When to Use Content Fragments vs Experience Fragments in AEM? by @daniel-strmecki   Introduction In Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), reusability is key to creating scalable and efficient digital experiences. Many teams begin by focusing on components, but components alone can only go so far. They define layout and functionality, but often blend content with design. This makes it difficult to reuse information consistently across multiple channels, websites, regions, or campaigns. That’s where Content Fragments and Experience Fragments come in. These two tools let us separate content from presentation in complementary ways. When used correctly, they help deliver consistent brand experiences faster, reduce duplication, and make content easier to manage across all digital channels. Understanding when to use each is essential for building flexible authoring workflows and omnichannel experiences.  Choosing the wrong fragment type for the wrong purpose, however, can

 Hello team, I'm working on an EDS (blocks) based project.In my project, we need to include a color selection plugin that the content author can use when creating the text component (RTE).How can I implement this functionality and include it in the RTE toolbar?

Hello, We are implementing custom robots.txt which will be maintainable by content authors. the file is located in: "/content/dam/mycompany/config/robots.txt" We implemented following Dispatcher changes and deployed to AEMaaCS env: 1. filters.any# Allow robots.txt /0104 { /type "allow" /url "/content/dam/mycompany/config/robots.txt" /extension "txt"} /0105 { /type "allow" /url "/robots.txt" /extension "txt"} 2. To open file inline, rather than downloading it: in dispatcher/src/conf.d/available_vhosts<LocationMatch "^/content/.*/robots\.txt$"> Header unset "Content-Disposition" Header set Content-Disposition inline </LocationMatch 3. rewrite.rules:RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/robots\.txt$ RewriteRule .* /content/dam/mycompany/config/robots.txt [PT,L] Still, the Adobe default robots.file is shown, not our custom one.what seems to be missing? Appreciate your help!Regards,Shruti 

Hello All, We are trying to render a PDF from XDP using output service which has a logo. We are passing ImageName in the xml data node and which should pick logo from the crx- content dam path. This is working fine in aem forms 6.5 on premise and the same is not working in aem forms on cloud. Here is the js code we are using in the initialize event of the image field.var hostUrl = "crx///content/dam/myproject/images/logos/";var imageName = xfa.resolveNode("xfa.record.ImageName");if(imageName!==null ){this.logo.value.image.href= hostUrl +imageName.value+".jpg";}

Why Your Sling Filters Don’t Affect Asset Headers in AEMaaCS? by @daniel-strmecki   Introduction When we make a request to fetch an asset from AEM as a Cloud Service (AEMaaCS), our request doesn’t go straight to the AEM Publish instance. Instead, it’s handled by Adobe’s OOTB CDN, which sits in front of AEM Publisher and serves cacheable content directly from the edge. If the asset isn’t already cached, the CDN may fetch it from the cloud storage backend where AEM Assets binaries are stored. This storage layer behaves like a blob store and is fully managed by Adobe. Once retrieved, the response is cached at the CDN and served directly from there. Therefore, AEM Publisher is no longer involved in most asset delivery requests. Because of this new cloud architecture, Sling Filters or Servlets that modify response headers don’t affect CDN-served assets. We can still implement response.setHeader() inside AEM, but unless the CDN explicitly allows that header to be forwarde

I was able to publish a GLB asset (Pizza-3-Slice.glb) from AEM to Dynamic Media Classic. The asset shows as publish complete in AEM, confirming successful publishing to Dynamic Media Classic.However, I noticed the following issues:GLB not viewable in Dynamic Media Classic UIIt seems that GLB file types are not rendered or previewed directly in Dynamic Media Classic.URL behavior differencesWhen using this URL:https://s7.scene7.com/is/image/Project/content/dam/Pizza-3-Slice.glb→ The link doesn’t display anything (likely treated as an image request).When using this URL:https://s7.scene7.com/is/content/Project/content/dam/Pizza-3-Slice.glb→ The file downloads directly, but does not render in the Chrome browser.It appears that Dynamic Media Classic serves the .glb file as a downloadable binary, not with the correct Content-Type (model/gltf-binary) required for browser-based 3D rendering.Request / Input NeededAny guidance on how to properly render GLB 3D assets from Dynamic Media Classic URL

