Liferay CMS/ web content management/ workflow/ staging

Liferay out of the box has a web content management system. The web pages can mostly have these web content (articles) as web pages. The web content resource are organized as below: In liferay control panel you have the following for CMS: Article Holds the content. The article fields can be configured using a structure. Can belong to a type. Can apply a category. Can be tagged. Stored in DB column journalarticle.content as xml. Web content list and web content article portlets use these articles. Structure Defines all the fields the article will have like text input, text area, image input,etc . Also the velocity template can access these fields using the names configured here. Template An article can be displayed using a velocity template. Template can have a structure applied to it. So an article on using a structure can choose one of these templates. Tags and categories Provides a way to organize articles. Document library Documents can be uploaded. They are stored in the database. There is a document library portlet for managing this. Image gallery Holds images. These are available for article. More on the workflow staging later...
