AEM Communities Members Component

[prasannar139996]

We are in the development process for implementing AEM Communities. In our local environment(AEM 6.2) we have setup AEM Communities.

When a new community group is created,  this member section is created by default and the sling resourceType is set as social/group/components/hbs/communitygroupmemberlist.

If we would require to customize the Members section and implement custom members component (Extending social/group/components/hbs/communitygroupmemberlist component)  then during creation of new Community Group how the new member component can be associated instead of  the OOTB social/group/components/hbs/communitygroupmemberlist.

For example if the extended component is under path /apps/<xyz>/components/communities/communitygroupmemberlist.  If we extend Forum component  then this component can be dragged and dropped in Group Template Editor so that its part of new Community Group.

You can extend community components in AEM like you can any standard AEM component.

Hi

Yes we have extended some components like Forum and Added in Group Template. But OOTB Member Component(social/group/components/hbs/communitygroupmemberlist) gets added automatically when a new community group is created.

We would like to have our custom Member component(with sling resourcetype as /apps/<project-name>/components/communities/communitygroupmemberlist)   getting added by default when a new community group is created. Please let us know is this possible after extending the component.

Thanks
