Dialog property retrieval on page via sightly

 Also, there are couple of dialog properties[of type "String"] that I have to retrieve, which is also not coming up on the page.

Hope this helps. 

you can access a value like

${ properties['jcr:title'] }

OR

${ properties.jcr:title }

However, I would insist you to share the exact piece of code you are trying to use.

Hi edubey,

Thank you or your reply.

I have posted the portion of html code that I am trying to make use of.

Very strange, but with the option you mentioned it is not working but working only for the title property and not for others (as mentioned in the first post,, that snippet is working fine).

Not sure where I am missing things.

currentPage.title is retrieved by objects at page level.

If you are not able to read properties saved from dialog using above suggested method.....then please see error.log as something is going wrong in your component.

If property exist it can be easily retrieved.

Hi Edubey,

Just an update,

If I try with data-sly-test="${currentPage.properties.customproperty}" in the above snippet. I am able to retrieve the custom property value at jcr:content level.

But the other doubt I had was :

#3] How do I retrieve dialog properties in the page, as the one mentioned in this post is not working.

Same way, example

<h1>${properties.data}</h1>

Let me know if I misunderstood your question...

Hi Scott,

Thank you for your reply.

Yes, I had a look at the article. There we are retrieving properties via the java code and then invoking that java code in the sightly file. With that approach it is working fine. But they want us to retrieve the property values only by making use of sightly and no Java.

@Edubey :

Not sure why "${currentPage.properties.customproperty}" is not working for properties at dialog level.

Not sure what am I missing here.

 Also, there are no errors getting logged.

OK  - we will make a second article (similiar use case) that shows use without Java - that is - getting the values without using Java and just Sightly.
