OOTB archives not working

[Veena_Vikraman]

Hi

    I am using the OOTB blog feature without any change in the OOTB components like archives, categories etc. I have taken a local copy of the blog components under my project and using the same. But the issue I am facing is, when I am using archives, It is not rendering any list of pages . 

  I wanted to know , for the OOTB archives to work, do we need to follow any particular page structure.?? Not sure whats preventing the archiving functionality

Thanks In Advance

WHat version of CQ are you using?

I am using 5.6.1 . My blog page structure is /content/<root_page>/en_us/blog

Hi Sham

   Thanks a lot. After little more research I could find that if the sling:resourceType of blog template is "social/blog/components/page" . Then only the archive is functioning. So if I want to have my own blog page, the archive functionality will not work.

   Since I don't have credentials to raise an official ticket, it would be helpful if you can help me in that

Thanks

Hi Veena,

By saying "I have taken a local copy of the blog components under my project and using the same", if you mean that you copied components and/or templates from /libs/social/blog into /apps/<my-project>/social/blog, then you may have a typo in the resourceType or template properties so that the appropriate implementations are not being found.

If you look at the Geometrixx Outdoors blog example at 

    /content/geometrixx-outdoors/en/company/unlimited-blog/jcr:content

you will see

    cq:template = /libs/social/blog/templates/page

What you don't see are any social/blog components or templates in /apps/geometrixx-outdoors.

While the blog feature has not changed much from AEM 5.6.1 to AEM 6.0, the blog documentation for 6.0 was slightly modified in a way that might be of help.
