Hi Team,

 

I have one component In that i have included another component like below

Say like banner component included dropdown-bar-takeover-v2
<sly data-sly-test= "${properties.enableDate}">
<div data-sly-resource="${'./enableDateDropDown' @ resourceType = 'we-retails/components/content/dropdown/dropdown-bar-takeover-v2'}"/>
</sly>

Hi @mudaliar847906,

sounds like you will need to create a custom component but you can supertype the dropdown-bar-takeover-v2. That means inheriting all properties from dropdown-bar-takeover-v2 and then you just change what you need. For example add new fields to the authoring dialog. If you haven't done this before look for documentation explaining sling:resourceSuperType.

 

Good luck,

Daniel

@mudaliar847906 sounds like you are using nested components were you are not able to author child component?

 

if yes,

1.You need to check in the authoring page whether parsys for both the components is visible or not.

2. if its visible you need to open that parsys then do authoring for that specific component (parrent or child).

Hi @mudaliar847906 ,

As you have kept inside data-sly-test element condition, inner component(dropdown-bar-takeover-v2) won't be available(visible) by default to author until you check(author) enableDate in outer component.

First you need to enable by authoring outer component enableDate

<sly data-sly-test= "${properties.enableDate}">
<div data-sly-resource="${'./enableDateDropDown' @ resourceType = 'we-retails/components/content/dropdown/dropdown-bar-takeover-v2'}"/>
</sly>

If you want to enable (to be available) to author by default on adding the outer component itself, you have to keep outside data-sly-test element.

Thanks
