Table of contents Delegation

Question

Hi, Table of contents is a core component and it seems to suit our project requirements well. I have created a copy of it with supertype pointing to the ootb component. But, I do not require the page name that's displayed as part of the TOC list. I tried to check  the implementation and seems like a filter is being used which I am unable to delegate. Moreover, the rendering of the component is not in html and I am trying to see how the rendering is done. Any information on the end-end flow of the component functionality will be useful to achieve my requirements. Thanks !

Hi,

AFAIK, the table of contents doesn't display any "page" information (if we're talking about an AEM page). Instead, it relies on the HTML rendered on the page. It scans the content and based on what it finds, it generates the table of contents. You can check that code here how this is being rendered: https://github.com/adobe/aem-core-wcm-components/blob/main/bundles/core/src/main/java/com/adobe/cq/wcm/core/components/internal/servlets/TableOfContentsFilter.java#L302

So, if you need to change the text in the ToC, you’ll need to update the title of the corresponding element. For example:

I hope this helps.
