Page title on the page (not talking about the browser page title)

[David Latty, módosítva 15 év-val korábban]

I am looking to put a page title on the page. I must be missing something because I cant figure out how to. Is this a journal article? Can you please give the step-by-step of how to add a page title - simular to http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/community (community is the page title under the navigation bar).

Thanks -

Sorry, It's just a Journal Article.

You could make a slight change to the Navigation or Breadcrumb portlet
to get a similar effect though (except for the description, because the
Layout doesn't have a description field, but maybe it could).

Hey Thanks. I was a bit lost. As a follow - is this the same way I would post a banner in that same area - or any area? As a journal article.

So to be clear, say I want a banner below the navigation instead. Would this also be a journal article?

Thanks again.

Yup! Journal is generally the vehicle used to deliver content to users.
It allows you to create dynamic content, and among other things, user
friendly input forms to reduce the development time of commonly
performed tasks like in your example, placing banners.

If you look at the demo content that comes with the portal, you'll have
have all the examples of this used on the Liferay.com site (at the time
of the release).

HTH!

Well that might explain my issue. My content was empty on installation (5). Am I looking in the wrong place? I even looked directly in the journalarticle table, and it is empty. I am using the community edition (FYI). Is there any way to load this content. I definatly looked around for tutorials, and I have found a few (on liferay), but none that described any sample data. The only sample data I see is the test organization and test organization location, but thats it.

Thanks again.

Hmm, you wouldn't happen to be on 4.3 would you? There are a few
iterations of 4.3 which didn't include the sample data in the bundle.

(We later stopped this packaging practise because it proved an issue
with new users. )

If this is you, then simple browse the files on sourceforge, look for
the set of files matching your version and download the
[tt]liferay-portal-sql-*.zip[/tt] bundle. This should have a
[tt]create-*.sql[/tt] matching your DB.

On the next portal startup, you should see the portal with the demo data
(The Guest community in particular).

If you already have data in your portal, you could simply load this demo
data in another DB and startup the portal against it. Get the structures
and templates you need, and you should be off to the races.

HTH!

No sir. My install is liferay-portal-tomcat-5.5-5.0.1.zip (or so it says).

[Ray Augé, módosítva 15 év-val korábban]

Ok, you must be using the embedded db then, and for some reason it
didn't find the populated DB in the usual <tomcat>/bin path.

Are you starting the server from within <tomcat>/bin using either the
[tt]startup.bar[/tt] or [tt]startup.sh[/tt] scripts?

If you start from a different path, tomcat might mistake the startup
folder and not find the default DB (with the sample payload) in the bin
folder. (This is typical of starting tomcat as a service in Windows and
forgetting to adjust the startup folder for the service.)

Does any of this make any sense?

Firstly, I do see my users in the database, and I did follow the directions to set up db, as opposed to the hsql db; however, I couldnt say I am 100% that this is what its doing.

I am running on windows, so my start line is "startup", and I usually run this from within bin.

I am using the tomcat bundle.

as according to here http://www.liferay.com/web/guest/downloads/additional
it seems like the DB samples are a seperate download.
