The following features have been added:

• Content filter by tags and categories within a list;
• Search and selection within a list;
• RSS-feeds;
• UJsing a list as an archive with an option to choose a year and a month;
• Send a link to an article via e-mail;
• Autocomplete for some of the form’s fields.

During project implementation our developers have significantly modified the Liferay’s standard functionality by extending and upgrading its features including Liferay core portlets, Web Content List and Web Content Display.

Data import mechanism was another addition to Liferay standard functionality.  Most of the content gets to the portal without manual input. The data is retrieved from the customer’s previous database.

A standard way of data publishing and role assignment has been changed. An option to preset a certain number of pages, where content should be published, has been added to standard Liferay functionality. The processes of role-based rights assignment and user groups-based searching were improved.

Solution Benefits:

1. Our cooperative work with the customer, our team’s first-hand Liferay knowledge, accurate requirements’ gathering process resulted in a very flexible portal, which is really easy to administer.

2. Due to Open Source solutions our customer benefited to a great extent from having the project’s budget cut significantly.
