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}

${pageProperties.jcr:title}

${pageProperties.sling:resourceType}

How can I do this in Sightly ?

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

${currentPage.getContentResource.getResourceType}

or

${currentPage.contentResource.resourceType}

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']} 
${pageProperties['jcr:title']} 
${pageProperties['sling:resourceType']}

Thanks,

Try below:

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

Cheers, Sudheera

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 ?
