Is there a way only one component allowed for a parsys???

Hi All,

we have requirement that needs to allow only one component for parsys. Generally when we drag a component in parallel it will create one more empty parsys and can create  drag/drop another component but we do not want this behavior.

Is there a way to restrict like this??

Thanks,

Kishore

    Go into design mode and edit the parsys to only allow for the single component you're referring to.

    Another Reference Article :- http://wcmaem.blogspot.in/2013/12/copy-parsys-component.html

    //

    Customization of parsys to restrict number of compnents in CQ

    1. Copy the parsys component from(/libs/foundation/components/parsys) to your poroject(/apps/<project nmae>/components/).
         2.  In the design dialog add number filed configuration to enter the number of components.
     
               Crate node noofcomp of type cq:widget under /apps/<project nmae>/components/parsys
                  /design_dialog/items.
               Add the following properties
     
               xtype : numberfield
               name : noOfComp
               maxValue : 20
               fieldLabel : No of components
     
     
         3.   Create ajax.jsp and write the below logic.
               <%@page import="com.day.cq.wcm.foundation.ParagraphSystem"%>
               <%@include file="/libs/foundation/global.jsp"%>
               <%
                     ParagraphSystem parSys = ParagraphSystem.create(resource, slingRequest);
                     int totalComponents=parSys.paragraphs().size();
                     int restrictCompoNo=Integer.parseInt(currentStyle.get("noOfComp","20"));
     
                    if(totalComponents >= restrictCompoNo){
                          out.println("true");
                      }else{
                                out.println("false");
                        }
                   %>
     4.  You need to overlay the EditBase.js and Sidekick.js
     
              Create the following structure   /apps/cq/ui/widgets/source/widgets/wcm
     
             then copy the EditBase.js and Sidekick.js form libs . Place under /wcm /
       
             In Sidekic.js at line 4098 in set timeout method add this snippet.
     
                var parentPath=editComponent.path;
                var ajaxUrl=parentPath.substr(0,parentPath.lastIndexOf("/"))+".ajax";
                var notAllowToCreate = CQ.HTTP.eval(ajaxUrl);
               
                if(!notAllowToCreate){
                    editComponent.createParagraph(definition);
     
                }else{
                    CQ.Ext.Msg.show({
                                       msg: 'You reached  the maximun limit. You can set the limit in disign mode.',
                                       buttons: CQ.Ext.Msg.OK,
                                       icon: CQ.Ext.MessageBox.WARNING
                                    });
     
                   }
                    dropTarget.editComponent.hideTarget();
     
     
             In EditBase.js at line 1181  in set timeout method add this snippet.
           
               var parentPath=e.path;
                var ajaxUrl=parentPath.substr(0,parentPath.lastIndexOf("/"))+".ajax";
                var notAllowToCreate = CQ.HTTP.eval(ajaxUrl);    
                if(!notAllowToCreate){
                    e.createParagraph(definition);
     
                }else{
                    CQ.Ext.Msg.show({
                        msg: 'You reached  the maximun limit. You can set the limit in disign mode.',
                        buttons: CQ.Ext.Msg.OK,
                        icon: CQ.Ext.MessageBox.WARNING
                    });
                   
                }
                e.dialogs[CQ.wcm.EditBase.INSERT].hide();
                e.insertDialogMask.hide();

    I hope this would help you.


    Thanks and Regards
