 I have a component , I want to add an extra space between the 2 fields. Is there any properties available in AEM to achieve this. (like Width ,height) 

Thanks in Advance.

Hi,

You can create a css file add the custom styles you want and add it to authoring category to reflect the changes.

category-name: cq.authoring.dialog.all 

Style I added for testing:

.coral-Form--vertical .coral-Form-field.coral3-Textfield {

margin-bottom: 50px;
}

Otherwise try adding some hidden fields and see you are getting required space

 

Hope this helps !

Hi,

There is no property to add height or width.

All the available properties for text field can be found at https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/6-3/sites/developing/using/reference-materials/granite-ui...

To add a custom layout, you can add id or class to the field and handle using css

If you just want to add some space between 2 textfields(Textfield2 and Textfield 1) then you can inject an empty heading type field(not a clean solution though) https://helpx.adobe.com/experience-manager/6-3/sites/developing/using/reference-materials/granite-ui...

Hi @dhanubrp,

Personally, I wouldn't use empty fields as the next developer who comes along will instinctively wonder "why are there empty fields here?". It's not very elegant.

Here is an OOTB method using CSS that you can do in 10s.

On your fields, add the following property:

wrapperClass  --  String  --  padding-b-2

padding-b-2 is an OOTB utility class, so no need to add your own CSS.
wrapperClass will add that class name to the wrapper element.

You could also use the granite:class property with the same value, but it's best to use wrapperClass as a general rule. This is because granite:class adds a class to the actual input and wrapperClass adds a class to the wrapper which contains the input and the label. For bottom padding it makes no difference but you can image that for top padding, if you use granite:class, you'd have padding between the input and label, and nobody wants that  

Here is the result:

padding-b-2 stands for 2rem of bottom padding, but of course, if you want more or less padding, or if you want to use a margin, etc. you can use a different utility class. Find the list here: http://localhost:4502/libs/cq/gui/components/authoring/editors/clientlibs/sites/page.min.css

This comes with a warning: these utility classes are only usable specifically in dialogs of the Page Editor. If you want to use the same trick somewhere else in the TouchUI, you may have to find another way.
