Categories and Archives components; Social Collaboration AEM 5.6.1

[keith_howe]

We have a client using out-of-the-box Social Collaboration features for a blog. We've noticed that when using the "Categories" and "Archives" components on a blog entry (e.g. on any page for which com.adobe.cq.social.blog.Blog.isEntry() would return true), the output of those components is blank. This is masked in the sample template since blog entries do not display the right-hand column where these components would show up, but this is a very limiting problem in terms of the typical layouts that might be used for a blog page.

We were wondering if this would be considered a bug or just a limitation in these components? And what likelihood that this bug (or feature) will be addressed in future releases of the Social Collaboration components? Thanks...

Hi Keith,

Same problem here. Did you ever get to the bottom of this?

[keith_howe]

We did not. I haven't had a chance to try it in 6 yet to see if this behavior has changed.

Hi Keith,

The issue you described sounds very similar to a bug that was fixed in the Social Blogs component. The fix is included in AEM 6.0 however if your require a fix for AEM 5.6.1, please file an official support ticket with daycare [1] referencing 'CQ-6941'.

Cheers
