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...

Service Builder is the way how developers are often encouraged to do DB connectivity with Liferay portlets. It is, though, by no means the one and only way how one can connect to databases from Liferay portlets. In many real world use cases, it is better to use standard JPA for ORM and access a DB that is separate from the DB used by Liferay for its internal stuff (such as user/role...

   Wow, 50 episodes already. At this year's Devcon I spoke with Jens Bruhn. He's Software Architect at Prodyna AG, a Liferay Partner and the author of Nabucco Script Center, a Liferay App available on the Marketplace. He also convened the "Pimp my Scripting Engine" workshop at Liferay's Devcon 2015, which I missed. But this only provided a perfect reason and excuse to speak...

It's very convient to use <liferay-ui:input-date> tag to create a date field. But this just provide very basic use of aui date picker. And attributes doesn't cover all options of date picker. This makes me have to create my own aui date picker through javascript. But using <liferay-ui:input-date> can save me a lot of time. So I am going to introduce a practical way to...

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...

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...

Vaadin portlets initialise using JS and XHRs, typically a couple of milliseconds later than basic html markup based portlets. This approach may cause “flickering”, which may be a bit disturbing if there is other content below the Vaadin portlet, because the browser needs to re-flow the whole page after the Vaadin UI has decided how much space it actually needs in vertical direction. ...

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...

Earlier this month Liferay held it's 3rd annual developer conference in Darmstadt, and I was grateful to be able to attend and see old friends, meet new ones, share some of my experiences, and learn a lot from the experts in attendance. We're all stuck behind keyboards and monitors, mobiles and tablets, so it is also nice to get some facetime with those I interact with virtually...

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...

At Liferay, we're always trying to make the life of developers easier. We're constantly improving our products and releasing new open source libraries. Helping people is what drives us. Last week we presented the Launchpad Project for the first time at Devcon. This is an initiative that we have been working for months and not many people had access to. Now, we're finally...

I'm slowly back to my regular sleep rhythm, after the highly anticipated sleep deprivation week that Devcon always is. Those ~450 participants that were there and made it the biggest and greatest Devcon so far will have seen that Liferay becomes a lot more serious in terms of messaging while still staying accessible on all levels. I've seen lots of connections being made and can...

So I'm here late one night and I'm wondering why Liferay is hosting profile pics... I mean, in this day and age we all have accounts all over the place and many of those places also support profile pics/avatars.  In each of these sites when we create accounts we go and pull our standard avatar pic in and move on. Recently, however, I was working with a site that used an...
