The more refined staging along with Liferay Portal 6.2 has been out for a while and you might have read Mate Thurzo’s great blog entries about the topic, yet I think it is also worth the time to talk about a utility framework we developed together with but not only for staging! The Background Task framework allows the developers to create and manage any kind of tasks that need to...

Summer is almost here and for students around the world that means one thing, final exams.  For most of us, final exams are but a distant memory that we’re only too glad to be done with.  As agonizing as exams were, it felt great when they were finally over and you could focus on the summer ahead of you with a sense of accomplishment.  Here at Liferay, we want to...

In my experience working with Liferay projects, the most used component is Web Content, not only the Basic Web Content. A lot of times the customer needs to create a structure and a template to achieve his goal.

Apenas como exemplo, vamos criar uma estrutura com Titulo, SubTitulo e...
