Greetings everyone,

I've been trying to integrate the two by using CEs, but I can't seem to get things working when using exactly these two versions.

By following bits and pieces of tips and guides found around the web, I managed to get it working for ZK 6.5.4, but no matter how hard I try, with 7.0.1 the app just completely disappears.

I'm using a custom listener for inits/cleanups to create/destroy any needed session variable, and I'm sure it runs through there (Eclipse breakpoints are triggering as expected), but anything else out of that doesn't.
In other words, it gets initialized correctly, but it's never rendered.

I've got a couple hunches about it, but I'm not sure if those are actually the reasons of my issue or not:
- AlloyUI is conflicting too much with jQueryUI. But then again, Liferay seems to be so much integrated with AlloyUI, I'm not sure deleting it would be a smart choice. I already tried (without positive result) and will keep trying to look into this myself as well, but if someone knows a way to disable it on a per-portlet basis and is feeling nice enough to share the info, it'll be much appreciated.
- Something changed in how ZK 7 manages portlets or classes extending DHtmlLayoutPortlet in comparison with its previous version.
- Something changed in how ZK 7 manages sessions in comparison with its previous version.

Unfortunately, I've been told to use Liferay as a requirement, so no, I can't use PortalLayout from ZK EE's trial version (and eventually buy it). Should you need anything else, ask and I shall provide, if I can.
