- Summary: A Java developer’s guide to developing custom intranet systems, based on Liferay’s platform
As one of only a few books on advanced Liferay Portal development Jonas had a LOT of material to cover. My two weeks of experience with Liferay up to this point had only involved deployment, configuration and theme development. After been impressed with the results so far my next three aims were customising the WYSIWYG editor with styles more specific to the site, adding layout templates to support quick deployment of content and some custom portals for integrating our other information management systems. A week later with the book and I have the first two knocked over and am on my way with the portals. (more…)
Liferay theme release – WinterSky
And now announcing the release of my first Liferay theme. Details about the wordpress theme it is based on is available in my previous post (Liferay Inroads).
Requisite Screenshot
It has made a perfect intranet theme for our uses. Most appreciated is the simplified interface look.
I have finished most visual touchups. Things left on my to do list are submenu indicators, tools menu rearrangement and rethemeing the chat portal.
If anybody has ideas on integrating the chat portal visuals closer I’d be happy to listen.
DOWNLOAD and INSTALL: The theme should now be available from the theme installer in liferay-5.2.2 installs and the WinterSky theme page on Liferay is here.
Now to work on some new portals. Till next time.
