Content Finder drag and drop associations

Since the search feature isn't currently working, I will just post here anyway:

I want to change the association that happens when you drag and drop an asset from the Content Finder (say an Image) onto a parsys. Currently you always get associated with a foundation Image component within the parsys. I want it to create a custom component (e.g. CustomImage).

Can anyone let me know where I find these associations and how to change them?

Hi,

In order to do what you are describing, you will need to override the standard Image Content Finder tab. Overriding a Content Finder tab is the same as creating a new one, you just assign it the id of an existing tab. See http://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/kb/CustomCFTab.html for an article about creating a custom Content Finder tab.

If you look at /libs/wcm/extensions/contentfinder/images.js, it should be clear where the association between the tab and the resource type is set up. Same is true for the video and documents tabs.

HTH,

Justin
