In the world of art and cooking, the concept of “upcycling” is not a new one, but has gained traction.  Imagine that you are an artist and discover that someone is getting rid of their “junk” (which is in the eye of the beholder) in their yard sale.  You, as the artist, take the “junk” off their hands and transform what one person wanted to discard into a piece of art that is now highly sought after.  I love to cook, and will oftentimes take leftover food from a previous meal and, in a personal episode of “Chopped,” use that leftover item and create a new and delicious meal from it, such as a duck fried rice dish that I created from a roast duck from a few nights ago.  I provided a picture of the finished product below  This is an ironic way to start a Marketing Nation blog post, but it relates to situations that we as Marketing Operations professionals commonly face, which is the question of “what do I do with this inherited (and possibly suboptimal) Mark

Hello AEM Forum,Dan here, always eager to contribute towards AEM solutions and simplifications. Today, I'm thrilled to introduce you to something I've been working on ― a chatbot named "AEM Expert". I'm excited, but also, curious to see your reactions to this AI-powered buddy. "AEM Expert" isn't just another bot but a new assistant powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT, designed specifically for AEM. As a single developer, I've tried to put in all my dedication and resources to make this a top-tier assistant for AEM debugging and problem-solving. I wanted to provide a centralized, accessible source of information for AEM issues. It may sound ambitious, but the bot has already ingested all the public AEM documentation and can provide solutions on a wide range of topics. So, "Why this chatbot?" Well, the goal was always to create a concise and instant solution for AEM difficulties. But enough about what I think, now, it's time for some crucial input. You can check our new friend at

What is changing?   Currently, Marketo Engage Forms use jQuery library version 1.x when embedded on websites. In our next release beginning on January 9th, 2024, we will be updating the jQuery library used by forms2.js to version 3.7.1.   Why is this change being made? The currently used jQuery version has security vulnerabilities, is not sufficiently supported by browsers, and has reached the end of it’s supported lifecycle. jQuery 3. x offers enhanced security, better performance, smaller file sizes for faster loading on slow networks, ECMAScript 6 support, and several other advantages.   What customer action is required? If your company’s website loads its own version of the jQuery library, and your website uses embedded Marketo Engage forms or forms2.js, it must be updated to support jQuery library version 3.x.   When must customers make the change? Customers that load their own version of the jQuery library on their website and use embedded Marketo Engage Forms

I have a content fragment template where there is a JSON type field that holds a list of image URLs. Each entry is a named field with the URL to an image as the value. This was done due to the maximum numbers of URLs that may be checked in validation of the text fields in a content fragment that look to be a URL.   What I'd like to do is reduce the size of the images JSON by selecting which field I want.   The normal returned response would be something like: { "data": { "testModel": { "items": [ { "itemNumber": "369769", "description": "Some description for the fragment", "images": { "image1": "/content/dam/images/image1.jpg", "image2": "/content/dam/images/image2.jpg", "image3": "/content/dam/images/image3.jpg", "image4": "/content/dam/images/image4.jpg", "image5": "/content/dam/images/image5.jpg", "image6": "/content/dam/images/image6.jpg", "image7": "/content/dam/images/image7.jpg"

Try-With-Resources: Ensuring Session Closure, AEM Code Example   by Brian Ka Sing Li @ SourcedCode.com Overview In the dynamic realm of Java programming in AEM, effective resource management is a cornerstone of writing robust and reliable code.

Hello dear community,I have a nut to crack that you probably have figured out already.This is the situation:If an asset gets updated with a newer version, the old file can still be found in the timeline and can be restored. Which is nice.BUT is it possible to download a previous version than the active one?I know i can restore an old version to become the active, newest version but this seems to be a strange workarround. Lets say i have a TIFF file with layers, some are misplaced. This is version 1.0.Then somebody corrects this and reduces the layers to a background layer then updates the asset - This is now version 1.1This file is now linked to a bunch of sites and also InDesign files.Then somebody else figures that additional edits have to be done with the layers from version 1.0 to have it perfect.The only way i see is, to restore 1.0, quickly download the asset, quickly restore 1.1 For a few minutes i had the wrong asset displayed on websites and the InDesign files in que

Hi, I'm quite new to AEM Guides/XML Documentation and I am currently trying to figure out how to get "data" elements from a DITA Map in the generated AEM Site. To clarify, the DITA Map has the following structure:<map>   <title>XXX</title>   <data>      <image id="logo" href="GUID-123asd123.jpg" ></image>      <xref format="txt" href="GUID-asd123qwe.txt" id="copyright">   </data>   <topicref ... ></topicref></map> I want to use contents of "data" element in AEM Site pages, e.g.: - show the brand logo on top of each page according to the "image" tag in Map  - show the copyright disclaimer in footer section of each page according to "xref" tag in Map I did some experiments with custom Design template for AEM Site preset and custom mappings between DITA elements and AEM components (elementmapping.xml), but I'm not able t

Content Preview/Review Solution in AEM/AMS by Blog posts around Oracle SOA Suite,Adobe... Abstract This tutorial explains the approach to define a preview solution for AEM(Adobe Experience Manager)/AMS(Adobe Managed Server) platform to preview the content through Author instance before activating the content to publishers. Some of the options to enable the preview options are 1. Share the author URL with wcmmode=disabled, this requires the reviewer should be on-boarded into the Author environment to carry the review 2. Enable an additional preview(publish) instance, establish the workflow to send the content to the preview server for review/approval before publishing the content to live, the reviewer can use the dedicated review URL to review the content. This approach needs an additional server license to review the content. 3. Move the content to stage servers for review, the workflow can be established to move the content to a Stage environment for review, this approach has some r
