Issue

  • With staging enabled, JavaScript URLs, referencing content in Documents and Media, are not updating when a page is published from Staging to Live
  • For example:
    • JS URL on Staging: src:'http://localhost:8080/documents/d/guest-staging/astronaut-png'
    • JS URL on Live: src:'http://localhost:8080/documents/d/guest/astronaut-png' 
    • Note change from "guest-staging" to "guest"
  • This behavior was working previously in Liferay 7.0

 

Environment

  • 2024.Q2

 

Resolution

  • This is the expected behavior of the product as of 2024.Q2 Quarterly Release.
  • We are unable to modify the URLs from Staging to Live within a JavaScript script. This is due to the vast array of potential use cases and the complexity of how these URLs are integrated into different JavaScript environments
  • The URL was working previously in Liferay 7.0, but was susceptible to different user errors. The behavior changed as subsequent versions of Liferay were released to address different issues
  • A work-around would be to publish content to the Live site separately from the page, and then paste the Live URL into your JavaScript src field
