Unable to add clientlibs to the new tab in the sidekick in Touch UI by overlay

[shaheenas113483]

I have added a new tab and functionality in the sidekick, so I have overlayed /libs/wcm/core/content/editor/jcr:content/sidepanels/edit/items/tabs/items, and added a new tab into it. but I am unable to add clientlibs to it to add my functionality.

[Prince_Shivhare]

is there any clientLibs loading in sidekick in OOTB?

just confirming.

There are a few clientlibs, but all of it are for ClassiC UI, and I am working in AEM 6.4 Touch UI. Other than clientlib how else can I add functionality to the new tab, like TextField, Button, etc. @Prince Shivhare

I can see editor.html - /libs/wcm/core/content/editor

is nothing but a cq:page. can you please try doing the same thing as we do for our website content pages.

Also, sidekick means left rail you are talking about right?

and if you already have a clientLib then I would suggest that overlay and modified them.

In this path:/libs/wcm/core/content/editor/jcr:content/sidepanels/edit/items/tabs/items, editor is of type 'cq:page'. If we check below they have added tabs and each tab has its functionalities, I have added my tab there but I am unable to add my functionality to it. How did they add those functionalities to those tabs?

Yes, by sidekick i mean the left rail.

have you tried a modification of existing clientlib which is being used?

[shaheenas113483]

Yes, I have tried to add a js file to the existing clientlibs, with a line of 'window.alert', but it loads when I goto Classic UI->Websites (http://localhost:/siteadmin), it doesnt work when I edit a page in touch ui. The path I tried is : path: /libs/cq/ui/widgets/source/widgets/wcm/Sidekick.js and clientlib:  /libs/cq/ui/widgets

Editing a page in TOuch UI does not impact the Side Kick - which is a Classic UI tool.

[Prince_Shivhare]

/libs/cq/ui/widgets/source/widgets/wcm/Sidekick.js

the path itself is saying it's classic ui. try on touch ui clientlib.

/libs/wcm/core/content/editor - in this path I can see one clientlib is loaded. please check there.

I wanted to make changes to the sidekick. Customization of it. @smacdonald2008

Well, I found that we can add functionalities like we create content component to the page and add it to the tabs node of the editor.html page.
