James Falkner 13 Years Ago Ya know, I bet this would be highly useful during WCM template development. A nice prototyping feature. Now, to make this available via the OS command line Please sign in to reply. Reply as... Cancel
Michael C. Han 13 Years Ago Actually, the scripting service was implemented prior to Kaleo. It was for the EU research project, Romulous. The service's primary responsibility was to make it easier for developers to write portlets in non-Java languages (e.g. Ruby, Groovy, Python, PHP). As a side benefit, workflow was able to use it for easier action coding and of course we added it as an admin interface.@JF scripting in WCM template was already possible with the velocity and freemarker support. There's no need for scripting service for that. In the WCM template, you can call any LR service. e.g.:$serviceLocator.findService("com.liferay.portal.service.UserService").getUserByEmailAddress(...)

Han 13 Years Ago Yeah, I know it's been there, but during template development you have 1. have a structure defined, 2. define your template, 3. create an article, 4. deploy to a WCM display portlet, to see if it works. It would be awesome if during template development I could have a separate window open to run small snippets of test script in VM or FM or whatever, to make sure it works, before committing it to the template. Even cooler would be a "test script" button which just runs what you have written with some sample data or something. Really would speed up template dev! Please sign in to reply. Reply as...

Comparing scripting and WCM templates (VM or FM), which is better for developers? Maybe, detailed documentation would be helpful to show these cool features. Please sign in to reply. Reply as...

Kevin Britton 13 Years Ago I've been able to use the script console to add a user to a community, but it seems to fail whenever I try to do an addUser. Is this a designed-in limitation, or am I doing something wrong? Please sign in to reply. Reply as... Cancel
Joseph Toman 12 Years Ago This is a great tool, but here are two things I can think of that would make this even more useful:a) Run scripts from the Document Library, or some other persistence mechanism. If you have to cut & paste every time you want to run a script, that gets old real fast.b) Redirect output to a popup window. The admin does not necessarily have access to the logs or console when they are running a script. Please sign in to reply. Reply as... Cancel

Wendell Payne 6 Years Ago Looking all over to find the answer and I see all combinations but not a direct explanation Is there a capability to use an API or CLI to communicate and execute commands to the LifeRay console? Please sign in to reply. Reply as... Cancel Jeffrey Handa Wendell Payne 6 Years Ago Hi Wendell, I'm not aware of any way to interact with the Script Console from a CLI, however you could interact with Liferay's web services. You might try posting your question to the Forums (be sure to specify the Liferay version you're using and any specific commands you're trying to execute). If you're new to the Liferay community, Jamie's recent blog post (https://web.liferay.com/web/jamie.sammons/blog/-/blogs/a-new-way-to-connect-with-the-liferay-community) does a good job outlining other resources for getting help including our Community Slack Channel.
