Hi,

Thanks for letting us know. I did a bit of digging, and this problem was identified back in April (here) has been resolved in the code (here).

Best regards,

Adding Web Content Articles fails if user Time Zone is set to Australia, NZ

2025-09-02T15:34:05Z

From what I understand, this is where bugs are lodged?

I have what seems like quite a major bug to do with Time Zones (Australia and New Zealand tested) and adding new Web Content Articles.

Steps to reproduce:

Start a new docker container for Liferay Portal 7.4 GA 132 (I use podman instead as below)
podman run --rm -m 8g -p 8080:8080 portal:7.4.3.132-ga132

Save as Draft (or publish), a Save as Draft with Permissions Dialog pops up.
Everything works

Go to the logged in user's Account Settings -> Preferences -> Display Settings and choose Time Zone "New Zealand Standard Time" or "Australian Central Time" (only two tested) and Save

Repeat the above steps to create a Web Content Article
Now it does not work. The Cancel button shows, the Save as ... with Permissions Dialog never shows up. The user can't save any Web Content Articles.

In the browser Console you have the following errors:

react-dom.production.min.js:189 RangeError: Invalid time zone specified: ACST

Large ZIP file in temp folder

2025-06-18T07:49:30Z

Good morning,
we have Liferay Portal 7.1.3-ga4 installed in a cluster composed of two nodes.
For some time now, only on one of the two nodes, Liferay has been continuously writing huge ZIP files, dozens of GB in size, into the temp folder.
The application server tries to delete these files but fails to do so, and they remain pending, eventually filling up the disk of the machine and causing the application server to crash.
When we restart the application server, the files get deleted.
Do you know why this is happening?
How are temp files managed?
How can we resolve this issue?

Thank you,
Francesco

Duplicate Tag Exception while using Publications for content update

2025-05-22T16:09:05Z

Our Liferay DXP environment, originally migrated from version 6.2 to DXP 7.1 five years ago and then to DXP 7.3, is experiencing publication failures. We're transitioning from a Staging-Live setup to Publications to mitigate issues with the staging infrastructure and network during remote publishing.

However, when publishing web content with assigned tags, the process fails, returning the error: "An unexpected error occurred with the publication process. Please check your portal and publishing configuration. The Tag tagname could not be imported because of the following error: A tag with the name <<tagname>> (duplicate) already exists."

Liferay support suggested adding staging.merge.tags.by.name=true to portal-ext.properties. While this resolves the issue for new content and updates to existing content, it doesn't work for older content that already has tags assigned.

Has anyone encountered a similar problem or have any suggestions?

layout.friendly.url.page.not.found not working on liferay 7.3.7

2025-05-16T16:30:30Z

I am using liferay 7.3.7 and have problem to redirect to custom 404 error page

This is my page configuration

and it is available on http://localhost/portal/web/taxportal/error-page

in portal-ext,properties I add this line

layout.friendly.url.page.not.found=/web/taxportal/error-page

But still getting this error page when try to open page which not exists

What I noticed is that if I put in portal-ext,properties not existing url

layout.friendly.url.page.not.found=/web/taxportal/ error

I found this in log

2025-05-16 16:07:42.307 WARN [http-nio-8080-exec-4][code_jsp:161] {code="500", msg="", uri=/portal/web/taxportal/e-hh}

It seems that portal load this property but still does not show correct page.

RE: Is the latest released Portal Docker image vulnerable to CVE-2025-24813?

2025-04-23T10:14:39Z

Liferay is not vulnerable with its bundle/docker image default configuration( Liferay and CVE-2025-24813 ). Also, the Tomcat version will be updated the future.

You can create a temporary container if you want to verify the specific Tomcat version of a tag:

docker run -it -entrypoint /bin/bash --name test liferay/portal:7.4.3.132-ga132

$ java -cp /opt/liferay/tomcat/lib/catalina.jar org.apache.catalina.util.ServerInfo
Server version: Apache Tomcat/9.0.98

RE: RE: How to deactivate/modify automatic canonical url generator in liferay 7.3?

2025-04-18T15:54:17Z

I found the solution by adding a hook.

The auto Url generation cannot be deactivated. instead i have used a hook to override the service that is building this url patterns in page source.

We have to override the service

LayoutSEOLinkManagerImpl

using a hook.

deploy the hook and then we have to blacklist the original component from System settings -> Module container -> Component blacklist

Is it possible to hide untranslated content?

2025-04-09T17:46:53Z

Currently, I have a page with multiple fragments, where some contents are translated and some are not.
For those contents without translation, it is currently showing the default language version.

May I know if it is possible to hide all untranslated content instead of showing default language?

Thanks

How to Automate Virtual Instance Creation in Liferay

2025-04-09T17:41:08Z

My requirements involve multi-tenancy, where each Virtual Instance should be created automatically via an API call or similar.

Is there actually a way to do that in Liferay? I haven't found it in the documentation. The documentation indicates that we can create a virtual instance via a form by navigating to:

Go to Control Panel → Configuration → Virtual Instances
and through "Creating Virtual Instances with Configuration Files".

However, there is no resource explaining how to do this programmatically via an API. Is there an existing REST API to achieve this, or would it involve using a special type of client extension? Alternatively, should I create a custom REST API to handle this requirement?

Any suggestion is welcome.

How To configure email templates with workflow for sending the mails.

Using objects within a custom fragment using a collection configuration

2025-04-09T17:39:41Z

I'm wondering if you're able to offer some advice on using objects within a custom fragment?

I'm trying to retrieve information about an object that is being listed within a collection.

I've setup the configuration for this in the fragment that allows editors to select a collection. I've then referenced this within the HTML so that I can print out the collection they've selected like the below:

[#if collectionObjectList??]

[#list collectionObjectList as item]
<p>${item}</p>
[/#list]

[/#if]

What I want to do is access the object values, i.e "Name", "URL", "Campaign code".

Is there a way for me to access this easily or do i need to access the object another way?

How to disable the file upload feature in Liferay 6.2

2025-04-03T16:48:00Z

I am using Liferay 6.2.
My feedback page has a file upload feature.
I don't want to receive any attachments; I just want users to submit their feedback without uploading files.
Users can submit feedback without logging in, but they are still able to upload files to the server. How can I disable this feature?

Implement department specific translations for one language

2025-03-28T15:42:22Z

Hi all,

is there an out of the box or other known solution for the following:

Within the same language we have different departments that use different terminology for the same things and are asking for the portal to mirror this.

Thus, if a person from a certain department is logged in, they might want to see their the "My orders" page titles as "My requests" or something like that.

Does anyone have an idea?

Thanks!

Is the latest released Portal Docker image vulnerable to CVE-2025-24813?

2025-03-26T15:35:59Z

Hey everyone,

I am currently running the Liferay Portal image locally for a PoC but since patching would be an issue in a production environment I am curious about the support structure here.

Does anyone know if the latest released Docker image (https://hub.docker.com/r/liferay/portal/tags) is vulnerable to CVE-2025-24813?

And if so, is there any pattern to how new Docker images with patches are published? Like how many weeks does it usually take etc.?

Or is there any sort of workaround where one could override the tomcat version in some way?

Thanks!

RollingFileAppender based on file size or time in Liferay 7.4

2025-03-25T06:49:32Z

Hi Team,

Has anyone successfully implemented a `RollingFileAppender` based on file size or time in Liferay 7.4?

I created a `portal-log4j-ext.xml` file inside `META-INF` and added a `SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy` as shown below:

---portal-log4j-ext.xml---
<Configuration strict="true">
<Appenders>
<RollingFile name="RollingFileAppender"
fileName="@liferay.home@/logs/backup/portal.log"
filePattern="@liferay.home@/logs/backup/portal-%d{yyyy-MM-dd}-%i.log.gz">
<PatternLayout pattern="%d{yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.SSS} %-5p [%t] %c{1} - %m%n"/>
<Policies>
<SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="10KB"/>
</Policies>
<DefaultRolloverStrategy max="10"/>
</RollingFile>
</Appenders>
<Loggers>
<Root level="INFO">
<AppenderRef ref="RollingFileAppender"/>
</Root>
</Loggers>
</Configuration>

However, it's still not working as expected. Could you please share any reference links or guidance on how to properly configure this?

Thanks in advance!

RE: Unable to remove portlet after adding in any page in Liferay 7.4 Update 57

2025-03-26T15:26:56Z

Thank you for your help.

I did modify the styles and unstyles theme version, but unfortunately, I still have the same problem. Il also tried with the latest version.

I even tried with a brand new theme and still having the exact same problem.

I think the solution might be in this article :

https://help.liferay.com/hc/en-us/articles/12946482994317-Widgets-don-t-have-all-configuration-options-when-using-a-custom-theme

In the mean time, as a workaround, I switch to the classic theme to remove portlets.
