  Another first: This week's guest Máté Thurzó presents a brief 37000ft overview over Staging. Yes, this is literally 37000ft - we both were lucky to be invited to the North America Symposium 2014 and had the same flight back. Yes, this episode has been recorded 11277m over the atlantic ocean on the flight from Boston to Frankfurt, and it's also a first time that you see me use...

This post is written for those of you who have not yet upgraded to 6.2 (for whatever reason) but still want to give specific content to specific users.

You probably know the basic installation instructions for Liferay Bundles: „unzip and run startup.sh“ - with this you get to a working Liferay installation in a minute. It will run with all defaults - which might not be what you want in production. This is part 4 of a series. Start with part 1 for "Introduction, Basics and Operating System Level", continue with part 2, "Liferay's...

Sometimes you have to add an autocomplete module on your page to search contacts or other datas. If you want to use the very good Typeahead plugin in Liferay to have search suggestions in Ajax the solution is here. The ajax calls a resourceMapping on the controller to get the contacts in JSON format. In this resourceMapping function you can call whatever you want (Liferay service,...

This is a solution to develop a portlet with a lazy loading mode. It is useful when you have a lot of portlets in your page and you don`t want to increase the loading time of the page. An interesting point is to save if the user closed or opened the portlet. Like that the next time he comes on the page the portlet will be open or close. The following example doesn't load the...

I'd like to spend some time to present a portlet that we recently published on the Marketplace: ETL process manager. I'm sure that not everyone knows what an ETL tool is and how poweful this can be when combined with Liferay. ETL stands for "Extract, Transform and Load". ETL tools are extremely useful when you need to manipulate data: extract, import, export, clean, etc.  ...

This question seems to be important as we consume more billboards, commercials and Internet ads. To successfully target your audience, companies are now challenged to deliver a meaningful message that appeals to user background and demographic. ...

Over the last few weeks I've been trying to figure out a way to make navigation's dropdown menus display on click instead of hover. I added this code to the theme's main.js file. AUI.add( 'liferay-navigation-interaction-click', function(A) { A.mix( Liferay.NavigationInteraction.prototype, { _initChildMenuHandlers: function(navigation) { var instance =...

Then it happened again. I felt like a few times a felt before. That moment of symbiosis named "learn". I've got into the "flow" of Csikszentmihaly. (It requires a few minutes of practice just to ignore the characters and pronounce it correctly: cheek-sent-m-hy-ee. Really simple for our hungarian fellows, though). Last October 23th and 24th some coworkers, teachers and...

While this is great for a quick demo, you might want to do more in case of production setups. This is a part 1 of summary of a workshop held at Liferay's North America Symposium 2014 in Boston. Like in the...
