Hi The option tools->general->Configuration is not only to create templates but also other things like CF.

The maven did the same thing via command, it created your project configuration for template under /conf/

Maven makes your job easy by giving you the basic structure which is needed to start with your project. But always if additional configurations are need you have to still do it manually under the configurations.

thanks arun but when i create editable template from configuration browser and enable the template but if like i click on create page under site console then this created template are not shown

You need to allowed your custom templates in your site root page from page properties -> advanced.

You can see available templates from CRXDE , there will be a property called cq:allowedTemplates which restrict use of templates.

ok i understand that but normally if i not execute the maven command and direct i want to create page from my configuration browser template and there is no default page available for going to page properties then how to use this template?

[arunpatidar]

You can use any template inside any site if you specified as cq:allowedTemplates

Templates

ok so where i mention this property if i have not any page

[arunpatidar · Accepted solution]

So you want to create site using custom template then you need to explicitly add allowedPath property in your template. or you can directly create site without using template from CRXDE and add cq:allowedtemplate

you can refer we-retail for reference
