Our customer wants to be able to see tree nodes in alphanumeric order in the pathfield dialog from the 'redirect' field on the siteadmin page properties dialog. I found an article here - http://experience-aem.blogspot.com/2014/04/aem-cq-56-sort-tree-nodes-of-browse-dialog-pathfield.html - that shows what appears to be a pretty simple solution to what our customer wants. I've been struggling with this for a couple of days but can't seem to find the right solution to add the listener described in the article to the built-in siteadmin page. I tried copying /libs/foundation/component/page component to /apps/foundation/component/page and applying the listener and additional javascript there but that didn't work.

What is the best way to accomplish what I need?

While creating template is AEM we usually inherit the functionality from OOTB page component on top of which we add our own files.

So in all at the end /libs/foundation/components/page will be rendering. Now here is the point, have you override dialog of OOTB page component.

Can you see dialog at /apps/history/pages/page path ?

Here is great article by Adobe : https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/cq/5-6-1/howto/website.html

Thanks for the reply. Here's the XML for the dialog:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <jcr:root xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0" jcr:primaryType="cq:Dialog" height="400" stateful="false" xtype="dialog"> <items jcr:primaryType="cq:WidgetCollection"> <tabs jcr:primaryType="cq:TabPanel"> <items jcr:primaryType="cq:WidgetCollection"> <basic jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget" path="/apps/foundation/components/page/tab_basic.infinity.json" xtype="cqinclude"/> <advanced jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget" path="/apps/foundation/components/page/tab_advanced.infinity.json" xtype="cqinclude"/> <image jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget" path="/apps/foundation/components/page/tab_image.infinity.json" xtype="cqinclude"/> <cloudservices jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget" path="/apps/foundation/components/page/tab_cloudservices.infinity.json" xtype="cqinclude"/> <blueprint jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget" path="/apps/foundation/components/page/tab_blueprint.infinity.json" xtype="cqinclude"/> <livecopy jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget" path="/apps/foundation/components/page/tab_livecopy.infinity.json" xtype="cqinclude"/> </items> </tabs> </items> </jcr:root>

But since the advanced tab from the dialog is an include, here's part of the XML from /apps/foundation/components/page/tab_advanced (note the 'listener' on the 'redirect' item):

<jcr:root xmlns:cq="http://www.day.com/jcr/cq/1.0" xmlns:jcr="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/1.0" xmlns:nt="http://www.jcp.org/jcr/nt/1.0" jcr:primaryType="cq:Panel" title="Advanced"> <items jcr:primaryType="cq:WidgetCollection"> <advanced jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget" collapsed="{Boolean}false" collapsible="{Boolean}false" xtype="dialogfieldset"> <items jcr:primaryType="cq:WidgetCollection"> <language jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget" cls="cq-propsdialog-pagelanguage" fieldLabel="Language" name="./jcr:language" optionsProvider="CQ.utils.WCM.getLanguageOptions" type="select" xtype="selection"/> <redirect jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget" fieldLabel="Redirect" name="./redirectTarget" xtype="pathfield"> <listeners jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured" dialogopen="function(){ExperienceAEM.sortTags(this, true);} "/> </redirect> <designpath jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget" fieldLabel="Design" name="./cq:designPath" predicate="hierarchyNotFile" rootPath="/etc/designs" xtype="pathfield"/> <alias jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget" fieldLabel="Alias" name="./sling:alias" xtype="textfield"/> </items> </advanced>

Any guidance on what I'm doing wrong would be greatly appreciated!
