Introduction So we have a public repo we've been using to train developers on Liferay, but we're using HSQL. We did this on purpose because we couldn't guarantee that developers would have a common local database with necessary permissions to reset, overwrite, etc. For a lot of reasons, using HSQL made a lot of sense. Except for one - Liferay upgrades. You see,...

Introduction In most cases, if you’re going to be using Liferay’s Product capabilities you’re going to be importing product data from an external system such as a PIM, ERP, or even a legacy Commerce platform.  In some cases, this will be a one time data load, and in others, the remote system might continue to be the source of truth and Liferay’s catalog might receive product...

During the upgrade of custom OSGi modules, I encountered the update of the Clay taglib, which requires integration through JavaScript. This taglib introduces a new attribute called propsTransformer that calls external JavaScript files that need to be transpiled using Babel and the liferay-npm-bundler. I used the blogs module as a reference: <clay:management-toolbar ...

In my last blog, Creating a React Client Extension, I basically built a React-based SPA that was hosted on Liferay. And I got to thinking that we really aren't sharing just how great Liferay is to host Javascript-based SPAs in any framework, be it React, Angular, Vue.js or others. So I thought I'd take some time to share with Javascript developers some reasons why...

Java 8 was released to the world in March 2014. For the last decade, Liferay has been creating tools for users to build crafted, powerful solutions leveraging the Java 8 ecosystem. Even though we have also supported Java 11 runtime for the last 5+ years, our baseline for Portal/DXP’s development has remained on Java 8. However, the industry is moving on from Java 8.

Liferay's OOTB provides a great user interface that makes many complicated operations such as creating information templates so easy, but we still need to make good documentation on specific information templates as these templates can be used for web contents, products and objects. If we have more than one environment (DEV, UAT, PROD), we have to do this manual operation in each...
