Liferay is busy working on updating the Node version used by the Gradle plugins in the Gradle Workspace from Node 16.13.0 (or 16.15.1 depending upon where you look) to Node 20.12.2. I'm told that this update is only supposed to apply to new versions of Liferay greater than GA117 and U117 (which means the upcoming 2024.Q2 release and later). I'm also told that it only...
Introduction I was recently asked whether it is possible to migrate from HCL DX™ to Liferay DXP. I think the expected response was "no", because they seemed shocked when I said it was possible. Let's ride along with Mr. Peabody and Sherman in the Wayback Machine to review some history and understand why migration is possible... Set the Wayback Machine for...
Introduction In my recent blog, Introduction to Liferay Objects, I used Objects and Liferay OOTB facilities to have a list of Course Registrations and UI interfaces for submitting a new Course Registration, listing them, and for admin users the ability to approve or deny them. It worked well, but it didn't handle maybe some expected requirements. For example, the...
Introduction So I've been working on my Objects Rule! series and have been working on an app I plan on showing off soon, but I realized that there is probably a gap explaining, well, how do you get started? I mean, it's one thing to go and check the client extensions sample repo here: https://github.com/liferay/liferay-portal/tree/master/workspaces/liferay-sample-workspace,...
Introduction I recently advocated for the demise of the specialized Liferay IDEs/IDE Plugins. Advocating for them to be decommissioned is one thing, but sharing how you can live without them can be another thing... So I thought I'd blog about how you can use a vanilla, off the shelf version of Eclipse/Intellij along with Blade & Gradle to accomplish similar...
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...
Hey, so in my blog last week, I indicated that I had the following in my portal-ext.properties file: session.timeout=15 session.timeout.auto.extend=true session.timeout.warning=0 session.timeout.auto.extend.offset=300 As I was writing the blog and flipping back and forth from the post to the browser where I was building stuff, some times I was still being logged out. ...
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 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...
In case you missed it, Liferay has announced the deprecation of Websphere for Liferay DXP 7.4. The official announcement was made here: https://support.liferay.com/release-notes/2023-q4, scroll down near the bottom to the Feature Status Change section or just search the page for WebSphere and you'll find the reference. Additionally, there's a note on the 7.4 Compatibility...
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 GitLab is a web-based DevOps lifecycle tool that provides a Git repository manager, continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery (CD), and a range of collaboration and project management features. It is used to manage the software development process, facilitating collaboration among team members, version control with Git, and automated build and deployment...
What an exciting time to be working in the technology field! We have so many great tools available to us that can benefit everyone. Generative AI (GenAI) is a perfect example of an amazing set of tools that is quickly gaining traction. I have to share my excitement about GenAI since the ways it can be used seem to be limitless! You might think that integrating GenAI...

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...

Specifically, it facilitates the streamlined process of creating users directly from Excel files, eliminating the need for manual data entry and providing a more efficient and automated approach to...
