The nice thing about Liferay's drag and drop layout is that you (usually) don't have to remember any of the portlet ids. At least, until you do. If you skim through portal.properties, there's a set...
I figured out how to do this when I was testing the message board subscriptions and the web form portlet. Configure your ROOT.xml to look like this: <Resource ...
A common question and topic when I do training or work on support cases, is, "What is the right way to do inter portlet communication in Liferay?" Well, there is no "right way" to do this. At least...

It's no big secret that Liferay's bundled wiki is one of the most often criticized. And I can understand it. For example, when you first add the portlet you get a view that looks nothing like a...

Well, that's better. I've now replaced the picture. It seemed appropriate: I took a vacation day during my last week with my old employer in order to take my daughter to the Adventure Aquarium here...
Wow, horror of horrors, I got my blog page up! I'm a fairly new Liferay employee, and it looks like the first thing I need to do is replace my image. Currently, it's the mug shot my old employer...
One of the most annoying things of late has been the slow "glacial" pace of the W3C, which is the standards body for HTML/CSS. It's been bandied about by most professional web devs in the...

When it comes to being wired, the US is in the stone ages. No joke. I've been reading this series of articles on CNN the past few weeks: Eye on South Korea. It's a series that highlights the...
What is Liferay? Liferay is the reason I'm here in Dalian. What is Dalian? It's the city that has welcomed us to the Middle Kingdom, but it's also a place with interesting geography. This second...
