adding values in column control

How to add values in colum layout 'dropdown', in column control component in AEM 6.4?

Hi,

You can add values in dropdown from design mode.

Go to design mode and update Allowed format e.g.

2;cq-colctrl-lt0	2 Columns (50%, 50%)
3;cq-colctrl-lt1	3 Columns (33%, 33%, 33%)
4;cq-colctrl-lt2	4 Columns (25%, 25%, 25%,25%)
2;cq-colctrl-lt3	2 Columns (66%, 33%)

However you need to further write CSS rule to display column in particular formate.

for eg 3 column layout you need to write CSS like

/*3 Column ColCtr*/

  .cq-colctrl-lt1-c0,

    .cq-colctrl-lt1-c1,

  .cq-colctrl-lt1-c2{

        float: left;

        width: 32%;

    }

    .cq-colctrl-lt1-c0,

    .cq-colctrl-lt1-c1{

        margin-right: 1%;

    }

    .cq-colctrl-lt1-c1,

    .cq-colctrl-lt1-c2{

        margin-left: 1%;

    }

Thanks

Will this work for 6.4 too?

Hi,

Are you using template type and responsive grid?

If yes, You can set component policy for col-ctrl, and check if works.

And if you want you can create your own custom column control  as well.

Creating the custom grid using Bootstrap gives you complete control over the layout. You can add a parsy in each cell too that lets you drop other AEM components into it.

In AEM communities, CKEditor is used as default editor. All we want is, we want to use CKEditor as a default editor in all places in AEM.
