I have to start with an apology. I'm publishing this blog early because parts are ready to go now but some parts are not yet ready. I felt it was too important to hold off waiting for the final parts to be ready before publishing... This will be a living blog post, it will get updates on it as soon as I hear something different, but in the mean time the content that is here is...

History of the Liferay IDEs I first started developing for Liferay version 4.2.3. Back then, we used what was called the "extension environment" to handle Liferay customization. This was an Ant-based environment with fairly complicated build scripts that was responsible for building the deployable Liferay. And we were building portlets per the portlet...

Introduction Wow, I've blogged about Liferay Objects a lot lately. Talked about them too. Also am working on developing materials for learn.liferay.com about Objects. But one thing I haven't seen is an introduction to objects suitable for long-time Liferay users or new Liferay users, so I thought I'd take time to write one (since my blog ideas well seems to be...

Introduction In a recent blog, Down with Web Contents, Long Live Objects! I shared how Objects and Fragments could be used in lieu of structured web contents. That's great if you don't already have structured web contents though. If you do have structured web contents, you likely also have Asset Publishers and are rendering your contents using FreeMarker templates. ...

Introduction Recently my friend and coworker Andrew Jardine and I were together in Rome for a Liferay Partner event where we were part of a round table discussion about all things Liferay. Even before the session, Andrew and I had already picked up our friendly argument about Staging (me) versus Publications (Andrew) and which one is better. For us it has always been...

Liferay released Liferay DXP 2024.Q1 this week, and in the corresponding release notes, you'll find the following nugget. Just search for "Java JDK 11 Runtime" to find in the notes, but here's the text for it: Support for Java JDK 11 is flagged for deprecation as of Q1.2024. As DXP continues to evolve as a platform to deliver powerful solutions, we are planning...

Introduction I was recently in a meeting reviewing some FreeMarker templates that were extracting web contents using a structure, parsing and processing the data, and rendering an output. Basically the implementation was kind of the classic or "legacy" way of doing specialized presentation of structured contents in Liferay. In this case they had a Carousel...

So this has come up a couple of times recently, so after some research I thought I'd share the news. In 7.4, built-in support for ClamAV has been removed, and Liferay has no current plans on restoring that functionality. If you have upgraded from a previous version and you were using ClamAV, you may not be aware that your antivirus scanning actually has not been happening as...

Introduction So I was recently working with a team that was completing an upgrade assessment for a client wanting to upgrade from 7.2 to 7.4. A big chunk of the work in upgrading the client was going to be taken upgrading the themes. The client had one primary theme which contained the common style rules, but they also had 8 "child" themes, based upon the primary,...

So just a quick one today about an issue that I helped a coworker with. A client had reported that after they restarted Liferay, they had to redeploy their custom module that had a replacement @Component for one of Liferay's components, otherwise the custom component would not work. I replied back, "Oh, they just need to blocklist the Liferay component so their custom...

Introduction So I kind of have a "famous" blog post on Liferay Scheduled Tasks: https://liferay.dev/blogs/-/blogs/liferay-7-ce-liferay-dxp-scheduled-tasks. I say "famous" because it has been used by many folks to create scheduled tasks for Liferay 7, but it has also been the source of some bugs (i.e. undeploying from a cluster could cancel a job ...

Introduction In today's Office Hours session, the first question out of the gate was "If I'm using OpenID Connect for SSO, how can I synchronize UserGroup membership?". And, well, I just didn't know, but I said that I'd find out and then write a blog post to share the details, figuring that others doing OIDC may face similar sorts of concerns. I thought that...

This article explains how to deploy npm packages bundled with webpack that export and import stuff through the standard ECMAScript modules feature. This is a sequel of the Moving from AMD to Browser modules in Liferay DXP blog post, so it’s recommended reading that if you haven’t done so already. Why use webpack with ES modules? The main goal of using webpack and ES...

Introduction Recently I was pulled into a client project that was created for Liferay 7.4 and they needed to share content, structures, templates, documents, etc with multiple sites. Then I found out that they had done this the old way using the Global Site, and I was like "No No No, we have to fix this, we have to use Asset Libraries!" And everyone just...
