Project Title #

Print Blog Post

Background #

Liferay has a large collection of in-built user collaboration and content generation tools, such as wikis, blogs, message boards, etc. Often times it is convenient to print (e.g. to paper, or a PDF) useful content such as blog posts.

Use Cases #

A user wishes to have a hard copy (or easily accessible PDF) of a particular blog post.

The Problem #

Currently, Liferay's blogs have no notion of a "print view" similar to what is found on the wiki tool.

The Solution #

Modify the existing blog portlet to enable a "print view" option (similar to wiki view).

Skills Needed #

• Required: Java, JavaScript, JSP
• Nice to have: Liferay, AlloyUI

Prerequisites #

None.

Deliverables #

• Complete code changes to Liferay Portal blog tool to enable a "print view" option displayed as part of a given blog post or blog aggregator.
• Unit tests for all new and changed code.
• Documentation required to configure the blog tool for print view.
