RE: Removing /web/guest in Liferay 6.1

2013-05-16T10:51:25Z

Hello Arvind,
Please see my Edit (the first post).

I had made a mistake while removing unneeded filters and also removed the VirtualHostFilter
The solutions provided by the other guys in this thread does work!

Hope you'll get it working too!

Using api/jsonws from javascript

2013-04-16T19:04:16Z

Hi,

(Liferay 6.1.1 CE GA2)

Trying to get article content by using this jsonws-method:

1/api/jsonws?signature=/journalarticle/get-article-content-4-groupId-articleId-languageId-themeDisplay

This is the snippet I'm using:

1AUI().use('liferay-service', function(A) {
2 var params = {
3          groupId: Number(themeDisplay.getScopeGroupId()),
4       articleId: '12345',
5       languageId: themeDisplay.getLanguageId(),
6       themeDisplay: themeDisplay
7 };
8
9 Liferay.Service(
10       '/journalarticle/get-article-content',
11       params,
12       function(obj) {
13          console.log(obj);
14       }
15 );
16});

When executing the code, I get the following response:

1{"exception":"No JSON web service action associated with path /journalarticle/get-article-content and method GET for /"}

According to LPS-29265, there are some misstakes in the documentation of webservices but when checking the method signature for

1com.liferay.portal.journal.service.JournalArticleServiceUtil#getArticleContent

, it seems I have the correct parameters so the method should be recognized. Feels a bit wierd to use the javascript-version of themeDisplay as a parameter but I guess it should work? Any ideas?

RE: Having problems integrating with LDAP

Hi Carleen,

Have you tried changing the log level to see if theres any useful information there?
Go to Control Panel -> Server Administration -> Log Levels. Search for "ldap" and set the level for any classes you find to DEBUG.

Mix preferences

2013-03-24T09:25:56Z

Hi,

I would like to be able to set preferences for a portlet using different "storage classes", i.e., some prefs are company-wide while others may be unique-per-layout.
Example: I have a portlet where a URL is shared for all instances but another property for binding a tooltip should be per layout. The preferences are editable from the config-page of the portlet.

Is this possible out of the box or have someone managed to accomplish this in some other way?

Thomas

RE: How to get users associated with a team

2013-02-19T17:58:49Z

Chris Doar:

So, am I right in presuming that in your example the teamId added to the LinkedHashMap would be 18312 and that the companyId would be 18002 for the siteId?

Well, not quite. You have to specify the companyId instead of the siteId:

1long companyId = themeDisplay.getCompanyId();

The ThemeDisplay-object is available as an implicit object in your jsp if you've defined

1<%@ taglib uri="http://liferay.com/tld/theme" prefix="liferay-theme" %>
2<liferay-theme:defineObjects />

Another way to get it (for example in java-files) is

1ThemeDisplay themeDisplay = (ThemeDisplay) request.getAttribute(WebKeys.THEME_DISPLAY)

where request is an implementation of javax.portlet.PortletRequest (i.e., RenderRequest, ResourceRequest etc.)

Cheers
Thomas

RE: How to get users associated with a team

2013-01-07T08:28:22Z

Since

1UserLocalServiceUtil.getTeamUsers()

is not yet implemented (I'm using Liferay 6.1.1 CE GA2) I had to find another way to get users associated with teams.
Looking at portal/portal-web/docroot/html/portlet/sites_admin/edit_team_assignments_user.jsp, I managed to get a list of users with the following snippet:

1LinkedHashMap<String, Object> userParams = new LinkedHashMap<String, Object>();
2userParams.put("usersTeams", teamId);
3
4List<User> teamUsers = UserLocalServiceUtil.search(companyId,
5 null, WorkFlowConstants.STATUS_ANY, userParams,
6 QueryUtil.ALL_POS, QueryUtil.ALL_POS, (OrderByComparator) null);

May not be the best way to do it but does not require servicebuilder or custom queries.

The Liferay docs suggest that, for performance reasons, it would be better to use the indexed version of UserLocalServiceUtil.search() but I haven't seen any examples of that version being used. If anyone has info about the indexed version, please share.

Anyway, hopefully someone will have use for this workaround while we wait for UserLocalServiceUtil.getTeamUsers() to be implemented.

Thomas

Still nothing in {tomcat.home}/work/Catalina/localhost/chat-portlet. Wondering why there's no "PortletHotDeployListener"?
Could "/opt/portal/liferay/servers/liferay-portal-6.1.1-ce-ga2/deploy/chat-portlet.war does not have a matching extension" be causing problems with the deployment? If so, how can I fix this problem?
As you can see in the log, the Hook for chat-portlet is available for use but nothing about the chat-portlet. Seems like there should be a PortletHotDeployListener invoked? But... The exact same log is displayed in our test-system and there, the chat-portlet is properly deployed and functional.

