Customize parsys for specific components

Avatar

Community Advisor

Hi,

I've some components that can be dragged on a page using parsys. What I want is to restrict the parsys for some component only i.e only banner, carousel component can be dragged but teaser should not. 

Also, I don't to overlay parsys and make changes in jsp accordingly. So, can we do something in parsys or components so if we drag component(i.e teaser which we don't want to drag) displays message that this particular component can not be dragged.

 

Thanks,

Himanshu

Hi Himanshu,

In my view, Your requirement does not seem reasonable. However, The objective of Parsys is to hold any type of components. It is a container. And, By restricting to specific components, In a way, we are changing the parsys behavior.

I would say, if the author knows that this or that parsys should contain this type of content then there is no point of restricting. Author can't say that I dropped this component despite knowing it. Even if the author does add the content, Author still has a chance to remove it.

What Praveen suggests is the proper way to perform this use case. Simply un-select the components from the group that you do not want to appear in sidekick. Now those components will not be displayed and cannot be dragged.
