MSM: inheritance in custom components, in LiveCopy pages

[Julio_Baixauli]

Hi masters!

I'm working on Multi Site Management, on AEM 5.6.1.

I've configured a blueprint and a livecopy, and all works fine with ootb components (text and image components tested). I can roll-out changes on blueprint pages to livecopy pages, and the 'inheritance' functionality is working fine. I mean, I can cancel the inheritance of a component, change it and recover the inheritance; I can delete the component and recover it from the placeholder... and so on...

But with my custom components the inheritance functionality is not working. I can't see the padlock icon to cancel the inheritance on the livecopy (component) pages. I can make changes to livecopy components (without cancel the inheritance ¿!? ), but when I make a new roll-out of the blueprint page, the changes are lost.

Is there any special configuration, or code to include, to take care of this issue? I've reviewed the foundation components, and I don't see any special configuration or code related to blueprint-to-livecopy inheritance.

Any help will be very appreciated! Thank very much!!

Best regards!

Julio.

Hi masters!

This issue has been solved.

For the inheritance functionality works fine, you need to do some work on your custom components:

• On the root folder of the component, create a cq:EditConfig node. No extra properties are needed.
• On the previous cq:EditConfig node, create a cq:InplaceEditingConfig node. No extra properties are needed.

I have to do more tests, but it works for me for a basic, test component. Don't ask me why... :-)

Best regards,

Julio.
