We have a sub-map that is used within several maps, and conditions are applied to topics in the sub-map. We haven't had an issue doing this with SDL's LCA, but is this allowed in AEM Guides (v4.2)? The topics in the sub-map are not properly excluding as expected for ORed conditions (e.g. a topic with props="analog ioLink" showing up in the "discrete" output when it should be excluded). (Detailed explanation included in the PDF uploaded here.) Or should I submit this as a support ticket in the Adobe Admin Console? AEM Guides (UUID) v4.2 On-Prem Installation (late April/early May 2023)AEM 6.5.15 On-Prem Installation

Our assets are being hosted through scene7. A new ask is for a way for text content to wrap an image. I know that it's no longer recommended to use the RTE component for images but I still added the button back in an attempt to see what would happen. I noticed it's only adding assets from our DAM and not scene7.I also attempted to set up a 50/50 container and added in a Text component and a Dynamic Media component, but quickly realized that since each component were in their own container, there wasn't a way to float it so the text could wrap. Has anyone had any luck finding a way to wrap the text around the scene7/Dynamic Media asset or add a component that will allow that while keeping the benefits? Appreciate any help, thanks!

Hi i have an issue when using a custom transformer extending from DefaultTransformer .basically the requirements that i need are  :being able to append text to all anchor links from a page this meaning is the anchor link its #clickme i should append to it baseUrl#clickme . I am using the AttributesImpl to handle the data and  i am able to process all the links that contain an anchor. Links containing anchor will be indicate by starting with # .The problem is when updating the value , if i update the attribute using for example #clickme+baseurl and then call the supper.startElement it will generate the href tag correct  but the issue is that this is wrong. The correct order needs to be baseurl+#clickme the issue is that if i append anything before the #.   I try to append the full url , externalized url , vanity url , shorter url , random text before the #. It will not matter everything will break the html of the page to be specific the one that its containing t

Hi All,       I have created a static site using standard AEM Site Template 2.2.0. It is working fine in desktop view but when change it to other views it's UI not responsive.I tried with this methods: Understanding Responsive Layout with AEM Sites | Adobe Experience ManagerResponsive layout for your content pages | Adobe Experience ManagerHow can we make a site responsive in all device views?.  

Hello, In the Guides view, how can I generate a report or a listing of all topics in my map with columns for Version Number and Version Label? I don't have access to generating baselines as a quick way to review these attributes.  In the Manage tab for a map, I see several reports. The Topic List report doesn't include these attributes, and the Metadata report has a Tags dropdown but Version Labels isn't an option. I've tried selecting the Standard Tags option but the versions don't display.  Q:- Are the Version Labels used for dynamic baseline generation a different type of tag than those available within the topics? - Is there another type of report or view that non-admins have access to with this information? Thanks!

By default it looks like for AEM Site generation the meta description in the header is getting added byfmdita/components/dita/headAnd is looking for jcr:description.I expected that somewhere in the publish that shortdesc would have been set in the AEM site files as the jcr:description but that does not appear to be the case.  Should that be expected behavior? The shortdesc ends up in the published node structure so we could look to pull that property instead of the default.Any pitfalls or concerns with taking that approach?

While using R=301 redirect the paramaters on the urls are not getting removed!E.g www.xyz.com/content/we-retail/us/en/technology#web => www.xyz.com/content/we-retail/us/en/science#web Rule used ^/content/we-retail/us/en/technology/#india$ /content/we-retail/us/en/science.html [NC,R=301,L]   Cannot use the flag QSD as i am on version 2.2   The redirection is sucess but #web persists!Anyone knows how to fix this?

AEM Touch UI page property field validation by Debal DasI have used Coral 3 — Granite UI NumberField as resourceType to achieve this functionality and JCR property structure associated with that Touch UI field has been shown below -  It has helped to stop entering values like -1, 0 , 1.9 , 5.6 and 7.999 but still authors were able to input 1.0 , 2.0 , 7.0 , 12.0.Then I came to know about content structure : validation, that I can use to restrict authors to input values like 1.0 , 2.0 , 7.0 , 12.0To understand the implementation of validation , I have referred two great documents and I will share those links at end of this blog.Let me share the implementation steps associated with validation -Created a client-library folder with categories: demo.integer.validator and written a JS to set the validation so that author can’t make input like 1.0 , 2.0 , 7.0 , 12.0 via NumberField - (function ($, w

OverviewHello AEM Enthusiasts,Today, I want to shine a light on a subtle yet significant oversight that we, as AEM developers, often commit - an unwavering trust in the resolver.getResource() API.It's common practice to retrieve resources using this API and proceed on the assumption that if it's not null, it's valid. But here's the catch: resolver.getResource() can return a NonExistingResource object even when the actual resource doesn't exist in the repository!Consider this scenario: You're developing a component that fetches an image resource. Here's a snippet we've all written at some point:Resource imageResource = resolver.getResource(imagePath); if (imageResource != null) { // Proceed with using imageResource }Looks familiar, right? But what if imagePath is incorrect or the resource has been moved? The API doesn't return null; instead, it gives us a NonExistingResource that passes our null check and leads to unexpected behaviour or down the line.So what should we do? Simple -

Benefits of SlingSafeMethodsServlet with Code Examples   by Brian Ka Sing Li Overview A robust security strategy is pivotal to safeguarding applications. As an AEM developer, we must really understand the SlingSafeMethodsServlet, an invaluable feature within the Apache Sling framework. This article explores the core concepts, practical benefits, and the heightened security it brings to servlet development. The org.apache.sling.api.servlets.SlingSafeMethodsServlet is an extension of the trusted HttpServlet in Apache Sling, introduces a focused approach to reinforcing security by limiting HTTP methods to read-only operations. This deep dive into its functionality unveils the foundation upon which secure servlets can be built

AEM 6.5.5 Not Indexing Problem *Fixed*   by Brian Ka Sing @sourcedcode.com Overview In the course of establishing a new multitenant website, we opted to re-use the search mechanism for both site1 and site2.

Hi,   We need to shorten some DAM PDF url in our website.   E.g.    if PDF Path is: /content/dam/cms/myproject/resources/documents/mydoc.pdf,   on page, whether is a href or img src, It should display like /Documents/mydoc.pdf   Added rule as below in Sling Resource Resolver Factory:   ^/content/dam/cms/myproject/resources/documents/</Documents/   When I try to check if it maps to right url, it looks all good.     However, It does not shorten PDF urls on the Pages, whereas all rewrite rules for Pages work fine.   1) Do we need to write custom sling rewriter to handle this scenario? OR 2) Something is missing out here?       FYI:@arunpatidar  @ AvinashGupta01 @kautuk_sahni ,

Enhancing Efficiency and Reliability by Sling jobs by Aanchal Sikka Overview Sling Jobs in AEM serve as a valuable mechanism for handling asynchronous and background tasks. These jobs are particularly beneficial for managing long-running or resource-intensive operations without disrupting the web application’s request-response cycle. They enhance the standard OSGi EventAdmin eventing mechanism by guaranteeing at least once processing, which is essential for use cases like sending notifications, post-processing content, and managing workflow steps.   For details, refer to: https://techrevel.blog/2023/11/06/enhancing-efficiency-and-reliability-by-sling-jobs/ Q&A Please use this thread to ask questions relating to this article
