How to get the currentPage URL in cq:dialog dropdown datasources?

How to get the currentPage URL in cq:dialog dropdown datasources?

In Touch UI dialog's, the dynamic dropdownlist are loaded through data sources, sometime we may need to get the current page URL from where the dialog is opened to load the dropdownlist data.

String path= request.getParameter("item");

Returns the content path with out jcr:content, e.g /content/test/en/home

String path = (String) request.getAttribute(com.adobe.granite.ui.components.Value.CONTENTPATH_ATTRIBUTE);

Returns the path with jcr:content, e.g /content/test/en/home/jcr:content

Adobe Experience Manager(AEM) 6.4 - Touch UI conversion Tips

Adobe Experience Manager(AEM) 6.4 - Touch UI conversion Tips

This post explains some of the issues identified during Touch UI conversion in AEM 6.4.

Embedded child components are not editable in Touch UI:


The Touch UI editing is not enabled for the components embedded in another component

e.g

The component2 is embedded in component 1(component1.html)

 <div data-sly-resource ="${ @path='component2', resourceType='/apps/test/components/component2 '}" >

The edit option is enabled for parent component(componet1) but not for child component(component2)

editing_issue_embedded_components

The embedded component editing is not enabled if the parent component also included the parsys through sly tag.

The issue is resolved after replacing the sly tag with div tag

<sly  data-sly-resource ="${ @path='cartBottomParsys', resourceType='wcm/foundation/components/parsys'}"/>

to

<div data-sly-resource ="${ @path='cartBottomParsys', resourceType='wcm/foundation/components/parsys'}"/>

cq:dialog Inheritence:


Parent dialog tabs and properties are displayed(Inherited) in the child component  in Touch UI but the same is not inherited in classic UI.

To hide the parent dialog tabs and properties in child components add the below property to the items node under tabs node in child component - e.g /apps/test/components/pages/homepage/cq:dialog/content/items

Name: sling:hideChildren
Type: String[]
Value: *

To hide the specific tabs from parent component

Name: sling:hideChildren
Type: String[]
Value: tab1,tab2
