inheritedPageProperties not available at all child levels

I am facing an issue where my custom added property is available to direct children but not grandchildren. For example, I have a property showTitle and its value is set on page 1 and is available on page1.1 but not available on page 1.1.1. I need it to be available in all subpages of the page1. Any ideas on how to achieve that.

Hi @volga_dharam_rakshika,

 

You can access inheritedPageProperties in different ways:

  1. Sightly: ${inheritedPageProperties.myCustomProperty}
  2. Java: InheritanceValueMap 
    1. Definition as per the documentation: The InheritanceValueMap is an extension of the ValueMap which allows taking the hierarchy of resources into account while looking for properties. As such, if a property is not found on the current resource, it will be looked upon by its parent and so on. The exact inheritance mechanism depends on the implementation.
    2. Sample Code:
      1. @ScriptVariable
        private Page currentPage;
        InheritanceValueMap ivm = new HierarchyNodeInheritanceValueMap(currentPage.getContentResource());
        String inheritedValueMyCustomProperty = ivm.getInherited("myCustomerProperty", String.class);
  3. If it is JSP you can use the same way as Java.

 

Hope this helps.

 

Thanks,

Kiran Vedantam.

    Hi @kiran_vedantam, this works fine on author instance but on publish instance InheritedValueMap is not working as expected. It fetches the value from parent only not grandparent.
