Adobe Experience Manager Guides

Hi Team, Understand that there is common version framework for XML editor and Adobe AEM. We have the maximum 5 version settings in our Author environment that we would be keeping same and will not be configuring or altering this configuration. However for DITA, we have the requirement to keep n number of versions (Historical data) with in repository? could you please suggest any alternative to this (Except the alternate to keep n number of versions in configuration and purge content paths using Version purge)?Also any timelines to segregate the DITA versioning with AEM versioning framework? Thanks

Looking for some best practices for customizing map/topic templates to provide a guided authoring experience for my writers.

Hi,   After migration to 4.1version PDF templates drop-down is empty with no values. Could this possibly be a bug or something? 

While mapping ditaelements to AEM components, p nodes are not flattened, even though the flatten tag is there by default for topic/p in /libs/fmdita/config/elementmapping.xml.  According to the documentation, the p nodes will be flattened, if we enable it in the configuration (https://helpx.adobe.com/content/dam/help/en/xml-documentation-solution/4-0-3/Adobe-Experience-Manager-Guides_UUID_Installation-Configuration-Guide_EN.pdf). Did the below steps to enable the flattening. 1. Enabled "flattening.enabled"  in com.adobe.dxml.flattening.FlatteningConfigurationService2. Regenerated AEM site But stillthe node structure is coming expanded the resourcetype still remains same and not changed to fmdita/components/flattenedflatten property is not created Is there anything else I am missing here? 

We are trying to understand how to upgrade the version of AEM Guides in our AEMaaCS environment. AEM Guides is enabled (and was installed) by editing our Program in Cloud Manager and ticking the box for AEM Guides under "Solutions and Add-Ons". From the release notes, it states the following:   Upgrade your current Adobe Experience Manager Guides as a Cloud Service (later referred as AEM Guides as a Cloud Service) setup by performing the following steps: Check out the Cloud Services’ Git code and switch to the branch configured in the Cloud Services pipeline corresponding to the environment you want to upgrade. Update <dox.version> property in /dox/dox.installer/pom.xml file of your Cloud Services Git code to 2022.9.178. Commit the changes and run the Cloud Services pipeline to upgrade to the latest release of AEM Guides as a Cloud Service. However when I do step #1, I see no folder path for /dox/dox.installer. Where is this located? Are we looking

Has anyone else noticed problems with ctrl-z undo, especially assuming it is a multiple-level undo in the web-based XML Editor? Instead of undoing actions in order, it seems to do a complete undo-of-everything-you-did-in-the-file. 

Has anyone seen the FMPS failing to generate a map imported from another DITA system, with that DITA CCMS's GUID, and then deleting the map from the repository upon failure? I don't have a problem with a PDF failure, but the map being deleted from the AEM repository is a problem. What's odd is that lots of other maps from the existing DITA CCMS work just fine and all I had to do to this one was to create a map with AEM and copy/paste all the topicrefs from the old map into the new map and it worked just fine. So far this has happened about a half-dozen times with dozens and dozens of other maps working just fine without having to be recreated within AEM.

We have a conref note in a topic that displays in the AEM Guides web editor author mode but does not display in Preview mode or in our published PDF. While we have two outputclasses set on different element tags in this topic, neither outputclass excludes anything from the topic. We can't figure out why this behavior is happening.

Using AEM Guides on Cloud AEM 1. Created a sample ditamap 2. Tried to generate a PDF using a sample preset created having a Hi-Tech OOTB template did not create a PDF with TOC   Does it need more settings? Or this is an issue?

As explained here https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/experience-manager-guides-learn/tutorials/configuring/config-native-pdf-publish/design-page-layout.html?lang=en#add-fields-metadata it is mentioned we can also add metadata information as variables or fields in your page layout. This metadata is stored in your source DITA map content, and it can be easily inserted in your page layout.   Please provide a code syntax on how to get the values of these custom metadata variables in the templates .plt files?

1. Is there a way to enable PDF output generation using the Native PDF publishing in the map output console? When I try to create a new output preset, I see the options to generate using DITA-OT and FrameMaker Publishing Server. However, the option of Native PDF is missing.     2. In the repository view though I can see an option to add a preset and I can configure Native PDF there and select a PDF template. But this has to be done for all maps one by one. Can this be configured at a root folder level and is available for all maps by default under it?

I am trying to rotate a table in our documentation and cannot get it to work. I have set the orient attribute on the table element to "land", but it is not showing up when I preview the document in the XML Editor or when I generate a PDF output.   

