The tech meetup focused on challenges with Liferay 6.2 and previous versions, discussing issues such as unused portlets, non-intuitive UI flows, and the need for improved content management. Key topics included the benefits of OSGi, the transition to Elasticsearch for faster search capabilities, and enhanced content organization using the Alloy Editor. Emphasis was placed on improving user experience through mobile-first design and localized mail notifications.
Overview of Liferay 7 Technology
- 2. Difficulties with Liferay 6.2 & Previous versions
- 3. Unused Items • Fat Liferay – Unused Liferay Portlets on PROD • Need Ext/Hook – To remove/hide.
- 4. Classification • No classification of Web Contents
- 5. Non Intuitive Flow • Older version of UI components • Bootstrap 2.3.2
- 6. Turtle UI • To get a task done – Multiple page loads – Many clicks
- 10. UI • Single Page Application • Left Pane – Control Panel – User Space • Right Pane – Application Menu – Simulation of UI
- 15. Single Page Application Supported using Senna JS and AlloyUI Surface Senna JS - http://sennajs.com/ Awesome response time – All the time Better speeds - Faster access on Mobiles
- 16. Bootstrap 3 Focused on Mobile First Grids for all devices Better control for multiple devices at once. New Collections of Forms, images & Modals
- 17. Where are my options?
- 22. OSGi
- 23. • Updated Directory sturcture • OSGi Directory contains – Jar and War files for all components in LR7
- 24. • Easy to remove a module. Just delete the jar. – STOPPED com.liferay.dictionary.web_1.0.2 • Add a jar to deploy – STARTED com.liferay.dictionary.web_1.0.2 Console log Console log
- 25. OSGi Since 1999 Lightweight, Fast and Secure Framework OSGi Standards compliant Service Registry Loosely coupled Manages module lifecycle dynamically
- 26. OSGi Benefits Reduces complexity Modular Architecture Reduces Maintenance
- 27. OSGi & Liferay Existing porlets as OSGi modules New Portlet development as modules Service builder powered modules
- 28. Lucene • Core of All major search engines • Supported by Apahce • Embedded to Liferay till version 6.x
- 29. Luke • Helps – to see Lucene Indices – to run Lucene Queries
- 30. Solr • Wraps Lucene • Better than ‘Just Lucene’
- 33. Important Factors Opensource Distributed, Scalable, Highly Available RESTful, JSON Faster search (sub 100 ms) Built-in Redundancy
- 34. How it happens in Liferay? • Portal specific configuration – Index = liferay-0 • Instance specific configuration – Index = liferay-instanceId e.g. liferay-20202 • Type = LiferayDocumentType • Document Ids – com.liferay.portal.kernel.model.User_PORTLET_20250 – com.liferay.message.boards.kernel.model.MBThread_PORTLET_31042 – com.liferay.wiki.model.WikiPage_PORTLET_31329 • Document – JSON documents
- 36. Managing Web Contents Organize contents in Folders • Folders can be created – Just like in Documents and Media
- 37. Creating Contents Brand New Alloy Editor Simple Inline
- 38. Plus button to add elements e.g. table, image etc. Helps to see HTML and preview Content Area
- 41. Preview Pane
- 42. Blog Template
- 43. I wish I could mention my friend just like I do on Facebook, Twitter etc.
- 44. @Mentions
- 45. Workflow and Restrictions • Web Contents – Folders can be created – Restrictions on Structures – Separate Workflow per folder (choice) • Documents and Media – Restrictions on Document types – Separate Workflow per folder (choice)
- 49. Geo Locate Your Content • Geo Locations can be added to content • Asset Maps • How to - – Create Structure with Geo Location Element – Define a template – Create Web Content for that Structure • Custom Fields
- 50. Localized Mail Notifications • Localization Support • For each type of Mail notifications – Account Created Notification – Password Reset – Email Verification – Password Changed
Editor's Notes
- #5: No buckets in
- #27: Benefits of OSGI for Developers-OSGI has come up with better scopes and opportunities for the developers. Take a look at its benefits that developers will have while using this platform- It has been known to reduce the complexity. It offers modular architecture for large scale distributed system as well as for small embedded applications. Significant building of systems from in-house and off-shelf modules. Reduces maintenance and development expenses. Realizes the promise of component based systems.
- #34: Distributed, Scalable, Highly available – Nodes automatically form cluster RESTful, JSON – Two layers– HTTP, Transport HTTP layer serves RESTful services and they take JSON in and output JSON Built-in Redundancy – Every node has mutiple shards. Elasticsearch indices are divided into shards – Primary and Replica
- #53: Add Summary