And then the undeploy:

Hello Bijan,
No, I have not been able to reproduce the error in our test-systems, The chat-portlet works just fine in all systems except the important one

RE: Chat Portlet not visible

2012-12-08T11:43:19Z

Hi Oli, thanks for your reply!

When deploying the chat portlet, I don't see "chat portlet is ready for use" although I can see "hook for chat portlet is ready to use". There are no errors.
I don't have any problems deploying other plugins but have noticed that the message ".. is ready for use" rarely shows when deploying plugins. Haven't worried about it since the plugins work properly.

I tried your suggestion and added the chat-portlet to liferay-display.xml and changed <system>true</system> to <system>false</system> in liferay-portlet.xml.
This works in the test environment but not in production. I guess the portlet is in fact not properly deployed. Strangely, there are no error messages and the log looks the same in both systems when deploying:

Chat Portlet not visible

2012-12-06T19:34:14Z

Hello Liferay community!

Environment: Liferay 6.1.1 CE GA2, Tomcat 7.0.27, Ubuntu 10.0.4

We have customized the chat portlet so that it checks a custom field for Sites before rendering.
This works really well in our test environment but the chat portlet just wont render in our production environment. I have tried clearing ${tomcat.home}/tmp and redeploying the portlet and restarted Tomcat without change.

The following is displayed in our production system (view source):

1<div class="portlet-boundary portlet-boundary_1_WAR_chatportlet_ portlet-static portlet-static-end chat-portlet " id="p_p_id_1_WAR_chatportlet_">
2 <span id="p_1_WAR_chatportlet"></span>
3 <div class="portlet-body"></div>
4</div>

The exact same (empty portlet) is rendered in the test system when the flag is set to False.

I've seen that a folder is created in ${tomcat.home}/work/Catalina/localhost upon deployment, but in our production system it's empty. In the test environment, the view.jsp has been compiled.

I'm asking for some help regarding what to check! Are there any settings (or filters) that are required for the chatportlet to work?

There must be some differences between the systems but I cannot find what they are. Any suggestions are welcome!
My best guess is that there are some caching issues (either with the portlet files or with the custom field) but I have not been able to verify this.

Thomas

RE: Upgrade to 6.1ga2

Hello Joseph,

I ran into the exact same issue (same stacktrace). Found this bug report which helped me solve the problem. I just started the old server and went through all sites/organizations from the control-panel, deleting all bookmark-folders.
Perhaps not a good solution for you but we only had one site that had one single bookmark-folder with a few bookmark-entries so for us it was simple. We can always re-create the bookmarks manually if necessary. I guess it would also be possible to backup the tables boomarksentry and bookmarksfolder and re-create them using some fairly simple script.

[RESOLVED] Cannot download documents with IE8

2012-09-08T06:49:15Z

Environment: Linux, Tomcat 7.0.27, Liferay 6.1.1 CE GA2

Sigh, there's always something with IE.

Our users have reported that they cannot download files with IE8. Since our site uses https throughout, the issue seems to be related to this old forum post. IE8 says that ".. the file cannot be written to cache..." or something similar.

As always, there's no problem with Chrome, Firefox, Safari etc. Even Internet Explorer 9 works

Something has changed from Liferay 6.1.0 CE GA, the headers served are:

Liferay 6.1.1 CE GA2:

Cache-Control:private

Is this related to Liferay or Tomcat? How do I change the Cache-Control and Pragma headers?

Already tried adding valves to tomcat/conf/context.xml as described here but made no difference.

Please advice

LocaleException during startup

2012-08-05T09:33:16Z

Hi,

Using Liferay 6.1.1 CE GA2. I get this exception during startup. Haven't noticed any problems related to this but would of course like to know why this happens:

RE: Removing /web/guest in Liferay 6.1

2012-07-30T23:56:59Z

So now I've lost /web/guest and get directed to http://mydomain.com/home when entering http://mydomain.com but the page is not served.
Instead I get WARN [404_jsp:109] /home... All pages in the Guest site are accessible by entering http://mydomain.com/web/guest/<page-name> which is fine, I just need them to also be available when entering http://mydomain.com/<page-name> (without /web/guest being added to the url).

All Wiki's and Forum posts seem simple enough but I just cannot get it to work!

I've successfully set the virtual host for the only portal instance to localhost and set the virtual host for the Guest-site to mydomain.com

My /etc/hosts looks like this:

1127.0.0.1 localhost
2a.b.c.d mydomain.com

Which settings in portal-ext.properties are involved in this and what values are you guys using for them?

1company.default.web.id=mydomain.com
2company.default.home.url=/web/guest
3virtual.hosts.default.site.name=Guest

Please, does anyone have an idea about which settings i've missed or set wrong?

Thanks Oli, good tip!

I discovered that I had set

1virtual.hosts.default.site.name=
2instead of
3virtual.hosts.default.site.name=Guest

Changing this back fixed "ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS".

But it does not solve my problem i'm afraid

The address mydomain.com/home stil gives me WARN [404_jsp:109] /home instead of serving the page even though the url of the page looks like this:
