AEM 6.4 | Apache Dispatcher rewrite rule to restrict classic ui authoring and exclude for one

[kotisyamala]

We have a use case where classic UI authoring should not be allowed if author tries with cf# then it should redirect to sites.html. but for only one page we need to allow the classic ui authoring?

Tired with rewrite rule for "cf" to redirect to sites.html but how to exclude one case such as allow for "content/myproject/testpage"?

Thanks,

koti

Hi,

You can trying writing a sling filter to check URL and redirect.

Example :

aem63app-repo/CustomScreenFilter.java at master · arunpatidar02/aem63app-repo · GitHub

If the URL is /cf#/content/geometrixx/en.html, the browser sends only a request to /cf. The anchor (which is the part following the # character) is not sent because by definition it only has a meaning to a browser.

You cannot use rewrites to achieve this behavior.

This may not work as Joerg has mentioned because the anchor doesn't get sent to the server.

Since the anchor isn't sent to the server you could add javascript to the client library category loaded for the /cf URL.  /cf is handled by this node /libs/wcm/core/content/contentfinder which loads javascript for the "contentfinder" xtype - /libs/cq/ui/widgets/source/widgets/wcm/ContentFinder.js.  So you could overlay /libs/cq/ui/widgets/source/widgets/wcm/ContentFinder.js under /apps/cq/ui/widgets/source/widgets/wcm/ContentFinder.js with your custom logic.
