IntroductionHistorically developers have always wanted to be able to control site creation.It's not that Liferay admins are untrusted or anything like that. It is really more the case where setting up a new site can get complicated and the steps to create the site could be quite long. A site may have initial documents, web contents (with structures and templates), pages to create and populate...

IntroductionLiferay has, for a long time, supported RBAC, the role-based access control. It is, of course, backed by the database so (inheritance aside for the moment) a user will be assigned a list of roles that is mostly fixed or unchanging. To change these role assignments, typically an admin is going to log into Liferay and, using the control panel, add or remove roles as necessary.This...

As much as I always disliked the need to restart a server after changing a value in portal-ext.properties, I still love the fact that - for years - the available reference of possible options has been there and grew to 12379 lines at the time of this writing. It containing value keys, defaults, possible other values and documentation. And the fact that those are more than 12000 lines is...

Introduction One of the great advantages I have being known in the community is really the opportunity to meet, talk and work with talented developers and teams. Recently the team at ACSoftware announced in the Liferay Community Slack they were working on a new Liferay development tool, and I was fortunate enough to work with them on evaluation and testing. As it is just released, I...

When we generate some NPM modules from generator-liferay-js, you should see that the generated (.jar) module is a "bit heavy".  In the case of the React Liferay module it is not as much as the Angular Liferay module (posted here). However, let's say we want to work with a few modules of this type and instance them on one page. This could cause some problems: 1. Loss of...

Introduction So recently a couple of times I've seen folks ask how to send form data somewhere. Some want to trigger remote web service calls, some want to store the data in a different entity or database, etc. The common answer I give is to use a Tee storage type to persist in Liferay while using as you need, and this is sometimes followed by "um, what was that?" ;-) So I figured it was...

TLDR; I built a Yeoman generator to adapt Elm apps for Liferay using Liferay JS Toolkit. Introduction A year ago, I came across Elm and it instantly became my favorite language to develop frontend applications. Quickly after playing with it, I wanted to be able to create Elm apps and deploy them to Liferay. I could have simply created an MVC Portlet and add my Elm app in the...