Hello Community,   I created a translation project to translate the assets (DITA Topics/Maps) from source language folder (say en_us) to a new target Ianguage (say es).  I used the OOTB Microsoft's Machine Translation (free license) for doing the same. After assets are translated, when i go to CRXde and open the jcr:content of any translated DITA topic , I see that fmUuid value is exactly same as the fmUuid value of source language DITA topic. Is this behaviour expected?   The same behavior (consistent fmUuids) is expected when we try to integrate it with any 3rd party integrations like Lionbridge? Or it depends on the vendor?      

After following the instructions in the configuration guide, when I try to generate DITA from my FrameMaker files, I get the following error. I don't have any spaces or special characters in any names. What could be causing it? 

AEM 6.5.11 AEM Guides v4.0.2.10   I have a Thai sentence inserted into my English source content because it needs to appear in the English PDF output. We do similar things with French, German, and Italian without any issues, but the Thai content renders in the PDF as a string of question marks (???????).   How do I get the Thai and any other non-Latin/Germanic characters to display? Is this a UTF-8 vs UTF-16 issue? AEM Guides is UTF-8 and our previous CCMS (SDL LiveContent Architect and XMetaL) was UTF-16 and allowed this.

I added a custom workflow model to the "post generation workflow" input of AEM SITE output config. After the I click the Generate button, the status of output never changes to complete. After manual verification, I see that the site output was generated correctly and the workflow was executed fine as well (workflow was marked COMPLETE and moved to achieve). However, the output console corresponding to the ditamap keeps on showing post-processing state and never finishes. The workflow I used is very simple with only a process step which has just a logger statement inside. I am not getting enough information for the API being triggered: http://localhost:4502/bin/publishlistener?operation=PUBLISHBEACON&source=%2Fcontent%2Fdam%2Fdita-content%2Fen%2Fmyproject%2Fc2240%2Fmaps%2Fconfiguring-universal-paper-settings.ditamap&_=1662452045391

Hello -- Anything we place inside the <draft-comment> element is appearing in our PDF output. I thought if I changed the document state of the topic from “Draft” to “Approved” or “Done” in Assets this would prevent the <draft-comment> from appearing in the published output.   Unfortunately, that did not work, and the <draft-comment> appeared in the published output after I changed the document state of the topic to “Approved” or “Done”.   How can this be resolved?

After upgrading to SP12, we’re seeing strange behaviors with move functionality. When I try to move a master page that contains live copy, during the move operation it only moves that specific page, no references are pulled. However, when I try to move the same master page back to its original position, it shows all the references of live copies that should be published/re-published. Is it the expected behavior?

When I upload files to the AEM Guides repository, the file title is correct (the file name is the UUID).   After I open the map and topics in the XML Editor, the file title changes to match the <title> element within the topic. The name/title of the file in the repository needs to be different from the title element within the topic. How can we make the file title stop changing unless we change it in the Properties?

Hi , I am working on XML Documentation and able to create DITA content successfully using XML Documentation add-on.I am able to generate DITA content on AEM sites but it is giving me static template.I want to know how to use/ display DITA content on editable template?. I followed this discussion also but now working. I already gone through this video tutorial but they have only mentioned about XML editor. Can anyone please share any blog or tutorial that giving clear understanding on DITA implementation.

I'm getting an Unable to Validate XML error from the XML Editor, but I can't figure out what the problem is. I'm moving content from out of a table cell and as far as I can tell from the source view, I have not violated DITA.  Specifically, the error is happening when I'm moving a <ul> out of a table cell. I'm getting the error whether the <ul> is placed within a <p> or if it is placed outside a <p> element. Has anyone else seen issues when moving content out of a table? 

While switching to AEM spell check in XML editor, Authors should be able to select or right-click a word and choose 'Add to Dictionary'. Authors need an interface from XML Editor to be able to add words to the dictionaryfor example shown in below screen shot  

Hi There,   It will be a great help if anyone here help me with the configuration and implementation process of the Hreflang tags across multiple country sites of the same domain through XML sitemap, can it be automated?   Thanks in advanceSaday Kumar

I have few DITA topics referenced in DITA Map but the topics list not appearing in Topics Panel in DITA Map Dashboard. What can be the possible issue ?  

While using the XML editor I am getting  an additional space displayed at the end of hyperlink text. In source mode the additional space is not present wherein the publish mode the additional space is getting addedfor example:Testing link at end of a sentence test text spaces . Testing link at end of a sentence nospace .   What can be done to resolve these kind of issues.
