So if you've been monitoring your logs, it is quite possible you're seeing NoSuchLayoutExceptions related to browserconfig.xml. If you are seeing them, it's because your users are running IE 11 and they've just opted to "Pin To Start" for your site (a good thing, I guess). So what's going on? Well, IE11 has this new feature where it can add your site as a tile in the Windows 8...

So recently I got to hang out with board members and officers of the OSGi Alliance, including Liferay's own Ray Auge. A great bunch of folks these guys are; they were easy to talk to and really wanted to help out. Can't wait to do it again, but that's a different story... At one point we were talking about versioning and I was explaining how I version my bundles, but I don't really...

So just a quick post here about your Liferay build chain... It is easy, when you're starting out, to follow the instructions to install the Blade CLI or the Maven artifacts. It is also easy, even after you've been developing for awhile, to "blade init" a new project or "mvn archetype:generate" a new project and write your next great software masterpiece. And while you may know...

Introduction So I'm not sure if you've had the chance to play around with the new Target Platform stuff that Liferay has, but it is really cool. If you haven't read about it or don't know what it is for, let me just summarize quickly: You declare a "dependency" on a Liferay-shipped BOM file, the "bill of materials" file for a project that lists all of the dependencies and...

Liferay has a complete built-in scheduled job service which manages jobs that run on every node as well as single jobs that run in a cluster. Unfortunately there hasn't been a way to gain visibility on those scheduled jobs to see what they are, when they were scheduled, when they have run before and when they will run again. Until today. Now available is the Scheduled Tasks...

Delivering a great digital experience is not as easy as it once was. Today, a single web or mobile transaction, such as purchasing a product or registering with an application, crosses an average of 35 different technology systems or components, compared to 22 only five years ago. To compound the problem, businesses need to be conscious of the importance of a multichannel...

The price for TripWire CE and TripWire DXP have been significantly reduced by 90%! TripWire is a control panel that compares each node in a cluster against a baseline. Any time there is a configuration or other change, the administrator will be notified that the cluster is in an inconsistent state and provide details about the inconsistency. This tool can help ensure each node...

UPDATE: The previous version of this blog implied modifying the portal-impl.jar, but as my friend Jorge Díaz pointed out in the comments: "In order to override a resource of portal-impl.jar, it is not necessary to modify the jar file, just create all folder structure inside ROOT/WEB-INF/classes folder. Any file included in that folder will be read before than the original one of...

So whenever I set up a new Liferay cluster, I get to the end and I ask myself, "How do I know it is working?" My standard test is to connect to a node of the cluster and view a page. Then I connect to another node and change the content the first node is displaying. If I refresh the first node, I know it is working if that node shows the updated content instead of the old content....
