When working with a cluster you pretty quickly come to a point where you want/need to know what cluster node you're on. Liferay already has a simple way to show you this. You just need to add the following line to your portal-ext.properties and hey presto! it shows the current web server node ID in a blue box at the bottom of the page: web.server.display.node=true ...

I recently started working on integrating Liferay with ElasticSearch + Logstash + Kibana, also known as ELK Stack. Every Liferay developer knows very well where to search for logs and what they exactly mean, but very few had time to look closer at the mechanism as a whole. Therefore, I decided that the first step will be to analyze current logging...

Far far away, behind the word mountains, far from the countries Vokalia and Consonantia, there live the blind texts. Separated they live in Bookmarksgrove right at the coast of the Semantics, a large language ocean. A small river named Duden flows by their place and supplies it with the necessary regelialia. It is a paradisematic country, in which roasted parts of sentences fly into...

I would like to start saying that this entry is focused on designers and front-ends but I think that it would be useful for all people who wants to know what is the real advantage to applying Atomic design. Part of this entry is about Liferay themes, so I have to say that for me there are three approaches to turn visual designs in a Liferay theme: Close to bootstrap...

Okay, that is a mouthful. To rephrase my compound title, we'll be talking about an approach that  uses search to update a content item that follows a structure tailored to a template that renders a megamenu. There! Thats the flow in a nutshell. If that already has the gears turning in your head, then you're welcome. Ta-ta! But if you need more,...

If, like me, you work on a non-Windows machine, an Apple MacBook Pro in my case with OSX, you are probably used to having TAB completion in your terminal. I've caught myself multiple times lately using TAB when working with the Liferay patching tool and then just getting a file listing instead if the list of possible commands. This is of course normal as the patching tool isn't a...

In Vaadin 7.2, server push support was introduced but only for servlet deployments. The initial plan was to add support for portlets "right after that release". That's not exactly what happened but for the upcoming Vaadin 7.6, there has been some changes which makes it easier to support push in a portal environment. The portal challenge Portals bring some extra challenges for...

Just few words to explain how to customize the behaviour when the Liferay Session expires (no hook :) ).   This javascript will extends the expire function of the Liferay.Session javascript object. It makes the default behaviour and then disables all the links and the buttons on the page and then adds a refresh link in the pink header of the expired...

Isn't this Favicon Thing a Simple Problem to Solve? Not anymore. That's especially true, if you are picky. Do you really want a generic letter as your users' bookmarked icon on their mobile devices? Are your logs filling up with WARN messages that various devices can't find the optimal icon they are seeking? Well, each one may represent a lost opportunity to expand your brand...

I really love how everyone at Liferay is taking to the OSGi development model. It makes me proud to see how much work has been done in this regard. There's one very cool area I think is worth expanding on. Requirements and Capabilities What is it? Some history. The Requirements and Capabilities model is a surprisingly powerful concept born from the 17 years of experience...
