Day 07 - Sling Models by Redquark Blog Abstract Howdy fellow developers 👋! In the last post, we learned basics of HTL and clientlibs. Both HTL and clientlibs are responsible for rendering an AEM component on the frontend. There are times where we need to perform complex business logic on the backend and AEM is no exception. AEM uses the OSGi framework for its backend activities and as we know from part 2 of this developer series, we write our Java code in OSGi bundle and deploy it to AEM. In this post, we will create a simple component and perform some business logic on it using Java and based on that we will render the output on the page. The Java code will reside in a special model class known as Sling Model. Sling Models Wouldn’t it be great if you have a direct way to map your JCR node properties to your model class? Say what? Yeah, of course, it would be 😎. Sling Models lets us do this in AEM. Sling Models are “pure” POJOs which map Sling objects (resources, r

The Emoji Year in Review by Adobe Blog Abstract Happy World Emoji Day! 🥳 As much of the world is still scrambling to get a hold on the current COVID-19 crisis, it may be easy to dismiss emoji as something frivolous and not worthy of attention when there are so many bigger issues to tackle at the moment. However, for those of us who are on lockdown orders to not leave our homes except for essential purposes, having emoji available to approximate physical contact has been a way for many of us to show empathy and maintain some semblance of lightheartedness during these trying times. In the wake of the recent Coronavirus 👑 🦠 outbreak, some previously overlooked emoji have shown their worth. In particular the soap emoji 🧼 can serve as a reminder of the importance of frequent hand washing, and the masked emoji 😷 can help us encourage others to be considerate of others and to wear a mask when going out to public places. We’ve also seen increased use of the raised fist em

Deep diving into Sling models PT6 by Digitalum Abstract The final chapter: Customizing AEM Core Components Nowadays you won’t find a lot of projects anymore that don’t make use of the AEM Core Components, and with good reason. The core components provide some nice out-of-the-box functionalities and best practices that help to decrease the development effort required to build a website. If you haven’t already, you can find documentation here (https://docs.adobe.com/content/help/en/experience-manager-core-components/using/introduction.html) and the open source git repository here (https://github.com/adobe/aem-core-wcm-components). Because we make so much use of them, we often find ourselves creating overlays for these components to extend their look & feel, but what if we want to modify the underlying backend code? In this blog post we’ll discuss how we can do that, using the Sling delegation pattern. Please note that in order to make use of this feature, you need to have the Slin

How to distribute content in AEM across multiple publishers by Chitra Madan Abstract The term “distribution” means the ability of picking one or more resources on a certain Sling instance in order to copy and persist them onto another Sling instance. The Sling Content Distribution module is able to distribute content by: 1. “pushing” from Sling instance A to Sling instance B 2. “pulling” from Sling instance B to Sling instance A 3. “synchronising” Sling instances A and B via(third) coordinating instance C In this blog, I am going to list down all the steps required for synchronising two sling instances. How to Test: Make a change in any of the content in one of the publisher under /content/we-retail and validate the changes in the other publisher. How to Debug: Above changes done in the configMgr can be validated in below path: http://localhost:4502/libs/granite/distribution/content/distribution-agent.html?agentName=socialpubsync Click on Edit and change log level to Debug Read Ful

The Sling Content Distribution (SCD) module allows one to distribute Sling resources between different Sling instances. The API works at path level and the distribution agents basically enable distribution of specific paths between instances. There are several main use cases in which SCD can help. Please refer to the below blog, in which I have listed down the configurations required to set up the distribution across multiple publisher instances using Sync Agent. https://medium.com/@madanchitra13/how-to-distribute-content-in-aem-across-multiple-publishers-475e3e650054

We have a customer requirement to activate the child page on rollout from language masters. Currently, author has to first rollout to child geo and then again go to child page and then publish. Instead, has anyone done a custom rollout that would activate the page that was rolled out? Ideally, on the rollout screen, we would like another option to just rollout that reads "rollout and publish" and aem directly publishes the rolled out page

I am getting redirected from an payment gateway page to AEM page. However i am getting 403 error when i redirect.Tried to redirect to we-retail page as well but the same issue persists.

I could not find the method getScriptPaths(String[] servicePaths) from com.day.cq.wcm.webservicesupport.impl.ServiceLibFinderImpl anywhere.Moreover I need to do some customizations in particular to that method.Where can I find the implementation part of the getScriptPaths method.Kindly help.

There is a requirement from business to change the default AEM deletion functionality.Current functionality: When an already activated asset/web page is deleted from author instance, AEM first deactivates the asset/web page (results in deletion of the same from Publisher instance) and then it deletes the page from author.Expected functionality: When an already activated asset/web page is deleted from author instance, AEM should not deactivate the asset/web page from publisher and instead only delete the page from author instance.Although, AEM is following a good practice to deactivate first from publisher and then delete from author which will not result in creation of ghost pages. Business wants to follow an approach where we can avoid unintentional deletes from authors/producers which doesn't result in deletion of the content from all the instances.I kind off reverse engineered the AEM delete process which executes a servlet call /bin/wcmcommand with parameter 'deletePage', however i

Substance by Adobe Helps Keep INDG’s Product Visualization Business in the Pink by Adobe Blog Abstract For a clothing company like Pink Shirtmaker, there’s a lot to be gained by going digital. Unlike a traditional physical prototype, a 3D model of a shirt can be created quickly, consumes no raw materials to produce, and can be used anywhere in production, from initial design iterations to final marketing imagery. It can even be used to generate a rendered image of a virtual product on a website: something becoming increasingly important during the COVID-19 restrictions as more people begin to buy online. Images so real you could touch them Founded in 1999 by Frans Vriesendorp and Bas Gal, then both students at the University of Groningen in The Netherlands, INDG has grown to become one of the world’s leading product digitization agencies, now employing over 90 people across its offices in Amsterdam, New York, and Bucharest.

Adobe Analytics With AEM - Converting Predictions To Actions by SpecBee Abstract Take a moment and think about all the different ways a potential customer interacts with your brand. Your customer might have heard about you or your brand from a random facebook post, or even a flashy ad that he saw on his vacation last weekend. In today's world, the explosion of data-driven digital transformation has enabled industries to gain insights on customer behaviour, in turn allowing them to market smarter and sell better. While data plays a vital role in understanding the journey of a customer, how a brand utilizes this data can be the real difference between providing an amazing customer experience or a lackluster one. And customer experience is the key to holding on to your existing customers and also to attract new customers and widen the reach of your brand.

But the line to get into your DAM? It’s longer than ever! Don’t believe me? Chances are you have an incomplete view of what digital asset management (DAM) platforms do.

A Guide to Integrating Adobe Experience Manager & Magento by Bounteous Abstract Adobe Experience Manager is a strong contender in the digital market for managing content for companies on a large scale. Magento is a widely used eCommerce platform. Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) was not built for commerce, and Magento was not built for content (although some basic functionality has been added). Allowing each of these systems to operate independently while relying on each other creates a synergistic relationship that translates to a better user experience, both for the business and the customer. Based on our experience, we’ve rounded up our top key learnings, best practices, and recommendations for integrating AEM and Magento. Our Experience What could drive the need to use both AEM and Magento together? Is a headless integration ideal? What if a separate integration is needed during the checkout or login process? Can a mostly-headless integration be done? Let’s dig in! Integratio
