Is there a way to read out the site root page dynamically depending on the site the page is placed in?

[varunmitra]

Yes, you can easily access the website root with the help of Page object. You can directly call getAbsoluteParent method to access the root page at a level of your choice.

Code snippet for the component would look like:

Sightly HTML code snippet:

<div data-sly-use.contentJS="content.js">

    ${contentJS.parentPage.path}

    </div>

Content.js

use(function() {

    return {

      parentPage: currentPage.getAbsoluteParent(1)

     };

});

You can dynamically determine the site root page in AEM based on the current page's location. You can achieve this by:

1. Using AEM's Sling Models: You can create a model that adapts to the current request and retrieves the root page based on the page's path.

2. Using the JCR Repository: Query the /content structure or use the sling:resourceType property to identify the root page dynamically.

Both approaches let you reference the site root without hardcoding the page path, making it adaptable to different sites.

Hi @varunmitra,

in Sling Models, if you use adapt from SlingHttpServletRequest then you can:

// Inject the current page
@ScriptVariable
private Page currentPage;

// Get root parent page
currentPage.getAbsoluteParent(1)

Hope this helps,

Daniel
