How to see where a page/component is inheriting from?

Avatar

Level 2

If I have a page or component that is inheriting its settings from another page or component, how do I see which node it's inheriting from? A graph-like holistic view of all page inheritance would also be useful. Does a tool like that exist?

I'm in AEM 6.4.2.

Hello,

The parent livecopy should have a cq:LiveSyncConfig node, for example /content/we-retail/ca/en/jcr:content/cq:LiveSyncConfig. You can check the path of blueprint or source from the "cq:master" property.

I don't believe there is a tool but you can check the following properties from crxde to check for inheritance.

sling:resourceSuperType: It is used to achieve inheritance in cq. When set, it inherits the specified component to this component.

sling:resourceType: It is a path, which locates the script to be used for rendering the content. Path used can be absolute or relative.

For a specific page, please go to /content and your page path.

1. click on jcr:content and find the sling:resourceType. check the path which is given in this property.

2. under the page component you will find the property "sling:resourceSuperType" which will tell you from where the page is inheriting from.

* if you don't have custom page component which is having all scripts, then probably it will inheriting from:

for Sightly: /libs/wcm/foundation/components/page

for JSP: /libs/foundation/components/page

for core components: /apps/core/wcm/components/page/v1/page

Hi,

I was actually referring to rollout inheritance, not the actual node type inheritance. So if I rollout a page from one path to a different path on the site, the entire page is copied under a different path in the JCR. If I'm looking at the rolled out page's nodes in CRX, are there any properties that tell me which page it's inheriting its content from?
