  This is my conversation with Stian Sigvartsen, winner of the Marketplace App contest with his Social Apps Proxy (Link) and well known member of the UK Liferay usergroup, working in Devon and quite a lot with Liferay. Our paths cross quite often, but we finally found some time to talk about Stian's award winning app which basically takes all the boring stuff out of OAuth...

  At Devcon, I took the opportunity to meet several people - stay tuned for several more episodes during the rest of this year. For this episode, I spoke with Zsigmond Rab.

Dear community!   Based on market research and community feedback, we’ve seen that more and more companies are using location-based information to make important decisions.

Just a quite notice that we have pushed a new release of Liferay IDE version 2.2.1 that just pushes a few fixes for the latest major release including a nasty memory, GC bug here that would affect anyone with portal-source open in their workspace.  Also this release prepares us for the upcoming Liferay Developer Studio 2.2 release which will be available on December 1st. ...

Corporate data is a very fragile and important thing. It’s the kind of thing you don’t want to break, the same way you don’t want to break a favorite vase. Or an airplane. The cleanup tends to be expensive or, at the very least, very troubling.   Fragility is the reason we make lists and rules. It’s the reason pilots go down an exhaustive list of checks and regulations...

A platform as big as Liferay spans several...

When we work with liferay 6.2 portlet development some time we may get null or empty values when we access request parameters or form input values in the portlet action class.   The reason is from Liferay 6.2 Portlet Action class only consider the request parameters which should append with portlet name space value. This is default behavior of...

In previous entries I’ve described how we can connect Liferay and Apache Kafka, and I’ve shown a couple of examples of how this integration could be done (you can find the first blog entry  here and the second one here)   At this point, we are able to collect as much information as we need and store it in a reliable and scalable...

  Another first: This week's guest Máté Thurzó presents a brief 37000ft overview over Staging. Yes, this is literally 37000ft - we both were lucky to be invited to the North America Symposium 2014 and had the same flight back. Yes, this episode has been recorded 11277m over the atlantic ocean on the flight from Boston to Frankfurt, and it's also a first time that you see me use...

I'd like to spend some time to present a portlet that we recently published on the Marketplace: ETL process manager. I'm sure that not everyone knows what an ETL tool is and how poweful this can be when combined with Liferay. ETL stands for "Extract, Transform and Load". ETL tools are extremely useful when you need to manipulate data: extract, import, export, clean, etc.  ...
