Introduction In a recent blog I explained how to create a React-based portlet within your Liferay Gradle Workspace by using the js-widget Blade template which in turn uses the Yeoman Liferay JS Generator to create the project. (Wow, that was a mouthful ;-) ) In this way, you can have your Liferay Gradle Workspace take care of building your complete suite of Liferay modules, the...

Overview For the many years Liferay theme was the only way for defining the portal appearance. Usually, when a new project started (or customer requested a new site with a brand new design) - development  began with a new theme creation. With themes it's possible to define the overall styling and the basic page structure. Also, we can define the configuration options with...

Instead of writing a full article here, let me just point you to an article about /dev/24 on our company blog. You'll find a lot more interesting articles there. In general, they're less technical than the ones you find here. Still worth reading, especially​​​​​​​ when you're starting with this one about the upcoming /dev/24 event.

In case you're working on multiple Liferay servers, like I frequently do, you might have seen this problem, and fell for it: In the backend, namely Control Panel and Site Administration, they all look the same. Rarely do I see anybody working on a new "Admin Theme" for those places. I've had enough of trying to decipher the URL and host name, and decided to do something about it, that doesn't...

Introduction So when you start building your own fragments and using them on your content pages, you will often times run into an issue with propagation... So I like to create fragments for headers and footers and then use those fragments on every page that I build. But when I update those fragments, I have to go into the usages panel to do the propagation so they all get updated. If you...

Created in the middle of the Covid Pandemic in 2020, /dev/24 has come to stay { yeaaahh!! :clapping: }  Following the big success of the 24-hour-non-stop event last year...  We will do it again until:   For those of you who missed /dev/24 last year, or are not sure and asking yourself: “What is this event?”. Let me give you a quick overview: This is not a company event,...

Overview   Search is one of the fundamental Liferay features, which provides users with the possibility to quickly find the content they look for. It’s powerful, pretty much configurable, and flexible.  However, during implementation of the latest project for our client we run into a bunch of issues. Some of them were Liferay bugs or missing functionality, other ones - configuration...

In the ancient past, Liferay had a feature to discover individual portlet's rendering times. It looks like this got lost with the move to OSGi -  but it's also reasonably simple to replace. Especially when it's for portlets only (fragments are still on the to-do list) Some portlets take longer than others. While that's ok - they typically provide more value and dynamic content - you might...

Overview While working on an intranet with on of our clients in the APAC region, we discovered that private pages are not indexed correctly, thus having issues when searching content. Product team is already aware of this and have already logged a ticket here. While adding features to Liferay is all good and well, we don't have the time to wait for the product team, and thus this...

In a native React application, it is common that you have the CSS separated by components like I said here, actually maybe you want to use a separate SCSS to take advantage from SASS. So to do it in a Liferay React Application, we need to do some configurations.  Why?  We are working a Structure of OSGi Bundles Containing NPM Packages wrapper by Portlet Component, for this reason,...
