Liferay 6.2 - Post-Migration issues

Liferay 6.2 - issues, which may occur after Liferay migration (from 5.x, 6.x to 6.2)

1. Document Library links issue.

After migration to 6.2 download links to DL documents may be broken (even if those document are displayed in DL portlet, and there are appropriate files in data/document_library folder).

This issue and it's fix described here: DL broken link issue

2. Dockbar issue - Add, Edit buttons do not work.

Description:

For some communities in Liferay 6.2  'Add', 'Edit' buttons in dockbar may display empty content. So, it's not possible to add portlet on page or modify page settings.

There can be also such error in browser:

Chrome: Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'ancestor' of null

Firefox: TypeError: a.one(...) is null

There is also similar LPS issue: https://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-38040

Fix:

At first sight, it seems to be a JS error.

But the issue may be in DB corrupted data. 

1) Check groupId for current community,  and get creatorUserId for that group_; 

2) Check if such user exists;

3) If there is no such user, change creatorUserId for that group_ for existing user (e.g. admin);

4) Clean DB cache;

5) Check if issue resolved;

6) Check if there are other communities with corrupted data:

SELECT creatorUserId, groupId, friendlyURL from group_ WHERE creatorUserId not in (SELECT userId from user_);

7) If there are such records - change creatorUserId for them also.

Liferay 6.2 - Unable to download DL documents

Liferay 6.2 - Unable to download DL documents

________________________________________________________________________________
Description:

Documents are available in DL, and there are appropriate files in /data/document_library folder, but download link is broken. When accessing link, like:

http://domain.com/documents/279794/304265/doc.xml/29d62ab3-c587-4a4e-9346-f9c9388430a2

such error is shown:

However, when accessing the same document using host:port URL, like:

http://host:port/documents/279794/304265/doc.xml/29d62ab3-c587-4a4e-9346-f9c9388430a2

files are downloaded successfully.


________________________________________________________________________________
Fix:

Patch com.liferay.portal.servlet.filters.virtualhost.VirtualHostFilter class:

(line 290):

/*forwardURL.append(_PRIVATE_GROUP_SERVLET_MAPPING);*/

/*patch:*/

if (isDocumentFriendlyURL(
        request, group.getGroupId(), friendlyURL)) {

    processFilter(
            VirtualHostFilter.class, request, response,
            filterChain);

    return;
}
else {
    forwardURL.append(_PRIVATE_GROUP_SERVLET_MAPPING);
}
/*patch:*/

Compile it, and place into /ROOT/WEB-INF/classes directory. Restart Liferay.

Liferay-Konakart Integration

Liferay-Konakart Integration

This is post about integration Konakart shop functionality with Liferay.

Konakart version: 7.1.1.1
Liferay version: 6.1.1


I. Steps for base Installation:


1. Download clean Konakart ( http://www.konakart.com ) and Liferay ( https://www.liferay.com/ )

2. Install Konakart (into Konakart folder).

3. Go to the Konakart/custom folder.

4. Genarate KonakartStore and KonakartAdmin portlets with the following ant commands:

bin/kkant make_admin_liferay_portlet_war -DLR611=true -DnoAXIS=true

bin/kkant make_liferay_portlet_war -DLR611=true -DnoAXIS=true

(-DLR option specifies Liferay's version; -DnoAXIS option is to disable AXIS web services)

5. The konakart.war and konakartadmin.war files will be generated in Konakart/custom/portlet_war and Konakart/custom/admin_portlet_war folders.

6. Unzip liferay, and copy generated war files into liferay/deploy directory.

7. Startup Liferay, and konakart portlet will be deployed.



II. PayPal module integration:


1. Go to Konakart Administration portlet. Select Modules -> Payment -> Paypal.
2. Fill the PayPal configuration options:

Sort order of display: 1
PayPal Payment Zone: --none--
Callback username: admin@konakart.com
Callback Password: princess
Callback URL: http://[YOUR_DOMAIN]/konakart/PayPalCallback.action
Return URL: http://[YOUR_DOMAIN]/konakart/CheckoutFinished.action
Cancel URL: http://[YOUR_DOMAIN]/konakart/CatalogCheckoutExternalPaymentErrorPage.action
Test Mode: true
PayPal Id: [YOUR_EMAIL]
Transaction Currency: USD

3. Go to KonaKart Storefront portet. Try to buy product.

Possible issue:

Error 'There has been an unexpected problem Unfortunately we have encountered a malfunction.' when you try to pay with PayPal in KonaKart Storefront portet.

Links with the same issue:

http://www.konakart.com/forum/index.php/topic,1911.0.html
http://www.konakart.com/forum/index.php/topic,1910.msg7369.html
https://www.liferay.com/community/forums/-/message_boards/message/33936472

How To Fix:

1. Check your tomcat logs, if you have 'com.konakart.app.KKException: The String parameter called hostPort must be given a value. It cannot be set to null or be left empty.' exception.

If so, go to Konakart/custom/modules/src/com/konakart/bl/modules/payment directory, open PaymentMgr.java class, and add the following code at the beginning of getPaymentDetails method:

if (hostAndPort == null || hostAndPort.length() == 0) {

    hostAndPort = "YOUR DOMAIN HERE...";

}

Compile classes with ant 'compile_modules' command, and replace this class inside konakart/WEB-INF/lib/konakart.jar file.

This code will avoid the above exception.

2. Add the following code to your konakart/WEB-INF/web.xml file:

<filter>
<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>

<filterclass>org.apache.struts2.dispatcher.ng.filter.StrutsPrepareAndExecuteFilter</filter-class>

</filter>

<filter-mapping>

<filter-name>struts2</filter-name>

<url-pattern>*.action</url-pattern>

</filter-mapping>

3. Change konakart/WEB-INF/jsp/CatalogCheckoutExternalPaymentBody.jsp file - replace
document.forms[0].submit(); code with document.getElementById('konakartPaymentForm').submit(); and specify the id for the form below. This will submit the paypal form to the PayPal instead of first form on the portal page.

4. Modify konakart/WEB-INF/classes/konakart-logging.properties file to enable DEBUG:



# Modules

log4j.logger.com.konakart.bl.modules.payment = DEBUG

log4j.logger.com.konakart.bl.modules.ordertotal = DEBUG

#log4j.logger.com.konakart.bl.modules.shipping = DEBUG

# Gateways

log4j.logger.com.konakart.actions.gateways = DEBUG

log4j.logger.com.konakart.actions.ipn = DEBUG

5. Restart Liferay, and try it again :)

Liferay Migration form 5.2.3 to 6.2

Liferay Migration from 5.2.3. to 6.2

Step 1. Liferay Migration to 6.0.6

1. Create 5.2.3 DB dump (db.sql).

2. Create database for LR 6.0.6 (db606).

3. Load 5.2.3 dump into 6.0.6 database:

mysql -uroot -p1 db606 < db.sql;

Delete all database views (if any).

4. Unzip clean Liferay 6.0.6.

5. Delete all folders from 'webapps' (except 'ROOT' and 'tunnel-web'); delete jre from tomcat folder.

7. Startup Liferay 6.0.6 (with default Hypersonic database settings).

8. Shutdown Liferay 6.0.6.

9. Create portal-ext.properties file:

jdbc.default.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver

jdbc.default.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost:3306/db606?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8&useFastDateParsing=false

jdbc.default.username=root

jdbc.default.password=1

permissions.user.check.algorithm=5

image.hook.impl=com.liferay.portal.image.DatabaseHook

10. Startup Liferay 6.0.6. Wait until Liferay's upgrade process has upgraded database to 6.0.6.
