What a coincidence (or maybe not...) that Doc and Marty landed in the future on October 21, 2015, the date of the Liferay Spain Symposium. Maybe we didn’t see any overboards or self-tying shoes, but this event was indeed a window to the future of Web Experience. With Liferay 7 just around the corner, it was the best chance to learn about all its new features first hand from...

Liferay Developer Conference and Unconference 2015 were simply great. Lots of sessions, games and chances to meet some of the most active Liferay developers. It was also very exciting and encouraging to register the attention that Audience Targeting has drawn among developers in just one year. Both the session and the workshop led by Julio, Pavel and me were packed and we...

Let me introduce two simple and fun components from among our recently released Liferay Faces Alloy tags, alloy:selectStarRating and alloy:selectThumbRating.  Following the example set by our friends on the AlloyUI team, we packaged their rating component as a JSF component. AlloyUI StarRating + JSF ➔ Liferay Faces alloy:selectStarRating   And similarly, for a boolean...

At Liferay, we're always trying to make the life of developers easier. We're constantly improving our products and releasing new open source libraries. Helping people is what drives us. Last week we presented the Launchpad Project for the first time at Devcon. This is an initiative that we have been working for months and not many people had access to. Now, we're finally...

I'm slowly back to my regular sleep rhythm, after the highly anticipated sleep deprivation week that Devcon always is. Those ~450 participants that were there and made it the biggest and greatest Devcon so far will have seen that Liferay becomes a lot more serious in terms of messaging while still staying accessible on all levels. I've seen lots of connections being made and can...

That's a question we get often when we tell people what we do. Answers can range anywhere from a quick pitch like "a tool that allows people to build their websites" to something more specific like "a framework for integrating information, people and processes across organizational boundaries." (Thanks, Wikipedia) Though true, those answers don't always address the...

Liferay comes with so many features that it's hard to judge when a feature is a good solution for a given problem. I'd like to shine some light onto some of these features and common misconceptions about them because it's easy to abuse them for purposes for which they're not well suited - despite making the impression they might.

Liferay Developer Conference (aka DEVCON) is a great chance for us to meet Liferay developers from all around the world every year. As for the last months we’ve been working on the new version of Audience Targeting, Julio and I very willingly proposed a talk about its new features and how to use them to integrate your apps with it.    But...

Do you remember the article that I wrote in March? It talked about Liferay's limitation to have each overloaded JSP only customizable from one hook. The limitation was not enforced, so deploying multiple hooks that overload the same JSP lead to undefined behaviour, potentially deleting the original JSP. CC BY 2.0 by David GoehringLuckily that has been fixed (currently in EE only,...

Multi-Module Projects Developers that are familiar with the version scheme of the Spring Framework will notice that each module has the same version number. For example: spring-beans-4.2.1.RELEASE.jar spring-context-4.2.1.RELEASE.jar spring-core-4.2.1.RELEASE.jar ... etc ... This is because the Spring Framework is configured as a multi-module...

  In vrijwel alle gesprekken die ik met klanten en prospects voer wordt de vraag gesteld ‘integreert Liferay met Salesforce’. Mijn wedervraag is dan, wat wil je precies integreren? Niet zelden wordt het dan toch wat stil, de vraag over integratie is eenvoudigweg veel te algemeen. Salesforce is een ‘monster’, het systeem bevat heel veel klantinformatie. Het gaat erom wat...
