HI @keerthana_hn 

 

You want to add/show the default value when the value is not authored in dialog for a field?

You can use below approach:

 

${properties.pageTitle || properties.jcr:title}

So if the pageTitle is not authored it will pick the jcr:title as the default value.

 

Thanks!

Hi @Asutosh_Jena_

 

I need to display the page title in my dialog textfield as default. How can that be achieved?

Is it the page component dialog or any custom component dialog you want to show?

Custom component dialog. Need to populate the page title as textfield value in dialog by default. While authoring can be edited.

Hi @keerthana_hn 

 

Please create a component specific clientlib which will be loaded only during component authoring and load the below JS file.

(function ($, $document) {
"use strict";

$document.on("dialog-ready", function() {
var title = $(document).attr('title');
var titleFromDialog = $(".my-custom-component").find('input[type=text]').val();
if(titleFromDialog == null || titleFromDialog == ""){
$(".my-custom-component").find('input[type=text]').val(title);
}
});

})($, $(document));

on component cq:dialog node add the property called extraClientlibs and provide the category name of your clientlibs which holds the above code.

Provid a custom class to your dialog field where you want to populate the title i.e. my-custom-component here.

Now when the dialog value is empty, it will show the page title, and if the value is authored in dialog it will show the dialog authored value.

Let me know if there are any questions. Hope this helps!

Thanks!

Hi @keerthana_hn 

 

You can read the description from metatag using the below command:

$('meta[name=description]').attr('content');

Now this value can be assigned the the respective field using the required selector (ensure correct name or id attribute is used to update the respective field).

 

Thanks!
