How do I disable the design dialog on an overlayed component?

[djevenson]

I created a copy of the List core component by overlaying it, and I've customized it pretty heavily.  None of the options in the design dialog apply anymore, so I'd like to disable it altogether so that there is no Policy icon on the component in the template editor.

Does anyone know how to do this?

Hi,

if you don't want design dialog you can delete it from your copied component or keep it empty without items.

Thanks for your response.

I didn't copy the component (though maybe that's what I need to do) - I overlayed it.  Deleting the cq:design_dialog node just makes it use the dialog from the core component.  I could keep it empty, but I was hoping for a cleaner way to just disable it altogether.

while overlay you have option to hide certain property or node

you can use sling:hideChildren = cq:design_dialog

Using the Sling Resource Merger in AEM

Thanks

Where would I put that?  I tried a couple things but it didn't work.

I believe you are not overlaying but overriding using proxy component for wcm core list component.

In this case you need to hide design_dailog.

Create the design_dialog node and  create a property sling:hideResource

• type: Boolean
• value:  true
