First Image in Parsys with cq:include

[Former Community Member]

I have a parsys that contains a number of custom image types. I'm building a component where I want to include the first item in that parsys. What is the best way to accomplish this? I should also not that when the image items are re-ordered in the parsys, I always need to take the first one.

Hi There,

Thanks for reaching out to Adobe Community.

You can create an AEM component that manages text and an image. Also, the component that you learn to create in this article has a CQ dialog box that lets a user select an image during design time.

Creating a new component seems a bit superfluous for getting the first child node of a given path. I have a path to the parsys, I simply need to get the first child node for a given a path within a cq:include or sling:include.
