Parsys not appearing with editable template - AEM 6.4.4 with nosamplecontent runmode

[BaluM]

Hi,

We are getting issue when page created with Editible template where parsys is not showing to edit page.

 *This issue occurred only if instance created with "production / nosamplecontent " run mode, this is working fine in a lower environment where sample content is available. 

We are getting the same issue with below sample custom template package.

Error logs: 

19.03.2020 17:34:29.117 *WARN* [10.50.134.19 [158463926906] GET /conf/projname/settings/wcm/templates/test/structure.html HTTP/1.1] org.apache.sling.caconfig.resource.impl.def.DefaultConfigurationResourceResolvingStrategy Ignoring reference to /conf/projname/settings from /conf/projname/settings - Probably misconfigured as it ends with '/settings'.

Please share your thoughts.

@BaluM,

When you generated the /conf folder, you might have copied over some references of we.retail example, rather than using AEM's out of the box configuration manager, http://localhost:4502/libs/granite/configurations/content/view.html/conf, where this is a common mistake as most developers take templated or inspiration from the we.retail project. 

How to fix: My suggestion is to analyse the nodes from "/conf/projname/settings", and ensure there are no references to the we.retaill components & configuration, and also ensure all referenced sources in AEM exists.

Please take a moment to follow this video tutorial, as it will show you exactly how to create an editable template from scratch, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4FWTs_RAO34

I hope this helps,

Brian.
