Issue
- While the user is creating a new article, he cannot select the categories or tags of the specific site.
Environment
- Liferay Portal 6.2
- Liferay 7.0+
Resolution
- In order to be able to select the categories the property
json.web.service.enabled needs to have a true value. Please find below the description and the default value of the property in portal.properties:
# Set this property to true to enable JSON web services. Note that setting
# this to false will prevent portlets that make JSON web service calls from
# working.
#
# Env: LIFERAY_JSON_PERIOD_WEB_PERIOD_SERVICE_PERIOD_ENABLED
#
json.web.service.enabled=true
Additional note: The reason that the categories could not be selected is that the JSON web services API was restricted. This means that the property json.web.service.enabled=false is active in the Liferay system.
