allowedTemplates property is not working as expected (Experience Fragment)

[v1101]

Hello Community - It looks like cq:allowedTemplates is not working in 6.5.x as expected. We are trying to restrict the templates for experience fragments. Tried updating the property in /content/experience-fragments folder but no luck. We see all static templates as well after updating the property. We just wanted to restrict all other templates while creating experience fragments. Can someone assist on this issue?

Hello,

You should set property inside /content/experience-fragments/<customer_folder>/cq:allowedTemplates instead of /content/experience-fragments/, otherwise the values will get overridden on SP upgrade.

Check section "Creating and Configuring a Folder for your Experience Fragments" here [1]

@Vish_dhaliwal - Thanks for the inputs.I have already tried this suggestion but it is not working. Do you think of any other solution ?

I just tried the same steps in 6.5.5 and it works for me.

I just tried the same steps in 6.5.5 and it works for me. Steps:

1. Create new folder at path http://localhost:6502/aem/experience-fragments.html/content/experience-fragments/ 

2. Select the folder and click on properties.

3. Added "/conf/(.*)/settings/wcm/templates/experience-fragment(.*)? in Allowed properties.

4. Only XF templates are visible in createxfwizard.

Here is how it looks in crxde:

@Vish_dhaliwal- I did those exact steps but I still see all the templates while creating a new experience fragment. The policy is updated in crx (cq:allowedTemplates) but while creating a new xf it is not getting applied.

I am using 6.5.0

That's odd. Can you give it a try with latest service pack? If it does not work, please raise a support case so that we can investigate further.

Hello @v1101,

Allowed templates for experienced fragments should be set for XF root folder, for example at /content/experience-fragments.

You need to define cq:allowedTemplates property as String[] and set all available templates there, example:

/libs/cq/experience-fragments/components/experiencefragment/template

/conf/we-retail/settings/wcm/templates/experience-fragment(.*)?

You need to add experience fragment template in the allowed templates (cq:allowedTemplates = /conf/test-project/settings/wcm/templates/experience-fragment) instead of allowedPaths on the /content/experience-fragments/<project>.

Thanks!!
