I am pleased to announce the release of:  Liferay Portal 7.0 CE GA3!  [Download Now] What's New Overriding LPKG Files: A while back I wrote a blog entry on patching OSGi modules. The original process wasn't very elegant because it involved altering the out of the box .lpkg files. GA3 now includes a way to override the out of the box modules without altering the...

I wanted to share some testing that I have been doing in terms of patching OSGi modules and adding the patched modules to your own Liferay installations.  One of the many benefits to modularity is that it allows for these kinds of changes to be made without having to recompile the whole platform from scratch. Update: This procedure has been updated to make use of a new...

And when it does, you want to make sure you’re prepared to do one of the most important things a person can do while in Chicago. Eat. What follows is a list of Chicago’s must-eats. You...

Last month, I attended BizBash LA for the second time (you can see my 2015 recap here). I had a great time hearing from industry leaders and meeting fellow event professionals. It’s one of the few times I get to enjoy events from the attendees’ perspective, and it was reaffirming to realize that as planners, we all encounter unpredictable issues at our events, no matter how much...

Every 30 seconds, someone becomes a victim of human trafficking. It’s a sad reality, and here are some common myths and misconceptions about this crime: “Human trafficking victims always come from situations of poverty or from small rural villages.”  Reality: Although poverty can be a factor in human trafficking because it is often an indicator of vulnerability, poverty alone...

For my very first EVP trip, my family and I had to opportunity to shadow the day-to-day operations of Solidarity Brasil and ABBA. These organizations share many of the same core values as Liferay to care for children in their city, São Paulo, Brazil. What I did varied from manual labor for a house that will be used as an aftercare center for underage girls victimized by...

Today I’m writing to announce that we are discontinuing support for Liferay Connected Services and Audience Targeting for Liferay Portal 7 Community. The main factor behind the decision was the lack of community adoption for both offerings.    Regarding Audience Targeting, there was low adoption by community members compared with most other...

There's been some confusion over state of Maven support for Liferay. As the Product Manager for Developer Tools, I feel responsible for the confusion and felt the need to clear up any questions. Will Liferay support Maven development for 6.1, 6.2, and 7.0? Short answer, yes, most definitely! In 6.1 and 6.2, we’ve been provided support through liferay-maven-support plugin....

If you have been in touch with the Liferay community in the past years, you've probably heard about Senna.js before. We first introduced this project in late 2014 and since then we've been anxiously waiting for Liferay 7 and DXP to be released so we could talk more about it. Now it's a good time to see what this project brings to the table. Ok, so what is Senna.js? ...

业内知名门户（Portal）软件商Liferay已经将新产品重命名为DXP - 数字体验平台，剑指数字体验市场。   这种转变其实并不是Liferay特有的，它更像是一种自然演化。“传统portal中的功能，已无法满足当今客户的功能需求，在Liferay平台上我们需要持续开发和整合这些需求功能。所以基于这些转变，我们需要重定义我们在市场中的位置。”Liferay首席执行官，Bryan Cheung如是说。   Chueng说，当我们在观察分析自己的案例时候，发现我们已经朝着数字体验管理方向转变了。但是从某些角度看，Liferay却有着其他数字体验平台不具备的特性。   ...

Lately, we’ve being working on an event tracking system for Liferay Screens. Nothing fancy: just another Flurry or Google Analytics for mobile apps. The best part is the information collected will be used to feed the Audience Targeting Rules Engine, so you’ll be able to segment your users based on their behaviour on your mobile apps.   ...

Liferay DDLs are quite useful for dealing with small sets of custom data, for which it would be overkill to create a new service. Our event microsites use DDLs extensively for displaying speaker, agenda and sponsor information. Through the the Skinny JSON Provider, our DDL data information is even served via JSON-WS for use in the Liferay Events App. How cool! DDL templates...
