I'm working on a site that requires the layout of the blog to be changed. I read somewhere that I need to map a custom control. Anyone know what this involves? I don't need a fully fledged answer, just some direction.
Thanks!
Peter
here is a blog post that explains how to do this:

Hope this helps,

Are there any basic tutorials for creating my first liferay 7 portlet like a Hello World App?
I am new to Liferay and need some help getting started. I have read over the liferay 7 tutorials and I have tried following the Liferay 7 Creating An MVC Portlet, but having trouble understanding where everything goes and how it all works together, and I feel that it is not a comprehensive tutorial.
About Me and My Liferay Aspirations:
I have experience with JAVA, JavaScript and Node.js.
I'd eventually like to be able to display a google map and display content on it, but just want to make some baby steps understanding portlets. Correct me if a portlet is not the right thing for me to be focusing on for this goal.
There is an excellent book "Liferay in Action". It helpls a lot, but there are a lot of mistakes in code. On the other hand, there is "Portlet in action", but it doesn't have free pdf-version :\
Also, you can visit web.liferay.com, I don't like this forum but there are good questions from time to time.
And any other issues you can only google, google and google again. Unfortunately, there is no alternative way.
The tutorials are not going to give you all the details, because they must be as short as possible. That said, the Creating an MVC Portlet tutorial should get you pretty well on your way. Which parts, specifically, are you having trouble understanding?
Have you read the Liferay MVC Portlet introductory tutorial? It's even sparser on details but it might fill in a few gaps.
If you are first time developing using liferay then this link might help you. It is guide to liferay 6.2. Creating plugin portlets is same in liferay 6.2 and 7. Just setup is different.
For creating liferay modules refer liferay 7 documentation.
I've found Kanapes IDE. Which looks like it could be useful but the developers have actually produced zero documentation. They simply ask that you to follow them on Facebook and Twitter. How is this documentation?! Do you know of any actual (hidden) user docs existing for this app? Or better yet, do you know if anyone has built a better (with actual help) CouchDB management tool? Yes I'm aware of Futon and it's very, very basic. I'm hoping something more/better than Futon exists.
Thanks for your replies :-)
You can also try erica. It has rather documentation. Good luck!
Is there a module available for a booking form?
Allowing you to see when something is available for hire and then recording your name for it?
Not that I know of. To be sure, please check Orchard Gallery: http://gallery.orchardproject.net/.
A friend of mine has created a demo of KendoUI's scheduler in his Kendo package on the gallery. It uses projections and is pretty flexible. May be somewhere you could start at least. His introduction to the module is here: http://breakoutdeveloper.com/Orchard-Modules/kendo-web-updates-q2-2013 and on the gallery here: http://gallery.orchardproject.net/List/Modules/Orchard.Module.Kendo.Web/2013.2.716
I need to create advanced search functionality for my Alfresco website to search by custom metadata.
Does Alfresco provide existing functionality for an advanced search or will I have to code this using a new WQS page with a search form and webscripts?
If anyone knows this it would be a great help, don't want to reinvent the wheel and all that :) Thanks.
Given this information it is hard to tell how much effort it is to implement, but it sounds this could be done in a few hours - assuming you have a skilled developer.
Anyways, I would definitely not recommend to build a website based on quickstart unless you really feel comfortable coding "the Alfresco way" - that is Spring Surf and Alfresco Share. Of course you'll need some knowledge about how to code for the Repo as well. Keep in mind that quickstart as a best practice example is meant for educational purposes. Building on top of it most likely involves forking and starting your customization from there on. Before you decide to go this route, make sure a decent amount of your requirements are covered by quickstart.
I am now developing a workflow search in alfresco. For me, I have to create a new page like alfresco advanced search. Here is Share Advanced Search http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Share_Advanced_Search customizing sample.
Here is explanation about alfresco search. http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Search
I hope this may help you.
I want something similar to a Wordpress.com blog.
What site has a free solution like this?
I want to start a little WPF blog to help newbies with the same problems I've had in my learning of WPF.
Edit:
I need it to have a [code] tag or something similar.
Wordpress.com has support for source code presentation:
http://en.support.wordpress.com/code/posting-source-code/
If you aren't in to hosting your own blog, then WP is a very reasonable choice - ie, more than "Good Enough" to get started.
