Liferay Collaboration Suite

Features

Take advantage of a virtualized work environment with Liferay’s built in Collaboration Suite.

Liferay Collaboration Suite rivals industry-leading stand alone products in its feature set. Liferay’s wikis, message boards, and blogs are fully equipped with RSS support, email notifications, dynamic tagging, rating systems and social bookmark links. In conjunction with Liferay Portal’s flexible system of communities and organizations, Liferay Collaboration Suite offers practical tools to unlock the latent value in your community.

Message Boards

Liferay Portal 5.0 includes a full-fledged Message Boards portlet that rivals standalone products in its feature set with all the benefits of a portal environment. Message Boards are a perfect solution for facilitating conversations within a department or project team that is collaborating around shared ideas, or for capturing and sharing the tacit knowledge of your workgroup.

  • Includes support for sticky posts, statistics, recent posts, RSS, email-based subscriptions, avatars, threads management (move to another category), and full fine-grained permissions.
  • See our Message Boards in action!

 

 

 

 

Blogs

Liferay’s Blog Portlet is designed to provide the best features of modern blogging tools coupled with the benefits of the community-centric nature of Liferay Portal. This allows users to convey information and facilitate conversations around blogs directly in the context of a website, intranet, extranet, or social network. Liferay Blogs use the same social computing tools found in the Message Boards and Wiki for a unified user experience and content base.

  • Features include RSS support, threaded user and guest comments, email notifications of blog replies, tags and labels, an entry rating system, and social bookmarking links, .
  • A Blog Aggregator portlet groups together all blog entries in the entire portal or in a particular organization.
  • Check out Liferay's own Blogs!

 

Wikis

 

Liferay’s Wiki in version 5.0 is comparable to industry-leading Wiki products (both proprietary and open source). Of course, Liferay’s Wiki also benefits from being part of Liferay Portal, enjoying built-in user management, LDAP integration, permissions, multiple Wikis per installation (scoped by community or organization), and access to the full library of Liferay collaboration tools such as blogs, forums, shared calendars, document library and content management.

Collaborate on collective knowledge with Liferay’s built-in Wiki, with versioning and reversion capabilities.
