Can i force "card view" when sharing a link to the sites console?

[fourthWaII]

I believe column view is the default for users viewing on desktop... but for certain 'decentralized' authors responsible for very specific items, I would prefer they land on the page in card view to keep things as straightforward as possible. 

Is there a URL parameter or something I can include in the URL to determine what view option is selected? e.g: http://localhost:4502/sites.html/content/brand/product/internal-resources?view=card

Hi @fourthWaII ,

You have to extend collectionpage

/libs/granite/ui/components/shell/collectionpage/collectionpage.jsp

This is the default code that sets the view (column view) of the page when it loads:

String targetViewName = getTargetViewName(slingRequest, consoleId);

List viewCache = new ArrayList();
Resource currentView = null;

int i = 0;
for (Iterator it = resource.getChild("views").listChildren(); it.hasNext(); i++) {
	Resource item = it.next();

	if (i == 0 || item.getName().equals(targetViewName)) {
    	currentView = item;
	}

	viewCache.add(item);
}

Hope that helps!

1. Overlay the /libs/dam/gui/content/assets/jcr:content/views/card and under /apps/dam/gui/content/assets/jcr:content/views/card

2. Add a property sling:orderBefore to the list node , something like below

name: sling:orderBefore String card

3. The XML looks something like this

<views jcr:primaryType=”nt:unstructured”>

<card

jcr:primaryType=”nt:unstructured”

sling:orderBefore=”card”/>

</views>

You can do the same for card view.

Thanks

@HImanshu_Jain_ That is for dam asset view not for content tree.

Hi,

There is a cookie, which is responsible for showing card layout, if someone you can inject this cookie from dispatcher/slingFilter based on the IP or usergroup then you will be fine

cq-sites

card
