hye, anybody here familiar with liferay? Soo maybe we can discuss anything related to liferay development or customization here. Currently i'm using liferay as a base for my client, and sometimes it's hard to find solution in their forum, so i hope that liferay developer/user here in Malaysia can contribute some info.

Thank you

kewl stuff.... i have installed it on my box.. very commercial

very cool cms compared to other java based cms. i've been playing with liferay since last year. rite now latest version is 5.2.2.
im suggest you install on ur pc first and explore and try all its function. you can also have more than one portal in one liferay.

and fyi most of gov site already converted to liferay


you can google it

yup liferay is one of the best open source ent portal. currently i'm doing portal deveplopment in ext, and to develop some portlet to integrate it with document management system. yup 5.2.2 really nice with new control panel for admin.

So there are 2 person here already using liferay, anybody else?

do you have any drop down navigation other than the default?

about navigation part, you can find it liferay forum. i already post there. just use jquery framework.

are u using 5.2.2 ver for ur developement? coz so far i had encounter few bug in control panel page.

orait, thank you.

yup i'm using 5.2.2. can you list the bug here? What I found is when i want to add the user into a group, the user group pop up doesn't show anything just white blank, or maybe it just mine .You do freelance for liferay? coz maybe my company need somebody to help on developing and customizing liferay portal and portlet.

you can find it here http://issues.liferay.com
so far in 5.2.2 ver i encounter problem import/export lar file for web content portlet,doc library portlet ...
and also view count problem in asset publisher portlet. this problem occur since 5.1.1 ver.
looks like they solve the problems.

i didn't test it yet about user group, i think it is a bug. i will let u know later.

freelance? bagus jugak, bleh cari duit lebih.
but i'm not java expert. but developing portal is my favourite .
so far i never develop a porlet. im just customizing liferay portal n portlet.

btw u should mpire too.

its really hard to find forums that discuss about liferay.. good to know that its in this forum. My company is currently embarking into using this as one of our company's portal.

if we go deeper we will know the powerful of liferay for example expando, journal template and structure and so on.

its scope of integration is better than the rest.
i personally did liferay+alfresco before.
but u need to know java and web tech. well enough to fine-tune it for larger scale of usage

nice, more people using liferay.
Now I need to create an audit log for Liferay mostly on administration part example like to keep track of new added user, deleted user, changes in setting and etc... do you guys have any idea?

hi calmshot,
maybe u need play model user i think. i think creating portlet in ext much more easier than plugin sdk. if u thinking to deploy to muptiple portal, plugin sdk is better.

delang, current u're employed or still studying?

sedang bekerja

did anyone tried the repeatable structure for version 5.2.2 like the following structure .

Level 1 ( Repeatable )
|
------------- Level 2 ( non repeatable )

The weird thing is when you try to delete one of the repeatable item from the list , it delete the whole list.. anyone has the same experience ?

can you share with me the url ?

random-wave.solar-ocean.net

oh, just tried that, it happen to me also, maybe it's a bug.



Hye, for the audit trail, it's still not available. currently i'm trying to know if anyone have done that. because my client want audit trail for their portal.

you can report it at jira. issues.liferay.com if it's a bug

do you guys can enable "Allow community administrators to use their own logo?" at the control panel display setting?

Coz i cannot enable it, everytime i check the box, then after saved it, the box unchecked again.

This post has been edited by calmshot: Apr 13 2009, 05:22 PM

i already test on my 5.2.2 and it's working fine. by default it already enable.

This post has been edited by delang: Apr 13 2009, 11:35 PM

Those using IE6 will have some feature disable in 5.2.2. For example like the Manage page tree hierarchy will not expand or collapse when using IE6. But with IE7, i can drag and drop a page from one hierachy to another

guys, from your experience using liferay, what is the most favourite features in liferay? share with us

for me is the community function where u can create multiple site for each community.

Because currently i'm doing project for an organization which have multi department, and each department can have their own site/portal. So this community function is the core for this project.

Second, is the personalization and drag and drop (igoogle style). every time I do a presentation to my client, when I show this function, they all like "Wow". hahaha

third, of course the standard portlet support (jsr168 and jsr268), easy for me to do some integration with other application.

Other, out of the box prebuilt portlet such as forum, blog, web content really make my life easy

one more requirement from my client is web hit analysis, liferay dont have that function, but after google around, i've found Piwik, the function and gui just like google analytic. You can see in the image, i use the Piwik graph plugin and embed it in the portal. look pretty neat



This post has been edited by calmshot: Apr 16 2009, 10:46 AM


Attached thumbnail(s)

so is this plugin free also ?

actually the piwik is not a plugin, piwik is a web analytic system same as google analytic, but you can create widget with the system to put in your portal.

Yup piwik is free. Open source yeah

Do anybody here know how to include rich media such as a mpg, avi, flv file into a web content. Because there is a jQuery media plugin in the js folder, but how to use that? i try with jquery media api eg but it only show link not the player.

u are running on which browser? when u click the link does it go download the file?

another tool u can use is woopra. u can refer it here.


so far i know liferay use google analytic and all u to do is just key in google analytic id.
btw thanks for the info.
for media files, i think u should try searching to liferay forum.

This post has been edited by delang: Apr 16 2009, 07:37 PM

yup, I already ask my client why not use google analytic, they said they want all the system to be hosted inside the organization.

do u guys know that LifeRay has an office in Teregganu ?

yup. at Pulau Duyung, they open the office for sales person in south east asia region. The person in charge there is Sang Baek. I already email them for support subscription price quotation, but the respond really slow.

lol. somemore pulau duyong... all island people are slow bro... relax and chill type of people

i know that there is a IT company in malaysia that has some trained liferay developer. Last I heard they are certified..

seriously? do u remember the company name?

their office near to heritage bay club. pulau duyung is where the monsoon cup organised.

is it skali?

i think we should start a liferay community in Malaysia like Joomla and Drupal.

yeah i agree

nice lets start gather our name first to know the total of liferay user here.

