feel free to message me there!

Documentation or Guidance on Writing Groovy Scripts for Liferay Objects

2025-05-15T15:42:51Z

Dear Liferay Support Team,

I’m currently working on implementing custom workflow logic using Groovy scripts within Liferay, specifically targeting Liferay Objects. While I’ve reviewed the available documentation, I’m finding it challenging to locate comprehensive and up-to-date resources that explain how to effectively write Groovy scripts that interact with Liferay’s API—particularly when working with custom Objects and accessing their fields, services, or associated classes.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could provide or direct me to:

Official or recommended documentation for writing Groovy scripts in the context of Liferay workflows.
Examples or best practices for accessing and manipulating Liferay Object data within Groovy scripts.
A reference or list of commonly used Liferay service classes and how they can be accessed in workflow conditions or actions.

Having a clearer understanding of how to properly access object attributes and utilize Liferay’s internal classes will significantly help streamline our development process and avoid common pitfalls.

Thank you in advance for your assistance and support.

Best regards,

Hello, good morning. I took the following certification test:

https://learn.liferay.com/l/29393515

And I get an error when I solve it, as it says the following:

but I think it's a mistake:

Sorry, you did not pass this quiz 😞

Unfortunately, a score of 70 or higher is required to obtain the course completion badge. But don't worry, you can retake the quiz at anytime!

Your score:

13 of 13 - 13%

Hello there, Jorge! I apologize for delaying my response.

Could you please inform me of your current status on this issue? Were you able to authenticate with your desired email or a different one, take the course, and pass it?

I'll be waiting for you reply.

Understanding the permission Model in Liferay (Technically)

2025-04-08T15:22:02Z

I was asked to provide a list of all pages in a site, and show what permissions each role had on the page. Getting the list of Pages (aka. Layouts) id fairly easy to do, however, as was the getting of the Permissions for a page/layout. What was not clear at all, and what I spent hours looking for was a description of how this all works technically, so that I could gain access to this from groovy.

Turns out that the Permission actions are the important part, but they are linked via a bitwise process, to simplify and increase performance when doing permission checking. THis is not uncommon, but a simple one liner could've provided this information to me, and saved me hours of messing around, once I understood this, there was then a need to develop a specific piece of code to get access to this data. This seems like a common thing to want to do, so I would guess that buried somewhere in the Liferay code is exactly this, but, again, it's not obvious where to even look.

The only clue I could find on this when Googling was: http://www.liferaysavvy.com/2013/02/liferay-permission-system-detailed.html

Which is a really old link, this link does however have two 'Liferay' links, one of which is no longer available, and the other, that could be useful, but was no where to be found when searching on Google (This link also takes an age to load, most people would've navigated away, but the time it took to load, I nearly did!)

Hi Gina, thanks for reaching out!

After reviewing it, this seems to be fixed. Could you please confirm if that’s the case on your end?

When I click on Order Workflows, it redirects me to this page.

Thanks

RE: RE: Building Enterprise Websites Course - can't add objects as admin user

2025-04-01T16:40:33Z

Apologies, Andrea—I didn’t receive the reply notification for some reason.

If you follow the first two steps I shared earlier, do you see a Reindex button next to All Search Indexes under the Global section? If so, could you click it and on the resulting prompt, click Execute.?

This should work now. Let me know if it resolves the issue.

Feel free to reach out to me on Community Slack if you need any further assistance.
