Issue

  • We have staging enabled for a long time with only the Dynamic Data Lists portlet staged
  • After updating to Fix Pack 61 or above, our staging configuration has changed and shows not only the Dynamic Data Lists as a staged portlet, but Blogs, Bookmarks, Documents and Media and Wiki too

Environment

  • Liferay DXP 7.0 Fix Pack 61+

Resolution

  • The behavior is due to the fact that the mentioned portlets' DataHandler values in the group_ table -> typeSettings field :
    • BlogsPortlet -> BlogsAdminPortlet
    • BookmarksPortlet -> BookmarksAdminPortlet
    • DLPortlet -> DLAdminPortlet
    • WikiPortlet -> WikiAdminPortlet
  • In the meanwhile, the typeSettings of the Live site, where this configuration is actually stored kept the old portlet names
  • Therefore those portlets will falsely be shown as staged portlets, because their names weren't in the typeSettings so it assumed that they are staged, but there is still only the Dynamic Data Lists being staged
  • Knowing that the configuration is still correct, you can find a Groovy script attached to this article that you can run in the Control Panel -> Configuration -> Server Administration -> Script to update your site's typesettings, so the configuration will be shown correctly again.
    Check the group_ table in your database and put the affected site's groupid in the script where it says <<<Place Group ID here>>>.
