Actual Question:

In JSP I have used (currentPage.getContentResource()).getResourceType() to access resourcetype of a template from a component.

In sightly I wondered if we can access the same using ${pageProperties}

I am trying following from the component.html , and I get empty String Values

${pageProperties.cq:designPath} <br/>

${pageProperties.jcr:title} <br/>

${pageProperties.sling:resourceType} <br/>

How can I do this in Sightly  ?   

[sudheeras]

Try below:

${currentPage.title}
${currentPage.path}

Cheers,

Hi, 

Not quite sure if this helps, but just pasting it across[it looks like probably there are other two methods available].

There are three methods to access content in AEM WCM:

• Via the properties object introduced in global.jsp:
  The properties object is an instance of a ValueMap (see Sling API) and contains all properties of the current resource.
  Example: String pageTitle = properties.get("jcr:title", "no title"); used in the rendering script of a page component.
  Example: String paragraphTitle = properties.get("jcr:title", "no title"); used in the rendering script of a standard paragraph component.
• Via the currentPage object introduced in global.jsp:
  The currentPage object is an instance of a page (see CQ5 API). The page class provides some methods to access content.
  Example: String pageTitle = currentPage.getTitle();
• Via currentNode object introduced in global.jsp:
  The currentNode object is an instance of a node (see JCR API). The properties of a node can be accessed by the getProperty() method.
  Example: String pageTitle = currentNode.getProperty("jcr:title");

Hi,

Try this -

${pageProperties['cq:designPath']} <br/>
${pageProperties['jcr:title']} <br/>
${pageProperties['sling:resourceType']} <br/>

Thanks,

AryA.

This did not work for me , when I use this on my component.html :(.

I tried this as well. I am still not able to access these page Properties

If you have this in JSP, you can do it like this in Sightly:

${currentPage.getContentResource.getResourceType}

or

${currentPage.contentResource.resourceType}

I checked with my colleague its working for him. 

Do I need to install any new hot fix / service pack ? for Sightly to work fine ?

[Feike_Visser1]

This is basic/core functionality of Sightly, no need for add-ons here.

How can I access node properties of different nodes. (directly by HTL , not by js or java )

something like this ?

<div id="data" data-sly-use.tesr="/etc/ttt">

  ${tesr.count}

[Feike_Visser1]

In 6.3 you can access the resource directly via data-sly-use.

Example: htl-examples/button.html at master · heervisscher/htl-examples · GitHub

[ebin_Aby]

Any way we can do it in 6.1 . Was trying by  HTL Block Statements

<div data-sly-use.product=“/etc/commerce/product/12345”>

  ${ product.title }

</div>

[Feike_Visser1]

this feature was added in 6.3

What about getting other properties other than the title when using a jsp, such as getting the height?

[cmr96960454]

Actually we can read the page properties in CQ as below.

${pageProperties.jcr:description}

If we enter jcr:description as some html content is page properties. How to read/handle that in sightly?  Any suggestions please?

[Feike_Visser1]

${pageProperties.jcr:description @ context='html'}
