How to Disable Targeting?

  • August 15, 2016

Hi,

After clicking "start targeting" and deleting all but the default experience, I hover over the targeted component and a 'disable targeting" link is shown (see screenshot).  When clicking, however, I get the error "cannot disable targeting due to an unexpected error".  Am I doing this wrong.  Is there a workaround that I can use to restore the component back to it's non-targeted state?  Thanks for your help.

    Hi 

     

    To Do this Globally :-

    //

        The only way to do this without modifying some javascript code (always a bad idea!) is to overlay the parsys component and on the cq:editConfig set cq:disableTargeting to true.

        You'll need to modify the following nodes:

        foundation/components/parsys/colctrl/cq:editConfig
        foundation/components/parsys/cq:childEditConfig
        foundation/components/parsys/cq:editConfig
        foundation/components/parsys/new/cq:editConfig

    You can disable at component level by setting cq:editConfig/cq:disableTargeting to true.

    To disable "target" option when edit the component you need to add property cq:disableTargeting="true" to cq:editConfig Node

    //             cq:actions="[text:Button,-,edit,delete]"
                   cq:dialogMode="floating"
                   cq:disableTargeting="true"
                   jcr:primaryType="cq:EditConfig"

    I hope this will help you.

    Thanks and Regards

      HI Kautuk,

      Thanks for the response.  I need a little more direction.  To restore the banner component back to it's non-targeted state, to which cq:editConfig node would I add the attribute? Also exactly what behavior should I expect following the edit?  Will a new icon be available in one of the dialog boxes that I can click to disable targeting on the component?  Again, my goal is to remove the targeting behavior from the banner component (see attached screenshot) without having to delete and re-create the component from scratch. I am a new AEM user, so the more detail you can provide the better.

      Thanks

        The blog posted here, as Kautul pointed out tells you which node to set: https://aemquickstart.blogspot.ca/2015/11/how-to-disbale-target-option-on.html?m=1. If you want to discuss, we can set up a connect session on Fri of this week.

        Easier resolution would be to delete the component and re-author it. While on one of the dev instance we can try to debug the actual cause.
