Get Subtitle Page Property with HTL

I'm wanting to retrieve the page subtitle and description using HTL. Using the AEM HTL Read–Eval–Print Loop environment to test, I'm able to get the description using ${item.description} but cannot get subtitle using the same format, ${item.subtitle}. Is there a different way to get the subtitle property?

Hi @jonmaguire ,

If your page has title and subtitle as shown below, it can be retrieved as:

<ul data-sly-list="${currentPage.listChildren}">
<li>${item.title}</li>
<li>${item.properties.subtitle}</li>
</ul>

This works because the page resource (more exactly: the jcr:content resource) does have a property named "description". If you add a property called "subtitle", you can also reference this in HTL via ${item.subtitle}.

I don't know why this was marked as accepted. @chitramadan's answer below should be the accepted solution. ${item.subtitle} does not work. ${item.properties.subtitle} does work.

Hi @jonmaguire,

In your snippet, if "item" is a Page object, then item.subtitle won't work as there is no getter exposed/available for the property subtitle in Page API(com.day.cq.wcm.api.Page)

You can retrieve the same using Resource API as ${resource.valueMap.subtitle}