Requirement:Currently, the Sling Distribution Forward Agents utilize the Apache Sling Distribution Packaging – Vault Package Builder Factory to export packages. However, I want to configure a custom Package Builder that can export or replicate files in their native format instead of using the Vault packaging mechanism.In other words, the goal is to export the content as-is — for example:If the file is a JSON, it should be exported as a JSON file.If it’s an HTML file, export it as HTML.If it’s an image, export it as an image.At present, the default Vault packaging exports the data in a binary (vault) format, which is not desirable for this use case.I would like to understand whether this can be achieved through configuration or if it requires a custom code implementation, so I can proceed accordingly.Currently using the default vault packaging in my forward agent :

Hi all, I have implemented Sling Content Distribution (of type Sync Distribution) to sync nodes from one publisher to another publisher. I am using a custom trigger based on ResourceChangeListener, only looking for added events under the path /home/users/IDCS. Use case being i am only trying to sync new created users as i have enabled encapsulation token support and want to ensure newly created users are synced across publishers. I am able to sync the top level user nodes ( like /home/users/IDCS/ymk6sYtFij-x_-UkAyF_) across the publishers, How can i sync the group this user is part of in Publisher A to Publisher B, what nodes do i have to send to another publisher so the permissions are also synced?Below is the code to trigger an event to the sync Agent that i have configured called  "simple-agent". package com.abc.test.core.services.impl;import java.util.HashMap;import java.util.List;import java.util.Map;import org.apache.sling.api.resource.LoginException;impo

Hello AEM Community,I'm working on a component dialog in AEM where a dropdown drives visibility of field containers using a custom JS-based show/hide logic that supports multiple values per target. Goal / Functionality:A select dropdown has 4 options: Images, Articles, Posts, and VideosImages, Articles, and Posts share a common image upload fieldVideos shows a separate video path and poster fieldBoth single and multifield dropdowns are supportedValidation is handled properly — hidden required fields are not submitted, and visible fields are validated correctly Issue:While the custom JS handles visibility and validation well for the video path field, I’ve noticed that the image field (used in the shared container) allows submission even when required and empty.Oddly enough, the video path field is correctly validated. Dialog XML Snippet:xmlCopyEdit<tabjcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/coral/foundation/form/select"fieldLabel="Sel

Hi All,   I have a use case for executing sling jobs only on one of the publish instance (I want this to run only once). But it looks like the job is getting completed on all the publish instances, i.e., twice.   In Sling Job I do not see an option for running it on CLUSTER like how we have in Scheduler.   Any pointers?   @Component( immediate = true, service = JobConsumer.class, property = { JobConsumer.PROPERTY_TOPICS + "=aem/something" })@Designate(ocd = ReportGenerationConfig.class)public class ReportGenerationJobConsumer implements JobConsumer { // Some code}   Thanks, Asutosh

Hi All, I am working on a use case where I need to form the path of the work item instance path and share it on the email, so that the user can just click on the workitem path and go to the workitem path directly. But I am not able to form the correct path. I tried using the workitem.getId(), but received a temporary path with VolatileNode in it which does not exist in AEM repository. Any leads to correctly get the workinstance path ?

Hello all, I work for a company who uses designer to build forms & I am the designer. I have a dynamic pdf form that has a qr code that has been created and is printing the user attributes incorrectly. You would think the qr code output would print correctly because the Hierarchy is in order per each field as well as the Collection List. Everything checked is within this list. To make matters even more confusing is that there is a previous file that worked & it's identical to the file that I'm working on: Collection List, Hierarchy, the value of the barcode which is (Automatic Scripting, Delimited format, Pipe, UTF-8 Char. Encoding, etc.) Everything is identical. Why is one field out of order when this barcode is printed?!? I don't know what else to do, could someone help.

  Resolve Microsoft Word List Copy-Paste Issues in AEM RTE   by @mukeshyadav_  Overview The RTE component in AEM has mainly two paste modes (wordhtml and plaintext). Plain text mode scraps all the mark-up as the mode name suggests. While “wordhtml” keeps the markups and works well for most of the tags. But when authors copy any list (ordered / unordered) from Microsoft Word document ( Desktop application ) and try to paste in RTE directly, it doesn’t paste it well. It creates individual <p> tags  with dot (.) and 6 span tags  instead of ul or ol as shown below.   Solution: To resolve this, the JavaScript of the OOTB EditToolsPlugin was customized -: Create a custom clientlibs for the RTE, applying it specifically to the RTE component. Override the EditToolsPlugin.js to intercept the paste operation, clean MS Word formatting, and convert the list to proper <ul> or <ol> tags while preserving other styles (bold,
