Hi,
I can't seem to find documentation anywhere on how to manually configure portal pages and their content without using CMS.

Basically, I'd like to start with a clean portal instance without the default Liferay portal pages (i.e. Products, Services, Partners, etc). Then, I'd like to configure my own default pages via some config files, and specify the portlets in those pages.

This way, I can ship this portal product with a clean db. Then, customers can customize the rest at runtime via the UI. Otherwise, if I need to use CMS to configure my pages/portlets, I also have to ship the db with all the previous state. This makes deployment/distribution/upgrades more difficult.

So in a way, is all state saved in the db, including the default state?

Any help is appreciated, thanks!

The following section in portal.properties should interest you.

##
## Default Guest
##

#
# The Guest group at least one public page. The settings for the initial
# public page are specified in the following properties. For more complex
# behavior, override the addDefaultLayouts method in
# com.liferay.portal.service.impl.GroupLocalServiceImpl.
#

#
# Set the layout name.
#
default.guest.layout.name=Welcome

#
# Set the layout template id that matches an existing TPL.
#
#default.guest.layout.template.id=1_2_1_columns
#default.guest.layout.template.id=1_column

#default.guest.layout.template.id=2_columns_i
default.guest.layout.template.id=2_columns_ii

#

#

# also has a friendly URL set.
#
default.guest.friendly.url=/home

##
## Default User
##

#
# Users who have the Power User role must have at least one private personal
# page. The settings for the initial private page are specified in the

#

#
# Set the layout name.
#
default.user.layout.name=Home

#
# Set the layout template id that matches an existing TPL.

default.user.private.layout.lar=${resource.repositories.root}/deploy/default_user_private.lar

doesn't seem to be working for me. I'm using 5.2.2

It doesn't complain even if I specify the name of a non-existent .lar file.

I'd like to debug the issue. where could i pace breakpoints?

The following properties work for me.
default.user.private.layout.column-1
default.user.private.layout.column-2

Thanks!
