Add Components to Sidekick without use the Design Dialog.

[miguel_panadero]

Hi,

I would like a hand with this task.

I want to add Components to the sidekick, I am following this tip:

http://blogs.adobe.com/contentmanagement/2011/10/25/how-to-add-components-to-the-sidekick-without-up...

But is not reflecting to the sidekick the component that I add to the design configuration in the repository if I do not delete the browser cache and refresh the page.

I do not know if there is another easy way to do this.

My requirement is create an accordion component, is created with a parsys to permit to include accordionitem to the accordion component, and the requirement is that the accordionitem appears in the sidekick automatically when a accordion is added to the page.

Thank you for the help.

Miguel.

If you clear your browser cache - you are seeing the component in the sidekick - is that correct?

In the past - i have noticed that i have to clear the cache and reload the page to see the component. Sometimes it is necessary to clear the cache when working with AEM.

Yes If I clear the browser cache I can see the component in the sidekick.

But It is not a good behaviour to me, I would need to do this automatically, I make a code to create the changes in the repository, but if the component is not shown in the sidekick then is not valid the solution.

Thanks.

DayCare has provided an interim workaround:

Update the cq:lastModifed on the design's jcr:content node.  This property is used as the Last-Modified header on the response for/etc/designs/default/_jcr_content.1429866000000.json/.
