Last January, we introduced the Liferay User Group with James Faulkner, Liferay’s Community Manager, and so we decided to create a group in Montreal to represent Quebec as a whole – the Quebec Liferay users and developers. The first meeting of this user group will be held on February 13. The goal is ultimately to define the bases, how often we want to meet in the year, and what we want to present.
A “User Group”, what is it? It is primarily a set of services on the site Liferay.com which basically allow to meet, by means of a forum, and also to promote events which are organized either in Montreal, or in Quebec, and maybe later, also in Ottawa.
We decided to start our Liferay User Group because of the success in the last two years of this portal in Quebec. We realize that there are more and more large organizations that have decided to launch portals with Liferay. So a critical mass of users is starting to emerge as well as of developers. And so we thought it appropriate to create a group of users, not only to promote but also to share ideas, to exchange experiences on the product and therefore, ultimately, to improve the Quebec expertise in this open source technology.
A user group in Montreal, and Quebec in general, can also allow to contribute to the product and provide local wealth by providing patches or modules. The application marketplace was launched last year in 2012, so any company in Quebec can promote and improve the product and offer applications.
This user group will also help to identify a number of requirements that are common in Quebec and possibly offer them to Liferay so that they are are integrated natively in the product. I think especially of the translations that have been made — contributions to the French-Canadian translations are frequent — but other modules are more specific to Quebec and could therefore be integrated into Liferay.
Liferay gives us the possibility to add Oauth (OpenId connect) authentication out of the box. It’s also possible to give access to third-party applications via Oauth authentication. But what if you don’t want your user to log in to your portal with Oauth but still give them the possibility to enhance their experience by connecting […]
Look at how to set up an OAuth 2.0 authentication within Liferay to access Office 365 web services.

The Thumbnail Generator aims to improve and facilitate the generation of thumbnails provided by Liferay. This plugin was created during a project requiring a large number of thumbnails with precise dimensions in order to minimize the loading time of the web pages. Currently, Liferay is only capable of generating two different sizes of thumbnails, when […]
