Hi All,

My requirement is, I have to find the activated version and add the another field as status in sidekick and mark the status as new.

Could you please show me the right path how to achieve.

Thanks in Advance,

Mike

I don't believe there is an easy way to determine the status you are looking for. The problem is that there isn't a single field that would indicate which version is the currently activated version. You looking for the version where cq:lastReplicated was changed - which means you have to looking back at previous version so you know it changed (i.e, version 3 is the version that is active - you would have to compare version 3 to version 2 so you knew cq:lastReplicated had changed). I don't know that there is a good query to determine this - the only option I can think of is to start at the head version and walk back until you find the version where cq:lastReplicated changed.

The sidekick displays information such as AEM componentsm etc. You can use the sidekick to activate pages:

However - to locate existing activated content - you need to query the JCR and look for an activated version. Once you determine that - you can customize the sidekick. That is - you can customize the CQ sidekick to address your requirement of adding another field that shows status information. To customize the sidekick - see:

How to "Query the JCR and look for an activated version"
