How to Add Personalization to Slick Carousel in Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) by LEO RUIZ Abstract Intro Having to personalize the carousel component is a common request from clients, and typically it needs to support personalisation. This should be a simple request, but without understanding the intricacies of DOM triggers, you'll quickly get frustrated by errors when trying to preview the component. Read on, as we uncover the core issue and demonstrate how to solve it. Aw, Snap! Throughout my extensive experience as a Front-End Developer, I've found myself on more than one occasion having to create an AEM component that contains a carousel, that should also supports personalization. It seems like a rather simple task on the surface - but there is one big problem. After personalizing the carousel component, clicking ‘View as Published’ would immediately collapse the entire site and throw up an ‘aw snap’ error. Not great! Root Case It took a few days of debugging I found the root o

AEM micro-optimization (part 1) by Jörg Hoh Abstract As a followup on the previous article I want to show you, how a micro-optimization can look like. My colleague Miroslav Smiljanic found that there is a significant difference in the time it takes to compute these statements (1) and (2). Node node = … Session session = node.getSession(); String parentPath = node.getParent().getPath(); Node p1 = node.getParent(); // (1) Node p2 = session.getNode(parentPath); // (2) assertEquals(p1,p2); He did the whole writeup in the context of a suggested improvement in Sling, and proved it with impressive numbers. Is this change important? Just by itself it is not, because going the resource/node tree upwards is not that common compared to going downwards the tree. So replacing a single call might yield only in an improvement of a fraction of a milisecond, even if the case (2) is up to 200 times faster than (1)! But if we can replace the code in all cases where the getParent() can be used with

Building an AEM Authoring Component out of HTL/Sightly; no JSP required! by Benjamin Solum Abstract Adobe gives us a ton of authoring components out of the box! I mean, just look at them all in CRXDE 😲! If you’ve spent any time on an AEM project you’ve no doubt composed component authoring dialogs using: Textfields, Switches, Multifields, etc. Adobe does a great job of providing almost everything a developer could need! Occasionally though, we’ll need something a little more custom and on those occasions, datasource takes care of me 95% of the time. For example, let’s say we have a Button/CTA component that needs to open up a modal/dialog. We can easily build a list of modal components on the page using a servlet and then provide that list via datasource: Straightforward and easy for a Content Author to use, right?

Here is the process to move a program which has members to a new workspace. The solution retains program membership, the membership date, program status, the success date, acquisition and acquisition date.In this example we are moving a program from the 'Default' to the the 'NAM' workspace.Step 1 - Remove all associations to the program and assets inside the program from smart lists and smart campaigns outside of the program. You will not be able to move the program if it or any assets inside of it are being used. Also, you won't be able to move the program if any assets inside of it are referencing items outside the program like static and smart lists, smart campaigns etc.Step 2 - Make sure you aren't referencing a form in the design studio. Step 3 - Make sure any assets used in the program are referencing templates or snippets which are in a shared folder.  Step 4 - Create a new 'Temporary' lead partition and associate it to the 'Default' workspace which contains the program you want

In the past year, Workfront has added a lot of flexibility to how preferences can be set globally and optimized at the group level for each department’s unique needs. This has introduced a change in thinking about the role of the System Administrator and the Group Administrator. It's also introduced some questions. For example, who owns what between System Admins and Group Admins? How should Group Administrators be trained to ensure they're making the right decisions? What do Group Administrators need from System Administrators (and vice versa)? How should governance be implemented down to the group level? Join us on Tuesday, May 4 at 11 a.m. Eastern / 8:00 a.m. Pacific / 4:00 p.m. UK for an interactive networking session where we'll be discussing the evolving role of the Workfront Group Administrator. Register here. @Lilit Mkrtchyan‚, Product Manager at Workfront, will be sharing an update on the new group-level settings and preferences, and how we're seeing organizati

Introducing Adobe Experience Manager Assets Essentials to simplify collaboration across teams by Elliot Sedegah Abstract Over the last few years, almost every brand has felt the pressure to accelerate the shift to a digital everywhere world. Customers now expect rich imagery and video at every interaction across the customer journey and every brand must deliver. We must transform from a world of siloed channel marketing, with many more teams working in concert to orchestrate customer experiences at scale. From ideation, creative production, to experience delivery — many more users are involved in the experience making process. However, many organizations still struggle to find a consistent approach to deal with the thousands of images, videos, and rich media used in the experience making process. Marketing teams and content creators are often stuck in their organization’s silos or use apps that do not enable the seamless flow of work and sharing of digital assets. It is not unusual f

Adobe announces new solutions to improve ecommerce experience for Adobe Commerce by Jason Woosley Abstract COVID-19 was one of the defining moments of 2020, and its impact on how we connect, work, shop and entertain ourselves still reverberates today. One of the most profound shifts we’ve seen during the global pandemic is the significant and almost immediate acceleration in ecommerce. According to Adobe’s Digital Economy Index, the pandemic gave ecommerce an extra $183 billion boost in the U.S. within the last year, as consumers flocked online to meet their daily needs and mitigate the spread of the virus. And, as significant as the changes were on the consumer side, the shift to digital among companies serving business buyers was even more dramatic. According to a McKinsey report, 85 percent of business-to-business (B2B) companies shifted their models to include digital commerce in 2020. In today’s digital economy, the idea that brands must better understand their customers’ path t

Don’t worry, it’s not your fault! The web was simply designed with an undue amount of trust in, well, people. As the web has evolved, some data points that used to be available across sites have been determined to be security and/or privacy risks, and they’ve been made harder to get to, if not impossible. Cookies — which have gone through several iterations of security and visibility lockdowns — get the most publicity in this regard. But much the same has happened with the Referer HTTP header and the corresponding document.referrer property in JavaScript.   What is (or was) the Referrer? When you click a hyperlinked <a> in a browser, the Referer header (yes, that misspelling is in the original standard, perhaps a harbinger of things to come!) tells the target URL about the source URL of the request. So when you click to go from  https://www.some.example/?some_query_param=here  to https://some.other.e

Personalization drives Business Growth by One-inside Abstract Again, it is this time of the year: It is time for Adobe Summit. Unfortunately, the Summit is online. Fortunately, it is free for everybody to watch the 458 sessions. Nevertheless, Summit started with a keynote hosted by Adobe President and CEO Shantanu Narayen, which held quite a few surprises. Instead of his living room like last year, Mr Narayen welcomed the audience from the lobby of an Adobe corporate building. The style reminded us of Apple keynotes, but Narayen did not take us to a walk at Apple Park but came directly to the topic. Of course, the pandemic was responsible for one of the biggest disruption corporates faced: the fast move to digital. Digital experiences shape how we live, learn and play, Shantanu said and added that there is no going back: Every business has to be a digital business. E-Commerce made a huge step forward. In 2020, 844 Billion Dollars were spent through e-commerce, almost twice as much
