Recently I started a new "Office Hours" session to occur every other Tuesday at 9am EST/10am EDT (14:00 UTC) and 4pm EST/5pm EDT (21:00 UTC) on a Zoom bridge. Here you can bring questions, ideas, or whatever. Heck, feel free to join and just talk about your Liferay projects if you want. I'll post the Zoom meeting bridge to the Liferay Community Slack, feel free to sign...

Nuestra comunidad cumple otro año más, y llegamos a los cuatro. En estos momentos son en los que echamos la vista atrás para ver el camino que hemos recorrido y que nos anima a mirar para adelante con ilusión para continuar con este proyecto. Aunque parecía que este año íbamos a continuar como habíamos dejado el pasado 2020, lo cierto es que con lo que respecta a Liferay y la comunidad ha...

While Liferay has many wonderful features like DRAC, a docs repository, user self registration, and more, I still would like to store my data for custom portlets/applications in an external database. It’s like, you know, data independence! I found David H Nebinger’s blog for Liferay 7, Service Builder and External Databases. I struggled with a few issues, and I updated some things over Dave’s...

Esta entrada de blog está también disponible en español It is increasingly common to deploy applications or microservices in a container-based infrastructure, such as Kubernetes or Openshift. Liferay Portal / DXP is not far behind in this regard and thanks to the fact that it is a totally agnostic platform to the underlying infrastructure, it is possible to implement it in this type of...

Blade is one of the great Liferay development tools. This is true, unless it stops working! Or, maybe you ran the blade installer and the error came up and you now wonder what to do now?! Punt? Watch a spaghetti western? That’s what this blog is about, resolving issue(s) with blade, two issues that have occurred on Windows for me using blade. Blade Error Failed to find Java VM Liferay...

Liferay Portal/DXP no se queda atrás en este aspecto y gracias a que es una plataforma totalmente agnóstica a la infraestructura subyacente, es posible su implementación en este tipo de...

I had a bit of a hiccup when running my demo during /dev/24 so I ran through my presentation again.   Here is the recording as promised: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1h3WqERQr4VHphOlzUYdSAxgKcCoWCnX-/view?usp=sharing Feel free to ask questions below. Thanks, Dave

  At the time of this writing, the Maven archetype for a JSF portlet with CDI enabled generates output that can only be built using Maven in order to enable CDI. This currently works with Liferay Portal 7.3 and not 7.4. With a few tweaks, you can make your JSF portlet use your Gradle build system. Initially, you will use Maven to generate the code and while it does put int a build.gradle,...

Introduction In a recent blog I explained how to create a React-based portlet within your Liferay Gradle Workspace by using the js-widget Blade template which in turn uses the Yeoman Liferay JS Generator to create the project. (Wow, that was a mouthful ;-) ) In this way, you can have your Liferay Gradle Workspace take care of building your complete suite of Liferay modules, the...

Esta entrada de blog  está también disponible en español. One of the star features of the Kubernetes world is, without a doubt, the Horizontal Pod Autoscaling. With it, we can benefit from a superior performance capacity of our service at specific moments, where the original dimensioning of our cluster may not be sufficient, avoiding degradation or even loss of service. Kubernetes...

Overview For the many years Liferay theme was the only way for defining the portal appearance. Usually, when a new project started (or customer requested a new site with a brand new design) - development  began with a new theme creation. With themes it's possible to define the overall styling and the basic page structure. Also, we can define the configuration options with...

Instead of writing a full article here, let me just point you to an article about /dev/24 on our company blog. You'll find a lot more interesting articles there. In general, they're less technical than the ones you find here. Still worth reading, especially​​​​​​​ when you're starting with this one about the upcoming /dev/24 event.

In case you're working on multiple Liferay servers, like I frequently do, you might have seen this problem, and fell for it: In the backend, namely Control Panel and Site Administration, they all look the same. Rarely do I see anybody working on a new "Admin Theme" for those places. I've had enough of trying to decipher the URL and host name, and decided to do something about it, that doesn't...
