Using jQuery with Liferay, Part 1

This week I’ll start with another very interesting look at using the extremely powerful jQuery library within Liferay portlets. Many new users to Liferay are unaware of these core features so I thought I would start out with introducing four of them – Fade Out, Slide up, Hide and Slide Down .

The video below shows a screencast using each. To get a copy of the portlet used in this demo go to the downloads sections of this site.

Part 5: Plugin SDK Development

This is the final screencast in my video series on using the Liferay Plugin SDK. I hope its been helpful for those of you new to plugin portlets. This Part 5 video shows how simple it is to build and deploy the portlet once its ready for testing. ANT is being used for the build tool — sorry, no maven support yet.

Part 4: Plugin SDK Development

Part 4 in our video screencast demonstrates customizing the Sample JSP Portlet project established previously. The tutorial also includes information on how to modify Liferay specific configuration files as well as the standard Portlet deployment descriptor. Again, instead of relying on callouts, its my voice you’ll hear during this screencast. (Apologies if its not the siren’s call you’d imagined).
