I am very excited about this! Administrating the portal with a few clicks is now very easy, you just have to acces the Control Panel in the dock menu (top right) to do any of the following things:

• Manage users, organizations and communities
• Create or assign roles
• Manage the content (Articles, blogs, wikis...)
• Add new plugins
• Update my account
• Change the settings of the portal and the server
• ...

Did I tell you how much I love being the Administrator since I have this amazing Control Panel?

In my previous entry I told you how I could manage the entire portal from the Control Panel.

In this entry I wanted to show you how you can configure the preferences of your portal.

There is a file called portal.properties with all the parameters you can configure for your portal. Please be advised, you should not modify this file. Instead, create a portal-ext.properties file and you can overwrite these properties there (More information about this here).

Have a look at this file to see everything you can do. You will probably find this page very useful:www.liferay.com/web/guest/community/wiki/-/wiki/Main/Portal+Properties+5.1.1
