Hi Guys,

Anyone had the problem using the component parsys in the Static Template?

I was creating static template but it isn't showing the edit option on the parsys component.

Show the screens bellow.

Anyone can I help me?

If you are using static template in touch UI, then you'd need to follow the old approach of adding the components/component group via 'template design'.

Click on the dropdown/caret next to EDIT button, choose 'Design'
Navigate to your parsys component
Add the specific components/groups to that parsys component
Change the mode back to EDIT
Click on the parsys component and you should see '+' sign to add the component(s) to the parsys

I will look into this.

However - in AEM 6.4 - static templates no longer represent best practice. Adobe recommends Editable Templates -- Scott's Digital Community: Guided Journey for Experience Manager on Editable Templates

I'll be waiting for your answer.

On 6.4 - i setup a little project where my parsys component was embedded into the script of the page - like this:

It works fine.

gauravb10066713 Do we need to do this always when I create the new page?

smacdonald2008 · 1/23/19

that is standard practice. Did it work for you?

alissonxavier27 · 1/23/19

ok smacdonald2008 but it isn’t working when I do in the main.html of the template.

alissonxavier27 · 1/23/19

Yes. It worked.

Hi,

It works for me as well.

What you need to do is simply test and include the parsys in the component JSP in the below way.

<html>

<%@include file="/libs/foundation/global.jsp" %>

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

<body>

<h1>Here is where your custom AEM Column component will go</h1>

<cq:include path="par" resourceType="foundation/components/parsys" />

</body>

</html>

It will work. It works for me. Below is the screenshots.

Hope this helps!!

Thanks,

Ratna Kumar.

Hi,

If you use HTL i.e, ex: main.html then it is not recommended to use static templates.

Please use Editable templates.

Thanks,

Ratna Kumar.

you don't need to do it again for any number of pages that you create from that template.

alissonxavier27 · 1/23/19

Awesome!

I’ll try do that and give you the Feedback.

thanks!

alissonxavier27 · 1/23/19

Thanks, gauravb10066713.

It worked!

smacdonald2008 · 1/23/19

Glad you got it working - this is the benefit of the AEM community!

alissonxavier27 · 1/23/19

Thanks, smacdonald2008 too!

You are always helping us.

smacdonald2008 I have AEM 6.4.6. While i understand that editable templates are the best option in 6.4.6, does it mean that "normal" are not supported any more? i come from a 6.3 background. I created a few templates under /apps/<project>/templates. I also created a few configurable templates. When i go to sites and do a "new page" i dont see the templates i created under the /apps/<project>/templates but only see the ones which i created as configurable templates. Any idea whats going on here?

Nothing to do with editable/static templates its issue with the allowedtemplate property on your content node likebelow-

You need add your apps folder path like below-

I realized that yesterday. Stupid me.
