Custom widgets are not showing in the cq:dialog for touch ui

[Sandeep_Rawat]

Hi I am working on touch ui, and converting the dialogs (page properties, dialog etc) into cq:dialog, normal cq widgets are getting converted automatically using the convertor tool.

We have many custom widgets which we are calling in the dialogs for configuring various page specific properties, these custom widgets are not showing up in the page properties dialog in touch ui mode whereas showing up in normal mode.

Can anyone give any pointers to resolve this issue.

Hi Shekhar, 

Thanks for the information, really appreciated. I am referring to the same documents but the code link (https://github.com/Adobe-Consulting-Services/acs-aem-commons/tree/release/1.4.2) is not working so can't see the actual implementation for the custom widgets. 

Also I am not able to find the touch ui component for richtexteditor, this component is used at number of places in the configuration dialog. Please let me know if we have any granite touch ui component for richtexteditor, if yes please share the resourceType of the same.

I have tried the dialog converter package for converting my dialogs it works for most of the ootb components but for richtexteditor, textarea etc.

Please let me know if we can have more details about custom widgets, richtexteditor widgets.

Thanks,

Sandeep

Sandeep,

For richtext editor, you can use same plugins and configuration done for classic ui. See this article for details: https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-1/administer/operations/page-authoring/rich-text-editor.html . Hope this helps!

Hi Mayank,

Thanks for the information, I am trying the existing rte as a xtype, but the cq:dialog doesn't show that as it supports the sling:resourceType in place of xtype.

Please let me know if we can handle it somehow using the sling:resourceType with existing rte.

thanks,

Sandeep
