I'm very happy to announce the release of Liferay Portal 6.2 CE GA5! Download it now: [Tomcat Bundle] [JBoss Bundle] [GlassFish Bundle] [Source Code] [Other bundles and Files] [Quick Start] [Detailed Install Instructions]. Once again, this release is particularly noteworthy. Why is that? It's most likely the final release of 6.2 CE as we are quickly approaching the next major...

  I met repeat guest Nate Cavanaugh, Liferay's Director of UI Engineering, at this year's Devcon and he answered all UI-based questions that we could quickly think about - specifically with regards to Liferay 7. As we recorded this on site at Devcon, you'll hear more background noise than usual - Auphonic did their best to clean the recording, and they did a great job. ...

Here we are again, following our bi-weekly releases plan with our third alpha release. We are still working hard to reach beta status as soon as possible and I would like to use this opportunity to explain what our criteria is and how our focus on high quality is driving this release more than ever. But before that, let me brag a bit about our hard work during these past two...

By now, we've heard of the necessity of creating a good experience for our mobile viewers. Yet, we're not always quite sure where to start or what factors should be considered in the process.  As a result, we're creating a three-part series that will address some of these major aspects. These posts will provide some high-level concepts along with practical tips that will help...

You may recall back in February 2014 I published a FreeMarker script that would dump variables from WCM and ADT Templates in Liferay 6.2. Well, it's back, this time for Liferay 7! I tweaked it a bit to show the hierarchy of the request object a bit better and added a recursion depth variable to control how deep down the rabbit hole you go (if you are feeling a bit cold during winter,...

  A continuation of last week's episode, Milen Dyankov stepped in as a co-host and helped me ask the right questions: Ray Augé answers all sorts of questions about the Modularization in Liferay 7 and what to do with your existing investment in Liferay Plugins - what to do with the plugins you already have, where you will have to re-learn and what you can, should or shouldn't...

Hello, welcome to the Liferay North America Symposium Live Blog. If you've never followed one of these live blogs before, the content runs in reverse chronological order so that people following live can just refresh the page and see the latest on top. Also, there's a significant amount of quality technical content at Symposium but I don't think I can do justice if I tried to...

   Another Devcon "private" session - I missed his presentations, but got the summary right when he was done: Ray Augé took the time to answer all sorts of questions about the Modularization in Liferay 7. In fact, he answered so many questions that we made it a 2-episode recording. This week it's about the motivation for modularization: What problem does it solve? Next week...

Why do people go to the Liferay Symposium? This is a common question that has been asked countless times. Of course, if you ask someone at Liferay, our answers might be a little biased... But in our conversations with past attendees, we’ve discovered that the symposium has become a great arena for idea exchange and project insight. Some of our attendees are amazed to learn...

By now it's obvious that the effects of a poor mobile experience are both immediate and far-reaching for business. A frustrating and not-so-user-friendly mobile interaction with your site could mean loss of brand loyalty and potential business. How can you offer a mobile user-centric experience that will serve your customers both in the present and future? A responsive website is...

Recent verscheen een artikel in NRC met de veelzeggende kop “Gegijzeld door de softwareboer”. Hert artikel put uit een onderzoek van Reporter Radio en NRC. U weet het misschien niet maar bijna alle Nederlandse gemeenten gebruiken ICT Systemen van twee bedrijven: Centric en Pink Roccade. Het artikel schetst de ervaring van de gemeenten met deze leveranciers, de klant is er niet bepaald...

  We continue our path towards releasing Liferay 7 with a new alpha release that focuses on fixing bugs and small improvements. This release fixes 254 bugs since Alpha 1 and adds +100 small improvements. During this time we have also had the opportunity to present Liferay 7 twice: first in Germany during DevCon and later in Spain during the Spain Symposium. We are super...

What a coincidence (or maybe not...) that Doc and Marty landed in the future on October 21, 2015, the date of the Liferay Spain Symposium. Maybe we didn’t see any overboards or self-tying shoes, but this event was indeed a window to the future of Web Experience. With Liferay 7 just around the corner, it was the best chance to learn about all its new features first hand from...

Liferay Developer Conference and Unconference 2015 were simply great. Lots of sessions, games and chances to meet some of the most active Liferay developers. It was also very exciting and encouraging to register the attention that Audience Targeting has drawn among developers in just one year. Both the session and the workshop led by Julio, Pavel and me were packed and we...

Let me introduce two simple and fun components from among our recently released Liferay Faces Alloy tags, alloy:selectStarRating and alloy:selectThumbRating.  Following the example set by our friends on the AlloyUI team, we packaged their rating component as a JSF component. AlloyUI StarRating + JSF ➔ Liferay Faces alloy:selectStarRating   And similarly, for a boolean...
