Actual Post:

Hi All,

 

I am working with a HTL template and wanted to add some parsys components so we can make changes from the front end interface. Adding images, specifically.

 

My question is in regards to parsys resources. I have these tags in my html.

   <div class="logo" style="height:100px;">

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

   </div>

 

The problem is that from the front end editor these show as very tiny lines, and its impossible to click them. And if I click them and add an image to them, I have to refresh my browser because the changes aren't reflected in my current session. I don't see any errors in the console log.

 

 

Is there something I need to do to make these bigger? Viewing the source shows them having a class as container is-disabled. Could that be my issue? I can add a new component to the ones I can click, but clicking them is the hard part. If you also have any ideas for why I may have to refresh the browser for any changes to show up. (I.E, I add a new image but the option to configure it does not show up until I refresh the page)

 

 

<div data-type="Editable" data-path="/content/vhhomecare/Home/jcr:content/left-par" tabindex="0" draggable="false" class="cq-Overlay cq-Overlay--component cq-Overlay--container is-disabled" title="Paragraph System - HTL [Root]" style="top: 224px; left: 8px; width: 1887px; height: 37px;"><span title="Paragraph System - HTL [Root]" class="cq-Overlay--component-name">Paragraph System - HTL [Root]</span><div data-type="Editable" data-path="/content/vhhomecare/Home/jcr:content/left-par/*" tabindex="0" draggable="false" data-text="Drag components here" title="Paragraph System - HTL [Root]" class="cq-Overlay cq-Overlay--component cq-droptarget cq-Overlay--placeholder is-selected is-active" style="top: 0px; left: 0px; width: 1887px; height: 0px;"></div>

 

 

Let me know what you guys think or if I'm even doing this the right way, thanks for your help.

 

-Brendan

    Hi Zeeshank,

    Thanks for your responses, I was able to figure out my problem! I needed to add an image as one of the allowed components in the design tab before I could click them in the edit tab. It had no allowed components so it wasn't clickable.

    They are still very small and every time I add a component to a parsys, I need to refresh the browser to get it to update. Any ideas why this would be happening?

    Not the worst, but at least I can add things again!

    Thanks

    Brendan

    can you share the HomePage.jsp and is HomePage is a page component.Correct the name of HomePage.html and add <div data-sly-include="body.html"></div> in HomePage.html

      Sure - HomePage.jsp

      And I'll make a HomePage.html

      This was able to load everything but I got the same issue of the UI not refreshing when I try to add something to the page. :/

          Also make sure to install CFP1 / 6.3.0.1

          It has this fix for this parsys:

          • The HTL based Paragraph System component (/libs/wcm/foundation/components/parsys) should be adapted to the new component wrapper behavior. NPR-16980; Hotfix for CQ-4206620, CQ-4206621

            Hi Feike,

            Thanks for the suggestion, I installed that hotfix and see the same issue (not refreshing when I add/delete/change a component in parsys). My changes update okay but they do not reflect until I refresh the page. Do you have any other ideas for what could be causing this?

            Thanks

              Hey Zeeshank,

              Here is the page with the component. I can add an image

              After adding the image it looks like this until I refresh my browser

              Then refreshing it looks like this

              And with no components added and none allowed  in design mode it looks like this

              Here is the page screenshot in preview mode

              Body.html screenshot

              Let me know what you think and I appreciate the time

              Brendan

                Can you remove all ClientLib(css and js) loaded into the page and clear the browser cache and then reload the page.

                  Hey Zeeshank,

                  It's removed. I didn't have any lucky with that, it looks like it is an internal library that is giving me the issue.

                  If I view the page outside of the editor it's HTML looks like this

                  Inside the editor, specifically where the parsys is, it looks like this. You can see the height:0 px on the sidebar indicating why it is basically hidden, showing in the style=""

                    I've just had the same problem (0 height parsys) and it was fixed by the inclusion of the line: <div data-sly-include="head.html"></div>

                    With the following code I had a 0 height parsys:

                    <h4>Hello world! 3</h4>

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

                    With the following code I had a 46px height parsys:

                    <h4>Hello world! 3</h4>

                    <div data-sly-include="head.html"></div>

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

                      The parsys itself is just super tiny and unclickable. I had also faced the same issue and I figured out that:

                      we need to initialize the Experience Manager authoring UI by including the following code:

                      <!--/* Initializes the Experience Manager authoring UI */-->

                      <sly data-sly-include="/libs/wcm/core/components/init/init.jsp" data-sly-unwrap/>

                      Once you do this parsys comes like this:
