Sidekick not showing in page

[hareesh_p]

Hello Experts,

I am new to CQ5 and I am trying to teach myself this technology. I have created my first page and component. But I am unable to see the sidekick. Please help.

Thanks

Hello Hareesh,

Please check if you have the init jsp included in your application or not?

<cq:include script="/libs/wcm/core/components/init/init.jsp"/>

If yes then check if the design path is configured correctly. Hope this helps.

Thanks

I'm having the same issue. Currently, I'm following the basic the-basics/website tutorial available at this link: https://docs.adobe.com/docs/en/aem/6-1/develop/the-basics/website.html

I've done to the word, everything mentioned all the way to the top navigation component. Step 4 in Using the Foundation Page Scripts suggests that I should have a Sidekick visible at this time and that the following block of code should be in the page source.

CQ.WCM.launchSidekick("/content/mywebsite/en/products", {propsDialog: "/libs/foundation/components/page/dialog", locked: false locked: false }); 

However, that's not the case. Sidekick is not visible and that block of code is not present in the source. I did some research and found out that the block of code is in /libs/wcm/core/components/init/init.jsp as already mentioned. That file is imported in head.jsp file.

What am I doing wrong? Can people point to what should I check? It seems that I've done everything as mentioned in the tutorial. I'll gladly add more info if needed.

Hi,

Follow the steps in this blog... http://www.codermag.net/2016/03/aem-sidekick-not-visible.html

In simpler words - open the products page using the following URL https://localhost:5433/cf#/content/mywebsite/en/products.html

Instead of double clicking on the Products node within CRXDE Lite, use the AEM sites page to open the products page in Classic UI.

It worked for me.

Regards,

Sendhil
