C Fraser 12 Days Ago - Edited Hi, I took your advice and had a good look around MasterClass. I noticed that MasterClass implemented its blog using WebContent rather than the built in Blog functionality of Liferay... since I am looking at creating a Blog soon, I am wondering on the rationale behind this decision? Is the Blog implementation going out of favour? Thanks for the article, and thanks for any reply :-) Please sign in to reply. Reply as... Cancel David H Nebinger C Fraser 7 Days Ago - Edited Basically it comes down to localization. The Liferay Blog portlet is not localizable. When you think about it, it kind of makes sense in certain situations. For example, I write a lot of blogs, but I'm not equipped to localize them into other locales. However, if I were in charge of creating blogs that, shall we say are more marketing or sales oriented, I (or Liferay) might be motivated to localize those so they can appeal to users in their own languages. Hence the use of web content by masterclass; it's basically set up to do the same kind of thing, to ensure the blog content can be localized to serve larger audiences. Please sign in to reply.

I have also since found a possible other reason… when creating a blog entry, at least with the default editor (maybe the editor can be changed/overridden somewhere?), Liferay resizes the blog image to be a very wide landscape proportion which makes it a bit more challenging to lay out a template with say a 4:3 ratio image… I am heading towards the Masterclass way of doing things for this reason too. (Unless there is another way to get the images into the blog without resizing.) Please sign in to reply. Reply as... Cancel
