We have improved the behaviour of an existing configuration to be able to properly publish a child page in a Staging process to Live site without its parent(s). This also improves the performance of publishing changes.

Now it is possible to easily identify the content you have created and any recent content you generated. This enhancement streamlines and optimizes this workflow.

Easily configure the friendly URLs for the different asset types, updating URL separators. In addition to that, now users are able to set categories within a blog’s friendly URL and easily identify by the URL what is the main topic of the page they are visiting.

You can now have access to the event’s details when selecting a calendar event and be redirected to the already existing details page of that particular event. It is also possible to map a Calendar Event’s specific URL, along with some other fields, in order to use it in emails so the recipient can click on it and be redirected to the Event’s details.

Manage contacts directly related to accounts like phone numbers, emails, websites, addresses.

A new Contact Tab in Account details page with 2 internals tabs was created:

1. Addresses
2. Contact Information

Users with “Accounts > Account Entry: Manage Addresses” permission should be able to manage their contacts with all these actions:

• Add
• Edit
• Remove
• Mark as primary

Example of managing a phone number:

Users without “Accounts > Account Entry: Manage Addresses” permission should be able to only view the existing phone number entries.

It is now possible to select Date Times as a product option type, configuring purchase options for products based on date, times, time zones, and durations, allowing for the sale of time slots.

Until now the Data Set was always rendered as a table with one column for each mapped field. From now on, the admin user can define up to three different visualization modes for the same data: Table, List and Cards.

These visualization modes share the configurations about: filters, actions, sorting and pagination. However, each visualization mode can have different mapped fields decided by the admin users.

Also, a new Settings tab to select the default mode has been added.

Final users will be able to view the visualization modes created by Admin Users and they will be able to change between them to discover the data in the way they want.

To create Sign In, Forgot Password, and Create Account utility pages, it's necessary for these three views of the Login portlet (i.e., Sign In widget) to be available as individual widgets, which can be placed on pages separately. As a result, Sign In, Forgot Password, and Create Account are now accessible as separate widgets.

It's worth noting that the Sign In widget retains its previous functionality.

The Server Administration interface provides powerful tools for controlling the server. As an added layer of security, CAPTCHA is now required for actions in Server Administration pages and the Gogo Shell page. Due to the sensitive nature of these controls, the system will still enforce CAPTCHA on these pages, even if the “Maximum Challenges” configuration is set to a negative number.

The Data Set for actions has been improved to provide new capabilities to the users:

• For the Item Actions: now there are 4 new available types available on top of the link Action: Async, Headless, Modal or Side Panel . It allows Admin Users to connect items to new functionalities and use cases.
• Creation Actions: this option has been created in order to allow Admin Users to create new data or direct their users to a place where they can create it.

It allows users to map fields on the first level of related elements or any hierarchical structure through a tree view which is searchable and expandable.

In addition, it is possible to map leaf fields, the common use case, but also parent fields which include all the children data to be rendered through a Client Extension.

We aimed to facilitate seamless navigation between various Utility pages, whether there are multiple or just one.

This feature prevents portal from being unusable when a change-tracked entity being modified in a publication is removed from production. If an entity is being modified in a publication, it cannot be removed from production. If a deleted entity in a publication is being modified in another publication, the publication with the deletion cannot be published.

When publications go out of date, they are completely useless and all changes made to them can not be leveraged in any capacity. The changes in this feature allow publications users to move changes from an out of date publication to another publication. This allows users to salvage changes after an upgrade.

The autocomplete attribute grants the user agent permission to provide automated assistance in filling out form fields. This feature can significantly speed up the form-filling process, especially for repetitive or standard information like names, addresses, and email addresses. This also allows screen readers which use standard attributes such as autocomplete to assist users navigating websites.

Incorporating the HTML autocomplete attribute into your forms is a simple yet powerful way to enhance user experience. By leveraging autocomplete suggestions, you can streamline the form-filling process, reduce errors, and ultimately create a more user-friendly environment. Experiment with different values, test across browsers, and watch as your users appreciate the improved efficiency of your forms.

We are constantly working on improving performance of Publications. We have implemented improvement for Timeline and Conflict checking icons.

If a conflict appears between the scheduled publication and Production before or during publishing stage, we have added a functionality to provide more information inside Liferay notifications when this situation occurs.

Page Creator now can efficiently manage permissions for their website, distinguishing between public and restricted pages. Key functionalities, such as unique designs and restricted access, are incorporated seamlessly.

Requirements include easy identification of page visibility, bulk permission management, and configuration options for both individual pages and entire branches.

Boost the performance of reverting changes , when the DB has huge amount of records. This way the usability of Publications further increases.

This features creates a reviewer role that has read-only (and no update) permissions. It grants permission to review the draft of a content page, or the pages that are submitted through a workflow and are still pending approval and publication.