1. calmshot
2. delang
3. kyfong

Any body else?

ps: 5.2.3 release is coming out yeahh.

i already test LR 5.2.3 from svn. a lot of improvement.

maybe can start building one portal for community

is the delete repeatable structure bug fixed in the new version ?

Just went into the liferay website and it says

the server is initializing , come back in a minute

This post has been edited by kyfong: Apr 20 2009, 09:10 PM

not sure bout that, coz i'm still waiting for the release, not using svn. maybe delang can try it for u.

I was trying out the LifeRay web services to create new user id. With eclipse you can actually generate the client class just by pointing it to the WSDL. And you use this generated class to access its functions. Also find out that by default only localhost can access the web services. To allow others to access you need change one of the properties in portal_ext.properties file. If not you will get error code 403.

cool, thanks for the info. do you experienced in creating a portlet to use external web service?

never done that before. But I presume that as long as you can generate the necessary stub classes from the WSDL provided by the
web service publisher, you should be able to do it. Any particular issue you face in doing this ?

i think we might join liferay translation team so in future release, liferay available in bahasa malaysia version

This post has been edited by delang: May 14 2009, 11:08 PM

This bug already fixed, you can update your 5.2.2 with the new edit_article.jsp. check it out --> http://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-2624

Hi.. I am exploring this Liferay Portal. Is it possible for Liferay to be deploy or use in regular webhosting package?

for current sadly no, but there are some web hosting offering jsp/servlet server but still the spec i think is not enough. You need a dedicated or virtual server is the best.

maybe you can use application provider.

Refer here --> http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/community...sting+providers

Hmm... Ok. I thought of creating my own websites using it.

So do you think the below provider can support it with its Java Hosting?
http://www.ipserverone.com/services/hosting/java

hei i try to get my ldap working with lifefray...

i manage to connect to my AD but i got the message below:

The above results include users which are missing the required attributes (Screen Name, Password, Email Address, First Name, and Last Name). These users will not be imported until these attributes are filled in.

i suspect is the Password that causing this to happened. Can i know what field does you all enter for the Password? Pre-default is userPassword but i can't see this in my LDAP tree.

Thanks.

I think better you ask the technical support first if their server support liferay, because what i see the cpu usage and max memory is quite low.


I'm not so sure bout AD coz never use it before. Are u trying to import user account from AD server or you're exporting user from Liferay to AD server?

maybe u need to key each user password in AD before it can be imported.

omg....if that is true...den really hai lat...

erm i oso saw they mention nit to manually enter...but that would be so troublesome rite...

really troublesome when too many user

i had try also...best2

ermmm...does any1 know who else use liferay in malaysia?

nop hahaha. just us i think lol....

look like there liferay training in malaysia soon.

Anyone tried the web form ? Lately I was trying to use it and notice that it has a limitation on the number of characters for the label/question. So if ur question/label is too long in the form, it will be produce error messages.. Anyone know if there is any portlet to use to do a proper survey beside the web form ?

My problem with the web form is the text field length, can it set to be a longer text field?

looks like its time to enhance this further.. I am just wondering if there are initiative going on this.. maybe we can contribute the changes to it..

try check with db.

hi i'm a new in using liferay


can we make make profit from liferay since not many server provide service in java ...

i think can, since there's not many company using liferay rite now. the best of liferay is because, u can use 1 physical server to host multiple portal instances.

i think u shud need power server too.

compare to portal based php, hosting for application based java language need many and big resources.

It is rational that we just target for big company/organigation in market.

Actually instead of doing hosting, should consider doing consultation and implementation of liferay portal for the company. Right now not many company do customization for the liferay template.. just a suggestion..

yup that's true. so now we should start up a company for Liferay consultation and implementation.

does anyone know how find all bugfixes for LR511 from jira(issues.liferay.com)?

coz im trying to fix major bug in LR511 version.

thanks.

Yeah, the enteprise support can cost up to USD5000 if get direct from liferay.. per year..

does anyone had done developed simple portlet that have CRUD action?

im stuck at update action? hope anyone could help me.

This post has been edited by delang: Aug 27 2009, 09:56 PM

developed it before, but using php (lazy to learn java)

Are u using the service builder that comes with Liferay.. should be able to do it ..

done, at last i completed update action, i build new portlet based on sample service builder portlet.

btw, sample service builder portlet didnt come with update/edit action.

This post has been edited by delang: Sep 2 2009, 08:21 AM

what is that?

bro.. how to build portlet in liferay.. dunno how to start with...

It comes with a plugin builder.. that will generate part of the code for you to start off..

u can refer to liferay wiki. there is two type of enviroment, which is extension and plugins.
normally i use plugins enviroment to develop new portlet and use extension to extend existing liferay portlet.

besides portlet , you can also build themes and layout.. using the plugin sdk.. once u get use to it.. creating theme and layout is so easy..

inurl:p_l_id

google search tricks. u can search portal from malasyia that use liferay.
got from liferay twitter.

wow looks like a lot a few banks are also using it..

Wow kyfong, do u remember me? You are involved in Liferay too? That's cool.

Btw, how do u use the Plugin SDK? Has to integrate with some IDE tools such as Eclipse? Currently developed a few themes to demo to our client but it is actually modifying from a theme and putting it back to the folder in webapps. Any proper way to do this? And everytime updating the stylesheet, need to restart the Apache Tomcat in order to see the changes. Why is that so?
