Hi All,
The requirement is that the user should be able to select level2/level3 pages from the authoring dialog.If the page hierarchy is something like /content/sample/en, /content/sample/fr and so on. For now, if the assumption is /content/sample/en : level 1, /content/sample/en/pagelevel2 : level 2, /content/sample/en/pagelevel2/pagelevel3 :level3. The count of level 2 and level 3 pages will not be too high for sure, say around 50.
1] What would be the dialog field[ex:pathbrowser,dropdown etc] that can be made use of in this component in the above scenario?
2] Also, what would be the best approach to go about implementing this. Have a drop down and have the servlet get list of pages and show up or some other better way.
Any thoughts/reference code/pointers will be really helpful.
Solved! Go to Solution.

You can use the second piece of code i posted for the multifield of path fields, this will allow you to select multiple pages at really any level, but you can restrict it by path too.

I may be misunderstanding the requirements, but it would seem you could simply use the OOTB path field and set the root path to the content structure.
<pathField jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget" fieldLabel="Path Field Example" name="./pathField" rootPath="/content/sample/en" xtype="pathfield"/>
If you need to allow them to select multiple then you can put that field inside of a multifield.
<multiPath jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget" fieldLabel="Multi Path" typeHint="String" name="./multiPath" xtype="multifield"> <fieldConfig jcr:primaryType="cq:Widget" fieldLabel="Path Field Example" rootPath="/content/sample/en" allowBlank="{Boolean}false" xtype="pathfield"/> </multiPath>

Hi leeasling,
Thank you for your reply. Sorry for not being very clear.
If I want to show up pages at level 2[ /content/sample/en/pagelevel2 and /content/sample/en/pagelevel2sampleone, /content/sample/en/pagelevel2sampletwo and /content/sample/en/pagelevel2samplethree and so on...] OR level 3 [ /content/sample/en/pagelevel2/pagelevel3 and /content/sample/en/pagelevel2/pagelevel3sampleone and /content/sample/en/pagelevel2/pagelevel3sampletwo and /content/sample/en/pagelevel2/pagelevel3samplethree and so on...] in a component, how would I go about doing that, because I should be able to select Level 2 or Level 3 pages from a single dialog field.

Hi Leeasling,
Thank you for your reply.
If I give the below [OOTB commerce/components/product ] dialog field in my component dialog in AEM 6.2, it does not show up on the page at all, whereas it works on geometrrix page.
<product
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
fieldLabel="Path"
name="./productPath"
predicate="nosystem"
rootPath="/etc/commerce/products"
rootTitle="Products"
xtype="pathfield"/>
whereas if I give,
<path
jcr:primaryType="nt:unstructured"
sling:resourceType="granite/ui/components/foundation/form/pathbrowser"
fieldDescription="desc"
fieldLabel="label"
name="./Path"
rootPath="/content/xxx/yyy"/>
it works.
So,am not getting as to where exactly is the problem.
Any thoughts will be really helpful.
